THE AMERICAN ISSUE

ry thing that the Eighteenth Amendment is intended
to eradicate The prohibition enforcement law conforms
to predominant public sentiment has been recently
proven by the overwhelming in support of the Vol
stead act in Congress and by the increasing number of
dry members of Congress through the three campaigns
Since the Eighteenth Amendment was adopted
The Daily News says, Let science decide whether
275 per cent beer is notwithstanding But the enforce
ment question is not how much alcohol be put into
beer without causing intoxication. If the Daily News
editorial writer drives like he writes he dsegads stop
signals every time he thinks he can get by without
collision. The theory OF traffic regulation stop
florists at certain place at certain time insure
against collisions but the News editorial writer would
make the traffic regulations conform fact and
public sentiment by simply forbiddng collisions. Tra
hc systems designed to permit the nearest ap
proach to collisions but to reasonably insure against col
lisions The one-half of per limit in enforce
ment laws is designed permit the nearest possible
approach to noxcaton but to reasonably prevent vio

Drink and Idleness

An analysis of the present situation indicates that
drinking is most prevalent among dlers. Just like dis
ease germs flourish most in stagnant water, so the
not busy.
Among the rich it is the iders that do the most drink
ing. The busy rich least inclined to take the time
trouble necessary to Intoxicating bever-
ages Furthermore the various interests that keep them
busy tend crowd drink out as factor in their lives
Among those not cassed rich it is the busy people
who have least to do with drinking. Among workmen
in general drink is rapidly disappearing. They are too
busy about their work and the things that interest them
outside of working hours
Although the idle rich and idle poor drink most even
they do not drink much compared with the old
days The social stigma of awlessness fastened on drink

5arcular harm in drinking beer at home although there
might be harm in drinking it in a public saloon
THE solution of the prohibition question does not lie
in the direction of public drinking places even though
they be confined to light wines and beer They should
be restored"
Dsregarding the Stars suggestion that home drinking
IS harmless, we inquire how would beer and wine be
sold if not through the saloon similar instu-
ton with different 1t is well-known that even
before prohibition brewers working hard to cap
ure the home trade that their product would be
stunned by more women and children The brewers also
realized before prohibition that the saloon owned
and conducted by them aroused public prejudice against
the liquor traffic But though the brewers owned
most of the saloons they either did could do
anything about reforming aboshing these institu
tons universally condemned by the vets, at least
in public. If wine and beer should be and
alcoholic habit again cultivated, how long would it be
before the saloon woul1 be restored? Furthermore
how about whisky? As chief spokesman for the whisky
interests while they legally existed in PEORIA ask the
Star whether the dsters would refuse supply the
demand for whisky that would inevitably result from
cultivation of the alcoholic appetite through the general
sale OF wine and beer?

ACT all importers ofsfoods ara required
TO post with the collector of GUS

porfefs violate the terms OF these

zion against violators.s In May sin
gle importer was assessed 1921 for
violation OF his pure food import
bonds. These violations were on I'm

A warning that the privilege of
bonded entry may be withdrawn from
individuals or firms who frequently
or deliberately violate the terms of
their bonds, has been issued by Off
cials Of the Department of Agriculture
and ofEthe the Treasury Department.
This would mean that these Importers
would have to make a bonded ware
house entry of each importation, and
the goods subject to the food and
drugs act would be held in custody
until it could be determined whether
or not the goods met the standards OF
the food laws. This procedure, IL
used. would delay delivery of mer.
cEandise and would cause such impor-
