REAL PROHIBITION REFERENDUMS
minneapolis JournaD


Dry candidates, with exception, ran ahead Of the
wet candidates in both party primaries in Ohio. A
week previously dry candidates, with exception,
ran we'll ahead of the wet candidates in both party
primaries in Missouri.
Pretty good evidence that majority of the voters
in Ohio and Missouri favor the retention Of prohibition
What becomes then, of the favorte wet contention
that the public, if it had the chance would hasten to
substitute for prohibition less drastic means Of
promoting temperance? What becomes Of the wet ar
gument that referendum would disclose over
whelnng sentiment against the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the Volstead Act? What of the pet claim
that bonedry legislation is opposed by all States that
have considerable urban populations?
For both Ohio and Missouri States of cities, no
matter how much provincial, untraveled New Workers
may visualize them as backwoods dotted sparsely
with trading posts. Back in 1920 Ohio already was
than sixtythree per cent urban, and probably is
than seventy per cent urban today with heavy
proportion Of city jewellers Pennsylvania Connec
ticut, and heavier proportion than Delaware or Mary
Cities with hundreds Of thousands Of citizens Of
European extraction Nor can Missouri with such pop
uous industrious centers ST. Louis, Kansas City and
st. Joseph, be cassed predomnantly rural.
The vets have been magnifying the American thirst
majority of the voters of the Nation were actually
against prohibition then both Ohio and Missouri would
be in the wet column. If working folk were really
against prohibition then both Ohio and Missouri would
be in the wet column. If city jewellers were against
prohibition then both Ohio and Missouri would be in
the wet column.
The modifcatonists have long been demanding ref
erendum prohibition They are getting one in the
State primaries this year. and the outcome not to
their liking.

ANOTHER MYTH GONE

For years it has been understood that in China doc
tors paid for keeping their patients WELL The fee
continues while health is good. When man gets sick
it is because the doctor hasn't been doing his duty is
incompetent.
It good story full of an engaging plausbility.
For all occasions it had point and scogency. The ban
quet POSTMASTER and orator could always lean heavily
upon it. and for pulpit, platform, political rostrum it
could be relied upon to meet need Of argument
illustration.
From the college president down to the housemaid
talking the back fence the Chinese doctor story
had lesson vivid and simple that it carried itself
easily and every load Of collateral application and ad-
monition that any cared to pile upon it. Taken all
in ALL it was one of the most useful things Western civ
ilization has ever borrowed from the Orient.
And now comes DR.. Reginald NJ. Atwater, instruc-
tor in epdemiology at Harvard who says the Chinese
story is myth. He has been in China. He has ex-
amned the records and consulted the medical code Of
that nation And Dr. Atwater says the Chinese people
do exactly the way do here. When they are we'll
they don't bother about doctors and have the same
free disregard for the poor medcs income that we
did maeraists Of the Western world have. But when
they get sick they the for the medicine man.
As for paying to be kept WE'LL the doctor says he was
unable to find single instance Of any such practice
And so it goes with the good old myths.
