came under my notice in New

what he would do and what he
would not do. There was dead
lock. Somebody had to give in or
something would break with a
loud noise.
At this juncture the lawyer for
the brokerage firm called on the
banker. There was q short, spir-
tied discussion, at the end of
which the lawyer pounded his fist
on the bankers desk and said:
"You have those papers signed
and in my office by 10 o'clock to-

LAW ALONE CAN'T CURE OUR
LIQUOR EVILS
(BY BRUCE CATION

Back about Is years ago the people OF
the United States got fed up with the IN
sOlent greed of the liquor traffic and de-
cided to fix things by passing law-the
18th amendment.
In the succeeding decade they learned
to their panied surprise, that passing a
law was not, in itself, quite enough.
Now, just as if they hadn't learned the
lesson once, they seem to be studying it all
over again.
Just as they got fet up with the legal
liquor traffic before 1920, they got fed up
with the illegal one before 1888. So they
tried the same old remedy; they passed a
law.
Oddly enough, they're finding out ex-
actly what they found out once before.
The prohibition amendment failed to solve
the liquor problem; repeal likewise is fail
ing to solve it.
In each case, the primary difficulty
seems to be that old assumption that the
battle is won once you get the right KIND
of law on the statute books.
Senator Borah leveled terrific lndlct-
ment against liquor conditions under re-
peal, in his speech on the Senate floor the
other day. But no citizen who goes places
and keeps his eyes and ears open peea
have been surprised by what Senator Borah
said. .....
The facts are notorious. Bootleggrng mas
not been wiped out, sales to minors have
not ceased, the pledge to keep the old-time
saloon from returning has not been kept
When the final states were ratltylng re-
peal of the amendment, it was common
wisecrack to say that repeal is good
law if they can just enforce it,
Just why that should have been taken
as a wisecrack is not quite clear; our eH-
perience with the amendment itself ought
to have shown us that it was nothing less
than plain statement of an obvious truth.
So far, our effort to enforce upon the
liquor trade the kind of standards we
talked about when repeal was pending is
hardly visible to the naked eye. Until such
effort is made in an honest and energetic
manner, we have no right to be surprised
by the abuses which have developed under
repeal.
We ought to know by this time that
passing law is only a first step in any
reform.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1934-05-09

started to leave, the lawyer ad-
monished:
"And you'll send those papers
over, too. I'm not coming for
them" 49,.
When the lawyer reached the
door, the banker spoke smilingly:
IF that is the way you feel
about it, we'll have those papers
in your office this afternoon. "
The banker had yielded because
he saw that it was policy to do so.
He had plenty of resources. He
could have fought indefinitely.
But he was not in business just
to fight. He was here to make
money.
That is one difference between
the big man and the two-for-a-
nickel man. One is governed by
judgment and the other by tenn
per. The big man does what he
thinks is sensible; when he sees
that all the odds are against him
and there is nothing to be gained
and everything to be lost by pur-
suing a certain policy, he changes
his policy. That is how he gets to
be a big man. Whereas, the man
who is aggressive without much
brains will refuse to yield an
inch. He will fight until he has
lost everything he possesses; and
then he may finish off by going
after his opponent with a gun
and getting hanged for it.
When it comes to a matter OF
conflict, one, should decide what
one is trying to get at. If one
wants to fight just for fighting's
sake, then go to it blindly. But
if one is trying to get ahead in
the world, one should fight intel
ligently.
