CHANGED THEIR MINDS

Three years ago the town OF Ossin-
ing, New York. voted wet by large
majority in a local option election
OF course the little city became dry
under Prohibition. The economic eff
fesSs of Prohibition are so pronounced
and so generally recognized that an
Ossining daily newspaper, in taking
a straw vote on The wet and dry
question, reports 800 votes for Pro-
hibition, with 16l opposing, and 10

MAKING AMERICANS

The following is from an ad-
dress by Mrs. Geo. Thacher
Guernsey, retiring president OF
the ID. \. K. at Washington,
D. C., on April 10Th:
ITO transform a foreign alien
into an American citizen is
something more than giving
man a new suit of clothes or
the woman a hat instead of her
flaming handkerchief which
covers her head. Emma Cold
man wore an American hat on
Russian head for twenty
years, and the other day sailed
back home against her will, still
wearing an American hat over
her unaltered foreign head.
What Americanism Is
ITO be an American is to
submit to the laws enacted by
the majority. To be an anar-
chist and a fool is to violate
the constituted laws of the land
and to boast that the laws
should be abolished because
such criminals as they will not
obey them"

Big City Papers
and Prohibition
Ghe Progress)


When the Prohibition cause en-
tered its decisive phase a dozen years
ago it was supported by only two
metropolitan newspapers, one i'll the
east and one i'll the west. And even
at the end of the fight its advocates
in this class could be numbered on
the fingers.
If the press failed to defeat Prohi-
bition, that was because it espoused
in the liquor traffic cause beyond
hope of success. Mere circulation OF
statements and arguments gives them
no weight; unless they have behind
them truth logic, verified facts, they
can not ultimately prevail. Newspa-
per readers i'll this enlightened day
are keen to detect self-interest, dis
tortion and fallacy. and, no matter
how widely the expressions OF such
things may be disseminated, they can
not overcome clear truth.-Philadel
phia North American, January p,

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS
Instead of Boosting Beer Declared fol
Strict Law Enforcement

There was a fresh outburst OF
mourning in the beer camp couple
of weeks ago when Missouri Demo
Gratis i'll state convention refused to
adopt a beer plank Wet politicians
were certain the convention would
not dsappoint them. One candidate
for governor advertised that he was
going to the convention to see that
such plank was adopted Missouri
was the home of the biggest brewery
in the country, and St. Louis is
pretty thoroughly soaked with the
stuff. But Missouri Democrats de-
clared for law enforcement instead OF
for beer in the following platform
pronouncement:
The Democratic party has from
its organization been the cham
pion OF individual rights, in so fan
as the exercise of such rights are
consistent with good government
and existing laws. Said party
has always been in favor of the
strict enforcement OF all laws,
either constitutional or statutory,
and we reiterate Our allegiance to
the principle of the strict enforce
ment OF all laws, both national
and state.
Don't blame the beer politicians for
using cuss words when the Missouri
Democratic convention is mentioned.

League Issues Statement

Upon receipt OF the news OF the
conviction of the Iron River bootleg
gers the legal department of the
Anti-Saloon League of Illinois issued
the following statement:

really big victories OF the last few
months and reflects great credit upon

Bootleggers' Hero of Iron River
In an editorial on April "a the Chi
oago Daily News had this to say OF
the man who was called hero" a
short time ago:
Prosecuting Attorney Martin 5.
MeDonough OF Iron county Michi-
gan, shone Respondent for little
time as one who somehow or other
was able to wave aside the Federal
Constitution and the statutes. This
was rather fine, from the point OF
view of all the bootlegging fraternity
and of gentlemen with perennial, in
growing thirsts that not even con-
stitutional amendment could allay.
But listen.
Even the prosecuting attorney of
Iron county, Michigan, it seems, is
not greater than the law. Though
he led the forces of Iron River against
Federal Prohibition Agent Grove,
who had oonfscated certain barrels
of wine from the far-famed Scalcucci
brothers, though he recovered those
many gallons of wet goods from the
officer and otherwise showed himself
the bootleggers' beau ideal, federal
court has presumed TO override the
majestic man OF Iron River The
three Scalcucci brothers have been
convicted and fined. McDonough's
advice, under which they acted in de-
flying the law, has been judicially pro-
claimed bad advice. McDonough
himself apparently will be lucky if he
does not find himself subjected TO
prosecution for alleged interference
with the enforcement of law.

