An eminent divine,, addressing himself to an East
U. S. newspaper, propounds the queiy. -
IiC v> j Jr A 'ii
that apparently a majority ofjhe newspapei-s arejithei
outspokenly opposed to the Eighteenth amendment, or
lukewarm in their approval ? ^ ,
The answer is simple. Every newspaperman know,
his public if he is successful in his calling, this know
ledge is gained by close personal contact. Theie oie ie
is in a better position to unearth a tact than the parti
sans in a given controversy. His newspaper must catei
to the mass opinion if it wTould exist without a subsidy .
He does not print everything he knows simply because
to do so wrould bring into bold relief many angles and
ramifications of the liquor question, including person
alities. Among the facts he has discovered is that every
man who wishes a drink of liquor procures it. He there
fore recognizes the seller of illicit whiskey as an essen
tial wing of organized society. If this condition pei
tained solely to one branch of society the ultra prohibi
tionist might be able to make out a case. On the con
trary it permeates every strata of society.
An otherwise considered impeccable citizen will
tell a newspaperman that he takes a drink, but he would
not desire to have it thus printed. There are reasons.
The organized majority have a wTay of exercising pres
sure. The supporters of the 18th amendment would be
found supporting an injunction against a labor organ
ization for instituting a boycott. There are numerous
records of punative action on the part of the higher
courts against such boycott. Yet there is no penalty
where the oldest of Athenian judicial procedure is em
ployed, namely ostracism. Then there is the danger of
official extortion such as has come to light too often
to cast a halo of righteousness upon the entire prohibi
tion question, especially higher federal officials.
The system cannot be changed because it is en
meshed in centralized federalization, wdiich creates
a despotism equal to the happiest days of William Ho
henzollern and the Czar of Russia. A royalist politician
of Denmark, addressing the Socialists remarked: “It
is better to be trod upon by a velvet slipper than hob
nails.” In the present instance the velvet slipper ol
prohibition fades from the epigram and,the lumberjack
calks takes its place. ^
With this knowledge in possession of every news
paperman worthy of the name, it is little wonder that
the press is found opposed for the most part to the pre
sent liquor arrangement.
The matter is not a question of morals as much as
politics. The politicians masquerading under the guise
of ultra-morality have built a powerful organization
The Knik Indian who set a forest fire to driv*
away evil spirits and came near cremating six moon
shiners (alleged) ought to be recognized by the anti
saloon league as a worthy compatriot.
Having warned the navy contractors that no fur
ther interference with his efforts to prevent war wil
be tolerated, President Hoover gave Mars anothe]
straight one to the jaw when he refused to allow th<
federal reserve bank to become involved in an internal
ional bank.
A town in France was thrown into panic when thi
sea bottom rose up and grounded all the boats in th<
harbor. They ought to try running a gasboat in Alas
ka waters if they want a real kick.
