Wet Opposition Justifes Prohibition

he tremendous opposition prohibition is often re-
ferred to as reason why the Eighteenth Amendment
should not have been added to the Constitution On the
contrary this very opposition proof OF the wisdom of
the Eighteenth Amendment and emphasizes the tragedy
OF the delay in its adoption.
Opposition to prohibition is based fundamentally upon
appetite for alcohol Booze profits incidental to this
appetite. A popular argument against the adoption of
prohibition the assertion that only few were unable
to control their appettes while the great majority could
take it or leave it,
But under prohibition it has been proven that vast
numbers were mistaken if they thought they could take
it or leave it. Vast numbers are willing to risk the
dangers of punishment by the law in order to appeasc
their alcoholic appetites Vast numbers are willing to
risk the greater and certain dangers in the
liquor itself in order to feed the alcoholic craving
1t IS the strength of this craving that keeps the booze
traffic alive and makes prohibition enforcement diff
hcult problem Instead of surrendcring to the traffic
the very opposition to prohibition should emphasize the
vital national Importance of keeping up the fight to
eliminate the appetite through destruction of the traffic
which keeps the appetite alive.
The fact that greed and appetite combined are sruq-
Cling so desperately against prohibition the best ust-

A special dispatch to the Chicago Daily

an prohibition mass meeting held in
Pittsburgh. 1t is significant as showing
the purpose Of the organized wet forces:
THE wet element in Pittsburgh reached
a high tide last night when 1000 persons
at palpabiy dry banquet in a hotel here
vociferously applauded the draft of bill
to repeal the Volstead act The meeting
was called by committee. composed of
many financial and industrial leaders of
this district with large attendance of
society women who are supporting the
wet campaigns.
abandoning the compromise program
for beer and light wines, and demanding
instead the repeal of the Volstead act, an
aggressive policy was enunciated by the
speakers.

Some Arrive in Gay Mood
while Pittsburgh's first great wet
dinner was dry, it was apparent that an
oasis was not far distant and numerous
were the guests who had enjoyed exhila-
rating appetizers before entering the ban
quet hall Prominent matrons and young
women were conspicuous in the audience
and among the most vehement applaud
ers of anti-prohibition sentiment.
Representative John Philip Hill of
Baltimore, Nd, the principal speaker,
made public the text of his bill for repeal
of the Nolstead act which he will intro
duce at the coming session of Congress.
The bill is as follows:
Section Each state shall for
itself define the meaning of the words
Intoxicating liquors as used in sec
ton /, of article XVIII of the amend
ments OF the Constitution of the
United States, and each state shall
itself enforce within its limits its own

of not less than $4,000 nor more
than 100000, or by both such fine
and imprisonment"

" War to the knife with the Anti Saloon
League was the keynote OF the meeting,
a sentiment roundly applauded as pro-
claimed by Charles S. Wood, of Philadel-
phia, state manager OF the association
against the prohibition amendment"
From the above it will be noted that
the repeal of the Nolstead Act is the real
purpose of the vets, not merely as they
have hitherto asserted-merc modiiica-
