Who will Solve It? . - I' ■ : ■ ■ By James C. Kelly Americans have been treating the liquor question in the same way that the gentleman treated his watch when he sent it to a blacksmith instead of a watch-maker for repairs. In other words, we have been leaving a deep and important problem to an organization of individuals who know little or nothing about it. Take the so-called saloon problem for example. We have been content to let the prohibitionist wrestle with that and he has been wrestling with it for almost a century, and yet we all know that few prohibitionists have ever been inside a saloon. How is a man who never saw a saloon except from the outside going to solve the saloon problem? Now I am quite aware that these same prohibition gentlemen will endeavor to put over a lot of comedy about the foregoing assertions. Go to it, gentlemen. lam not addressing the class to which your stuff appeals. When I want information about the liquor problem or the saloon problem, I go to the liquor business and the saloon as well as to those on the other side who would destroy the liquor trade. That is just common justice and common sense. The brewer and the retail liquor dealer may have some valuable suggestions also, for a big majority of those engaged directly in the trade are very familiar with those mistakes which have harmed their business and which have at the same time created some nice fat jobs for the “dry” agitators. As to the value of suggestions coming from the liquor men, they are just as likely to be free from prejudice as those from the rabid prohibitionist. And when it comes to sincerity, the public will be as likely to look to the liquor industry, which knows that its salvation depends upon a satisfactory solution of the liquor problem, as it will to depend upon those oratorical gendemen who know that when the liquor problem is solved, they will lose their jobs. Like most other questions, the liquor problem has two sides. It is not going to be settled until the people hear all the evidence. —Adv.
