NEAR.BEER VENDOR TAXED $1,000
Pennsylvania Judge Asserts Brooks
Law No Longer Restrictive Legis-
lation

Last week the Philadelphia license
court granted about 100 transfers OF
liquor license. These licensees arc
supposed to sell nothing but near
beer; but in each case the applicant
will be obliged to lay out an annual
fee of $1,100. The situation which
some judges of the courts pronounce
as absurd and incongruous, empha-
sizes the fact that Pennsylvania must
have state enforcement code in har-
mony with the Volstead Code before
Prohibition enforcement is made a
success in that state. Judge Shu-
maker in an interview in the Public
Ledger, calls attention to the TACT
that the Brooks law under which
these licenses were granted and which
was originally intended as a restric-
ton law, has become under present
conditions an enabling law. He said:
1T is absolutely required under the
law that man have license to sell
any kind of liquor. In other words,
he needs license to sell, say beer
containing one-half of per cent al
cohol. That, it will readily be seen,
makes the Brooks law an enabling
act instead of the restricting law it
was meant to be. An honest man
should not have to pay $1,000 a year
to be able to sell beverages contain
ing one-half of per cent alcohol.
On the other hand, it is hard for a
person in his right senses to believe
that any honest man would pay such
a sum. Thus an absurd condition is
created by conflicting state and led
eral laws"
AS result Of the elections the next
Legislature will be drier than for
many years and the friends OF Pro-
hibition believe that an adequate en-
, forcement code will be enacted.

CANADIAN JURY FREES PASTOR
Shooting of Beverly Trumbull by
Rev. Spracklin Found Justifable
Homicide

Rev. ]. O. L. Sprackln was exon
Grated by coroner's jury on Novem-
Der 8, of all blame in the Staying of
Beverley Trumbull, proprietor of
Chapel House, Sandwich, Ontario.
The finding constituted justifiable
homicide and the pastor-inspector
was Immediately released. The YER
dict was:
We, the jury, find that Beverley
Trumbull came to his death by
bullet fired from an automatic
pistol by Rev. J. o. Spracklin,
license Inspector, in self-defense
about $50 a. m, November 6, i'll
the Chapel House, Sandwich.
Spracklin with other officers at
tempted to search Trumbulls hotel
for contraband liquor and, according
to testimony, the proprietor, Mr..
Trumbull, drew a revolver in all at
tempt to prevent the search.
The case attracted wide attention
throughout the province. The Crown
attorney, John H. Rodd, called atten-
ton of the jurors to the fact that
Spracklin as an Inspector had right
to enter and inspect at any time, a
public place under suspicion as a
place where intoxicants were being
dispensed. He then read paragraph
GO of the law:
Any officer, policeman, consta-
Bile or inspector, may for the pur- )
pose of prevention or detection
Of the contravention of any Of
the provisions of this act which
it is his duty to enforce, at any
time enter into any and every
part of any place of public enter

ments or liquors are sold or re-
puted to be sold, and may make

AGENTS SEIZE
TWO BARRELS OF LIQUOR

Federal agents raided an undertake
ing establishment in Philadelphia on
November 5 and seized two and a
half barrels of whisky. A hearse was
used at night to transport the liquor

saloon had been in operation for a
long time before the federal agents
became suspicious.

BAY State Voters KNIFE
The Beer. AND-WINE PROPOSAL
Liquor Sponsors Estimated Five Hundred Thousand Booze Ma
jority; Plurality Bare 5000 Liquor interests True to
Form, Worded Measure Most Confusingly

The returns on the beer and wine
amendment vote taken in Massa.hu-
sets show that the proposed amend
ment failed by at least 10000 to Sc
cure a majority Of the votes east.
On the face of the returns at this
writing the measure secured an ap-
parent plurality of about 5000, or a
little over one-half of per cent of
the total vote cast.
Prior to the election the liquor in
terests were predicting wet major
ity of between FIVE and six hundred
thousand.
The result of Tuesdays voting
shows the tremendous strides which
dry sentiment has made during the
past year. On the license vote a year
ago the wet majority was about
100000. Every city in the state but
one voted for license. On November
2 this year IS out of SO cities in
Massachusetts voted against beer.
Because of the form of the state
ment of the question which appeared
on the ballot the contest was made
much more difficult for the drys. The
question was confusing and involved
in its statement and the wording OF
it would lend a careless voter to i'm
agine that the act was intended to
regulate by way of Prohibition
rather than by way OF permission.
The beer question appeared on the

