FRUITS OF PROHIBITION.

Opinions concerning the merit of
laws prohibiting the saloon traffic may
differ. but there IS no doubt that under
such laws. when enforced. crime is
reduced very materially. II nothing
else can Doc said in favor OF prohibit
tive legislation 60 can az least be said
that public morality is improved by a.
This r. the conclusion 30 which an
investigators come. Recently Mr. Har-
risou l.. Beach Inns shown. in an article
in pcarson's Magazine. that prohibition
has decreased crime In Kansas. and
this is the experience an over the coun-
try where prohibition Us in force.
Mir Beach wrote the chiefs Of police
iu number OF cities. putting 20 them
this question: "By what percentage
hgya crime and disorder increased or
decreased since the enforcement OF the
prohibItion law" In Pittsburg during
the wet period from April 10 10 sept
30 1905 there were 552 arrests, of which
252 were for drunkenness. During the
dry period from April 10 20 sept. 30.
1909 there were only 139 arrests and
of these only 80 were for drunkenness.
Al Hutchinson, during the wet septem-
bor. 1908. there were 20i arrests, OF
which l3i were for drunkenness Dur
ing the dry september 1909 there were
only 1870 arrests, and 30 only Tor drunk
