or maintained without clear thinking
and quick action. Prohibition is one
of the means by which clear thinking
is accomplished.
Who are they who are principally
interested in the continuance in the
traffic in liquor? Are they altruists
who think that the liberty of the sub
just is being restricted because he is
being protected against himself? Are
they those who grow rich at the ex-
pense of the peoples health and NOR
ais, or are they the people who at
present are the bootlegger's best GUS
toners?
Apart from those who wish to make
easy fortunes by its illegal sale, the
principal opponents of the Volstead
act are those who consider that the
consumption of liquor is essential to
their happiness. Looked at from this
angle it is the buyer and not the sell
Ter who is most interested. 1t is the
consumer and not the producer.
When pedestrian traffic was much
greater than it now is, some unfor-
tunate would now and then have to
, be saved from under the hoofs of
horses or farm toppling into some
! lake or river. But in these days of
rapid transportation it is the driver
and not the pedestrian on whom safe
ty depends. This is the age of quick
action and to have quick action we
must have clear thinking. There can
be no clear thinking if the brain of a
man is befogged by booze. He be-
comes madman on wheels and a
madman on wheels is deadly menace
to public safety.
But it is not only on the ground but
in the air that clearheadednes is re-
quired these days. The age of the air.
plane is approaching, and the thought
/ that these machines should ever be in
charge of pilots who are not consis-
tently alert in mind and body is ap-
palling.
There are some people who pretend
to have hankering after the good
old days when everything moved
much more slowly than now, but are
we to move backward fifty years OF
so, to seek these conditions? Surely
the proportion that would wish to ex-
change present conditions of living
and transportation with those prevail
ing half century ago, is negligible.
Retrogression is not in accordance
with the spirit of the American ma
ton. No nation can move backward

their vices, or, shall we say, weak
nesses? because those laws are an
tagonistic to their pet inclinations.
Nero and Diocletian thought that
Christianity was bad, but their oppo-
sition and persecution neither discred-
tied Christianity MOI killed it. Those
emperors, great as they were in their
own estimation, were centuries behind
the times. But before Christianity
was ever heard of there were edicts
against the excessive use of intoXi-
cantS.
There never was an invention or
discovery put at the disposal of man
kind but caused a great deal of worry
among some of the people. When Har-
vey discovered the circulation of the
blood, his fellow physicians consid-
cred him a lunatic; when the first
steam engines were set running on
rails there were otherwise enlightened
people who foretold that a blight
would fall upon nature and that the
country would be ruined; when the
: first illuminating gas was used, it
was denounced as a menace to the
I public health, and the people used to
touch the lamp posts with their finger
! tips to find out if they were growing
red hot.
When the first steamboats, were
foated the shippers of all the "wind-
TANNERS" that sailed the seas declar-
ed that if these floating locomotives
were permitted, the sailing ship
would have to go out of business to
the utter ruination of the commerce
of the world and the sending of thous-
ands of worthy mariners to the poor
house. When labor-saving machinery
of any kind was adopted it was the
signal for all kinds of human moles
to declare that it was labor-ruining
machinery, and that starving millions
would follow. Those who did not
worry at the advent of the telegraph
or the telephone, laughed at them, OF
said that they were devices of the
devil, and that the postal department
would crumble because there would
be no more letters to deliver.
Thus every measure that has been
for the benefit of mankind has had to
pass through a stormy period and this
is just what is now happening to the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Modern civilization wants increased
speed because increased speed means
increased efficiency, but a high stand
ard Of efficiency cannot be attained

Prohibition Is Not a Failure

An arm is raised to knife the Con-
stitution of the United States in one
of its most vital parts. The Eigh-
teenth Amendment is the object of
this menace. The country is not be-
hind this. 1t is the work of those
who are deprived of piling up wealth
on the weakness of their fellow
men. There is nothing sincere in any
movement based on the assumption
that law which is benefit to the
community as a whole must be bad be-
cause it deprives a section of that
community of the opportunity of
preying upon the others. The burglar
and the bOCtlegger as viOlators of the
law are in the same category. They
are as one in their opinion that those
who seek to restrict their activities
are doing them an injustice. Are we
on the side of the burglar and the
bootlegger, or that of sound citizen
ship?
AS Henry Ford sees it:
The fact that law is violated does
not mean that that law is bad. Burg
lars consider that the laws against
housebreaking should never have been
framed; gunmen are of the opinion
that the statute which makes it an
offense for them to take the lives of
their fellowmen is all wrong and thugs
in general are quite certain that their
liberties are unnecessarily curtailed
by legislation of any kind. Yet no
one would assert that the burglar, the
gunman and the thug are right.
Yet we find that there are people
who say that the Eighteenth Amend
ment is all a mistake because it con-
fiicts with one of their abnormal ten
dencies. One might as well argue
that the New Testament is all wrong
because the ethics of Christianity are
unpalatable to large portion of the
human race, or that because there
was a Judas among the twelve apos-
ties the other eleven were to be ever
lastingly discredited. What is right
can never be made wrong owing to
the right having been ignored or dis
regarded Such wild philosophy would
be laughed out of any school of eth
les.
Why is it that certain people do not
obey certain laws? Simply because
those laws are not in harmony with
their own peculiar likes and dislikes
because those laws are a barrier to
