JOHN S EPITAPH
The presidential campaign
this year will write the epi
taph on John Barleycorn's
tombstone, asserts The Farm
Journal. A few misguided
enthusiasts still think the
old sot is not dead, but the
platforms of the great polit
ical parties will settle the
matter this fall. The form
er liquor interests and a few
of their personal friends are
trying to get one or both
parties to champion “person-!
al liberty”, by which they
mean license to make men
beasts. But the political
parties know better than to i
attempt such things in the j
face of the showing made by j
the prohibition forces as to i
the wholesome effect result-!
ing from the decreased sale!
of intoxicants since the first j
of July last year. I
By way of argument the
editor of the Journal shows
that during the last half of
last year, as compared with
the last six months of the!
preceeding year, the number!
of arrests for drunkenness
in Philadelphia, decreased
sixty-two per cent. But
that is not the whole story,
he says. Arrests for other
offenses decreased twenty
seven per cent The normal
population of the Philadel
phia House of correction be
fore prohibition was about
1,900. On March 9, 1920, |
there were 489 inmates. The:
alcoholic ward of the Phila-i
delphia General hospital is
credited with the treatment
of 1,184 cases during the
last half of 1918, and only!
276 cases came in during:
the first six months under!
prohibition. The hobo pop-!
ulation of the city is said toj
have almost disappeared.
Where from 900 to 1,000j
hobo residents used to makej
their appearance regularly j
in the old days for their free
Sunday breakfast of coffee:
and doughnuts, a bare 200
show up now. A Philadel
phia banker is quoted as
saying that much of the
money formerly SDent for
whiskey is now providing
better home conditions.
Under such condition, the
Journal’s editor concludes,
any political party that at
tempts to bring back the dis
graceful conditions existing
before prohibition would be
inviting disaster.
ANTI-TOBACCO
A special article in the;
Sunday edition of the New
York Wolrd dealt with the
preparations which are un-l
der way for a Nation-wide
campaign againt tobacco—j
a campaign,comments the!
editor of the World, to be
marked by just such process-;
es in politics and “pussyfoot-;
ing” as led to the “putting
over” of prohibition. The1
warning to lovers and grow-:
ers of the weed is plain and
early. If these are caught;
napping it will be through i
the same weaknesses of in- j
credulity and mass neglect!
which made way for the j
Eighteenth amendment.
No one can doubt that if!
the issue had rested in a1
mere question of numbers!
for and against, prohibition ;
would have been defeated;
summarily. The same thing
is even more clearly true in
the case of anti-tobacco. But
no majority is safe which is
also slothful. Sanity cannot
afford to sleep while fanati
cism works. The man who
wants to save his after-din
ner cigar cannot do it by
smoke alone.
Recent local events, the
arraigning in magistrates'
courts of men who have vi
olated ordinances and the
rules of decency by smok
ing in the subway, suggest
one means of meeting the
objections of the no-tobacco
forces. It is measurably
true that lawless saloonkeep
ers and bartenders brought;
prohibition down on their j
own heads. It may quite as!
easily and comprehensibly j
be the case that smokers
who consider neither time,
place nor the reasonable
comfort of other people are .
lending strength directly to
the movement for the ban-,
ning of tobacco.
R. A. Darling, special a
gent in charge, department;
of justice, bureau of investi-,
gation, came down from his |
Fairbanks headquarters to-j
day on business connected,
with his office.
The funeral of Tom Mon-j
roe, Fairbanks blacksmith j
who died this week, was held,
this afternoon in the uper
town under the auspices of
the Pioneers.
