As between prohibition anti the auciont corruptions of the saloon, tho American people had no hesitancy They might not be convinced of tho virtues of prohibition, but they thoroughly knew the viciousness of the barroom. When the fight was over, the light wine and beer cause was nothing more than a dead cat with the saloon for a brick around its neck. The issue, however, will be revived. The brewers have learned wisdom. They will not try to restore the saloon a$ their next attempt. What they 0114 the wine men now hope for is the repeal, not of the 18th amendment the mechanism of repeat is so cumbrous as to eliminate that hope f but of the Volstead law ot 1 per cent limit. Then the law would simply forbid the sale of intoxicating beverages, and the determination of what constitution an intoxicating beverage would rest, in so far aa sale is concerned, where it now rests as regards home manufacture of wine, upon the actual fact as proysble in court instead of upon aa arbitrary alcoholic content. Under this system there could be bui.t up a homo distribution system, carefully restricted, and perhaps eventually sales in bona fide restaurants operating under high license. There would be no loophole here for tbe legalizing of staong liquors, as the present definition of wine includes nothing above 12 por cent a eoh-l- . The argument of the wets for the change I give for what it is wortn. A That the country is already ou a light wine and beer basis, large iy without the law," and that which cannot be altered would better Informally legitimised. B That eau not be bootlegging stopped while it affords the piomnt enormous profits; that the cure live in supplying the average man with w ill which light alcoholic drinks satisfy him and wean him away frwii the stronger, thereby killing the bootleg market. While this wool of probably cut down tho volume bootlegging, I do not believe that it would wipe it out since a large p- r the want euntage of Americans kick" and quick results of h: .J liquor and there will always be certain demand for it at any pri-- e. C That tho nation has, under the present system, developed a siprit of disrespect of the law which is it n archistie and perilous to our sfcai and institutions, and. that, foi the moral atatus of the community a law which the most eminent citien do not even pretend to obey, wou 1 better be repealed. J D That the eountry under tb itself of present system deprives beverage taxes which are sorely need ed by the treasury; that the , legal izing of beer, under high tax, woubl bring in yearly from $600,000,000 to a possible $1,000,000,000, and of of wine, from $60,000,000 to As the beer ant $1 0,000500 more. wine are being consumed anyway, they ask, why not make them pay their way. It is by no means impossible that one-hal- e this Iqtter consideration may eventually bo tho determinant factor in a national question whichfbecomesiuoie insistent with every passing year.
