TIhh. doing so that "the party in power is entitled to majority representation" upon state boitrd and commissions, but that "nodisparagement Is lr luuueu- oi any official." This shows conclusively an effort nn bin ,. obtain control of the license system iur poiuicai reasons only and the appointments lib made later gave his party a majority on the board. During the next campaign in 1916 the democratic nominee charged that the republican admin istration had used the license system during its tenure, for the advantage of its candidates and party. ThiB time the democratic nominee was successful and no sooner had ho been inducted into office, than ho de manded, and obtained, the resigna tion of a -epublican member of the commission. He, thereupon, ob tained control of the commission by appointing one of his selection, a partisan to both the party and traffic. Thus these important state positions which, it has been so faithfully promised, were to be so surely re moved from politics, have been used for party patronage and advantage. The selection of tho various county license board members is left, to tho state commission and, It Is a known fact, in almosj; every instance tho state board ffi making its appoint ments, follows ,the recommendations of the county, committee of that party to which a majority of the state board belongs. ' When it is remem bered that sjh partisanlsm is prac tice in the appointment of state and county boards the boards which aro charged with enforcing the liquor laws, within whose power it lies to grant and deny licenses need any further argument be advanced to prove that the saloon in Ohio is still In politics? No, the license system has not stopped agitation, it has increased it; it has not eliminated brewery dom ination; the bootlegger can still get a supply of wet gooris and thnt is "i ho needs: its inhibition arrainst tho immoral character Is ineffective; the baneful influence of the traffic is in herent, license has not and can not remove it; and the saloon in Ohio is deeper in politics than ever. Tho li cense system has not redeemed one- promise made for it. It has failed and must soon be abondoned but for what? Before the adoption of license, the evils springing 'from the saloon were such that the) temper of the people was taxed. Prohibition seemed in evitable and (license was proposed to prevent it. Ife-was agreed to, for many hoped that it would furnish a measure of rogulation which would make prohibition unnecessary, but it has proved disappointing. I early learned, as a member of the license commission, that just as soon as the state attempted to regulate the traffic the traffic attempted to dominate the state, and, if not overthrown, the traffic, thiough the license system, will become the master. I charge no one with bad faith. The state, in trying to regulate the liquor traffic, attempted an impos sible task, because evil will beget evil. Tho state commanded the li quor traffic to be good, but booze and the open saloon can not help but hrPfid crime and misery. From our experience with the license system, it is my conviction, there is oniy one solution. When the, cry in the world is for bread, not booze; when the need of the hour is men, not drunk ards; when conservation, and a'6t waste, is a dominant necessity; when efficiency, and not frivolity is civil ization's only hope; and when booze attempts to master the state, there is but one alternative prohibition. The traffic must go.
