FORMER HARVARD PROFESSOR
ON ALCOHOL AND CRIME
By O. G. Christgau

Liquor advocates hate to admit
that saloons cause crime. One of
their favorite pastimes is quoting sta
tistics comparing the crime records
of wet states and dry states. If they
find that some certain wet state re-
ports fewer arrests than some GER
tain dry state the figures are pre-
sented as positive proof that alcohol
does not increase crime. In the same
way it can be proven that Ty Cobb is
a punk ball player because Detroit
did not win the pennant.
The right way to judge ball play
er is by his individual record" The
right way to judge alcohol is by its
individual record" in connection
with crime.
Hugo Munsterberg, Professor of
Psychology at Harvard, whose death
occurred recently, gave the following
scientific explanation of the effect of
alcohol on the mind, showing how
drink causes crime:
"Why does the man rush to dan
gerous acts, and why is he unable to
connect his thoughts carefully and to
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1917-01-26

think of all the consequences, as soon
as his brain is poisoned by whisky?
1t means simply this: Alcohol has the
power of paralyzing in every brain
those centers which check and regu-
late the actions of the brain nerves.
The Psychologist calls such checking
influence Inhibition" and he would
say alcohol prevents the centers OF in
hibition from doing their work. In
every sober man plenty of impulses
come up, but he can inhibt them; if
the organism is poisoned by liquor
this inhibition fails and the impulse
rushcs to action. 1t is as if the SUI
pervisor has gone to sleep and all
the ideas and impulses do just as they
please without control and connec-
ton"
If the police should catch a fellow
going about disconnccting automobile
brake rods, they would call him a
maniac and send him to Jail But
when the people see fellow paralyz-
ing the checking influence in mems
minds they call him saloonkccper
and often send him to the City Coun-
Gil or the state Legislature.

DRINKING IN The MOVIES

A friend writes us protesting
against the drinking scenes in the
movies. 81 am inclined" he says, ito
think that in some plays, the liquor
interests pay regular royalty to the
actor for drinking wine in some scene
in his play
While we regret the prevalence Of
drinking scenes on the moving picture
screens, we think our friend is unnec-
essarily alarmed. Unquestionably,
there is too much drinking in the
movies, but the part usually played
by alcohol is that of the arch-villain.
Midas Criterion OF the Wine and Liz
uor Interests, after careful study of
this subject, has come to the conclu-

life of the community and has begun
to make itself felt as powerful force
for the greater and better Waukegan.
It has sown the seed OF the commu-
atty conscience, and the fruit is al
ready beginning to show. 1t is chiefly
responsible for the spirit of co-opera-
ton, and through it the thought of
altruism is growing into popularity.
When the thought is held by suf-
ficiently large proportion, The thing
will be general also. And this the
year has brought nearer.
"The man with a vi,ion has seen
the city vote out the saloons. And
in spite of the croakers, business was
never as good, and the growth for the
year has been far above normal. De-
spite official inactivity and incompe-
tence, the city has progressed more
under no-license for a few months
than it did for many years under Ii
cense.
"The attempt to take a backward
step in government by recalling the
commission form was decisively de-
feated. And the last great victory
coming during the last week of the
old year, and made possible only by
the many constructive things that had
gone before, was the creation of a
park district. Surely, Waukegan has
had a great year"

ECONOMY OF
PROHIBITION
Reduced Arrests Saved Virginia $40,
979 the First Month

For the practical man who insists
that the Prohibition question shall be
considered first in it's economic as
pect, there should be interest in one
phase OF the export of the first
months operation of the dry law in
Virginia, the Christian Science Mon
itor states. During the period mem
TONED the commitments to prison
were reduced to half what they were
during the previous month, and the
consequent saving to the state in cash
was $1,000. If in this respect alone
Prohibition saves Virginia something
like $250,000 a year, the man disposed
t@ put economics before morals ought
to be satisfied.

