MAKES A DIFFERENCE
PROHIBITION PROVES BAD FOE
BUSINESS OF JUDGES AND
JAIIKEEPEK,

Does prohibition prohibits, Through
out the country papers are publishing
figures on this for comparison. From
figures taken from the police court rec
ords of Little Falls it is evident that it
does as far as this city is concerned.
During July, 1918, there were in Lit
tie Falls II arrests on drunk and dis
orderly charges, one for using abusive
language and one fro driving a. car
while intoxicated.
During July, 1919, with prohibition
in effect, there were no arrests except
a pickup for desertion from the army
and one for non-support, the latter be-
ing an extradition case from Massachu-
setts.
At the county Jail the cell keys are
rusting from lack Of use. During July
of this year only two persons occupied
the Jail, one of these being the young
man held for desertion and the, other
one who was sentenced to a jail in
June. The jail is empty now. During
July, 1918, 20 persons were in Jail for
a day or more. According to the sher-
if g record there were seven robberies,
one murder, one assault and l3 drunks
during that month.
