WHY MEASUREMENT?
Golfers, June 8, 1920

Golfers accordingly now proposes an
amendment to the Eighteenth Amend
ment. amendment Suggestedl "The
Congress shall have the power to regu-
late or prohibit the manufacture, sale or
transportation Of intoxicating liquors
within, the importation thereof into, or
the expectation thereof from the United
States and all territory subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, but such grant CT
power shall not be construed to require
that such regulation or prohibition shall
be uniform throughout the United
States nor deprive the states of power
to impose additional regulations or pro-
hibitions upon such manufacture, sale,
transportation, importation or eXporta-
ton.
Such an amendment would be merely
a grant of power It would not be
definition of policy Under it any num-
Der of experiments, Federal state or 10
cal, might be undertaken. The adoption
of such an amendment would leave Con-
gress and the states free to deal with the
alcohol traffic as conditions and public
opinion warrant.
This is Golfers answer to Senator
Borah's challenge to those who do nothing
but "denounce the law, decry its advocates
and embarTass those who would enforce
it."
Its own columns the preceding week
(June u, showed how it's proposal would
fail. It's writer on South Carolina explains
(page 81 that South Carolina has the
legislative rather than the executive form
of government, SO a governor can not do
much He is more an administrative than
executive officer. County Sheriff's are not
subject to his will Magistrates are ap-
pointed by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, which means that the
Senator from a county names the magis-
trateS for his county, or leaves their Sc
lection to popular vote in the primary. No
Legislature has ever made large appro-
priation for the governors law-enforcing
constables, a handful of officers who ac-
tually are subject to the chief executive"

restrictions that could be enacted against
the trafhc'S organized opposition. As Sem
ator Borah. in his mastery arraignment of
the evils of drink and of those who offer
nothing but censure of the law by which
the United States proposes To end them,
says Of these pictures:
For what purpose are these facts gath
ered2 Are they to be used to break
down the law and stop there2 Are they
to be used in support OF another pro-
gram? If So what is the program? Are
they in justification of the old days or
IN support of government ownership?
Is it to be assumed from these facts that
no violations of liquor laws ever took
place except under this law? The whole
question is: What are we going to do,
admitting all these things that are now
charged TO be true?
II, instead Of tie saloon system, you
consider government ownership and
control, we meet with the same ruthless
disregard of the law - There is
not an element Of disorder not a form
OF vice, not an incentive to crime, not n
crime charged under prohibition that is
not duplicated in any country and under
any system designed to control the liq-
uor traffic Long before the adop-
ton of the Eighteenth Amendment,
there were twelve murders in the city of
New York to one in London. There
were twenty robberi6s in Chicago for one
in all England and Wales combined.
We had better deal with the liquor
traffic as an outlaw than as something
legalized and to be controlled

NO WAR OVER I'm ALONE
LITERARY Digest, May IL, 1929

Newspapers are said to be virtually in
approval of the decision to arbitrate the
dispute between the United States and
Canada on the sinking of the vessel I'm
Alone. Much is said of the possibility
that Canada might abrogate the one
hour-sail treaty in regard to chasing rum
running vessels. The opinion of the Ca
madam Minister, Vincent Massey, that
the most essential elements of justif1ca-
ton under the doctrine of hot pursuit ap-
pear to be lacking" is contrasted with the
opinion of United States Secretary Of
State Stimson who says in justification of
the sinking:
The undisputed evidence is that the
master of the I'm Alone refused to stop,
although repeatedly warned and that
there was no way of boarding it while in
motion and that the Coast Guard Off
Gals had the choice of allowing it to
escape or sinking it. A significant fact
in the case is that the master OF the
I'm Alone preferred to be sunk rather
than be taken into court, where the
nature of its activities, its distance from
the coast, its Speed and the other fac
tors in the case would have been subject
to impartial judicial examination.

they did not think it necessary, should not
the modest laymen hesitate about dogma
tizing on it until the doctors have come
more nearly to an agreement?
The paroXySlns of indignation expressed
here, and by some other writer's, over an
assumed loss of life because of dearth of
alcohol proelaims either a prejudice which
prevents just treatment Of physicians VINO
get better results without alcohol than
with it, or ignorance of the existence of
such physicians and their evidence.
If the energy now spent in emotionalism
over prohibition were spent on the study
of the thing prohibited, there would be
fewer ugly epithets, less war paint and
more brotherly love and appreciation

WHY DRINK COCKTAILS WHEN
WINE Is PLENTY?

When the cocktail was banished from
America it came to Europe. The real
American cocktail, I mean-not its de-
generate successor, conCocted from syn
thetic mysteries in defiance of the law,
which still irrigates and poisons Ameri-
cans of the Prohibition Era. Over here
in Europe, the genuine American cock
tail of pre- prohibition days douriShes in
a glory brighter than ever before-So
much so indeed that it is causing acute
worry among the conservatives of
= France. .
One doctor, lecturing before che Paris
Academy OF Medicine the other day,
told his auditors of a great increase in
the consumption of alcohol among the
upper classes in France-due largely to
the vogue of lie cocktail. "A has lie
Cocktail" shout these champions of
yesterday against the inroads of today.
Nevertheless, a new american Bar"
seems to spring up everyday and the list
of american cocktails" lengthenS daily
II. r. YBARRI, Paris.
Why, if wine is the superior soul and
body satisfying beverage that its friends
and dealers-claim, should any one turn
TO stronger drinks? For precisely the
same reason that French wine drinkers
once graduated from wine to absinth be-
lore the country as war measure, pro-
aibited that destructive drink. The Paris
Academy condemned absinth, as it now
condemns the cocktail and there were not
lacking in that scientific body members
who could describe the gradations from
the weak wine stage to the strong ''liq-
leur" stage. As soon. as a drinller began
10 drink his red wine for its effect. its
kick" in American slang, he found he
could get the effect quicker with the
stronger white wine. Then ne must have
brandy to produce the desired effect, and
then the little glass, in addition to all the
others.
The French wine merchant is far from
solving in his own country the problem of
teaching people how to drink alcoholic
wine and be free from the desire for the
alcohol effect.

ROOSEVELT ON LAW

1.-THE worst possible lesson to teach any
citizen is contempt for law. No man
should take a public Office unless he is
willing to obey his oath and to enforce the
law
IF the poor man has right to break the
law on Sunday to get beer he has a right
to break the law on every day to get bread.
1t is a good deal more important to the
poor man that he should get fed on week
days than that he get drunk on Sundays.
1he people who try to teach him that he
has a right to break the law on one day
to get beer are doing their best to prepare
him for breaking the law some other day
to take bread THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
