science so tryannizes over them
that they have no real pleasure

FIT FOR CITIZENSHIP
Porto Ricans Accept Prohibitions

Bartenders Now Lectur-
ing for Temperance

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat in
discussing the effect Prohibition
would have upon the people of Porto
Rico and other island possessions of
the United States, including those re-
Gently purchased from Denmark,
points to the fact that these people,
whom it terms Equatorial Ameri-
cans" look at this question from a
different viewpoint than that of the
citizen of the states. The Globe
Democrat says:
These people see no moral wrong
in drinking because the horrors of
drunkenness do not appall them for
the reason that they never get drunk,
and yet it may nevertheless be that
we can Americanize Our tropical pos
sessions to our own pointsof view.
Thus, in Porto Rico. where there Is
now great enthusiasm over the newly
acquired citizenship, the Prohibition
clause of the organic act is being ac-
cepted in good spirit. Tt.is reported
that in the town of Caguas two native
barkeepers have taken the lecture
platform for Prohibition.
And yet some Senators doubt that
these people are capable of becoming
real Americans.

Golfers Weekly prints the follow

have been looking over the
statement for the month of January
this year and have compared It with
January a year ago. The reason for
taking that month was that it was the
last year the Legislature was here
with its attendant crowds OF hangers
on. In making the comparison I was
delighted to see that the increase foi
this year over the preceding year ag-
eregated $4,000. My business is grow
ing every month. People are coming
in larger numbers. The loss of the
LIQUOR revenue is seen in the increased
business-it Is more than offset. The
change has done me world of good
in a business way. There is another
thing: the same element that could
be formerly seen here In large num-
bers, often coming into the hotel and
making things disagreeable in loud
talk and profanity, appears to have
forsaken the city. ! hope they have
gone for good.

RUM AGENTS INDICTED
Accused of Violating Kenyon
Law; District Attorney Seeks to
Stop Shipments of Intoxicat-

Indictments against 70 liquor agents
of Mercer county, Pa, have been OBJ
tanned by District Attorney Rowley,
proceeding under the Webb Kenyon
federal enactment. The proceedings
started by Mr.. Rowley are attracting
wide attention, as the successful pros
ecution of the cases will affect every
county in the state made dry by ju
dicial decision.
Mercer county has been dry for
nearly two years under decisions of
President Judge J. A. McLaughrey.
In that time numerous liquor agencies
have sprung UP throughout the coun-
ty, and large quantities of liquor have
been shipped in from Youngstown,
Ohio, and distributed by agents of
Ohio firms.
All sideboard clubs in the county
have been closed by the vigilant at
tention the district attorney has given
to their prosecution.
All liquor agents indicted will be
tried at the term of court now in ses.

GETTING THEIR EMOTIONS MIXED
By A. w. Perkins

Between the hope that the Reed
amendpent may make Prohibition
unpopular and their greed for the
money they think they can make by
backing blockade runners" the booze
barons are in a terrible stew.
The Tom Gilmore strategists, sur
prised by the promptness of Congress
in accepting the bone-dry challenge,
protested at first to believe that Pro-
hibition would now be destroyed by
the men who have heretofore sup
ported it but who want liquor for
themselves.
More recently, their attitude is
changed to speculation about ways
and means to get around the federal
law. Even Gilmore's own whisky
magazine, Bonfort's Circular, talks
profusely about how easy it will be
to outwit Uncle Sam, buy or bam-
boozlc local officers, and make mil.
lions by selling cheap whisky at
fancy prices to thirst-crazed citizens,
the wet theory being that the aver
age man gives more thought to the
subject of his next drink than to any
thing else in the world.
How will it be possible" asks Bon
forts, FOR the United States to pre-
vent the running of automobiles from
wet into dry states along the thou
sands of little roads that cross the
borders? The average indi-
vidual will gladly pay extravagant
prices for WHISTLES. There
are hundreds of millions of dollars
that will be offered as premiums on
the violation of the bone-dry laws"
Naturally, the booze barons want to
get their hands on those Hundreds of
millions of dollars" at any price which
will leave them with whole hides and
a cash profit. The only real restrain
ing influence is fear-fear of Prohibi
ton and fear of break in their
boosted partnership with the govern
ment if they arc caught in evasions
of the law. Fear and greed, the basest
of emotions, are making finish fight
for control of business already sod
den and corrupt, ruled by self-interest
and ready, any minute, for lawlcss-
ness and treason.
