Rotten Fruit and Whisky-Pink
Clouds and Black

Rotten Fruit and Whisky-Pink
Clouds and Black
A Chicago man bought some rotten
fruit. He reported to Health Com
missioner Robertson. The Commits
sioner said: at is an outrage. will
put out of business every fruit dealer
in Chicago who tries TO palm off de-
cayed fruit" 1t is said that he was
angered by reports that fruit dealers
were selling spoiled fruit rather than
sustain loss by destroying it.
Every store caught selling rotten
fruit will be closed" he said.
How about the rotten whisky the
liquor people want to sell rather than
sustain loss by destroying it?
Rotten liquor has done more harm
than rotten fruit. Furthermore how
about personal liberty? If man
wants to buy couple of rotten
melons whose business is it? He can
take them or leave them. Maybe the
Chicago Tribune can answer.
Speaking of the Tribune, it recently
printed an editorial supporting the
health commissioner in its efforts to
abate the smoke nuisance. It said,
There is no reason why Chicago
cannot pass through the winter with
out the misery OF breathing coal dust,
of cinders sitting into every nook
and Granny, OF linen soiled and wo-
mems gowns ruined"
The Tribune has frequently said
editorially that if people wish to paint
the clouds pink by drinking liquor
they should have right to do so in
this free country. By the same logic
il great industries prefer to paint the
clouds black why not permit them
to do so. OF course there is the
misery of breathing coal dust and
the irritation of soiled linens and
ruined gowns. But careful exami-
nation OF the Tribune's news reports
reveals no cases of wife beating, auto
mobile accidents, divorce, murder or
other crimes because some one got
several lungs full OF smoky air. The
public cost of few men painting the
clouds pink is infinitely greater than
the public cost of painting the clouds
black.
Rotten fruit, smoking chimneys, and
Intoxicating liquors should all be
suppressed under the principle that
tho public good Is moro important
than private preference or profit.

U. S. Marshal Says
Public Must Heb
Enforce Dry Law

A letter by Cooper Stout. United
States District Marshal of the eastern
district OF Illinois points cut the inn
portance OF public cooperation in the
matter OF Prohibition law enforce
ment The letter was written to {.
Z. Dowdell, field secretary of the
Saloon League at Carbonate.
1t is as follows:
Complying with your request !
submit the following:
THE most important as we'll as the
most difficult phase OF the fight
against the illegal traffic in liquor is
now on. Those who feel that the De-
partment of Justice unaided by good
people generally will be able to finish
the job have little appreciation of the
activities of the illegal liquor traffic
in these troublous times.
The eastern district of Illinois is
composed of 81 counties and includ-
ing southern Illinois, with headquar-
ters at Danville, over which l have
had charge for six years past, has but
six field men. The Department oil
Justice does not appropriate money
for investigation. When our deputies
have to pay out their own money to
investigate attractions of the liquor
laws, the cause of law enforcement is
bound to suffer.
Formerly anyone paying SIS per
year tax to the internal revenue Office
at East St. Louis was exempt from
prosecution. Now the internal reve-
nue. office is collecting $500 each
from dealers operating in wet terri
tory and $1,000 each from those
operating in dry territory.
Under wartime Prohibition every
holder of a government license now
selling intoxicants is bootlegger
subject to prosecution. The facr that
licenses are being issued daily is suf-
ficient to show that bootleggers are
busy
THE cooperation of the Anti-Sa-
loon League as we'll as the public
generally will be appreciated"

WESTERN GRAPE GROWERS
NOT SUFFERING A LOSS

c. B. Bills, president of the Pioneer
Fruit Exchange, Sacramento, Califor-
MIA, said the other day that vineyard
lists are not experiencing the financial
ruin predicted in pre-Prohibition days
and added
Wine growers are selling their
grapes for the same price, and in
some instances higher prices. than
they received in past years. The
fruit Is shipped East for grape
juice purposes and for the manu-
facture of non-alcoholic wines.

/ The New York Excise Depart
nent will grant liquor licenses for
the four months, from October to
January inclusive, on the payment of
third of the annual tax for such
license, according to an announce
ment of August "a. Any dealer pos
sessing license at present will be
allowed to purchase the new part
time" certificates when present per-
nits expire on October /. 1t was
further provided that the four
months licenses may be obtained
without the previous filing of notice
of intention. Last year the Excise
Department placed in effect rule
that in order to obtain license it
was necessary to file, before August
Is, notice of intention to take out
another license in October.
The "part-time" license will tech
nically be good until January 81,
1920, because the Excise Depart
ment does not accept taxes covering
part of month. Actually, however,
they will become void on January 10,
when the Eighteenth Amendment
becomes operative.
There is good deal of dissatis-
faction among the saloonists con-
corning the license situation. They
are wondering why it is necessary
to obtain liquor sellers license to
sell Misunderstanding drinks. They
say that they were told by the brew
ers that 275 per cent is a non-intoxi-
cant, and if it is, they argue that it
ought not to be necessary to have
liquor license in order to sell it.

There was, however, but one which
caused apprehensicn-that which

ration shortly after four o'clock in
jured several workmcn and started
fire in one of the shops. 1t was
at first supposed that the tire-ti@ht-
ing devices and men at the plant
could cope with the situation, but
when the employees started to work
they maze the alarming discovery
that, for some reason, they could not
obtain a sufficient uupply of water.
The Alexandria iremen with their
apparatus soon appeared and labored
heroically, but they, too. were handi-
capped by the scarcity Of water. The
tide was abnormally low by reason
of the fierce northwest wind which
had prevailed during the previous
twenty four hours, and message
was sent to Washington for assist
ance. The Fireiighter, the steamer
used BY the authorities of the District
of Columbia to fight hlazes on the
river and river front. was dispatched
TO this city and two fire engines
came over the road. and with their
assistance the fire was kept from
spreading 60 any great extent.