maj. A. v. Dalrymple, whose &C
ton in going to Iron River and seiz-
ing and destroying the liquor in ques-
ton under the disappearing frowns
of the great McDonough has been
misreprcsented in various ways, ap-
pears from the evidence that was pro-
duced in court to have been abun-
dainty justified in all that he did. His
vigorous way of enforcing the law
furnishes a refreshing contrast to the
performances of Prosecuting Attor-
ney McDonough, the gasconading
bootleggers' hero of Iron River"

Labor Is Dry
East and West

! From the Atlantic to the Pacific la.
Dor is pleased with Prohibition The
vets make boastiul claims to the ef-
feet that working men are terribly
peeved because soft handed saloon
keepers are no longer legalized to &C
eept pay checks i'll return for alco-
holic poison. But whenever the
workmen speak for themselves their
verdict is against beer and wine.
These scoundrels may garb them
selves in overalls and pose as friends
OF the laboring men but the laboring
men know better.
This is from the Atlantic Coast. 1t
appeared in the New York American
Issue:
On the midst OF the varied express
sions Of opinion from different quar-
ters as to the attitude of the working
man toward the enforcement of Pro-
hibition, there comes some enlighten- 4
ing evidence along that line as a req
suit OF recent political survey mad(
by the Republican National Commit
tee, the following account OF which is
given in the New York Tribune of
March 81:
Recently there was completed for
the Republican National Committee
an informal survey OF the political sit
uation, with particular reference to
the attitude of labor toward the Re
publican and Democratic organiza-
tons and the effect OF Prohibition
among the toilers.
"Thc survey indicates that the
great bulk OF the wage earners are
satisfied with Prohibition and that if
the question were up again on a ref
erendnm they would vote dry, as the
greater percentage did before. The
survey indicates that the agitation for.
the speedy repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment is paid for by the liquor
interests, and that the wage earners
are conscious it is paid propaganda.
This from the Pacific Coast. 1t APP
peared in the California Liberator, the
official organ OF the Anti-Saloon
League:
american labor is finding out that
Prohibition is the best thing that ever
happened to it. As Water Front
Mike Doyle testified in the San Fran
cisco Labor Council; 4 have been
to Seattle and before Prohibition our
men didn't have no clothes to wear,
and now they're wearin' good clothes,
and they've got dress suit cases to
carry them in. and our women didn't
have no clothes. and now they're
wearin' good clothes, and our chill
dren are wearin' shoes And Prohi-
bition is the best thing that ever hap
pencd to Seattle. And | seen it.
And | amt afraid to say it. And [
amt no Prohbitionist either"
EXTRAl EXTRA! A report from
Texas states that the State Fedora
ton OF Labor voted 473 to 204 against
beer and wine on April %. That

Question of Search Warrants

Mai. Dalrymple has at no time
contended that homes might be en-
tered without search warrant, as has
been enormously reported. But the
conviction sustains the position that
violators of the law may be appre-
hended in places of business without
search warrant, the same as applies to
gambling or other felonies.
THE jury which convicted Seal
cucci brothers was fully advised as
10 all the facts involved in this case
and was further informed by proper
instructions from the court as to the
law, and with the facts and the law
as they were it was impossible for an
honest Jury to render a different YER
dict.
"The. conviction sustains the course
of Maj. Dalrymple in the Iron River
episode at every point and implies
that the prosecuting attorney of Iron
River, one Martin s. McDonough,
was guilty of felony in interfering
with the Federal Prohibition officers
in the discharge of their duties.
According to the reported opinion
of Judge Sessions, Prosecuting Attor-
ney McDonough should have been on
trial instead of the Scalcucci brothers,
and it was his utter disregard of the
law and on his wrongful advice that
Scalcucci brothers were compelled to
face a federal jury. The conviction
of the defendants in this case is a
condemnation of McDonough's acts
and he should be indicted and tried
for his illegal participation in this
affair"
