Why I Am Against Repeal of
The 18th Amendment
BY W. V. ALLEN
First. 1 want to say why I am a
Democrat. 1 am a Democrat because
I believe in the rights of thP indi
vidual to do his own thinking. I '';
lieve that the Democratic party of
people, and its principles, as enun
ciated by Thomas Jefferson are of the
people, for the people, and by the
people.
Bcleieving as I do. therefore, I
could not feel myself bound by any
plank that might be in the Demo
cratic platform, pledging the party
to the repeal of thP eighteenth amend
ment. I was not in the convention,
and I had no representatove there as
I had no chance to vote for any dele
gate there, and. if 1 had. I would
still fall back upon thP sound Jeffer
sonian doctrine of individual rights
when it comes to passing upon a
jquestion that involves matter of
'conscience.
When I became a Democrat, some
forty odd years ago the party was
dry. I know that it was dry back in
the nineties and in 1908 when the
Statp went overwhelmingly dry. If
any man voted wet then, it was not
because he was a Democrat, but be
cause he was for the liquor interest
The same can be said about Republi
cans. I resent thP effort that has
been made to make my party the
party of old John Barleycorn. I re
sent the effort that is being made by
designing men to use the livery of
Democratic policies to bring back n
national curse.
So much to clarify my position as
a Democrat. I am against the repeal
of the eighteenth amendment because
despite th,. fact that it has only
pel functoiily been enforced, it hag
proved to be a great humanitarian
experiment and a boon to mankind.
To prove this statement. 1 quote from
a condensed statement from the
United States census and general
court reports.
Note the following carefully. Since
the eighteenth amendment went into
effect in 1918. the following results
have become apparent: deaths caused
from drinking liquors have decreased
42 per cent; insanity caused by
liquor drinking has decreased 66 per
cent; crime traceable to drinking has
lessened 54 per cent; drunkenness. 70
per cent; and the consumption of
liquor 77 per cent
In the United States, before pro
hibition, there were 98 Keely insti
tutes now there are ten. In Chicago,
before prohibition, the Washingtoriian
Home for inebriates had from 700 to
1000 patients all the time and
had treated about I'.OO.OOO drunk
ards,, but since prohibition, the home
has been changed into a hotel with
no patients.
I am against the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment, also, because
the repeal will mean the return of the
saloon and the bar room. If North
Carolina votes wet on November 7,
there will be a strong effort made to
have an extra session of the legisla
ture called to repeal the Turlington
act and to removP from the statute
books all dry laws that havP been
placed there by the prayers and the
votes of our fathers of other days.
There is an element in every town
that will turn heaven and earth up
side down to bring in the saloon.
And what reason is given by the
wets to bring back the reign of ter
ror of the old days ThP cry that
the eighteenth amendment has been
a failure is not true any more than
to say that the ten commandments
have been a failure. Only the un
sophisticated are deceived by that
argument. The only argument that
does appeal with any weight is that
the revenue derived from the sale of
liquor will help to balance the public
budget. Grant that there is some
truth in the claim, it is the argument
of the rich money barons who want
to escape the incomP tax and put the
burden upon the poor man, who will
pay most of the revenue derived from
liquors. Seme time ago, the state
ment was made in the press dis
patches that Irenee DuPont had
made the remark that beer and
liquors can be restored and taxed,
one of his companies would be saved
morP than $10,000,000 corporation in
come taxes-
Suppose John Barleycorn is made
thP tax collector to pay into the na
tional treasury the $500,000,000 that
it is claimed, it will bring in. How
much money must be spent for liquor
in order to bring in that amount of
taxes? It is conceded that the cus
tomer will have to pay at least $10
to the liquor dealer for every dollar
that is passed on the government in
taxes. The conclusion is inevitable,
therefore that if John Barleycorn is
j pay into the public treasury $500-
lii. i.i00. he must collect from h:s
fi:-tomers. tne ranu ana rue oi
fi'rnkers. $5 000.000,000 every yer.
i;..,. figures are staggering, but if
...ember that all the money in :h?
futcd States in circulation is bu:
; !H more than the latter sum- a-,
' i may be had of its enormity.
Bur the most serious thing a'iu
hat is the fact that the stupendous
-um must come largely from th
wage earners of the country ar.i
must come out f the amount that
has been budgeted for bread ar.-i
wea. for the family needs. What
, :fect that expenditure for that which
is useless will have upon the pri?e
el' wheat, corn, and meats, is yet to
Lt. determined. Who knows but that
we shall be paying the piper with the
ri in of the agricultural interests of
oar country, the slackening of the
wheels' of industry, and the down
ward swing of our commercial su
periority. Perhaps, also, the balancing of our
public budgets with .ohn Barley
corn's help will bring us a toll of
crime unprecedented either in thU
ountry or the world. Can we afford
to run the risk? Let's keep North
Carolina and Haywood county on the
.safe side. As Bob Reynolds, the
apostle of the wets, says, let us vote
as we drink. So far as I am concern
ed Mr- Reynolds' challenge is ac
cepted to vote as I drink.
Q.: What odd number become.
even when its first letter is removed?
A.: Seven.
Mrs. Newly-Rich was recounting to
an acquaintance the thrilling events
of the night before, when the house
had been robbed.
"As a matter of fact," she said,
"we were eating our soup "
"Then, of course," interrupted the
candid friend, "none of you heard
anything."
