Realities
Claude G.. BOWers

big profits were the rule.
These were the flush days
and no one worried much
about his taxes.
How different today, with
our enormous deficit in the
Treasury and a tax bill that
places the greatest burden
on all the people ever laid
in the darkest days of war.
And now with men thinking
of their taxes, they are
awakening to the fact that
the most profitable industry
in the land pays no taxes at
all; that from this industry,
immune from taxation here,
other nations raise a large
portion of their revenue
that if we followed the ex-
ample of the other nations
the rest Of us would not be
staggering under a tax load
that is about all that we can
bear.
The industrialists, the rich,
who have been financing
pro h i b Cion organization,
have suddenly seen a new
light.

Crime Defies Government
And Imperils It

But Mr.. Rockefeller S let
ter taking his stand with the
repealists is of more than
casual interest because he
has been a warm supporter
of prohibition and has been a
liberal contributor to the
Anti-Saloon League. It ap-
pears that he has acted in
accord with the traditional
feeling of his family. But,
aside from Mr.. Rockefeller,
there is no doubt but that
great industrialists have been
the backbone of the prohibi-
ton movement in the recent
past. Their motive was not
moral or altruistic. They
felt that it would mean more
work from their employees
for the same money if they
could be deprived of their
weekend entertainment.
1t is not pleasing to add
that these industrialists had
no intention of depriving
themselves. The workers
were to be deprived of their
beer; but the wealthy were
to continue with their Scotch
and wine. Everyone knows
that to be true.
But no one realized that
prohibition would become
the most prolific source of
crime we have ever known.
1t does not just happen that
the petty pickpockets have
disappeared from the streets;
that the house breaker is
now a. novelty.
The opportunities of pro-
hibition invited the criminal
class to richer fields. Where
thousands of dollars were the
rewards of the criminals be-
fore, millions were offered.
The bootleggers, the hi
jackers had to mobilize for
their work. Crime became
an organized industry. 1t is
the most highly organized
and the most powerfully
financed industry in the
country today; and it moves
in the dark with guns. 1t
defies government-and i'm
perils it.

I am going to make my own

Then, casually, someone told
me that there was a noble

The idea excited me. I Won

a glorious name! How splen-

How dreadful to call this

Victory! Perhaps it had
been victorious once, but it

There was no head-only a

DEPRE ESE n r ATIVE
IN OLIVER of New York.

u L II u . u ~ L ALIVE
IL OLIVER of New York,
once said in sentence just
about all that John D.
Rockefeller, jr., says in his
letter favoring the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, when he said:
Prohibition is the child
of the church. But the
church turned it over to the
Government to bring it up,
and it has brought it up as
a bandit. "
For many years fine men
and women, ardent enemies
of drink, consecrated them
selves to the cause of tenn
perance. These, with few
exceptions, meant temper
ance and not prohibition.
Under the emotional stress
of the war, others saw an
opportunity to put through
the most drastic experiment
this nation has ever tried.
The Eighteenth Amend
ment was forced through;
and under the hysteria,
State after State ratified in
notorious contradiction OF
the sentiment of its people.
1t was literally a crime
against government for New
York State to ratify-for
the Republican legislature
that acted knew absolutely
that the sentiment in that
State was overwhelmingly
against it.
The result we know. And
this result was known to
be inevitable by everyone
familiar with history and
the reactions of men to un-
popular laws. No law that
is bitterly opposed by as
much as thirty-three per
cent of the people can, or
will be-, enforced. To at
tempt to enforce it is to
destroy the unity of a
people.

ONCE-OVERS
Be a Real Fellow

Old Man, it seems like a
good joke to you to blame your
late arrival at home one some
member of the crowd who is
known to your wife.
Usually there is one man in
a crowd who is the goat" Sc
to speak, when, it comes to max
ing excuses.
Naturally he gets undeserVed
and undesirable reputation with
the wives of these lying hus-
bands, for most women believe
their own mans word.
These women are not at all
backward about expressing dis
approval.
They talk about it among
themselves the tales are carried
to the mans employer who be-
lieves what he hears.
It started in a joke, perhaps
not one word of truth in the
story.
But the women are gullible,
and even if they are not at all
inclined to believe all the Sto-
ries their husbands tell. Suffi-
cient number credit the stories
to make it hard for man to
''live it down."
It is surprising that modern
women can be so easily de-
ceived.

Train Takers

One of the most annoying
of bores is the man who in
sists upon carrying on a con-
versation with fellow passengers
in railroad or bus travel.
Some folk plan to do some
thinking or worthwhile reading
during a long train trip.
But a gabby seat-mate some
times makes connected thought
impossible.
The idle fellow with over
anxiety for conversation has
little on his mind and there
fore his talking has nothing in
structive, interesting or en-
tightening to recommend it.
It is surprising how persis-
tent such a fellow becomes in
his efforts to engage in conver-
sation, in spite of rebuffs.
There are times when nearly
all men welcome an opportunity
to speak to someone who sits
near, when a bit of relaxation
is reeded.
But such cases are infrequent.
Most people who travel de-
sire to- be let alone, en- route
and do not care to chat with
"pick-upS."
The persistent talker on a
train is not favorably received.
1t is a bad habit to cultivate.

prob b Cion organization,
have suddenly seen a new
light.
Mr.. Rockefeller
Tells Why
We do not ascribe Mr..
Rockefeller's conversion to
repeal to this motive. He
sets forth his expectations
from the Eighteenth Amend
ment, and his disappoint-
ment:
Drinking generally has
increased; the speakeasy has
replaced the saloon, not only
unit for unit, but pre- baby
twofold, if not threefold;
a vast army of lawbreakers
has been recruited and fl
nanced on a colossal scale;
many of our best citizens,
piqued at what they re-
garded as an infringement
of their private rights, have
openly and unabashed dis
regarded the Eighteenth
Amendment; and as an in
evitable result respect for all
law has been greatly less
ened; crime has increased
to an unprecedented de-
gree"
To this conclusion he ad-
mits he has come " "slowly
and reluctantly"
And yet it is a conclu-
sion no one with courage to
face realities can escape.
The same conclusion was
drawn by Representative
Oliver of New York, two or
three years ago in the
House, in more humorous
vein:
THE Government has
succeeded in driving liquor
all the way from the bar to
the bOudOir: from the saloon
to the salon; from hops to
hips; from the keg to the
kitchen; from the loud
speaker to the speakeasy,"
Millions of People
In Abject Misery
Morally, we have degener-
ated under this experiment
with the impossible. Women
and children who never
thought of drink before,
must have their liquor now
and get it. Just what the
effect will be on the oncom-
ing generation we can only
guess. We now know some
thing Of the effect on the
attitude of millions toward
our political institutions and
orr Constitution.
1t is not a happy omen
when most of the tourists
passing the Statue of Lib
erty in the harbor of New
York are constrained to
sneer and jeer, or joke. Be-
cause prohibition is written
into the Constitution. mil
Ions, knowing little of the
general character of that
document, look upon it with
contempt or with anger as
an enemy.
And when these millions
are told that under our con-
stitutional forms an insig-
nificant minority of the
people in a minority of the
States can prevent the re-
peal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, it is impossible
to convince them that we
have a democracy, or a
government of the people,
by the people, ard for the
people.
And when they reflect
upon the notorious corrup-
tion in the enforcement
service, they are appalled, at
the hypocrisy and dishonesty
in government.
