A CERTAIN LEGISLATOR'S INTOLERANCE IF Representative Eddy, chairman of the House committee on manufactures and commerce, is correctly quoted, ho has voluntarily placed himself on record as being the most bigoted law-maker in. Utah since statehood. According to the newspaper reports, this certain legislator, in reply to the query as to whether or not his committee would entertain a hearing on the prohibition measure, said: "As I understand it, the object of prohibition is to put the brewers out of business, and if I am any judge of the sentiments of the members of the lower house that is just what is going to bo done." He likewise intimated that the only expression his committee was willing to re ceive from the representatives of the brewery interests was an "expression of regrets." Such high-sounding talk is popular, perhaps, at the present time, but it brands the speaker as being of too small a caliber to adequately comprehend the responsibilities of his high office. Assuming that the ruination of great business interests is inevitable as one of the consequences of extreme prohibi tion, it does not follow that it can be made in any sense of dececy whatever the ackowledged object of th6 prohibition propaganda. The generally ac cepted object of the proposed legislation is based solely upon moral grounds, and the realization that in its application certain legitimate industries are forced to suffer extreme losses, if not utter annihilation, ought to temper the prejudices of the prohibitionists and appeal to their sense of fairness above all other things. We hold no brief for the brewers. But if we had vital interests at stake, as they unquestionably have, we would certainly demand a hearing and we would move heaven and earth, if necessary, to get ft. In answer to the claim that the case is closed, we would hold that the fundamental law of the land expressly provides that one's property cannot be taken from him without due process of law, and that in this instance this guarantee most certainly entitles any citizen to a fair and impartial hearing before the law-making body itself. To deny a citizen his day in court isthe most vicious expresson of intoler ance imaginable. And so we would insist upon a hearing before the legislature. If accorded an audience, we would certainly agree with the prohibitionists that It is the will of the people of this state that the saloons must go, and that the manu facure and sale of intoxicating liquors must be stopped. But we would also insist upon our right to manufacture non-intoxicating beverages, and in the limitation of the alcoholic contents to be contained therein we would insist upon the acceptance of the definition of scientific experts, instead of the "one half of one per cent" arbitrarily proposed. Just where the line of demarca tion should be fixed is a mooted question, but the advice of expert authorities should prevail in this respect And if it is possible, under the new law, to legalize the manufacture of non-intoxicating beverages of such a nature as will encourage the great Utah industries affected to convert their plants for such purposes, and thereby save these industries to the state, it becomes the solemn duty of every legislator to see that this is done. WHAT OF THE SOUL OF EUROPE? T ISCUSSIONS of economic changes in Europe after the war are many and - the transition period from war to peace, which, it is figured, will last sev eral years, is giving financiers grace concern. But while there has been much said in regard to the industrial and financial readjustment, involving radical changes, will there not be changes in the soul of Europe as well? Will the kaiser return from tho battlefield and mount his throne again, secure in his rights, as the anointed of God? It has become the fashion to account for hu man lives one by one "on this vast checkerboard." VIIl the mothers and fathers of his ravaged empire sit silent or will they want an accounting? Tho solitary state of the royal families of Euroe is likely to be rudely broken. Are not many of those footsore thousands of soldiers, marching at the order of one man, when tho lust of blood is cooled, going to ask, "Why?" What will royalty reply? No voice out of the caverns or heavens returns divine answers in these prosaic days. Keen-eyed money-lenders put questions, even to kings, and slaughtering of fellowmen has become hideously expensive. It may be really "the crash of empires and fall of worlds" that is now filling the country with horror and indignation. For what have millions of men died within the last two years? Why not a tourney of kings if they wish to wipe one another off the earth? Where has civilization been lurking these days?
