ANTl-SALOON LEAGUE
IS BITTERLY ASSAILED
Statistics Quoted to Show That
it flinders development
and Makes Quasi
Criminals

WASHINGTON. June 9---"Hypo-
critegH and quasi criminals" were
some Of the terms used by Percy An
dreas, of Cincinnati, in describing TO
the Brewers convention to-day the
prohibition propangadists and their
work.
Andreas made n bitter assault on
the Anti-Saloon League. "Prohihi-
ton is the curse il is" he said, GIN
ply because II does not destroy the
demand for liquor, but merely vitiates
the channels through which the sup
ply flows that satisfies the demand.
Men of enterprise and character. nat
uraily shuu a State where they can
only exist az hypocrites. What man
who boasts OF any dignity or self
respect will remain or settle in COM
munity where he Is reduced by the
law 70 the level Of the domestic beast
which must have master to control
its appetites because It cannot con-
troll them itself"
Andreas quoted an Anti Saloon Lea
que member that $4,000 people
were now residing IN prohibition
States, and against this cited the fact,
rs shown by internal revenue receipts,
that In the Is years Of prohibition. the
per capita consumption OF wfiskey in
the country 90 had increased over 80
per cent and that of beer more than
~ per cent.
To Ninth Power.
Thanks tn the success Of prohibit
ton" he said. "3S 600 900 of the popu-
lation are to-day drinking illegally half
as much again as that which they for
meriy drank legally OR. rather. to he
quite accurate, since the greater half
of these 100000 people voted for
prohibition, we must assume. either
that the smaller half is drinking sew
eral times as much as 1t drank before,
or that the greater half who voted to
abolish drink. are hypocriticalls help
ing them to consume that fearful ex-
cess
In scorcludlpg. Andreas quoted an
essay of President Tafts declaring az
foolish and unsound" the enactment
OF laws (which by reasons OF con-
ditions surrounding the community
are Incapable of enforcement" This
he contended was exactly applicable to
the prohibition laws.
That as result of it's sponsorship

iican party In Maine in now in grave

they could not add to the indignant de-

tho story as malicious and without the
