WH|SKEy AND CRIME
This Country's Wool, Coal
And Wheat Crops Taken
To Pay Crime Bill.

What should more illuminate
than statistics? Here is that which
should hold the attention of the
prohibitionists. For the year end
ine June, 1918, the collected tax on
whiskey over-topped that of the
previous year by $7,744,914. The
tax increase from vinous liquors
was $387,679. The tax increase
from beer was SO, 1891.
Having gone through the whiskey
figures, run your thoughtful eye
over the crime figures. The conn-
try over, there are thirty murders a
day-more than 10000 a year.
Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Eng
land, Austria-Hungary, Ireland,
Scotland, Holland and Belgium ta-
ken together, have three-fold our
population. But we have more
murders than all of them. For
one hundred American murders
two men are chaired or hanged.
The other ninety-eight 60 free or
are briefly cooped and permitted to
think it over.
The cost of our courts, jailS and
police totals an annual $1,373,OOO,-
900, or about SIS a head for every
man, woman and child on the ma
tional muster rolls. The country's
wool crop is worth $298,OOO,OOO,
the coal crop $35O,OOO,OOO, the
wheat crop $735,OOO,OOO. The
three just about pay the country's
expense bill for crime.
That $1,373,OOO,OOO to punish
and suppress crime, if told down in
gold, would weigh 2,746 tons. Upon
the principle of a ton to team, its
removal would call for a horse pro-
cession twenty miles long. Also, it
doesn't suppress. Comparatively,
this day of the Lords grace is four
and one-half times as great a GRIM
inal as was a day of twenty years
ago.
You who are concerned with |
crime and whiskey should think on
these things. You should consider
how far such conditions are to be
helped or hurt by politics. Written
by Alfred Henry Lewis, political
writer and statistician Of national
reputation.

At the mayors office last Satur-
day were several interesting callers.
One gentleman, drunker than a
sack of still-house pigs, timber as a
black-snake whip and more help
less than dead mule, was brought
in by a policeman at each leg and
one at the nape of the neck, and
laid down for trial, Being too full
for utterance, he was, by order of
the court, filed away in the shay
ines at the wood shop. He was
charged with lying around loose
on the sidewalk; but when the case
is developed by the evidence the
general opinion is that he can show
that he was lying around tight on
the sidewalk.

Washington. Nov 2S. Secretary
MoAdoo issued statement tonight
declaring that banks throughout the
country, reported to be restricting
credits in order to meet the provisions
of the expected currency law, are
making a mistake He announced that
the resources in the treasury would
be at the disposal Of the banks TO aid
them in complying with the new law
when It is put on the statute books.
The statement In part said
"The secretary expressed the con-
viction that the new law would i'm
pose no hardship on the banks and
that the transfers OF capital and re-
serves TO the proposed federal re-
serve hanks would be accomplished
with little or no Inconvenience TO the
banks and to general business The
secretary said that the treasury had
large available resources at its COM
mand and that he should not hesitate
to use them to aid the banks TO COM
ply with the new law, and that, i'm his
opinion, the banks could with perfect
safety proceed with the granting OF
accommodation to their customers
lin the normal and usual way The
secretary said he did not, of course,
assume TO advise the banks-he only
wished them and the business public
to know that there wa no ground for
apprehension. that the attitude of the
treasury department was to be help
full. and he thought it could be. II
any banks We're lab0ring under the
impression that the new law would
necessitate or occasion restriction
of credits. they were controlled by
error, as no such thing would result
The secretary stated that MP 10 date
the banks had called upon the treas
ury for only S84.66t000 for crop NOV
ing purposes. that these deposits were
to be returned under the ARRANGEMENTS
i'm four installments beginning Decem-
Der rs ana ending March
THE secretary said he would con-
slider favorably and upon ita merits,
the application of any national bank
holding crop moving deposits for u
postponement, for thirty days, Of
the time for beginning repayments, SO
that payments might commence on the
fifteenth of January 1914, instead of
on the fifteenth Of December next as
now provided.

HARRY THAW PRESENTS
ANSWER TO PETITION

Concord, ~ H.. Nov. 2S.-Harry
X, Thaw filed in the United States
district court today, his answer to the
petition of the state of New York that
Sheriff Holman A Drew be made
custodian of the Matteawan fugitive
with authority to deliver him to the
New York officials under the extradi-
ton warrant issued BY Governor
Felker Action on the warrant was
stayed by habeas corpus proceedings
instituted by Thaw.
Thaw set forth that custody under
the extradtion warrant would be III
legal and oppressive because, based
upon an unconstitutional statute and
an order of commitment without
trial. In effect he declares, it is worse
than sentence to penal servitude I'm
that IT excludes the possibility Of ex-
ecutiye clemency and pardon.
