by fj:mt ir. ciifkhington. It is likelv that many who are renklnr: in favor of amending the VolMtad Code so as to restore beer and wino do not fully realize whit the restoration to a leal siatus of these alcoholic Ieveraf:ts mans. They have not stoppt d to think beyond the point that they wer.ld like to have the privilege rf again buying a glass of v.lnc or a bottle of beer when they o desire. The face is that the permission to manufacture and Mil beer and vvine? under the Flgrhteenth amendment means greater privileges tc tR brewer nnd wine-maker and to the retailor of these bevrravs than they enjoyed under the license davs. This !s true because under the terms of the Eighteenth amendment, if the" beverages nro permitted, they will be cladaed as non-intoxicants. As r.on-intoxirants they can 1c sold without restriction In those state where they are not rpeclflcal'y barred by state prohibit ion law. There r.eod le no restrictions pltee-d upon these Leverages that are not placed npon other non-intoxica nts such as pop and soda-watt r. It is inconceivable that t'cn the average beer drinker would want a condition to prevail where thibfren would be Prmitted to pui chase wine and li'M-r without hindrance. It is doubtful if the average beer drinker would want a condition to

prevail where beer nnd wine would be hold indiscriminately, regardless of time or place. None but the hope, lese inobri.ite would rieTi-nd his booze regardless of whether childhood i:i to be protected or net. The average drinking man, surely when he reallTs that the restoration of beer and wine means th-.' possibility of the opening of a beet garden next door to his home and tho certainty of the promiscuous sale of brer and wine to all comer?, including children, will not Insist upon his drinks under these terms. If there Is a man in your town asking for the beer and wine amendment, explain to him that such an amendment to the Volstead Cod? wemld mean promiscuous and indiscriminate sales of those intoxicants. Vr.der license saloon? wcro regulated at least to a certain extnt. Regulation, it is true, prov d a dismal failure. And yet under license liquor selling etablif. hments were limited. These were known fs saloons and became such breeding places of crime that even the wet leaders tUhting tho Eighteenth amendment, vociferously declare that they are unalterably opposed to the- return of the saloon." These liquor-selling establishments Urown as saloons v. ere th-j rende.-.vons of crooks and ccrrupi politicians and the haven of derelicts. They were the greatest men

ace to cood gcv ernr.ien. that c!iv had to contend with.

At kast seventieths rf th.se

o'.or-seiJing e.stabh-hm. nl known ;.s falcons were either own. I or (ontrolled directly or lndireetly bv th.brewers. Now these br vers are' loud in their protestations that they do not wish the return of the saloon. In fact, they say the saloon never will return, that it is a thing of tho pat. r.one forever. And yet what are th?y asking when they ask. fcr the restoration of beer and light wines? Under the Eighteenth amendment if the manufacture and .sale of beer and wine is again permitted, these liqu- r-s. llir.g establishments will be multiplied a hundredfold. They may net he known as saloons but anyone who f-f-s fit may deal in thes- alcoholic l everages known n beer and wino and this means u multiplicity of Mich sale places. Cities and villages In tho-o states where no Mate prohibition law would protect thorn, which though dry in Ilcme days, will be overrun with these beer-s.-ü. ing establishments. In the palmiest days of license the per capita consumption of liquor in the United states reached 22 gallons. All but about a gallon and a half of this hquor was malt liquor beer. In asking for the restoration of beer and vino the liquor interests are asking- for the restoration of about 95 per cent of the liquor traffic. They arc ark ins for the return of 93 per cent of the beozc that made the saloons what they wore, so bad that they are even receiving tho condemnation of their former owners. Do you want any of this stuff to be distributed in your town as a non-intoxicant? If you don't get

Prohibition! What Dors That Party Really Want? Prohibition has be n in en'ect in the United States f.q- more than s:v. months. prr-"umably. T) o prohibition amendment l.ecam.e a part r the constitution of the United states e n Jan. 1 1 . last. The prohibition party, organize'.! to outlaw tooze. holds a rational c-e-nvention six months after n object has been attained apparently and the delegates, gravely discuss tho relative '"dryness" of rrospeot:vo nominees for the pre sidency. A bunch cf eld maids plaving j,-. would look dicnifie.l in comparison. Next probably is ill be organization of an anti-slavery ticke; ami a colonial party to procure the independence of the u; colonies from England so that there may 1. ,. taxation v itlm-it representation.

Jlere's tho delegation from Colorado carrying a plank to the convention calling for prohibition of the manufacture and sale of tobaexro products, insisting that it be included in the platform. But that, of course, is reithcr significant or important and we apologize for having called attention to it.
