1t has been apparent for time that the Tribune
intends to keep up its opposition to prohibition. No
doubt the Tribune managers hope that the DROP drop

preston certain in the constitutional founda-

which is the very element of reason in man. THE
GRANITE OF THE HUMAN CONSCIENCE, this

The above is reminder of the Trbune's recent boast
that it has prospered with increasing subscription lists

Big and Little Bootleggers

The policy of the federal government in concentrating
Its forces against major volaors of prohibition laws has
been widely discussed through the press in recent weeks
The adoption OF the Eighteenth Amendment gave con-
responsibilities of enforcement the and
federal The logical subdivision of this task
has resulted in federal action against major volaors and
local action against minor vioators of the law Major
vioators operate beyond lines and scale that
makes successful prosecutions by local authorities diff
hcut and often impossible. Minor vioators operate
locally territory extensive that successful prose-
cutions by federal authorities are difficult and often i'm
possible.
The federal government is free from legal and other
limitations that handicap local officials in the work of
stopping interstate smuggling and large scale liquor con-
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1925-12-12

spiraeies Local officials charged with enforcement re-
sponsbilities, are numerous enough evidence
against individual booeggers operating locally and
act promptly against them. The very OF the task
leaves doubt which class Of volaors should re-
ceive the primary attention OF the federal and the local
authorities respectively
The particular phase OF the question, however most
discussed recently is whether the federal government
should punish minor yiolators Remarks by the United
States district attorney in New ork City this sub
jet construed by the press to mean that the gov
ernment would pay attention the ordinary boot
logger The right is that the government should
punish each and every class OF prohibition law volaors
The local bootlegger, the wholesale brewer the inter-
state smugger, are all part of the awless
spracy Each and every conprator should be punished
The quality of the local boolegger's oTense is the
same as the quality of the big brewers ofense As
matter OF principle therefore, each vioator should be
given major punishment. Common sense directs that
the federal should concentrate on offenders
ciassed as major by the measure of their operations But
when individual bootleggers caught in the federal
they should be punished severely the so-called
major volators. At tie same time when local officials
discover major violations within their territory they
should proceed promptly i'll the of the midi
vidua bootlegger.
Under state enforcement laws local officials have the
power to close big breweries as well as small booze
joints In the northern district of Illinois more than
twenty large breweries closed by the federal gov
eminent. There is why OF these should
not have been closed by local authorities under the state
law The federal should keep after the big
fellows and at the time attend to the case OF any
little fellows that be captured and punished with
available federal machinery. Local government should
keep after the little fellows and the same time knock
out any big fellows within their jurisdiction. If local of
meals are too md to tackle the big and federal
officials too proud to fight the little ones there is bound
to be considerable liquor violation But if both national
and local governments prosecute both great and small
Volaors each will have little trouble with either
class of aw-breakers

One-Half of One Percent and Common Sense

The statutory definition of Intoxicating liquor flies in
the face OF common sense, says the New York Times
1hc Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Daily Journal
frequently make similar references the onehalf of
per cent limit i'll enforcement laws Writers of these edi-
tor1as assert that this definition is not sane and that
more reasonable, common legal Interpretation of
intoxicating would eliminate many enforcement prob
lens.
But would there be any sense or reason in raising the
alcoholic content constantly suggested by these edi
toria writers? The onehalf of per cent limit was fixed
IN the Vostead Act by Congress and in state enforce
ment acts by various legislatures the point where
intoxication begins but point where alcohol in bev
erages must stop to insure against possible intoxcaton
The legality of the one-haf of per cent limit was I'D
held by the Supreme Court which stated that Congress-
was within its rights i'll fixing the arbitrary point where
alcohol must stop.
The reasonabeness of one-half of per cent limit is
apparent when the question is studied from the stand
point OF enforcing prohibition Railway block systems
keep trains certain distance apart Instead of permit
ting them to approach to almost the point of col
llsion they allow for safety margin The difference be-
tween one-ha OF per cent and actual intoxication is
the reasonable safety margin that makes enforcement
possible III beverage manufacturers were permitted to
approach close to the line of ntoxcation it would be
easy for them to slip At the same time would
be hard for the prosecuting officials to prove ON which
side of the less uncertain line the liquor in ques
ton should be classified There is nothing reasonable in
the arguments for law that would make violation easier
and enforcement harder.
From the standpoint OF the drinker what sense or
reason would there be in increasing the alcoholic content

reminded of the Joy of giving the prohibition law to

joyful thing in every Christmas Each year
