The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1914-12-04

Mr.. Hewetson has had considerable experience in
newspaper work. After graduating from college he
was engaged with the New York Tribune and other
high-class newspapers. Later he was an occasional
contributor to leading magazines. Through his liter
airy work he was offered a position as professor OF
English in college, and for eight years was head Of
the English department Of Westminster College,
near Pittsburgh. He was one OF the first men to en-
ter Anti-Sa1oon League work. He campa1gned against
the saloon back in Ohio with Wayne B. Wheeler, L.
C. Dinwiddie and others when the League was win
ming its spurs.
Mr.. Hewetson attracted the attention of the Hi
nois Anti-Saloon League in the successful campaign
managed at Freeport, Illinois, when that city voted
dry last April. His organization and publicity work
is given much of the credit for the victory.
We are glad to introduce Mr.. Hewetson to the
Anti-Saloon League constituency of Illinois and be-
speak for him the hearty cooperation of those inter
ested in the warfare in this state.

Alcoholic Liquor and Mining

At the last election two important mining states, viz, Ari-
iona and Colorado, went dry. This was no great ground for
surprise, the incompatibility of whisky with efficient work in
mining has long been recognized. Indeed, mine operators in
Arizona, Colorado and Montana have lately been emphatic in
deploring the evil tendency of the saloon upon the economics
of the industry, especially in increasing liability to personal &C
cidents and decreasing working efficiency. The direct waste OF
resources, the absence of thrift and the high cost of policing are
further results to the community that may be traced to alcohol
in a more or less degree, chiefly more.
John V. N. Dorr, a distinguished mining and metallurgcal
engineer, has furnished, in a letter to the Evening Post, some
concrete evidence as to how this question is now regarded in
Colorado, quoting from a communication received from a large
machinery house in Denver as follows:
Ii was indeed remarkable to find how strong the vari-
Gus confirming companies were in favor of Prohibition
after having had a year of it under the federal authorities,
who enforced the laws and made the coal-minng camps abb
Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. had announced to its employees
that it was in favor of having the state go dry, and we have
talked to a great many operators who called at Our office,
and, one and all, they have agreed that the men were doing
about Is per cent better work per dollar of wages paid to
them and that their families were in much better condition
than when liquor was sold. On election day and the day
before it. the coal companies had a great many of their
men out on the street talking Prohibition, and | don't think
I ever heard a better argument down the line in favor OF it,
simply on account of the better work that surrounded them.
This evidence is exactly in line with the experience in the
manufacturing cities of Massachusetts, nearly all of which for

drinking and dancing till the small hours of the morn
ing.
"In many of these dance halls" says the editor
of the Chicago Tribune, women OF the streets, pros
titutes, have their hangout. 1t is they who start the
procession from the waxed floor to the barroom. y x y
The panderer and procurer sets these underworld Wo-
men up for innocent working girls to follow. Here a
lady drinks highballs, why should not they drink and
be as smart and fashionable as the LADY,"
When it is remembered that these resorts are not
confined to the slums, but are scattered lnd1scr1m1n-
ately throughout the city, the problem of regulation
becomes appalling. The truth is, the American sa-
loon, like Phaeton's steeds, soon gets beyond the con-
troll even of its keepers.
The figure just used is suggestive for it indicates
the only practical way of getting rid OF the drink evil.
According to the classic story, Phaeton asked permits
sion of Zeus to drive his fathers chariot-the Sun.
But being unable to manage the fiery steeds, he was
slain by Zeus with a thunderbolt, to prevent the
whole earth being set on fire.
We commend this story to the National Brewers
Association. And we commend to it also these words
from the Liquor Dealers Journal:
ultimately all questions must be settled by
moral standards; only in this way can mankind
be saved from se1f-effacement. The liquor traffic
cannot save itself by declaring that government
is incapable of coping with the problem it pre-
SCENTS. When the people decide that it must go,
it will be banished."

GOAT GETS COPS GOAT
AND LAW CAN'T STOP IT
Police Have "Billy" in Captivity,
But What Can They DoP

buC WnaC Can Iney OOE
Enlightenment is needed Immediately on
the law pertaining 70 goats.
Tho police of the 10th and Buttonwood
streets station have mutinous Billy on
their hands, and don't know what to do
with 1t. He was arrested today by Po-
llcenan Ambrose assisted by Policemen
WecSesser and Halues and Sergeant
Cavanaugh, on the charge of vagraney
and malicious mischief
"Biny" was wandering down Ninth
street eating peanuts. old pants In front
OF secondhand stores, and Christmas
wreaths for dessert. When the goat was
arrested he was arguing with Ninth
street trolley car, much TO the disgust
of the motorman.
The four policemen got him into the
station house after zlgzag chase which
covered fully half n mile.
When "Billy" was placed in a cell, the
turnkey forgot to lock the door, so the
goat went up stairs and started to eat
the bed covers on the sleeping cops. for
breakfast.
He was then taken before Magistrate
Belcher. The Magistrate and the police
decided to send the prisoner to City Hall.
But when the City Hall police were called
up they refused to receive "Biuy"
Then the societies for the prevention OF
cruelty to animals were communicated
with and the police were emphatlcally
told that they could not turn the goat
loose, especially in view of the high cost
of living.
The Magistrate is in a quandary. 1--WE
can't keep him here" he said, 1--WE can't
send him to City Hall and we certainly
cannot let him run wild on the street"
Billy was given a normal goats break
fast while n further conference was held.
It Is probable that the City Solicitor
will have to be sought regarding the dis
posal of the peculiar prisoner
