The Minneapolis Journal remarks
that the worst thing about restricting
gambling is that 1t opens the way to
graft. AS 9 matter of fact, the worst
thing about restricting evil OF any
kind is that 1t Is q surrender of the
law to the lawless.

The press is reporting several cases
of "snakes," the victims of which
diseases are claimed to have been
moderate drinkers. We believe it Is
nothing new in the medical world for
those who die of delirium tremens who
have rarely IL ever been drunk. The
man who slows away his eye-opener,
and his appetizer and his n'ght.cap
every day fer twenty years is apt to
find the papilia OF his stomach on q

W. W. Jermaine, the Washington
correspondent of the Minneapolis

the consumption of spirits has fallen
of from 6.l7 gallons in 1929 to 81 in
the year just past. On the former
date there was one saloon for every
one hundred people, whereas az present
time, there Is one saloon for every
five Thousand Inhabitants. 1t may be
remarked that about eleven twelfths OF
Scandinavia is under Prohibition,
and most of the large cities under the
Gothenb berg System.

The Minneapolis Times arraigns the
May or of Chicago for his dereliction
in duty, through which the Ire quUis
Theater disaster came. The Mayor of
Chicago and of nearly every other
city where there is legaliz=d saloon,
has been derelict in his duty, and the
So GODS are running on Sundays,
sitter hours, and sell to min0rs, and
dlunkards and harbor harlots and
break every restrictive law with thu
guilty knowledge of the purgured
off1cery, and there is many q M 'ther
and wife who would thank God # the
body of her boy or husband had ben
destroyed by disaster before his life
was damned by drink. 1t Is certainly
reprehensible for mayor to allow
conditions to exist by which disaster
may occur. 1t is certainly more rep.
rehensib!e to allow conditions to exist
which with moral certainty will bring
more baneful 1esults.
