Irish Boycott of
Orange-Ulster Is
Making Erin Dry

Dublin, Ireland, Feb. 1S.-The boy
colt of all things made in Orange
Ulster" or by Orange sympathizers,
is having its first notable results on
the porter (beer), and whisky indus
try, and Ireland may soon be bone
dry.
In fact i. is likely that Ireland will
be the first European country to
adopt Prohibition, the results OF the
recent municipal elections show. In
Dublin scarcely a single man con-
nected with the liquor trade has seat
in the new council, and similar re-
suits are reported all over the coun-
try.
This has been brought about largely
by the increase in the number oil
women electors, who, for the pur-
poses of the national boycott against
"enemy manufacturers" have shrewd-
ly singled out the great liquor inter
ests of Guinness, Jameson, etc, for
punishment in "the pocket nerve"
The above is from the Irish News
and Chicago Citizen, a journal devoted
to unit. and progress of the Irish peo-
pie. 1t gives an interesting and att
thoritative explanation of the recent
Prohibition developments in Ireland.

Newspapers Report
Northern Michigan
Whisky Rebellion
Instruction Reminder of Rum Up.
rising During Washington's
First Term

Newspapers on February 23rd and
24th published accounts OF rebellion
against Federal Prohibition officers in
Iron county, Michigan. 1t is stated
that the local states attorney, NJ. S.
McDonough, the local chief and cap
tain of police OF Iron River, Michigan,
and several deputy sheriffs prevented
a Prohibition agent from enforcing
the law.
Major A. Y. Dalyrymple, District
Prohibition Commissioner, with a
force OF men, as this is written, is re-
ported to have gone to Iron River
with a force of deputies to suppress
the rebellion
The local states attorney is quoted
as saying that there is no ground for
the statement charging him and
others with open defiance of the law.
From reports now at hand it is inn
possible to tell how much truth there
is in the newspaper stories.
II Is probable, however, that the re-
bellion will not assume any great or
serious proportions. Whatever the
facts may be it is interesting that this
so called rebellion was reported on
the day the nation celebrated Wash
ington's birthday during whose term
of Office the first whisky rebellion in
our nation occurred.
The Chicago Daily News printed
the following news account of the
whisky instruction during Washing
tons first term:
THE outbreak in Michigan is prob
ably the first of its kind in this coun-
try bearing resemblance to the his
toric whisky rebellion of George
Washington's first term, when bands
OF farmers in western Pennsylvania
took to arms to resist the excise taxes
designed by Alexander Hamilton.
They rallied in protest against the
Federal law of l7ol, tarred and feath-
cred the tax collectors and visited
similar treatment on citizens who
sympathized with the new law.
Hamilton, at the request OF Congress,
made some notifications in the law.
In 1894 violence broke out again and
late in that year President Washing
ton. with patience exhausted, called
out $4,000 militiamen under General
Henry Lee of Virginia who sup
pressed the outbreak.
Historians have recorded the in
cident as one of the most significant
OF Washington's acts, which had a
profound effect in strengthening the
new and weak government aud deua-
onstrating to Euro he newly
create Unio. was rysrsf9d to pre-

News reports also state that
immigration to this country is

Taxicabs Busy
in Dry Chicago
Company Reports Great Business
Increase

The taxicab business was at or near
the top of the list of those the VETS
predicted would be ruined by Prohi-
bition.
Now the fact of what actually hap
pened can be compared with what the
vets fancied would happen. This
from the Chicago Evening Post tells
the story:
Despite six months of Prohibition,
orders for Yellow taxicabs showed a
marked increase during the last year,
according to report just issued by
the company.
December proved the heaviest
month, with a total of 1l0,836 orders
The average was 3,575 day, or l4o
an hour--based on a 24-hour day
During the rush hours they came in
at the rate of five or six a minute.
During last month the business more
than doubled over that of January,
1919.
The company looked forward to
the approach of July / with some
anxiety, but when the months bust
ness was figured up it was seen that
the number of orders over the previ-
Gus month had actually increased by
about 5000. They have shown an in
crease every month since. This, of
course, means larger earnings for the
drivers, who not only receive salaries
and commissions, but share literally

Milwaukee Fiiremen
Do Better Work Now
Coffee Beats Beer as Help to Fire.
Fighters

