CALLS HIM Selfish HOG
That Is Term Applied to Saloon
keeper; Says He Cares for
Nothing So Long as He
Makes Money

Judges Finletter and Martin. in Ii
eensc Court at Philadelphia, Pa, re-
buked Louis Freedman, a saloon
keeper, who sought to have them
modify their order closing his saloon
from April 10 juno |. Freedman
explained that he had closed his up
stairs room" and cabaret, and thought
this concession should mitigate his
punishment for law violations.
In rejecting his pleas Judge Fin
letter commented:
He has not the slightest regard for
the rights of others. He is thick
skinned, mulish and stubborn. He is
just a selfish hog, who doesn't care
how many other people suffer, just
SO he makes money.
Judge Martin made it plain that un-
less the court knew affirmatively that
the saloon was actually closed for the
two months Frecdman's place would
remain closed permanently.

GREAT BRITISH
TURISTS ON DRINK

Lord Coleridge: "The shortest way
of shutting up half our gaols, and di-
minishing the mass of our criminal
population, would be to make Eng
land sober. Drunkenness tends to
crime, and increases the expenditure
of the sober people of this country"
Justice Hawkins (Lord Brampton):
"Nine-tenths OF the crimes in the cal
endar seem to have been committed
under the influence OF intoxication."
Judge Rentoul: Several of our
greatest Judges have stated that 90
per cent of all the crime they have
tried arise from drink ] can say ex-
actly the samc--but | have found the
evils arising from drink greater in
the Civil than in the Criminal Courts.
The unhappiness, poverty, hatred and
ill-will arising from the amount of
money spent in drink by some mem
bers of the family are worse in their
effects than actual crime, and I speak
with equal experience in both courts"
Justice Kay: "Intemperance has de-
stroyed large numbers Of people, and
will, at the present rate of increase,
in time destroy the country itself.
Intoxicating drink is totally unneccs-
sary"
Justice Grantham: Twelve MUIR
ders, IS attempts at murder, and
woundings without number, that were
just as likely to have ended in muir
DER have been mine and my brother
Judges daily fare for the last four
weeks in one circuit; and in almost
every case drink was the cause"
Justice Mellor: at is the duty of
all who value the prosperity of the
country to strive to diminish and put
an end to this vice of drunkenness,
and in doing this they must not be
too nice about it."
Justice Fitzgerald: "The crying and
besetting crime of intemperance-a
crime leading to nearly all other
crimes-a crime which I might very
we'll say leads to ninetcen-twentieths
of the crimes of this country"

STILL MORE RESTRICTED
French Military Authorities Find
Themselves Obliged to Take
Strenuous Met h DDS
Against Alcoholism

The Paris spondent of the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION reports further measures
taken by the military authorities for
the suppression of alcoholism Here
tofore, penalties were lacking the re-
strictions decided upon by the mill
tary authorities Now law has been
passed making attractions of the mill
tary orders punishable the same as
infractions of laws made by the ad-
ministrative authorities. The same
penalties will apply to giving alco-
holic liquors to soldiers.
1t has been found necessary also
to prevent the danger of alcoholism
among the foreign born military or
colonial workers on service or pass
ing through Marseil1es region. The
commanding general of that region
has decided that the sale of wine, and
in general of all alcoholics, even
those of test less than % degrees
is prohibited.

REJECTS LIQUOR OFFER
American Press Association Refuses
to Take Booze Publicity in It's
Patent Sheets; Promptly
Turns Down Proffer

From the American Press for
March "a, the weekly organ of the
American Press Association, we learn
that the National Liquor Dealers
Association tried to secure the circu-
lation of much of the printed matter
being given free, express prepaid, to
the rural newspapers of the country
by way of the American Press Asso-
citation and that that association
promptly rejected the liquor dealers
offer.
1t is said, however, that it was ac-
cepted by the Western Newspaper
Union, printing concern which sup
plies patent inside material to num-
Der of weekly and small number
of daily newspapers. 1t is to the
credit of the American Press Asso-
citation that it refused to be a party
to attempting to mislead the people
on the liquor issue.

