Vets For Windle
Windle Fer Vets

Charley Windle is continuing his
work for the VETS. In the near future
he is billed TO speak in Chicago. a
letter advertising the meeting sent to
the Champion OF Fair Play states that
Windle's lecture is being promoted i'll
every city in the United States. The
books OF the Cook County Liquor
Dealers Association show that 100
tickets to this lecture were bought by
the liquor dealers, and a voucher
drawn in payment OF the same. The
title of Windle's lecture is Temper

he and the liquor dealers who support
his lectures really desire is not tenn
perance, but unrestricted legal right
to make all the money they can out
OF the commercialized alcohol indus

TOO DRY FOR HIM

Senator Bailey of Texas has for
saken the Democratic party because
the party is now too dry for him. 1t
makes him feel like fish out of wa
ter. In explaining his stand, Bailey
defines personal liberty'as the right
of every man to do for himself and
with his own whatever he pleases SO
long as he does not interfere with the
right of other men to do the same. y
For example, so long as one automo-
bile thief is perfectly willing to have
competition in the auto stealing busi-
ness, his liberty to sell automobiles
should not be interfered with. All who
believe in this principle are invited to
join Joe Bailey in organizing per
sonal liberty party

Commonwealth of Virginia, Office of
State Commissioner of Prohibition
Richmond, \ a, April :, 10

Richmond Va, April :, 1910.
The experience of Virginia has
demonstrated, think will be very
generally conceded by all real friends
OF Prohibition and even by fair-mind-
ed men who opposed Prohibition, the
wisdom OF creating such a department
with the entire thought and energy
OF competent man concentrated
upon this important. vexatious and
delicate branch OF law enforcement.
The friends OF the liquor traffic, OF
whom there are still many in our
midst, are, OF course, antagonistic to
this department, as they have been,
and will continue to be toward every
movement designed to restrict the
distribution and use of ardent spirits.
Restricted in its activities by
very moderate appropriations, espe-
cially at period when everything
was abnormally high, the department
has had to be conducted with a COM
paratively small staff. Notwithstand-
ing this fact, we have been able with
the cooperation Of the local officials
in most of the sections of the state
10 make the enforcement of Prohibi-
ton so effective as to win to the sup
port of the law great numbers of
thoughtful and prominent men in ev-
cry part of Virginia who opposed
Prohibition with earnestness and
vigor. During the second year,
under Prohibition from November /,
l917, to November |, 1918, there were
considerably more prosecutions for
violations of the Prohibition law, but
a falling off in the number of writ
ten complaints coming in from vari-
Gus localities. The fines imposed
during this year amounted to $lOl,-
800. or largely more than the total
cost of operating the department

Commissioner of Prohibition.

Was it unfair TO the soldiers in
France for America TO complete the
process of accepting for the entire
nation the standard of sobriety accept
ed by the soldiers during the war?
Was it unfair to the boys for America
to pass law which will save two bill

dry amendment TO our constitution,
made it one Of the duties OF the food
and drug commission to assist the To-
cal officials in their work. Our law
has been in operation eleven aud one
hall months and VIC have found plenty
to do.
The needs OF the local officials that
we have had to fill have been:
First the services OF Investigators
who we're not known in the local COM
munity and who had had training
along this line
rs.A.sS 6asss<f i c!.xrr:Sa! sxa.,'st rand ox
pert testimony as to alcoholic content
Of different beverages.
Third, men and machinery to ar
range cooperation between county
and state authorities also county and
federal authorities, and all OF these
together.
Fourth. system OF records so that
second offenders may be had as such
in all prosecutions.
Fifth. to furnish necessary forcc at
certain points in tie state where iiq-
uor would naturally come in, for in
stance, in Monroe county, between
Toledo, Ohio, and Detroit. In such a
locality as this the rush OF violators
would swamp the force at the disposal
of the local officials and overcome all
their law-enforcing machinery. This
condition prevailed, to certain ex-
tent. on the border between Wiscon-
sin and the upper peninsula of Michi-
gan In both cases we were able to
furnish the necessary men to enforce
the law.
Sixth, our department has develop
ed into sort OF clearing house. For
example, when a local law-cnforcing
official finds violation in his COM
munity, some part OF the transactions
of which extend over the county line
or, perhaps, into some other state, he
calls us up and we assign man to
take care of that part of his case
which extends outside his jurisdiction
and thus completes his case.
These arc a few of the ways in
which we have been able to help.
Each day opens new fields OF useful
ness.
The Legislature Of 1910, in view of
the experiences OF nearly a year of
operation of the law has increased
our force and extended our powers.
This action of the legislature was
taken mainly because the local Off
cials OF counties, cities and villages
have urged such action.
