USES PERSONAL LIBERTY
Drunken Man Makes Beer Pail Do
Duty as Weapon on Unoffending
Neighbor

Frank Zirnn3ey was quietly cleaning
the snow off the pavement in front of
his house in Detroit when Nike Slo-
vic, already full of beer and going
after more, lurched over against Zim-
mey and struck him violently on the
head with the beer pail he had been
carrying in his hand. Zimmey re-
sisted the attack, but soon fell I'M
conscious. Erysipelas set in and in
the resulting dclirium the sick man
either walked or fell out of second
story window of his home.
There is little hope of the recovery
of the injured man, and the assailant
is held in $1,000 bond awaiting the
result of this exercise of his personal
liberty.

HITS SERGEANTS HARD
Absence of Liquor Traffic in Virginia
So Greatly Reduces Crime That
These Officials Cannot Make
Their Offices Pay

So effective is Prohibition in Vir-
ginia in cutting down crime that the
sheriffs and sergeants of counties and
towns are hard put to it to make
their offices pay. Crime has fallen
to such low ebb that the jails are
practically empty, and those in
charge of them are losing money.
P. H. Boisseau, city sergeant OF
Danville, said the other day that
since November his receipts have
fallen below his expenses in an ex-
tent that is rapidly becoming alarm
ing. On the day he was speaking
there were but 81 persons in jail,
whereas at the same time last year
there were 20, and the general aver
age before the Mapp law became eff
fective was between rs and 100.
The same condition applies over
the state generally.

ONE MORE CARD LEFT
Liquor Men of Indiana Will Seek "a
Have Dry Law Set Aside by
States High Court

The American Issue received a re-
port that Indiana's dry bill as passed
by the Senate had been concurred in
by the House on Saturday and pub
lished statement to that effect.
This was an error. The House con-
Cured in the Senate amendments on
Wednesday, February 7, and Gov
ernor Goodrich signed the same in
the executive offices the following
Friday at II o'clock. Prohibition is
now the law of the state. AS amend
ed the law will go into effect April 2,
1918.
The liquor people have only one
more card to play-that is the test
ing of the constitutionality of the
statute. This they have announced
they will do at once. There is no
likelihood at all that they will sue
coed in such an effort. The consti-
nationality of Prohibition laws has
been attested in score of states and
has been passed upon by the United
States Supreme Court. 1t is to be
expected, however, that the liquor
people will exhaust every resource
before acknowledging defeat.

PROHIBITION in WAR AND PEACE

Will the United States government
profit by the experience of the war
ring nations of Europe in dealing with
the liquor traffic? Everyone of those
nations has either restricted or pro-
hibited the sale of Intoxicating bever-
ages. The nquor interests objected
of course. They raised the specious
personal liberty" argument with
which the American public is now so
familiar. But this argument was ig-
nored by the governments of those
nations, which declared the Prohibi-
ton placed upon the sale of liquor a
matter of supreme military necessity,
and the people of those countries have
given unmistakable evidence of ap-
proving this policy.
Every argument for the Prohibition
of liquor in time of war applies to its
Prohibition in time of peace. In time
of military danger, alcohol is prohib-
tied because it lowers efficiency and
seriously undermines the health and
morals of soldiers and of workmen in
munition factories, shipbuilding yards
and other governmental agencies.
That it does the same in time of
peace, no one will deny.
The underlying principle of Prohi-
bition, and that which justifes it as a
public measure, is that the state has a
right to restrict the liberty of the in
dividual where such liberty is men,

MANY sALooNISTS INDICTED
Orders to Close up on Sundays Seem
to Have Been Ignored by Booze
Dispensers in New Orleans

Strict orders of the Commissioner
of Public Safety of New Orleans that
all bars must be closed on Sunday
seem to have been obeyed by a few
liquor dispensers, but ignored by
many more.
Among the indictments returned by
the grand jury on February 6 were
1o1 against saloonkeepers alleged to
have violated the Sunday closing law.
Prominent hotels and restaurants
were among the places whose pro-
prietors were indicted.
The recent orders were to the eff
feet that every bar and cafe must
close. Under thenew law hotels are
permitted to serve wines, but no other
liquors, with meals.

TO CHANGE BREWERY
Indianapolis Company Will Turn Its
Plant Into Cold Storage or Flour
Mill; Preparing for Pro-
hibition

Officials of the Home Brewing
Company of Indianapolis, Ind, are
considering tentative plans for turn
ing their plant at Cruise and Daley
streets into either cold storage sta
ton or a flour mill. Peter Laval,
President and Manager of the COM
pany, said representatives of the cold
storage interests of Chicago confer
red with officials of the brewery more
than month ago relative to making
a milk, butter and egg station of the
plant providing the Legislature at this
session voted Prohibition for Indiana.
The Chicago men pointed out to the
officials of the brewery that there is
no large cold storage plant in the vi
entity of Indianapolis and because of
the central location of their plant it
would be an ideal storage house. 1t
was said all the buildings of the COM
pany, which are modern brick struc-
lures, would need little remodeling for
cold storage purposes. The brewery
also has a modern ice plant capable of
producing 200 tons of ice day. The
wonderful rail facilities also is big
asset for a plant of this kind. they
said. Laval said nothing definite had
been decided and that it would be nec-
essary for a complete reorganization
by the companys' stockholders before
action could be taken.

efficiency always go hand in hand
with the man of temperate habits. He
said that employees of the company
who used to frequent saloons never
obtained the results that would have
had if they had dropped the habit.
He declared it to be unfortunate that
Pennsylvania is behind many other
states in abolishing liquor, but said
that liquor elimination is inevitable.
The speaker went on to show the
good results that have come in the
states that have adopted Prohibition
policy.

ace to the health and security of its
citizens. The state is applying this
principle in many directions. Quar-
antine laws, building ordinances, laws
against carrying concealed weapons,
against the sale of opium and other
dangerous drugs, are but few of
many restrictions which the govern
ment places upon the personal liberty
of the individual in the interest of the
public welfare.
Even the liquor interests, when
they are inclined to be fair, acknowl-
edge the justice of the principle I'M
DERIVING such laws, as the following
editorial from the American Brewers
Review will show:
"The so-called personal liberty ar
gument in behalf of alcoholic drink
loses more and more of its force.
Consideration of the public welfare
continues to grow and overshadows
the rights of the Individual. The
drink question must be fought out
upon ultimate foundation of morals,
hygiene and social order-in other
words, the public welfare. If the
public welfare requires the suppress
sion of the alcoholic drink traffic it
should be suppressed"
1t is precisely because "considera-
ton of the public welfare continues
to grow" that the Prohibition move
ment has assumed such vast proper
tons.

MUCH ALCOHOLISM IN
EUROPE
Man Who Says the Contrary

By Vance Thompson

"He who makes the statement
that there is no alcoholism in
Southern Europe speaks out of
deep ignorance. He has never
dwelt in the villages of Prov
cnce or wandered over the white
roads of Italy. One does not,
I admit, see so wild and mani
tested drunkenness as in the
harsh, northern, spirit-drinking
lands; but the southern drinker,
making up in quantity what was
wanting in the alcoholic
strengthen his beverage, reach
es the same stage of physical
impairment, begets the same
poisoned offspring, dies in the
same kind of alcoholic disillu-
sion."
