Not Yet Civilized

When one contemplates the great advances in science and mechanics which have been made in the last half century or so 1t appears that mans achievements have been some thing little short of marvellous. But if we could but look into the future, it is probable that we should realize that our pres ent knowledge and utilization of the forces of nature are only crude beginnings.
 This thought is forcefully ex- pressed by Dr. R. A. Millikan, one of the worlds greatest physicists, who recently said: Mankind is now just an in- fant a few months old at most, who up until but a minute ago has been lying in his crib shak- ing his rattle"
 Even conceding that great advancement has been made in a material way, whereby the more enlightened peoples have facilities and comforts not dreamed of by our ancestors, we are still sadly deficient in the moral qualities which must be developed if this old world is to become a satisfact- ory place of abode.
 Although there is more of charity and altruism displayed than ever before, human nat ure has not changed greatly through all t h centuries. Crime, greed, intolerance, hate and cruelty are in evidence on every hand, even among the most civilized of peoples. A million laws and an army of peace officers fail to make ei- ther life or property safe.
 Unless a mans opinions and beliefs conform to those of the majority he must suppress their utterance or be pro- scribed. Freedom of consci- ence, even in this land of SUD- posed freedom, is only a pre- tense. Only those who are if nancially independent can af- ford to be entirely frank in ex- precision. People are no longer burnt at the stake for their opinions, but they are perse- cuted in other ways.
 We have gone a little way to- ward civilization, but we are not yet civilized.

drys would be put upon that State TO
vote for repeal.
For instance, Kansas is a reasonably
dry State. 1t will probably retain some
form Of State prohibition after national
prohibition has been abandoned. But
it is unthinkable that Kansas would
stand out as the thirteenth State after
35 States had overwhelmingly voted
to repeal the eighteenth amend
ment. The patriotism of Kansas could
be depended upon to stand for majority
rule, if decisive majority in the other
States had declared against prohibition.
Belief in Majority Rule.
For these middle class business men
and women to whom national prohibi-
tion appealed as an economic issue are
American. They believe in their coun-
try. They believe in majority rule.
They realize what tyranny they would
be establishing if they refused to
liberate their fellow Americans who
were overwhelmingly convinced against
prohibition.
These prohibitionists would un-
doubtedly vote as Americans and not
as prohibitionists. There need be no
fear that if the present overwhelming
drift away from prohibition is continued
in majority of the States, prohibition
could stick upon technically.

BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.

LONDON, (By MaiD Returns from
the State elections where prohibition
has been submitted to a referendum
, indicate an overwhelming majority in
favor of repeal of the eighteenth
amendment
The friends of the amendment in
| these elections do not attempt to eX-
plain away or to discount the obvious
meaning of the returns, which indi-
| cate that in these particular States
public opinion definitely has rejected
the principle of prohibition OF the
liquor traffic.
Year May Change Opinion.
It is of course possible that under
new conditions which may arise within
the next wear, when other States shall
vote on the question another view OF
the matter may reveal itself in the
ballot box The States that have voted
so far for the most part have been
industrial or semi-industrial
Friends of prohibition may feel that
when elections are held in the South
and In more of the corn-belt States
another opinion may be expressed. Be
that as it may, certain presumption
Is warranted that the opinions thus re-
vealed in States widely separated in
dicate fairly the American view about
repeal.
Yet it is not impossible, though un-
likely, that 13 States might stand by
prohibition and thus leave the country
in chaos so far as regulation and con-
troll of the liquor traffic are concerned.
For so long as the amendment stands
the States will have no right to take
over system of license, regulation or
State distribution. Public opinion in g.
majority of the States, though not a
constitutional majority would make
enforcement of the eighteenth amend
Eent impossible.
Against Bootlegger Rule.
Moreover, In Congress, If a majority

States Overwhelmingly declare for the
repeal Of the eighteenth amendment.
Federal enforcement would be aban-

criminal train would be established by
public opinion as an extra constitu-
tional purveyor of hard liquor. He
would be untaxed, uncontrolled and
would for his own defense have to set
up his own laws and enforcement OF
his own laws, a government inside
government. It is unthinkable this
condition should prevail.
Moreover, this status would be as
odious to the advocates of prohibition
as to the enemies of the eighteenth
amendment OF course, certain fanati-

ton. But, after all, We must not for
get that prohibition was not established
by the fanatical drys, nor will 1t be
overthrown by fanatical vets.
Regarded Economic Issue.
Prohibition nationally came gradual
ly after rs years of experiment with
local control. and came only after it
had the support and Endorsement of
business men, industrialists and small
merchants. They looked upon prohibi-
ton as an economic issue and not as
moral issue. Their idea in support
ing and establishing total national pro-
hibition was that it would put more
money in the banks and turn the
money wasted in liquor into the cof-
fers OF the merchants, and hence away
from the economic waste which had
arisen as a result of the overstimulated
sale of a habit-forming drug.
These business men of varying ranks,
good Americans and never fanatical,
made the prohibition majority in the
various cities and States which excluded
the saloon before 1920. They were not
OF the left wing. They were not ex-
cited by the preachers. They were not
converted by emotional religious cam
paigns. They supported prohibition,
rather casually, as one of the many
issues then before the people. They
have sustained it casually, hoping for
better returns
