Testing Prohibition With Straw Votes FTER SIX YEARS of prohibition it remains one of A our liveliest domestic issues and, as one Western .editor observes, any one is blind who does not see that “the stage is being prepared for the most vigorous political battle in the nation for years—with Prohibition as the issue, and the modification of the Volstead Law as the aim.” What with the recent newspaper straw votes all over the country, the Senatorial hearings on modification meas- ures, and the State campaigns hinging on the Prohibition issue, editors now see in progress. a new survey of the Whole Prohibition situation. Turning to the papers which are unimpressed by the un- official balloting in the recent newspaper poll, the Tacoma Ledger is convinced that the recent straw vote was “a worthless referendum.” The idea of trying to amend the Constitution by a stfaw ballot seems perfectly ridiculous to the Spokane Spokesman-Review—“as well might an effort be made to take a straw ballot on slavery, or dis- enfranchisement of women, or direct election of Unitea States Senators, or any other amendment that has been added to the Constitution since the original document was adopted in 1790.” In this week’s LITERARY DIGEST, the leading article consists of a summary and a searching analysis of the recent nation-wide straw vote conducted by hundreds of daily newspapers throughout the country, in which more than three million ballots were cast. Among other interesting news-features in THE DIGEST this week, April 3d issue, are the following: How Often Does the Weather Man Miss? HILE THE UNITED STATES Weather Bureau has “taken over short-range forecasting from the cor- ner-store rheumatic and the patent-medicine alma- nac,” it is not for the present “competing with cure-all literature in long distance prophecy.” There was a time, we are reminded by a writer in the Kansas City Star, when the “weather prophet” furnished almost as many jokes as the mother-in-.aw. But in those days “the science of fore- casting and its equipment had not emerged from the ex- perimental stage.” You will be interested in reading this arcicle because it touches upon a subject with which the public is not gen- erally familiar.
