Prohibition Cuts
Danvine Arrests
Report Shows 1,122 Persons Ar
rested, Compared to 2,765 in Wet
Year

Police arrests during the year end
Ing May | > numbered LIP, according
to the report of Chief Kelley, con-
trasting sharply with the police re-
port of activities during the last year
saloons were operating in Danville.
During the fiscal year of l9l6-1ol7
police officers made a total of 2,76S
arrests, nearly two and one-half times
as many as during the year just clos
ed.
Fines assessed during the past year
amounted to $7,l47, as against $9,l74
three years ago. It is a noticeable
fact that more persons are paying
their fines now than three years ago
even if arrests are less.
OF the $9,l74 assessed in lol6-1ol7
only $5,371.25 was paid by cash, the
remainder of those fined either serv-
ing Jail sentences or paying it by la
Dor. During the past year $6,593.os
OF the $7,147 assessed was paid by
cash, only $55412 being paid by labor
and time served.
During the past fiscal year pa
were arrested for having been intox-
icated while 375 were guilty of dis
orderly conduct, according to the re-
port filed with the city clerk. The
older report shows 1926 arrests. or
charges of intoxication while 5l3 were
guilty of disorderly conduct.-Dan-

BOOZE is BOOZE

We would commend to
American beer advocates the
result of the experiment now
being tried in the Province of
Quebec, and particularly in the
city of Montreal. There the
plan has proved an utter failure
from a temperance standpoint.
1t has disappointed its advo-
Gates. Many who believed that
the sale of the so-called light
beer" would be harmless see
plainly that the plan will not
succeed.
Booze is booze in whatever
form and the booze business
is doomed in the United States
and Canada.-The Pioneer.

JAIL TO BECOME
CITY TOOL HOUSE

Since Prohibition became operative
the city Jail at Vinton, Iowa, has be-
come a deserted place. At recent
meeting of the city council it was
decided to make use of it as a tool
house. The superintendent of the
city water and light plant has been
instructed accordingly to make such
changes as will be necessary for the
Transformation.

Ter their observation:
! little or no good. Indeed, in our
neighborhood it did them imme sur
able harm. These people are dissat-
ished but this dissatisfaction will
soon pass. They are restless because
they are thinking more, and this
sort of restlessness can be regretted
only by those who are afraid of
thought
The Passing o. the Gang
Hundreds of saloons throughout
the city have closed their doors.
Those that still remain open are al
most empty. Most of their former
patrons now spend their leisure time
in more beneficial atmosphere
Many of the neighborhood gangs
that formerly made their headquar-
tiers in saloons have been driven out
into the open and have as a conse-
quence dsbanded. A number of
neighborhood houses report that more
men have participated in their ac-
tivities since the advent of Prohi-
bition than ever before. However
as the head of one of New York's
largest settlements writes, The sort
of men who have used saloons do
not pass readily to the neighborhood
house, but | can see the beginning
of such migration Other houses
that do not find evidence of increas-
ed male attendance recognize their
enlarged opportunity for service.
Practically every neighborhood house
could attract larger number of men
who since the closing of the saloons
do not know where to spend their
leisure time, if only more money
were available to devote to athletics,
clubs and other social activities.
Coffee Houses Proper
Many settlement workers men
ton the rapidly increasing attendance
at coffee houses. Lcnox Hill Settle
ment has taken over five saloons and
made club houses of them. Miss
Resale Manning, the headworker
said that this has caused some peo-
pie TO believe enormously that her
settlement was connected with the
Prohibition party. She pointed out
that most of the persons who now
use these club houses never frequent
ed saloons before Prohibition. She
also emphasized the great need for
decent places for social gatherings
Settlement Workers Urge Enforce
ment
"a more vigorous enforcement OF
the Prohibition law is practically uni.
versally urged by the settlement
workers. 1 have seen more persons
intoxicated during the last few
months than | have ever seen be-
FORE reports a Harlan House
worker. Union Settlement residents
have discovered that liquor is being
sold freely behind so-called soft
drink bars. The sale of grapes, rails

But nevertheless it is becoming in

The great mass of the people nc

an spite of the fact that it is still
too early to Judge the permanent
effects of Prohibition on account oil
the ease with which intoxica ting
liquors can be obtained, large ma
jority of the dozens of social workers
to whom this inquiry was addressed

while few social workers are I'M
able to discover any substantial re-
suits of Prohibition, most OF them
agree with DR.. John L. Elliott, head
worker of the Hudson Guild and
President of the National Fedora
ton of Settlements, who writes, On
the whole the effect of Prohibition
has been exceedingly good; indeed,
it has brought a real blessing with
it. Nothing in this worlds as big
as Prohibition could be unqualifedly
good
Moral Effects CONSPICUOUS
Social workers agree that the most
conspicuous effect of Prohibition is
the improvement OF the moral tone
of the community. Thousands Of
habitual drunkards have been trans
formed into respectable citizens.
Many times that number of men and
women whose minds and bodies were
| frequently deadened by excessive
drinking have become alert and use
full. Frequently the very persons
who profit most from Prohibition do
not recognize its benefits.
The Nurses See Its Effect
According to Miss Anna w. Good
rich, Director of Nurses of the Henry
Street Settlement, the consensus Of
opinion of Us visiting nurses, who
work from fourteen different centers
throughout the Boroughs of Man
haitian, Bronx and Richmond is thai
Prohibition has been noticeably
beneficial both morally and physical
| ly. This statement can be sustain
tiated by hundreds of reports OF II
dividual cases, which show improved
health since Prohibition The nurse;
also report that in many cases hus
bands now bring home their pay
envelopes and children are given bet
ter food, clothing and recreation
Many families that formerly receiv
ed free care can now afford to paJ
for the nursing service. f'ii2H
Italians Protest
Settlement houses located in Jew

porting that Prohibition is causing
little change because our people are
very temperate In the Bohemian
and Italian neighborhoods, however
Prohibition has met with much dis
favor For these people no meal i:

Miss Resale Manning of tn,

that her neighborhood dislikes Pro
hibition because the people think i

but she concludes that if they sta,

SPEAKING OF WEST POINT

DR.. Charles Eliot is quoted as say
ing: In my opinion no American
school or college intended for youth
between Is and % years of age
should accept such ill-prepared mater.
ial as West Point accepts. Second, no
school or college should have a com.
pletely prescribed curriculum. Third.
no school or college should have ties
teaching done almost exclusively by
recent graduates of the same schol or
college who are not teachers and who
serve short terms. West Point, as
far as its teachers are concerned
breeds in and in, very bad practice
for any educational institution.
