sis it not high time that honest
minded prohibitionists took stock
trusted their senses-admitted that
the issue had not been closed by
the eighteenth amendment? What
do they seek? Temperance, let us
hope-not merely a statute.
'Intemperance and crime are
inundating us in spite of the statute.
Are they willing to let the food
rise? Was there ever a time in this
country's long struggle for tenn
perance when there was a better
chance for union Of all people
seriously interested in regulating the
liquor traffic and educating men
and women to control of appetite?
There is a practically unanimous
agreement at certain points The
saloon must not return. Hard liquor
as a beverage should go.
Repeal Must Come
'The criminal factory, which the
laWless traffic Gnevitable under pro-
hibition) has set up, must be razed.
Obviously this means the repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment, though
not until a practical substitute has
been made ready to slip into its
place.
will the prohibitionist help in
this work? Today he stands, before
a large and growing public opinion,
where brewers and saloons stood
twenty years ago. He is regarded
as in the way of temperance.
He has his chance now as they
did then. Unless he takes heed, it
will be swept out of his reach He
will find himself with the amend
ment repealed, no substitute ready,
