Plenty to Drink. it is coniinon talk among the "Wash ington newspaper men that liquor Is , openly sold in Philadelphia and they emphasise that It Is "good liquor" as distinguishing It from the 18-a-quart o""j uiv-7 ouy in wr asnington from the bootlegger. They say the boot legger here in Philadelphia sells a quart of good whisky for as low as $10. At the hotels, one pays SIS and up for it not from 'the hotels them selves, but from the writers and bell hops who laid in a supply before "the drouth," as the German waiter told about. Therefore. It Is not hard to understand why some of the poli ticians are coming out Is favox? f wet pfatuk: In the party platforms. Governor Smith, of New Jersey, would hard'v take- a ittnH inlM I prohibition If he did not know the sentiment of his people. Tint Ye-1- Sentiment Wtr Governor faults of Nw YaHt - signed the New York bill legalising the manufacture of 2.7S beer. He admits that If the national prohibi tion law Is held valid, the beer can not be made in New York until con gress raises the percentage of alco hol that may be put In beer If eon-, grets alone has the right to say. But, in signing the hill, he went on rec ord with those who favor the manu facture and sale of liquor and against the prohibitionists. Many of the ew York papers call the Aew York beer measure the second declaration of Inde pen dene?." At one of the hearings on the meas ure this week, the governor said that, although the 18th amendment Itself might be declared constitutional, still ho did not see why congress had any more right to say Just how mttch alcohol a drink should contain to be Intoxicating than a state legislature had to specify the same thing. Here's a Fine Point. His contention, in signing the hill, was that while the 18th amendment forbids the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor, it does not de fine what that liquor Is, which Is admitted, and that a state legisla ture has a right undsr the Joint en forcement provision of law, to decide what shall constitute intoxicating liquor. There is another nice point for some court to settle. As he was signing the measure governor Smith said he bad been In formed that he had received a letter from canon William S. Chase, of Brooklyn, containing an expert opin ion from a food authority that all t beer was a deadly poison. "X tremoie to tmntt or tn people who have been facing death all these years, and many of them are good friends of mine," said the governor. Time ma? chanae thlncs. This is I not a prophetic article, ft IS written as a statement or ract. I went into Baltimore and Philadelphia to learn about Dolitics and could set nobodv to talk about anything but prohibl- I tion. The banker, the lawyer and the merchant, the doctor and the den tist, ma not be so vitally concerned. They will probably average up with the men of the same occupations or professions anj where else in the. di vergent views they possess, but the 1 average man is outspoken for a re turn ox uquor. Bootlegger to Blame "Just as the saloon and Its abuse of its privilege caused a revulsion of sentiment against it. th6 bootlegger and his high prices and the encour- I agement and support he gets from prices, is tho red rag that enrages the man who can't afford the luxury of "a shot nowadays and makes him "agin the government.' Jodglng from hundreds of con versations, it can be said that the restoration of beer at least whether that would permanently satisfy them or not Is n ques tion would have more to do with settling unrest than anything else that could happen They won't even be satisfied with the high cost f living being cat down nnless they get their beer. Strangely enough, they can pro hibition first and the high cost of living next "1 used to have my can of beer at night," an old train caller In the Broad street station said, "but now I can't get It.
