During the past four years the politicians of both parties have gravitated to the position then dratmaticallv proclaimed hv tiama. cratic candidate. He then declared himself in favor of the appeal of the Eighteenth 'Amendment and leaving the after adjustment to the decision of the states?In the mean time the wets have been persistently active. The newspapers almost without exception have favored liberal interpretation or lax enforcement of the law. The pulpit has been silent. Straw votes, have seeoned. to-show--the-drif-t in the direction of wetness. Timid politicians htnve (become frightened. Mr. Hoover appointed a commission of eleven members ~ who Tendered . eleven different-reports which-a Philadelphia lawyer could hardly under>>( stand. The Department of Justice has spent many millions of dollars trying, apparently in wain, to enforce the law. The dry forces. have been ineffective. ' They have lacked tt><> courage or the cunning to launch a frnntnl affaclf Mnw ?li? i,.?t wi,l.. hw put On such a bold front as to deceive even the elect. The South, which was regarded as the strong hold of dryi? nesB is drifting to tho wot side, state by state The Republican Party .? which has historically stood for temperance against the persistent opposumptuary laws^ is now about to give up the ghost and seems ready to write into the platform *the resubmission of the ^Eighteenth Amendment" and the finaJ adjustment to the states. There is some talk that both parties will adopt identical prohibition ~plankB and thus ta?e the issue out of national politics. This' is surely a groat_tribue Jo- the. political foresight of A1 Sntith. On such a platform he j ought to be the common candidate of both parties. The rest are seeing now what he saw four years ago. Things are apt to go awry when the politicians comc-s to /.'yips with moral isau*^- They seek (ii; t u lifrt they think the .people want and. then adjust their moral notions accordingly. As ;Senator Borah has repeatedly pointed out, resubmission of this question by party declarations is arrant nonsense. .Congress, under the Constitution has the right to sub* mit an addition or change to the Pnnuf iinf in ^.~..?v.VUi?v/u iu popua,r approval, either by way of a formulated amendment or calling a constitutional convention for such purpose.?If the requisite majority of Congress o wants ttriF done it scan be done at any time. Let the people choose Congressmen and iSenators instructed to carry out their will as to prohibition and nothing more is necessary. But since bo,h parties are to play politics with this moral question, it should be dona fnrthrvghly^ Let the. Crand Hid I'arty stand upright and down straight for prohibiion. Then we will know exactly how the matter stands as between the two great antagonists. It' ifr-ueeles? Tor^4-he Republicans to relative wetness. You cannot beat the enemy on his own ground. The Democratic South has within leceiit decades made a grand gesture of dryness, but the gesture is not-genuine, The traditional Southern gentlemdn without his toddy is an impossibility of thought. Thg "Northern enforcement with its forcing background and tradition is honsetly and sincerely wet. The Republican party is essentially a native born agrarian party. Its origin and tradition are racy of the soil. As the oonulnt.irm Eflfe I - MIM.ARI) CAMPBELL, A.H.. AM.
