more floor space than the fish com
pany will need Immediately and it
proposes to lease a portion of the
building to box manufacturer. The
box company will be given contracts

London Express Cartoonist Should

The London newspaper is clinging
to the old fallacy that stopping the
appalling and unnecessary waste OF
money represented in the drink traffic
will increase the cost Of living and
that prohibiting the sale OF beverage
alcohol will bring on disorder and
strikes. The Express ought to detail
its American correspondent to make
survey OF the labor situation in the
larger American cities and incidental
ly to keep his eye on the police court
records. but instruct him to write an
honest report OF his findings.

WISCONSIN'S GOVERNOR
FOR MODERATE DRINK
Thinks Mulberger Law Is Much
Better Solution Than Bone
Dry Prohibition of Liquor
HINTS AT LITIGA ION
Brewery Lawyer Says Action to
Test Federal Amendment
Will Be Started Soon

Governor L. L. Phillips of Wis
oonstn was reported in the press as
saying in an address on January 5,
last:
In spite of all arguments, am
still convinced that through legis-
latou such as the Mulberger law,
which would permit a moderate
beverage, Wisconsin has better
solution of the whole problem
THAI is provided by bone-dry laws.
| presume litigation will be intro
duced in an effort to place Wis
consin under the Mulberger law
rather than the constitutional
amendment.
w. H. Austin, counsel for the Wis
consm Brewers Association, on the
same day is quoted in the press in
confirmation of the Governors pre-
sumption. lie says:
We intend to start action with
in few days contesting the con-
stitutionality of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
1t is such outbursts as these COM
ing trom sympathizers with the liquor
traffic that warn the dry forces that
the iPlt is not over to establish the
Prohibition policy.
It is knowledge OF this intention to
contest the validity OF the constitu-
tionll amendment that prompted AS
sistant Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue Gaylord recently to declare
that in his opinion it would require
six years to make the country abb
solutely dry. 1t is also knowledge
of the liquor interests tactics that
prompted Hon. John +. Kramer.
Unted States Prohibition Commits
sioncr, to say;
Heretofore the line of demar-
cation has been between those
who favored the abolition OF the
liquor traffic and those who OPP
posed it. Now it is between
those who are in favor OF obey
ing the law and those who will
be ready and anxious TO violate
the law. Prohibition is only well
launched. The battle for Prohibi-
ton is not won. We have gained
ground of great strategic import
ance We must not only hold it.
but capture advanced positions as
well.

BOSTON DRINKS DECREASE
10000 UNDER DRY RULE
Notable Decline in the Number
of Women Arrested; Crimes
of All Sorts Fewer
VICE LAWS WE'D
Under License 1,41o Arrests for
Offenses Against Morality
Laws GIL Under Dry Law

The Boston Traveller in an article
appearing under the signature of
Harry Mccormick, special staff re-
porter, presents some interesting fig
ures compiled from police and court
reports showing how Prohibition has
reduced arrests i'll Boston.
Figures from the police depart
ment covering the period of six
months from July l to December |,
1918, with the city wet. are compared
with figures covering the same period
in 1919 under no-lcensc.
The greatest decrease, which is
natural, the police say, is in the num-
Der of arrests for intoxication.
During the period from July to De-
cember, 1918, 2S,S50 persons were ar
rested by the police OF the Is police
divisions. During the same time i'll
1919 the same arresting officers, save
during the period of the police strike,
1920 persons fell into the hands Of
the police under influence of liquor.
A decrease of 10000 certainly is elo-
quent testimony for the effectiveness
OF Prohibition.
OF the persons arrested in 1918,
1888 were women. while the 1919
records show but $50 arrests OF wom-
ell on the charge.
Ofenses against the person, prin-
cipally assault, show a remarkable
falling off also. There were 5l8 fewer
arrests OF this nature during the dry
period.
The totals were 1,559 arrests in
1918 as against 1,04l during the time
liquor was taboo.
The police point out that the ma
jority of the cases were directly due
to fights following drinking.
Perhaps the most satisfactory de-
crease in crime is that in offcnses
against morality laws. The records
show that during the wide-open liq-
uor days of the six months in ques-
ton, 1,4l9 persons were arrested for
some offensc against these laws. OF
this number 533 were women. The
dry time took great cut into these
figures, showing during the 1910 ses-
sion but OIL arrests for all crimes Of
this kind, including 1916 women.