Would Move State
Capitol to Chicago
Vets Would Vent Ire on Dry Spring
field by Changing Location of
State Capital and State Fair

The Chicago and Peoria liquor in
terests are mad at Springfield for vot-
ing dry. They propose to get their
revenge by removing the state capital
and the state fair to Chicago and
Peoria. Senator Herlihy and Repre-
ssentatives Fieldstack and Frank
Ryan, all of Chicago, have introduced
bills to that effect in the Senate and
House.
There is no prospect of either of
these bills passing. Their only effect
will be to show the intolerance of the
liquor interests toward any comnun-
ity which does not submit to their
dictation.
Commenting upon their efforts, the
Peoria Transcript we'll says:
1T is this brand of petty rcprisal
which has brought down upon the
heads of liquor lobbyists the contempt
of liberals as we'll as the anathema of
fanatics"

they can become American citizens,

Judge Lands ruled that because
they had violated the Sunday closing

Illicit Liquor in
Wet and Dry States

The total number of gallons OF
spirits reported for seizure" in Pro-
hibition states during the fiscal year
1916 was 1869 gallons, while in the
states where license prevailed there
were 10000 gallons reported for
seizure" This indicates the relative
importance of the stills seized In wet

gallons reported for seizure" in any
one of the states of Illinois, Ken

the old saloon had been accustomed
for many years to cash pay checks for
lumbermen and other workingmen
after they had been paid off. Some
times they left their money on de-
post with him, and he paid them
interest. But especially, he cashed
numerous checks daily, and after the
custom of such accommodations, he
included in the cash single 10 cent
beer or whisky check to be spent in
the house. When Prohibition came
this man decided to become banker
The 1umbermen still brought him
their checks to cash, and he still gave
them the coin, holding out 10 cents
to be applied in trade. Only now
that 10 cents was to be regarded as a
saving deposit, and he gave each
man a bank book with a 10 cent
credit entered i'll ink.
"The scheme worked. The men
were pleased with the idea of having
a bank account, and they began to
leave larger sums on deposit when
they cashed their checks. They had
not been using banks before, but when
the saloon became bank they did
use it, and the proprietor is said to
be doing a prosperous banking bust

BABY WEEK and Drink
Cora Frances Stoddard


Right now for the next six weeks
all over the country, cities and towns
and schools will be observing Baby
Week. Over 1000 communities last
year devoted week to ronsing inter-
est in the saving of baby and child
life and in teaching how it could be
done.
This is one Of the opportunities that
should be seized to point out how
drink helps to cut off the babies. So
far, the Children's Bureau at Wash
ington has thought it cxpcdient to dis
regard this phase of the question. The
Bureau makes no recommendation
concerning it and offers no hint that
drink has anything to do with child
mortality. Local committees. how
ever, are willing and often eager to
include information on this aspect OF
child mortality if they know where to
obtain reliable material.
Here are some points to emphasize
in Baby Week.
Drinking parents on the average
lose more babies than sober parents.
More babies die in homes of ono,
two. or three rooms than where there
are four or more rooms. Drink cuts
into the rent money.
More babies die when the mothers
have to go out 10 work. Drinking by
the father compels thousands of moth
ers to help support the family.
More babies die in homes OF small
incomes--$10 a week or less. Drink
makes small incomes even smaller for
the support of the family.
Careless and ignorant mothers lose
more babies. The drinking mother is
generally careless about keeping the
baby warm, dry, and properly fed.
These and other points should be
emphasized during this Baby Week.
in the thousands of towns and cities
that are making plans for it.
Poster material and leaflets on the
subject should be offered the Com
mittees CT Arrangement. In the adj
vertising columns of this number of
The American Issue will be found a
list of publications admirably suited
for this purpose.
This is splendid opportunity to do
temperance educational work with
fathers and mothers who, perhaps,
could not be interested or even
reached in any other way.
Let this slogan for the next six
weeks be heard in thousands of cities,
towns and harnlets all over the coun-

WET NOW; ARRESTS IN
CREASE

Beginning April 2, the second
year of the return of licensed sa-
looms to New Castle, Pa, was
started. With the completion of
the first year under the wet
regime the police records show
a startling condition.
During the year beginning
April /, 1916, and ending April
l, 1917, there were nearly 4,400
arrests in New Castle, most of
them for drunkenness, the dock
ct at the police station shows.
For the corresponding months,
during the preceding year, the
last under the saloonless regime,
there were 1,41o arrests, and in
the year previous to that, 1910
arrests.
This shows that during the
first year of the return of sa-
looms to New Castle and Law
renee county, there were more
than three times as many ar
rests as under dry conditions. It
is said that since the city has
gone wet the law is not very rig
idly enforced, with respect to ar
resting drunks.
