Prohibition Does Not
Prevent Full Prisons.

1t has been freely alleged that pro-
hdbition reduces crime, and that, with
prohibition. in force the number of in
mates in the prisons of the county
would be materially reduced. Prison
statistics are, therefore, of especial in
terest at this time.
The number of prison inmates in
the census year, 1890. in the United
States was 1929, or 1,315 for each mil
lion of the population. The prohibit
ton state of Kansas stood above the
average; it had 1851 prisoners for
each million of inhabitants. Maine
stood below the averase and had only
774. But if states like Indiana show
907 Minnesota 619, Wisconsin 663, Ne
braska 619, Maine has no reason to
| boast of the beneficial effects of fifty
years prohibition.
Moreover, all the prohibition states
except Vermont show a decided III
crease of prisoners compared with
1880. Vermont alone shows a de-
crease, but this state also enjoys the
proud distinction of being stationary
in its population, while that of the
United States increases about % per
cent in a decade.
Massachusetts which, in cOnse-
quence of its laws has very limited
number of saloons. has 1885 prison
ers for every million of inhabitants
more than twice the average-and
shows, compared with 1880, an in
crease of 329
The Dakotas make more favorable
showing They have only 538 prison
ers, but they are very thinly popu-
lated, and have no cities of any size.
Yet in spite of prohibition the number
has increased "a, compared with 1890,
an increase above that of Indiana,
where it was go.

lent method in the south of attempt
ing to make men sober by driving out
the legalized sale of liquor The la
mentable results of such attempts and
the deplorable failure of the local OPP
! ton. poicy are all vividly portrayed in
the following editorial:
Curious insight into methods of
securing liquor in prohibition districts
is given by recent occurrence In .
small southern city. F;6ur country
men living about fifty miles away,
went to the city by wagon, taking
| along some horses to trade The Jour-
ney required two days eacn way. One
or their first acts was to begin to
seek something to drink The city
is tight as drum, with barrooms all
closed and blind tigers supposed to be
| Danished. One of the men found a
negro barber, who supplied a limited
quantity of what he said was black
berry wine. Meanwhile, the others
| staying around the wagon lot had
found small negro boy with a sam
pie of stuff which he said he could
sell them at a dollar a quart The
countrymen Clipped in, bought a quart
and proceeded to drink It in back al
| leyS and behind fences, turn and turn
about. The result was that three of
them were made desperately I'll and
the fourth died. The alleged whiskey
was manufactured a little at a time
| in the back room of local druggist
and was composed largely of wood
alcohol
+ Now the question is whether a de-
cent saloon, under rigid police super
vision and with the laws enforced,
would not be better than this system
OF secret poison. All of US who know
southern communities are familiar
With all the little characters in this
little tragedy-men from the country
who come in thirsty for liquor, the
negro barber who has a little in a
back room, the hotel porter who
knows where to find it, the sharp, dis
reputable negro street urchin familiar
with all the devilment there is and
accustomed to run immoral errands
OF all kinds. They are everywhere,
and they cannot be eradicated, and
now many men are poisoned or fren-
zled annually by such means no stat
lst1cs can tell u.s."

The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1907-06-07

Washington, June 5.-One hundred
armed Confederate veterans from Ten
nessee, carrying the stars and bars,
were Tuesday denied admittance to the
United States capital until after they
had lowered their flag and disarmed.
The oil soldiers came to Washington
from the Richmond reunion, and after
visiting the White House marched
down Pennsylvania avenue to the CAPT.
tai. The capital police informed them
that they would be allowed admission
to the capital only as private citizens
and not as an organized body.
Congressman John Wesley Gaines of
Tennessee. who accompanied the vet
Grams, entered protest.
The police insisted, however, that
the veterans must break ranks and dis
arm before entering the building. Fin
ally this was done and the old soldiers
were shone through the capital. The
delegation was composed of company
A of Memphis and company B and
cavalry troop B.

JOE CHAMBERLAIN VERY WEAK
Unable to Rise and Bow to London
Admirers.

London-After the recent reassur-
ing reports from Santa Raphael,
France, regarding the improvement in
the health of Joseph Chamberlain, his
arrival in England Saturday was some
what of a shock to his friends, who
had gathered to meet him, both here
and at Dover.
Mr.. Chamberlain was accompanied
by his wife and son, Neville. When the
train arrived at the Victoria station
he was seen lying back on the cush-
ions, seemingly almost helpless. He
made no effort to rise until assisted by
his wife and son, and it was remarked
that he made vain attempt to raise
his hat in response to cheer from the
crowd.
Mr. Chamberlain was almost carried
to his carriage. He drove to his Lon
don residence. 1t seems that he is
quite unable to walk by himself.
Twitchings of the facial muscles sug-
gested that the effects of his recent
seizure have not been completely sha-
ken off.
The family authorized the follow
ing statement:
"Mr. Chamberlain has returned much
improved in health and none the worse
for the long journey. He has not yet
made any plans, but will certainly re-
main in London for time.