Here is dry story from Milwaukee.
This should make it doubly interest
ing. If it is admitted in Milwaukee
that the dry law has done SO much
good Prohibition certainly must be a
success. What follows is from the
Milwaukee fWis.) Sentinel:
Even before whisky went out OF
fashion as cureall for ailments, fire.
men learned that cup of hot coffee
as a stimulant after exhaustive work
at a fire was better than drink OF
schnapps,' declared Thomas Clancy,
chief of the fire department, on Sat
urday.
ct is too soon after the enforce
ment of alright Prohibition to make a
detailed comparison OF the efficiency
OF the men of the department, under
the dry wave, as compared with their
work OF 1918, for instance.
Fewer Men on Carpet
However, we have had fewer men
on the carpet for offenses due to
drinking since July, 1919. than ever
before.
I'm the old days the occasions
when a man was disciplined for miss
ing run because his head was too
heavy to enable him to wake up i'll
time, were numerous. Since July only
one case has been reported.
Chief Clancy also declares that
the punctuality OF the men has notice
ably incIeased within the last few
months.
Efficiency Increases
AZ am not able to make a state
ment showing the increase or decrease
of wastage and breakage, as yet, said
the chief. But there have been fewer
complaints from the assistant chiefs,
and in general, more efficiency shown
lately than ever before.

Prohibition Closes
Two Chicago Courts
Judge Olson Credits Dry Law for
Crime Decrease
Chicago ribune)


Scarcity of whisky as stimuant
for petty crimes led, yesterday, to the
closing of two criminal branches OF
the municipal court-Iudges Graham
and Holmes being called in from the
north and northwest sides and as
signed to civil cases.
Announcement of the closing OF the
courts and the reason for it was made
by Chief Justice Olson, who says he
is neutral on the question OF Pro-
hibition.
Il have only today closed two out
lying courts in Chicago because of
the lack of business" he said. There
is no letup in civil litigation. Booze
or no booze, human nature is such
that people will squabble over civil
differences.
Fewer Wife Beaters
There is a gradual decrease of
business in all criminal branches in
all parts of the city. This is true also
of the specialized courts, notably the
Court of Domestic Relations, where
men who beat and abuse their wives
are brought to trial. The house of
correction a year ago had 1000 in
mates now it has 600.
I'VE must remember that we are
not clear out of the whisky zone. We
are passing through the period when
the cellar is supplying the deficiency
Next will come the wood alcohol
zone, then bay rum, toilet water, and
last kerosene, benzine and other sub
stitutes before we will get down to
real, honest Prohibition conditions.
Must Recast Plan
The branch criminal courts were
planned under regime OF booze and
we will soon have to recast the plan
for the criminal courts. One OF the
judges tells me that some policemen
are so anxious to keep up business
that they are ready to, bring in people
on the most trivial rumor, and the
Judge has to discharge them.
81 received in my mail today a let
ter from a citizen complaining that
people are seeking spite warrants to
disgrace and harass their neighbors
against whom they have some grudge,
and then do not appear to prosecute
THE police soon will be entirely
released from petty annoyances, and
be free to devote themselves to the
prevention and prosecution of the
more serious and prevalent crimes
such as housebreaking. holdups, theft
conspiracies to defraud, and murder

Used by the Idlehour program for the
next week.
On Sunday Wallace Reid presents
Hawthorne, u. S. A." which is said
to be one of the cleverest pictures in
which this popular star ever APP
peared. For dash, zip, pep, fast and
snappy action, it has no equal.
Imagine Wally Reid (Hawthorne)
and Harrison Ford travelling through
Europe in a delapidated old
car, looking for adventure, and
breaking the Bank at Monte Carlo.
Then discovering forlorn and pow
erty stricken Princess LILA Lee,
and saving her father and his king
dom from the terrible assaults of his
enemies! There is more fun to the
foot than in most any film you ever
saw.
Monday and Tuesday brings a
double program of special features,
Thos. II. Ince's new picture, Behind
the Door," featuring Hobart Bos
worth, and FATTY" Arbuckle in his
latest and funniest laughmaker, "The
Garage" Those who have seen "Be
hind the Door" report it to be beyond
question the most tensely interesting
picture they have evr seen, and with
the most startling climax ever at
tempted on the screen. Bosworth is
we'll known as one of the greatest
delneators of red-blooded, masculine
hero types The story is by Gouver-
neur Morris, one of the best writer's
of the day.
THE Garage" has been selected as
suitable contrast to the strong dra-
matte scenes of Behind the Door,
Arbuckle comedies seem to grow
more popular with each succeeding
release, due, no doubt, to the fact
that they are invariably clean and
wholesome, and each one seems fun
nier than the one preceding it.
There is at least one more attrac-
ton during the coming, week which
is worthy of special mention, Mabel
Normand in pinto" a comedy West
ern produced under the personal d.
rection of Victor Schertzinger, who
has directed the most successful of
Charles Rays pictures.
