VICE AND NONSENSE

Perhaps somewhere JOHN McELRoY shines like
star of the first magnitude; his rays, however,
have never before pierced to our benghted realm.
So when he makes his appearance as the author
of little book entitled "The Economic Functions
of Vice." we are at loss as to where to classify
him.
There is great deal of good that be said
about the book. 1t has two stout board covers; it
has sixty pages of a very nice quality of paper;
the said pages are stoutly stitched together with
wire, but by misfortune they have had lot of
miserable nonsense printed upon them. Were it
not for that incident they would do for almost
any purpose that good white paper be used
for. With the printing on them we really can't
think of any use to which they could be put, ex
cept to start fire in the kitchen range.
If anyone should be curious to know the char
acter of the aforesaid printing, they might read
this paragraph:
"Whisky makes no man lazy, shiftless, dshon-
est false, cowardly or brutal These must be
original qualities with him. If he has them he
will probably take to whsky-though not in
evitably-which then does the community the
splendid service of hurrying him along to destruc-
ton and of abridging his infection upon the pub
lie"
This sort of nonsense is the more nexcusable
from the fact, which anyone who takes the time
to read the sixty pages discovers mat Mr.. Nc
Elroy, somewhere in his life has met up with

THE POLICE DEMAND "REspECT'

Of course, we shall make them all the madden
if we laugh, but who can help laughing to see
the international Association of Police Chiefs
adopt resolution demanding more respectful
treatment of policemen at the hands of the press?
True, we lament, the police are not treated with
respect but the of the lack of respect is the
lack of Representatives., or, to use its syno
nym responsibility, upon the part of the average
policeman and the police departments of our mu-
inequalities as whole Who that has watched
the course of the police department of New York
city, let us say to fix the date, since the present
chief came from the alcoholic stages of lunch
con to meet his captains and the inspectors for
the first time and told them of the things he in
tended to have done "by the nine gods of war"
or that has lived with the ineffciency and crini
nality of the police force of Chicago under the
control of the personalized ignorance and bonn
bast that now presides in the office of Chcago's
chief of poce-who that has marked these facts
can muster the first grain of respect for the po-
lice?
Whether the lack of respect takes the form Of
satire and ridicule or scathing denunciation, will
depend largely upon the point of view of the citi-
zen, but respect the present police officials will
never have.

THE TRUE FACTS

1t must begin to be apparent to the intelligent
American citizen that the literature of the liquor
interests which expends much space upon at
tempts to brighten the people about the terrible
results which will come to pass from the adoption
of Prohibition is impertinently and ridiculously
mendacious. The National PYohibitionist is add
ing this week to the already imposing array of
testimony regarding the results of Prohibition
where it has been tried. Town after town, county
after county, city after city have testified and do
now testify, from experience of the no-saloon
policy, that it tends to the promotion of legiti-
crime and that municipal finances improve under
the Prohibition regime.
The testimony regarding states is equally con-
elusive. You could fill huge volumes with the
editorial falsehoods that have been gravely per-
petrated, asserting that Prohibition has been
failure in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island Connecticut, Iowa,
North Dakota and Kansas, as we'll as in numer-
Gus other states where the experiment has been
more or less tested.
Without exception these statements are false.
Prohibition in none of these states has failed,
except in the experience of the people who
wanted it to fail and found that it did not fail,
but, upon the contrary, abolished or fatally ham
pered their pernicious business.
Upon the other hand, it is written as clearly
as any fact is recorded in the history of the
United States, that Prohibition, in every state
where it has been tried in spite of the opposi-
ton of politicians, in spite of the handcaps i'm
posed by federal law, has been magnificent
success.

WATCH THEM NOW

The American Christian citizen, who hates the
saloon and year after year has been voting with
one or the other of the old political parties hold
ing on to the desperate hope that sooner or later
his party will recognize the Importance of the
Prohibition issue and become its champion, will
have, within the next few days, splendid oppor-
tun1ty for an observation to correct his reckon
ing. Both of the great political parties are about
to meet in national convention 1t is the time
when, if ever, the real sentiment of the party
should appear The people have chosen dele
gates to represent them, and if Repubcanism and
Democracy have not been represented in the
legislatures and in Congress during the winter
heard and the real character of the two parties
and their true attitude toward the liquor traffic
can be discovered
The occasion is one that demands utterance
from both political parties as it never before was
demanded. The whole country is awake with
Prohibition agitation. The South, where the
Democratic party rules, has said in most unmis-
taxable terms that it wants the liquor traffic pro-
hibited And in the North, in the great Repub-
lican states, wherever the voice of the people has
had chance to even whisper, it has been against
the liquor traffic.
And what will the great parties do? Perhaps
it is best to wait and see, though no one doubts
the result. There have been "straws" in the
wind, for example, the situation in Illinois, where,
although the people of the state have condemned
the saloon at the polls, in accents past misunder-
standing, the Republican party, to hold its lease
of power, grovels at the feet of the liquor traffic
and takes its dictation for its party platform,
while the Democratic party, to wrest power from
the Republicans, grovels lower
Let every citizen who hates the liquor traffic
and votes with of the old parties watch his
party now.

The Brooklyn Eagle announces that the Prohi-
biton campaigns of the South have not been
fought upon the ground on which "the old ma
tional Prohibition party has fought its cam
paigns" that the contention in the South has been
that "the saloon is the hot-bed and breeding spot
of crime" while the Prohibtionsts have made
their contention "that drinking is sinful" The
passage is valuable as discovery in orrnthology:
The Brooklyn Eagle is a coot.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-06-11

That settles the two questions referring to local
option The remaining questions may be an
swered very promptly.
Some of the Original Prohibition states lost
their prohibitory laws through the oversight of
>fhe liquor question in the acute agitation of the
slavery question. Most of them particularly those
that retained the law until within recent years,
lost it because it was success in protecting the
people to extent from the ravages of the
liquor traffic, and for that reason the liquor in
terests, with their kept politicians, repealed the
laws The method of the doing of it was SPLEEN
didly illustrated in Vermont
The people of Maine are not struggling to be
free from tyranny of Prohibition. If the peo-
pie of Maine wanted to be rid of their prohibitory
law they could accomplish it in a few months
time. A little gang of criminals in Maine, aided
and abetted by the liquor interests of the whole
country, and toadied to by constituencies poll
tlcans, are trying to secure the repeal of Names
prohibitory law so that they can sell their alco-
holic poisons in that state with the same freedom
with which they are sold in other states
The Prohibitionists refuse to allow the Proh-
bition amendment to be resubmitted because they
not willing to give the liquor dealers and their
political allies the opportunity for fraud which
such resubmission would offer, and which the
liquor dealers and their allies have never failed
to profit themselves by. The history of elections
upon prohibitory amendments held in Pennsyl-
vania and Rhode Island may be cited as illustra-
tons. The people of Maine have not only for
mally voted upon the liquor question and given
their decision, but at every state election by sup
porting candidates favorable to the retention of
the law, they affirm that the business which the
Gazette represents is one that they do not want
legazed in their state
