IS PROBITION PROHIBITING
IN COLORADO ?
r*. r __
"Is prohibition prohibiting in Colo
rado? asks the Trinidad Chronicle
News.
"Police records at this writing are
indicating clearly that there is fully
ns much ,if not more, drunkenness and
use of liquor with the sale of liquor
prohibited and all drinking establish
ments closed, than there was in cor
responding periods prior to the time
the law went into effect, and this con
dition does not mean that there has
been any less energy manifested by
officers of the law to enforpe the law.
Drunkenness Increases.
"Drunkenness and the use of liquor
is steadily increasing. Trinidad po
lice records show twice as many ar
rests for drunkenness this month than
in April last year when the saloons
were wide open. It is stilted the young
boys are using liquor more freely.
“One reason is that it large number
of liquor users stocked up with it
private supply before closing time on
December 31 at midnight, and that
supply having run out is now being
replenished by the user sending to
Raton, Kansas City, or other places.
Another reason is that any person by
making out the required affidavit upon
receipt can ship in any quantity of
liquor desired anil therefore having
so much at one time is liable to con
tinue drinking until it is all gone. An
other reason is that in the early
months a great many persons were in
timidated by the law and exercised care
and caution for fear of getting into
trouble and hence made a stagger at
riding the water wagon. Another rea
son is that the bootleggers kept out
while the law was young, well knowing
that the officers would be likely to be
most energetic at the outset.
When the saloons were open there
was an inexhaustible supply and a
person could buy and buy and the
liquor dealer would have no more to
sell. That is true. But the average
liquor user had only a limited amount
of money to spend at a given time for
liquor. Now, he can send his entire
month’s pay, if he chooses, for a ship
ment of liquor and get a very large
quantity, whereas he was inclined to
take his drinks in smaller nips from
the retailer when the saloons were
open.
Minors Get Liquor.
"When saloons were open also, the
saloon men, unless he wanted to vio
late a law and make himself liable to
a jail sentence, would not sell drinks
to a minor. It is easily possible for]
Illinois to get booze now through old
er persons, and cases are known where
a. group of seven or eight boys under
2! have clubbed together and shipped
in liquor through some one who is
over 21.
"A Pueblo man said the other day:
I have never had to send outside the
state for whisky since January 1. I
made a bet the other night that I could
run out of and bring back two quarts
of whisky and be gone but 20 minutes.
I went out (this was in Pueblo) and
was back with two quarts in 18 min
utes by the clock.—Adv.
BAD AMERICANS
Prohibition leaders have begun a
campaign which is dangerous to the
safety of the country and utterly dis
creditable to themselves. The plan is
to pledge 5,000,000 votes to vote against
any party and any candidate who does
not openly favor prohibition, regard
less of his views on national defense
on foreign policy, and on industrial
preparedness.
"The nation-wide movement for na
tional prohibition," reads a statement
issued by the committee of sixty, “fur
thered by the effort to secure 5,000,000
voters to pledge themselves to vote
only for such party and candidates as
stand committed by state and national
platform declaration to the overthrow
of the liquor traffic, is beginning in its
sweep through the country.”
This statement means that 5,000,000
voters will be asked to sacrifice every
issue, however pressing and however
necessary to the national safety, to
the one issue of forcing prohibition on
this country. The seriousness of such
a pledge may be gauged when we
think what it might have meant in
I860 and in 1864. Such tactics might
have led 5,000,000 voters to vote for
disunion and for a continuance of hu
man slavery.
Perhaps the issues of this campaign
are not so vital as those of 1861. They
are certainly not much less vital. Pro
hibition leaders are proposing to knife
any candidate, however sound his i
stand on the fundamental issues be
foie the country, if he does not agree!
with them.
Would they vote for a candidate
whose platform called for war with
Germany or war with England just
because he showed himself willing to
fight "the liquor traffic" also? Would
they vote for a candidate whose two
desires were unlimited immigration of
Orientals and prohibition? That is
what such a pledge might easily mean.
It is asserted that 5,000,000 people
In this country believe that till intoxi
cants should he prohibited. There are
at those figures about 95,000,000 who
do not believe with them.
If these 5,000,000 are serious they
will continue to devote themselves to
education, to persuasion of the other
95,000,000. 1'ntil they have educated
the majority and more, legislation
against intoxicants will be futile be
cause it will not be enforced. Legisla
tion against liquor is not enforced now.
Where most people see no wrong in
drinking and no harm in drinking, laws
will not prevent drinking.
In this connection it should be not
ed that the Tribune is not fighting for
intoxicating liquors. It does not re
ceive advertisements even for beer. Tf
harm is done by intoxicants, the Tri
bune does not care to be a party to it.
Hut to be willing to sacrifice the vital
necessities of this country to the one
issue of prohibition is to be a bad
American.—CT* ago Daily Tribune —