SENATOR WADSWORTH, WET,
RUNS BEHIND N. Y. TICKET
Harding Leads Liquor Champion
by More Than Half
Million Votes
VOTE TRADING HINTED
Anti-Saloon League Charg S
Most Gigantic Sell-Out
In All History

Senator Wadswoth of New York,
opponent of Prohibition and woman's
suffrage, was reelected by a vote
somewhere near half a million be-
hind the plurality of the president
elect. A study of the election returns
leads many to believe that the deal
which was reported to have been
made was carried out, namely, that
Democrat votes were traded to
Wadsworth for Republican votes to
the Democratic nominee for govern
or, Mr.. Smith,
The unofficial returns indicate that
approximately half a million Demo-
cratic votes were cast for Wads-
worth.
If this deal were consummated
Tammany got the worst of it for
Smith fell outside the breastworks,
while Wadsworth is returned to the
u. S. Senate where the drys are in
the majority, and Judge Miller who
defeated Smith is fearless champion
of strict enforcement of the Prohibit
tion law.
Here are the figures that give rise
to the suspicion that the alleged
trade deal was carried through,
Wadsworth, Republican candidate
for United States Senator, and Alfred
Z. Smith, candidate for governor,
were within fifty thousand votes Of
each other. Judge Miller, Republi-
can candidate for governor, ran half
a million votes behind senator Wads-
worth. Harry c. Walker, Democrat
ic candidate for United States sena-
tor, ran half a million votes behind
Alfred F.. Smith, Democratic candi-
date for governor.
There is plenty of additional evil
dence in the form of paper ballots,
half of them being straight DeVo-
cratic ballots with the exception of a
vote for the Republican senatorial
candidate Wadsworth, and the other
half being straight Republican ballots
save for vote on each one for AL
fred Z. Smith, Democratic candidate
for governor. These two sorts of
votes were the chief joke throughout
the night of counting in greater New
York City, it is said. Republican
heelers took unholy glee in calling
the attention of women watchers to
the Republican ballots marked for
Smith, and the Tammany henchmcn
serving as election clerks took pains
to call to the attention of the same
women the steady stream of Demo
cratic ballots with a vote in the Re-
publican column for Wadsworth. The
Anti-Saloon League calls it the most
gigantic sell-out and deal in the poll
teal history of the United States.
However, the election of Judge
Miller, whose election practically in
sures the enactment of strict en-
forccment code and the faithful car
rying out of its provisions, is hailed
as one of the greatest victories for
righteousness ever achieved by New
York voters.

And the following from the China
Press of October 9, which carried a
Wushi, Ku, date-line OF October J:
1.-TWO OF the leading mill owners in
Wushi, one of them a man WE'LL
known in the province, have bought
some machinery from a brewery that
has been closed down in America and
are bringing a brewery here. The
location OF the plant is near the foot
of the famous Dragon Mountain
which one sees from the railway Just
after passing Wushi on the way to
Marking. The men who are putting
up this brewery hope to have it in
operation within a year
These two press dispatches indicate
the necessity for the enactment Of the
bill which the Anti Saloon League is
asking, that will prohibit American
citizens from engaging in the BUSH
ness in those foreign countries where
extra territorial privileges are estab-
lished by treaties. Under such law,
American brewers in China could be
prosecuted for violation of the Eight
ecnth Amendment
The dispatches above do not say
that American citizens will be in
charge of these breweries. but the
probabilities arc that they will be. 1t
is burning disgrace upon America
that the same ship which carries
pianos sewing machines and other
useful commodities is carrying to
China brewery machinery salvaged
from outlawed plants OF America.
The Chinese are not yet enslaved
by alcohol, and for Christian America
to permit this enslavement by her
outlawed brewers would be an un-
speakable crime.
This is a matter that should receive
thoughtful consideration OF every
loyal American citizen. Christian
churches arc pouring money into
China in support of the effort to
evangelize the great Eastern republic.
How many missionaries will it take to
counteract the evil influence of one
brewery?
American drys, get behind this
movement to secure the enactment of
Federal legislation that will at least
help check this campaign of the
brewers in China.