Waukegan Is a
Wide-Awake City
First Dry Year the Best in Its
History

That the assertion of wet newspa-
pers that Waukegan has gone back
under the dry regime is false, is
false, is shown by headlines which
appear from time to time in the Wau-
kegan papers, as for example:
Security Title and Trust Company
to Take on Wider Scope"
Machinery Company Just Closed
Best Year in Concerns History"
Erect Hotel Building Soon"
Growth During Past Year Has
Been Healthy"
MANY Factories Locating Here"
"Three-Story Block Planned by
Former Saloonkceper."
Commenting upon the prosperous
condition of the city during 1916, the
Waukegan Gazette says:
Another year passes into history
between shutdown Sunday and sunup
Monday. The progressive business
man of Waukegan finds as he bal
ances his books that it has been a
good year for him. While his ex-
penses have increased somewhat, his
sales have more than compensated
this. He finds that there is very
good balance on the right side of the
ledger.
"The working man finds, as he
takes account of stock, that it has
been a good year for him. Work has
been plentiful, and wages have been
the best he ever had. The cost of
living has been very high; but to off
set that, he has had no layoff, and
consequently he has been able to
close the year better than usual.
"The man with a vision for a
greater Waukegan is more than graf
flied as he looks back over the year.
Never since he dared to dream his
dreams of a good and beautiful city
on the lake, has he had as much to
encourage him. The Commercial
Association, which has been tried be-
fore and failed, and which was still
in the formative stages when the year
began, has established itself in the

sion that the liquor industry is suffer
ing greatly from the portrayal of
drinking scenes by the animated pho
tographs.
"The movies have made goat of
liquor" says Midas, "and they con-
tinue to make it greater goat-thc
granddad of all goats, and they go
unchecked. They say the people want
it. Well? No one says them nay.
x y What are we going to do
about the movie menace? That's its
name in capital letters. 1t is the sub
tie insidious back door gossip of the
industry, and it has made million
hammers, but not one solitary horn,
for the liquor business"

UNITED SOCIETIES A MENACE TO
GOOD GOVERNMENT In ILLINOIS
Claims Members and Pledges Candidates for Liquor Inter
Half of Chicago Saloonkeepers Members

The decision OF Judge Barasa last
week that saloons may keep open on
Sunday unless convicted of selling
liquor. has called attention to the
fact that Judge Barasa is vice presi-
dent of the United Societies Judge
Barasa was elected to the Municipal
Court bench last November. In its
endorsement of him, Home Rule, Of
fetal organ of the United Societies,
said:
"Mr. Bernard p. Barasa, our vice
president, has been in the front ranks
among the fighters for our cause for
a number of years. Every man
should cheerfully cast his vote for
Bernard p Barasa for Judge of the
Municipal Court"
Although it is claimed that Judge
Barasa's connection with the United
Societies had anything directly to do
with his decision, it is known that his
personal attitude toward the Sunday
closing law, like that of all other
members of the organization, is one
of unrelenting opposition.
United Societies Controls Many City
Officials
The extent to which the United
Societies has controlled the affairs OF
Chicago would surprise most people
in the city if it were generally known.
A majority of men elected to the
City Council were endorsed by the
United Societies. The chairman of
the license committee, Mr.. Toman, is
one of the officers of the society. A.
D. Weiner, another member of this
important committee, is one of the
vice presidents Practically all the
members of the Council license COM
mittcc are members also of the Unit
ed Societies. The chairmen of many
other Council committees are either
officers or members of the organiza-
ton.
The bailiff of the Municipal Court,
Anton Cermak, is the secretary of the
United Societies.
The majority of city officials, in
brief, have been in the past not only
endorsed but pledged by the United
Societies. The pledge which the
United Societies requires OF each can
didate endorsed by Ii contains, in
varying language, the following state

pecially declares that he is opposed
to Sunday closing"
THAT he is in favor of special bar
permits until 3 o'clock a. m"
That ne favors and will promote
in every way the objects for which
the United Societies were organized"
United Societies Liquor Organi-
cation
1t is a well-known fact that the
United Societies, while disclaiming in
public that it IS controlled by the
liquor interests nevol theless, con-
sistently and tenaciously fights the
battles OF the brewer, the distiller and
the saloonkeeper. In Home Rule for
March, 1916, it is admitted that ap-
proximately one-half of the saloon
keepers OF Chicago are enrolled as
members of the United Societies
The United Societies claims credit
for defeating the special bar permit"
and other anti-liquor legislation be-
fore the City Council.
1t pledges candidate, for the state
Legislature against Pr ,hibiton.
1t boasts that it is the implacablc
enemy OF "reformers," 'clergymen'
and women politicians"
Several bartenders' unions and
other liquor organizations are men,
bers.
The big personal liberty" parade
of little over a year ago, to protest
against the Sunday closing order of
Mayor Thompson, was organized
and conducted by the United Socie-
ties, aided by the brewers, distillers
and saloonkeepers.
