O the New York Times must be granted a distinction. In its leading editorial of yesterday, “The Ban Upon Drink,” it furnished as a substitute for courageous, consistent teasoning the best example yet of the tlaccid, confused, well-meaning maybe-all-is-for-the-best state of mind that delivered the country and its Constitution into the hands of a fanatical minority. The Times cannot quite forget that it knows something about the institution and development of self-government in the United States It cannot bring itsclf to admit that on the subject of the Nation's political progress, based on fidelity to fundamental principles, its mind $as become a blank. | It permits itself only a faint sigh over “remnants of now uncon- sidered political principles which for more than half a century were geticles of orthodox party faith.” But it swallows harder when it hotes that— “The venerable Democratic doctrine of State rights ts flouted and ovnsistency is driven shuddering from her t by this de cision, really surprising though not unexpected.” “It has been a doctrine of the Democratic Party,” says the Times, “that powers not expressly granted to the Federal Government in thi } Constitution were reserved to the States respectively and to the people.” ' Since when was this only “a doctrine of the Democratic Party” ? What about the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United | States, which reads: Article X. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. In its anxiety to convince itself that a National Prohibition Amendment does not pervert and degrade the Constitution, is the| ‘Yimes ready to see whole sections of that hitherto respected instru- | ment as, after all, mere party doctrine that must pass with time and{ change? | Again the Times draws a hand across a tecognizes how infinitely greater was “the ne drink habit” in earlier days of the Nation, when even “the cash) « accounts of clergymen of Puritan descent” contained “frequent entries | = «f ‘seven gallons of New England rum’, puzzled w when it 1 of restraint upon the | “It is very different now.
