Handled Issue CIeverIy

Except In concealed, local way,
prohibition promises to cut no great
figure in the next presidential cam
paign.
This is not due to lack of interest
or convictions on the part of the
public.
Phoribition is more generally dis
cussed than any problem before the
country, more people have made up
their minds as to what ought to be
done about it, and referendum
on it would bring out more votes.
But Wayne B. Wheeler. with his
careful study of politics. his orga-
nizing and investigating, his clever
handling of political leaders, has
left a nation of 100000 souls alb
solutely powerless to do more than
talk.
If that is not genius, what is it?
Those opposed to his ideas have
wasted much time with epithet and
denunciation. They would have done
better to study the qualities ano
characteristics which enabled the
man to do what he did
He was quiet. cool and calculat-
ing. While he capitalized fanati-
cism he never allowed himself to
fall under its influence. never lost
his head, never became such hope
less idealist that he forgot how to
play practical politics in a practical
way. and never was tempted to adj
vance his personal interest at the
expense OF the cause he served.
