Wet or Dry? By James C. Kelly The nation is passing through a world crisis. Every nerve is strained as we steer clear of the European whirlpool of war. Party lines fade as we unite to face the situation which confronts us. All is quiet confidence save for the garrulous cry of the prohibitionist, “Wet or dry?” : V. ;> ty .y.yy p; y-; [p;■ . ■ This is a time for strong men. Before the world is again at peace the nation will demand both patriotism and statesman* ship. And yet we find prohibition haggling over the question, “Wet or dry?” Every senator, every representative, and, in fact, every member of the national government finds himself annoyed in this critical hour by the prohibition demagogues. Neither patriotism nor danger stills their cry, “Wet or dry?” The nation’s chief executive is not immune. Prohibition announces with a flourish that in July it will send an army of 5,000 to demand of the President that he support its vicious propaganda. This demand, like previous demands, will undoubtedly carry with it a threat of implied political punishment. Prohibition knows nothing as sacred as itself. Patriotism and justice it regards as secondary. It would gladly intrust the destiny of America to the most irresponsible demagogue, provided only that demagogue is “dry”. It would, with equal satisfaction, defeat a truly great statesman if he entertained opinions contrary to the prohibition creed. —Adv.
