BIG STRUGGLE LOOMS IN BEER AND WINE SALE Sterling Anti-Beer Bill Faces Hard Fight in Senate. DRY FORCES HOPEFUL Bpvciai to Indiana Daily Times Kad Philadelphia Public Ledger. lty ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. —Anew and Intense struggle over the sale of beer and trine In the United States appears in prospect as the aftermath of the publication of the long-awaited regulations governing the use of those beverages for medicinal purposes. Senate opposition to passage of the Sterling anti-beer bill has stiffened perceptibly. is every indication of a protracted filibuster if need be to forestall action on the legislation. The little group of Senators who have blocked every effort to pass the bill have been in conference to the end that anew mustering of forces might result in indefinite delay. Their purpose is to retain "for the sick and convalescent" the benefits of malt and vinuous tonics. MANUFACTURE ONCE BEGUN HARD TO STOP. Back of the announced purpose of the opposition is a belief that once the manufacture and Eale of beer and wine on any scale is sanctioned, the prohibition forces will have a real fight on their hands to banish them. Eager for some peg on which to hang a positive gain in reaction against the drastic nature of the Volstead act. the enemies of the Sterling bill are determined to allow the trwisury regulations for the sale of beer and wine on doctors' prescriptions to have a full chance. The promulgation of the beer and wine regulations had the effect of intensifying the demand of the dry forces for prompt passage of the Sterling bill. They let it be known they would insist on the legislation before any real strides had been made toward general use of beer and wine, even on prescription MANY PHYSICIANS HOLD PERMITS. There are 36.5.i9 physicians in the country holding permits to prescribe whisky, wines and beer, according to the records of Federal prohibition untis complete up

to July L In the State of New York alone, according to records complete up to Aug. 9, of this year, there are 5,284 physicians holding these permits. It is through these physicians, according to officials of the prohibition unit, that light wines and beer may be obtained under the ruling promulgated by Secretary Mellon. In the absence of R. H. Haynes, Federal prohibition commissioner, -subordinate officials decline to comment on the release of the regulations. They said no requests were received from breweries for permits to manufacture real beer. Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, said the ruling menas converting drug stores into “booze shops,” but added “the brewers have several hurdles yet to make before medical beer is a reality." “Most of the State laws prohibit It," he said, “others have limitations that make it impracticable. For instance, Minnesota allows only one pint in ten days; Michigan only eight ounces of liquor.” Among the States in which “it will be practicable to prescribe beer,” he named New Jersey end Pennsylvania. But the brewers, he predicted, “will have trouble in getting permits, owing to their past records. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Edison Fears Complexity May Bring World Collapse

BY ALLAN H. BENSON. ORANGE, N. J., Oct. 26.—1 none form or another the thought is coming to men all over the world that this civilization may be about to collapse. 1 heard the thought rumbling in Thomas A. Edison's mind when I talked to him in his laboratory and at first did not know what it was. We had been talking about a number of things. Pretty soon his brow wrinkled, his face assumed an aspect almost of pain and he explained: "Everything is becoming so complex—so complex.” Then it occurred to me that he had made the same exclamation once or twice before during the same conversation. In a few minutes he made it again and 1 tegar to take notice and call for particulars. LIFE BECOMING TOO MIXED UP. “Oh,” he said, “life is becoming so intricate, so involved, so mixed up, that it is difficult to tell what will happen as the result of any act. The Government, finance and industry are daily becoming more mixed in a maze tfiat human ingenuity seems Incapable of untangling. Those fellows down at Washington pass laws without any more knowledge of what effects they will produce than they might have if they were children. They pass a law to do one thing and it does the reverse. They press a button here ! and a totally unexpected explosion happens there. This is so because the whole fabric of our civilization is becoming so intricate that nobody can follow its de- : signs. “I began to notice this many years ago j when a Legislature out West passed a ■ law giving a bounty for the killing of coyotes, only to discover a few years later that in the absence of coyotes, jackrabbits were multiplying so rapidly that the law hud to be repealed and a bounty offered for the killing of rabbits. And, forty years ago, Herbert Spencer wrote some wonderfully illuminating chapters on the complexity of civilization In his day. Spencer took up thirty-four laws enacted by the British Parliament for the relief of the poor and demonstrated that thirty-two of these laws actually harmed the poor. Oh, but Spencer was a great man. He had the finest brain that England ever produced. “But the complexity of civilization In Spencer’s day was as nothing compared with what it is now. The curve of

complexity is rising rapidly whereas our ability to cope with the problems of complexity is increasing only very slowly.’ Then Edison uttered the sentence that shows the fear that shadows his mind. FEARS RESULTS FIFTY YEARS HENCE. “I don’t know what will happen to us in fifty years,” said he, “if this thing keeps on.” Edison apparently believes we could pull our way out if we would,, but he seems not optimistic over the prospect that we will. A card on a wall in his laboratory tells the story of his doubts. It is a sentence from the writings of Sir Joshua Reynolds, reading: “There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.” “Reynolds was right,” said Edison. “Thinking is the hardest thing in the world for those who have not formed the habit. After one has formed the habit it Is not so hard. THINKING IS MERELY A HABIT. “In business affairs, the tendency is to escape thinking. In the board of directors in a great corporation, the man with the gllbest tongue is likely to swing the rest simply because they do not want to take the trouble to think out problems for themselves.” It is a strange thing that really great men never seem to think that the things they do are great. Edison says it is not so hard to think when one has formed the habit. Edison told of a problem brought to him by a concern of international reputation. He saw the cause of the difficulty that troubled them. “I saw tt as plain as day,” he said, “and tried my best to make them see it, but I don’t believe they saw it.” The talk lead to autocrats. Edison said: “An autocrat is the best kind of a man to run an industry or a Governmentprovided be is a good autocrat. But there Is Just about as much chance to find a good autocrat when you are looking for one, as there is a chance that lightning will strike you. That is why onr form of government, slow as it is, is the best. A good autocrat would give us better government, but It probably would be a long while between good autocrats." —Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.

RALSTON ASKS FOR NEGRO VOTE Negro voters were advised to fall in line with a great many white Republicans who, he said, are going to vote for him, by Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee for mayor, in speeches last evening. Since negroes work for Democrats, there is no reason why they should not vote for Democrats, the candidate declared. His pledges of a clenn, economical administration were renewed and charges which he said his enemies have made were denied. His efforts to organize a plan of financing the installation of sanitary equipment required by the antiopen vault ordinance, were pointed out as an example of the kind of service he hopes to "shower” upon the people for four years. Denying that he is a rent profiteer, Mr. Ralston said he happens to be in the real estate business and merely acts as the rental agent of property owners and that if rents are raised it is because the owners direct it. He said there is likely to be further increase in rents. He described what be termed attempts to Incite race prejudice on the part of his rivals and denied that Sam Perrott will be appointed chief of police if the Democrats win.
