american prohibition will either stand
or fall as result of the supreme test
through which it is passing today.
THE rain of doubt and criticism and
faint heartedness and abuse as never be-
fore is descending upon this structure of
prohibition. The floods of vicious propa-
ganda, of insidious suggestion and false
logic, are rising about its walls to under
mine, ii possible the base upon which it
stands The storm winds OF violent OPP
position, of appetite and greed and polit
ical demagogery are trying the very fibre
of the building.
Prohibitions supreme test is to de-
termne whether prohibition is passing
lad or permanent policy of free govern
ment, whether its foundations have been
laid i'll sand or on granite"
Prohibition has been in the testing
period from its beginning and it has sue
cessful1y passed the legal tests, the ex-
detrimental tests, the tests of public opn-
ion and the tests of enforcement even
under adverse conditions.
"The strictest of laws and even the
Eighteenth Amendment, however, carry
in themselves no guarantee OF permanent
cy of prohibition. Laws may be modified
constitutional amendments may be re-
pealed. Political expediency may support
tomorrow what it condemns today. Even
public opinion may swerve and SHIFT
Something far more fundamental than all
these must be found to guarantee the
permanency of the structure of prohibit
ton and sobriety. The real question,
therefore, is whether, in our day and civil
lization there are such factors in the case.
"Coincidental with the coming of pro-
hibition there have occurred two mo-
mentous changes which are already pro-
foundly affecting American institutions
and American life. One of these changes
IS the industrial revolution in the throes
of which America now finds herself The
keyword of this modern revolution is

One of the most conspicuous defeats
for the vets in the recent primaries was

session, John Philip Hill.
Mr.. Hill was considered the leader of
the House 'wet bloc" and it was a dull

THE other momentous change which
has been coincidental with the coming of
prohibition is the all but complete trans
formation in means and methods of COM

Time was when the newspaper head

10000 locomotive engineers in America
today, who ever reads of drunken en-
gineer either on or off duty? The Ameri-
can Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, with more than 10000 members,
is one of the greatest total abstinence So
cieties on earth. Why? Is it because of
the Eighteenth Amendment? No; it is due
to the great economic law of the age
and the greater law of public safety.

America within two decades has become

DRY LAW TO STAY SAYSPRESIDENT.-
Question of Modification Not to Be
Considered Is Word From Those
Near Coolidge

What is the undercurrent today on Pro-
hibition and its enforcement? Is the noise
OF the vets anything but noise? Are the
people being stampeded away from Pro-
hibition, or are they as determined as ever
that the dry law is here to stay and must
be enforced? What is President Coolidge
thinking on the dry situation? What is
likely to happen when Congress meets in
December? Will it proceed to make such
changes as will be an aid to better en-
forcement? What does the President
think and what do other officials think
about it?
Here is an interesting story sent out
from the summer capital by the United
Press few days ago. 1t is full of en-
enlargement to the drys.
"As he questions prominent visitors,
President Coolidge finds confirmation of
his judgment that statutory prohibition is
here to stay, whatever its merits.
This view is impressed upon him from
all sides, by politicians, business men, civic
leaders, and those in a position to detect
Inducements of sentiment This view is
held so strongly that the question OF mod
lhcatlon scarcely enters into consideration
at all. All attention is being focused on
problems of enforcement.
Sargent Arrives
ATTY. Gen.. Sargent has arrived at
White Pine Camp. OF many questions to
be discussed between the president and
Sargent, Prohibition enforcement will be
one of the most prominent. Sargent has
refused to consider any alternative to rig
orous enforcement.
1T is possible that the presidents dis
cussions with Sargent will result in his

DRY
Overwhelming Majority of Candidates in
Districts Where Election Assured
Are Dry

in the House and the United States SEN
ate for the most part have been chosen.
The primary elections are practically
over.
There arc few selections to be made
in party conventions but the campaign
has progressed to the point where fairly
accurate estimate can be made of the rel
alive dryness of the next congress. OF
course there is always the uncertainty of
the outcome of the November election
and the fight is not really over until the
last ballot is counted in November.
Drys must guard against over-conf-
dence that might possibly be inspired by
their successes in the primary elections.
These successes can be real inspiration
TO greater effort with always the posi-
bility of making greater gain than is
even forecast by the primaries.
1t now appears that the next congress
will be as dry as its predecessor. At any
rate, the vets have not made any appre-
cable gains thus far in the campaign.
over IUTo OF (dnu1udteS Ory
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of
the Anti-Saloon League, gave the press
last week the following statement con-
corning the results OF the primaries.
The popular approval of prohibit
ton has been repeatedly shown by
big majoritics at the polls. In the
recent primaries just closed, for the
seventh time national referendum
has been held in the choice of wet or
dry candidates for the national House
and Senate.
Over 20 per cent of the candidates
for the House and Senate in dis
tricts where nomination ordinarily
means election, stand for the mainte-
nance and enforcement of national
prohibition.
OF the 435 members of the House,
3o4 have been renominated. Of these,
pos vote dry and 90 vote wet. OF the

if the drys are alert.
Enforcement Dominant Issue
Mr.. Wheeler expressed the opinion
that the question of dry law enforcement
will be a commanding if not a dominant
issue in the United States for some time
to come, until we have solved situation
which is challenging but not alarming to
red-blooded citizens. He says:
The Eighteenth Amendment did not
cause the existing lawlessness but it re-
vealed it by lifting off the lid of license
under which the liquor traffic and its crim-
inal product had long sheltered them
selves.
Few nations ever coddled their crimi-
nails, permitting the delays in the admin
stration OF justice, or gave the law vio-
lators so many chances to escape through
