OUR DEAR, MISS
 EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT
 By James R. Little

Miss Eighteenth Amendment has admittedly rid our country of saloons, but is the speakeasy q distinct improvement? The es- tablishments which have SUD- planted the frankly rowdy dis pensaries of the past recognize no double standard, but cater to their patrons regardless of sex or age.
 Would not regulatory mea- Sures, barring both the open saloon and the speakeasy ba preferable to either system?
 Regardless to your reaction to that question, dear Women of the w. c T. U., it is well to re- member that George Washing ton and a few other gentlemen of his time conceived the very radical idea that the will of the people was an acceptable criter- ion in setting the helm of the ship of state.
 Time and again the wishes of the: majority have changed and laws have been amended or re- pealed in consequence. Special interests which have attempted to stem the tide of public opin- ion, or at least prevent an ex- pression of such opinion, have in the main, and rightfully, been forced to submit to the wishes of the majority. That is the principle upon which our nation was built.
 If prohibition, opera tin through the Eighteenth Amend ment, is the success which some optimists claim, then why should they fear an opportunity for public endorsement of it? The w. c. T. U., is unalterably oppos- ed to resubmission of the prohi- bition question. It is human na- ture, I presume, to try to hold the upper hand regardless Of "hell and highwater," but at the same time I would hesitate to play poker with the estimable ladies comprising that large or gar1ization. After winning a few chips they'd quit the game. Fish! Fish! Such sportsmanship!
