The Literary Digest is conducting
a national poll on prohibition, which is
attracting considerable attention. Par-
tial returns of this “straw vote” give
135834 votes in favor of tsrict enforce-
ment of the Eighteenth Amendment
and Volstead Act, 145727 votes in fa-
vor of a modification of the Volstead
Act to permit the sale of light wines
and beer, and 76039 in favor of the
repeal of the Prohibition Amendment.
Different deductions are drawn
from these figures. Some add those
favoring a modification of the Vol-
stead Act to the number favoring re-
peal, aud make a large majority
against strict prohibition enforce-
ment. But it would be just as logical
to add the number favoring modifica-
tion to the number favoring strict en-
forcement, thus making an over-
whelming majority for prohibition. If
we omit the middle class, and compare
the other two, we have almost 136000
for strict enforcement, against 76000
for repeal, a very substantial majori-
ty. One newspaper jumps to the con-
clusion that the results of prohibitiun
have disappointed some of those who
formerly favored it. Is such a con-
clusion justified by the facts in the
case? Before national prohibition
was adopted, some States had state-
wide prohibition for periods varying
from sixty to ten years, and less. All
these States had opportunity to test
prohibition, and instead of repudiat-
ing it, they all ratified National pro-
hibition. In some States, Pennsylva-
nia for example, prohibition has not
vet been given a trial. But even with
the very imperfect enforcement in this |
hibition
State, the results have been gratify-
ing. As one example,—the warden of
the Dauphin county jail said recently:
“A decline of seventy-five per cent. in
the number of cases for drunkenness
in Harrisburg is apparent since pro-
hibition went into effect,” this in spite
of those beverages called “home
brew.”
Another example,—the Legislatures
of 1913 and 1917 appropriated $220,-
000 to purchase a site and build a
home for inebriates, the finished pro-
duct of the saloons, of which there
were approximately 11000 in the
State. Then National prohibition
came, and the work halted. Now a
plan is on foot to ask the next Legis-
lature to pass a bill permitting the
land and the money to be used for a
home for epileptics. Information will
be given the Legislature of 1923, “to
show the futility of an inebriate home
now.” Prohibition is evidently ex-
pected to prohibit, even in Pennsylva-
nia.
It is significant that a number of
the candidates for the nomination for
Governor of Pennsylvania declared
for Prohibition enforcement in their
platforms. A few years ago would
any candidate of either of the leading
parties have declared for prohibition?
The fact that there is opposition to
prohibition should not occasion either
surprise or dismay. There is always
opposition to reform measures.
A study of the facts concerning
prohibition will give a much more ac-
curate idea of the strength of the
measure, than can be gained from a
“straw vote” on the question.
Prohibition did not come as the re-
sult of a sudden hysterical impulse, as
some would have us believe. It came
as the result of a long, hard, steady
fight, which began, in some of the old-
er States, two hundred years ago. It
was a fight which, for years, seemed
to be against hopeless odds, a fight in
which many of the fighters suffered
financial loss, some of them even the
loss of life. National prohibition is a
wonderful victory.
“After the Prohibitory Amendment
was adopted by Congress, it required
ratification by the Legislatures of
thirty-six States, seventy-two legisla-
tive bodies. The adverse vote of but
thirteen legislative bodies would have
kept prohibition out of our National
Constitution. The liquor forces could
not control even thirteen legislative
bodies. What does this indicate ?
Before National prohibition came,
twenty-six States had state-wide pro-
hibition, and all the other States but
four were partly “dry” under local
option laws, some of them fifty to sev-
enty-five per cent. Even in Pennsyl-
vania, one of liquor’s last strongholds,
there were about a dozen counties
“dry” under judicial decisions.
Maine adopted statutory prohibi-
tion in 1858, and constitutional pro-
hibition in 1884. Some years later the
question was re-submitted to the peo-
le, and prohibition was again carried.
t would have been a notable victory
tor the liquor interests if Maine had
repudiated prohibition, but Maine did
not do so. ;
Oklahoma was organized as a State
with prohibition in its constitution.
Three years later a local option and
high license amendment was submit-
ted and defeated by a majority of
21077.
Kansas adopted constitutional pro-
1 in 1880. Under this law,
liquor could be sold for medical, scien-
tific and mechanical purposes. The
| Legislature of 1909 eliminated these
three exceptions.
Prohibition is strengthened by the
attitude of the public press, and the
railroads and other important corpor-
ations. Even before National prohi-
bition came, hundreds of newspapers
and magazines refused all liquor ad-
vertising and the corporations refus-
ed to employ drinking men.
Even liquor men admit that prohi-
bition has come to stay. The attack
is not upon the Amendment, therefore,
but is directed against the enforce-
ment of it. An effort is being made
to so modify the enforcement act as
to permit the sale of light wines and
beer. But the forces which achieved

such a monumental victory as Nation-
‘al prohibition will not go down to de-
feat before light wine and beer.
Law enforcement is of extreme im-
portance. Any evasion or weakening
of the enforcement of prohibition is
an encouragement of the lawless spir-
it which would defy all law. Every
voter, man or woman, should see to it
that his vote or her vote is cast on the
side of strict enforcement of our fun-
damental law, our National Constitu-
tion. Every such voter may feel as-
sured that victory will be on the side
of prohibition, in the future, asit has
been in the past. !
