It may well be that absolute
inolnbition legislation is unwise.
It is apparently now taken as a
demonstrated fact that prohibition
legislation is difficult to enforce
and has been relatively ineftei ti e.
But it is also still true that alco
holic liquoi has the effect ot mak
ing some individuals to a large cic
iice and all individuals to some
jigiec less able to pttloiiii their
iibysical activities in a nwmal
nannei.
'pilK cju.-tion of the lr.hfitr.t
Diotal.ty oi irnqr.-oi ality of
drinking- alcoholic liquor is abso
lutely irrelevant so far as reach
ing an intelligent decision as to
the interests of the public. The
simple facts nio that when an in
, dividual under the influence of
liquor diives a car he is, or may
be. a menace to other users of the
highway.
If under such conditions he has
'an accident in which property or
life is destroyed, it seems reason
able that society should exact a
severe penalty for his act. His
action is a result of gross negli
gence no less than as if he had
knowingly driven his car on a
publivi highway when he knew that
, the brakes would not work.
There should be no disposition
to excuse the actions of drunken
individuals on the grounds that
they weie not responsible for what
they do. In a civilization as com
plex as ours it is essential that
everyone be responsible for what
he does. If the results of the ac
tions of an "irresponsible" person
are harmful to society, steps of a
vigorous nature must be taken to
protect society.
But while opinion is as it is,
recognition should cettainly be
given to the fact that the actions
of a drunken person are as thor
oughly reprehensible when their
effei ts aie detrimental as are
those of a sober pn'.-ui. The full
penalty of the law should be ex
aitdi fioni dtunken diiveis.

Vutlivtiv SvvUvrs
Ajhr Truth.
TLKA for a colle giate si use of
humor is sounded by an edi
torial writer in the Syracuse Daily
Orange. This search for the seri
ous truths, he intimates, is a bit
ridiculous, and he appends to his
comment an astonndingly original
philosophical utterance: "Heal per
spective requires that life be taken
with a grain of salt ami a sense
of humor."
All of this is very fine, "d the
leaven of a sense of humor is cer
tainly to be desired, but the Syra
cuse writer, in adjuring- his fel
lows to lighten their loads is ask
ing too mm h. Never were under
graduates known to view life with
! the much desired "perspective."
I Indeed, we might almost go so far
'as to say that undergraduates do
not view life with any kind of per
'speetive they are inclined to shut
themselves away from real life as
'thoroughly as possible,
i The spectacle of "hordes of up-
pei classmen plodding after life's
'groat truths," seems to the Daily
.Orange writer somewhat pathetic,
and perhaps it is, at Syracuse. At
! Nebraska, it would be distinctly
'heartening. If someone should be
so daring a.s to begin the search
for even a small truth perhaps we
should find out some very tlesir-
able things, ret haps then we
should have enough information to
be able to discard our laughter,
which we find convenient to clo
ignorance.
