POPULATION DECREASING

Editor Jersey City Journal:

Editor Jersey City journal:
The latest official estimates made
by the United States Census 5u-
reau show that the Prohibition
States are rapidly decreasing In
population.
AIabama's population lis estI-
mated to be 10000 less than In
1910; Georgia, 10000 Iess; Kan
sas, $4,000 less; Kentucky 260,ooo
less; South Carolina, 10000 less;
Maine, 10000 less; Mississippi,
100000 less; North Carolina, $4,000
less; Tennessee, 10000 less; WIr-
eInIa, 10000 less. Every one Of
these states is suffering under the
banefuI yoke of prohibition.
On the other hand, most extra
ordinary Increases are reported.
New York Is accredited with 2,ooo,-
600 increase in the seven years;
Pennsylvania with a growth of H.
100000, Illinois with 1,5oo,00 Ohio
with 100000, Connecticut with
65o,ooo, or 90 per cent Increase.
These are all "Wet" states.
As we have had very large I'M
migration from Europe during the
greater part of the last seven years,
IL 10 reasonable TO assume that the
people who no longer found condl-
tIons of life toerable In the "dry"

The Governor of 'bone-dry" Nebras-
"a aAs decided to take hand in the
suppression OF bootlegging IN Omaha,
where illicit sales are rapidly becom-
ing a serious menace. Local officials
were called into conference with the
state executive and the situation was
considered. A special dispatch from
Lincoln to the Omaha (Neb) Bee
says:
Bootlegging in Omaha must stop.
Governor Neville after a confer
ence with Omaha and Douglas county
officials, made the announcement this
afternoon Officials conferring with
the governor, at his request, were:
Mayor Dahlman, County Attorney
Magney, Chief of Police Dunn, Street
Commissioner Parks, City Attorney
Fleharty, Prosecuting Attorney Nc
CURE Sheriff Clark and Deputy Sher-
iff Foster.
Raids Tipped of.
Omaha patrolmen are charged with
tipping off raids to places to be raided,
according to charges made by some of
the men visiting the governor.
They made no specific charge, but
said that under the city civil service
rules, policeman could not be fired
without taking the matter to the
courts, and this was responsible for
lack of cooperation by the policemen,
who knew that their jobs were secure.
Two municipal judges, who have
been too lenient in assessing punish
ment to offenders. also were blamed
for the lack Of efficient enforcement
Of the law. Governor Neville told the
officials that If they could not remove
officers for failure to perform their
duty, he believed he could and should
do so. On request of the governor,
the officials met with him In order
that a conference might be had and
that there might be hearty co-opera-
ton by the county and city officials
with state officials in cleaning up the
bootIeggers.
A special investigator for the state
has been at work on the prohibition
conditions, obtaining information
which resulted in the meeting. The
investigator reported that he bought
liquor In many places.
Governor Neville let it be under.
stood he expected results at once.
