a very serious question, and one
that must be reckoned with in
the near future. Just as men
tioned above—the small city is
not dying, it is committing sui
cide inch by inch. Instead of
casting this idea off like so
many snow flakes, it is time, and
right now when every individual
should give the matter serious
thought. Otherwise there’ll be
more vacant stores in the city
than we regret to report today.—

OUR DEAR, MISS
EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT
By James R. Little
——x- '
Miss Eighteenth Amendment
has admittedly rid our country
of saloons, but is the speakeasy
a distinct improvement? The es
tablishments which have sup
planted the frankly rowdy dis
pensaries of the past recognize
no double standard, but cater
to their patrons regardless of
sex or age.
Would not regulatory mea
sures, barring both the open
saloon and the speakeasy b.Q
preferable to either system?
Regardless to your reaction to
that question, dear Women of
the W. C .T. U., it is well to re
member that George Washing
ton and a few other gentlemen
of his time conceived the very
radical idea that the will of the
people was an acceptable criter
ion in setting the helm of the
ship of state.
Time and again the wishes of
the majority have changed and
laws have been amended or re -
pealed in consequence. Special
interests which have attempted
to stem the tide of public opin
ion, or at least prevent an ex
pression of such opinion, have
in the main, and rightfully, been
forced to submit to the wishes
of the majority. That is the
principle upon which our nation
was built.
If prohibition, operating
through the Eighteenth Amend
ment, is the success which some
optimists claim, then why should
they fear an opportunity for
public endorsement of it? The
W. C. T. U., is unalterably oppos
ed to resubmission of the prohi
bition question. It is human na
ture, I presume, to try to hold
the upper hand regardless of
“hell and highwater,” but at the
same time I would hesitate to
play poker with the estimable
ladies comprising that large or
ganization. After winning a few
chips they’d quit the game. Fish!
Fish! Such sportsmanship!
