Nevertheless it needs no elo- quence from the great Chautauquan to convince many people in this’ country that a lot more thinking will have to be done on what has long been popularly known as the “liquor question.” Prohibition has gone on increasing its hold in the Weat until'since | the late election twenty-five States, one more than half the Union, are dry. That the wave is on its way eastward there cen be no dovbt. Even | in Missouri the former wet majority appears to have dwindled by about 50 per cent. “Next comes the East,” is the ery of the Prohibi- | tion leaders, who do not stop short of the demand “that the Federal | Government banish the trade from all Federal territory and stop the, present iniquitous use of the mails to create an appetite for drugs} and liquor.” | Without touching the moral side of the question, there is still! plenty of room for debate on the practical problem of how far Pro- hibition can accomplish what it seta out to accomplish. We print elsewhere a letter from an Evening World reader who no doubt ex- presses the feeling of a certain number of observers in both Bast and West. There is no use taking it for granted that Prohibition must always romain a local issue. Even Woman Suffrage has pushed pretty close to the national arena. And Prohibition, for @any reasons, can get closer to politics than Suffrage has ever succeeded in doing. From desperate need the warring nations of Europe were lately forced to assume a new and drastic attitude toward the use of alcohol. That attitude has had no emall effect in stiffening and strengthening the Prohibition argument in the United States. There is no dodging the issue. It willehate to be met with as much intelli- gence and study as the country can bring to it. 4 ——-+ With dressed turkeys already quoted at thirty-four and Ubirty cents @ pound, a good many folks will give thanks that there are other things to eat even on the last Thursday in November. | + BELGIAN RELIEF.
