THE SALOON AND THE WOMEN.
(New York Post.)
The Daily News makes an interest
ing answer to the question, Well, now
that the saloons are coming back, are
women to he admitted to them or
barred from them as they were before
Prohibition?” The answer of the
News is, “Our belief is that the la
dies, will be admitted to the saloons
and welcomed, just as they have been
in the speakeasies during the Prohibi
tion nightmare.” Nol. constitutiona
amendment can prevent the return of
the saloon, in one form or another,
'ihe constitutional prohibition of all
liquor, as well as all saloons, failed
in that result. The only way we are
going to attack ,what used to be
know'n as “the saloon evil” is by edu
cating public sentiment in temperance
and .by letting local communities han
dle their individual problems. We are
inclined to agree wit hoour neighbor
that the new saloon, whatever its
form, cannot exclude the women. The
women are already there.. They are
in speakeasies, whether high or low.
Teey are in barber shops. They are
in smoking cars. For well or ill, they
have! broken dowp many of the old
puritanical barriers against their.se*.
We do not beljgve t.hat.tbe salpqn can
raise them again.,. ..Women’s; stand-,
ards; may eventually he lowered. Joy
the saloons, pr..vfofen. may raise the
standard of the saloon. * Whichever
way it works, the News, succinctly
points out where the responsibility
lies when it says: “We cap attribute
to the Prohibitionists the fact that,
when they tried to stop men from
drinking, they only succeeded . ip
spreading the drink custom to women,
boys, and girls, in addition to men.”
