MANY HOMES BETTERED

The executive commission OF the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church, which met in Atlantic City
last week, reported through Moder-
ator DR.. S. S. Palmer, that Prohibi-
ton had materially lessened the work
of rescue missions and that from diff
ferent parts OF the nation reports have
been received that Prohibition has
had a beneficial influence in many
homes.
DR. w. Q. Thompson, president Of
the Ohio State University, speaking
before the Commission, commented
upon the increase in the number OF
men who are now regularly attending
divine service. DR.. Thompson said;
I am not prepared TO say that
the increase noted by the COM
mittee on church attendance,
which for men now amounts to
49 per cent of the total, against
81 per cent women, can be traced
10 the Eighteenth Amendment,
but it is reasonable to believe that
the increase may be traced in
part, if not wholly, to Prohibition.

Two hundred bottles of champagne
were recently seized after they had
been lowered into rowboat from the
Italian line steamer, Presidente Will

Lynch, agents OF the collector OF the
port OF New York, were standing on
the pier when they saw the bottles
being lowered over the sides of the
vessel. On approaching the row.

firing several shots after the fleeing
men, who made their way to pier
and escaped.

LIQUID BREAD" ~ABOUNDS--
REAL BREAD SHY IN ROME

According to a dispatch from Rome,
an Italian Senator in discussing the
proposition OF increasing the price of
bread because the government could
10 longer afford to buy wheat abroad
and sell it below cost in Italy, de-
clared that Italians spend FIVE billion
lire annually for wine, and can we'll
afford to pay more for bread He
thought that as the Italians were
worse than wasting so much money
for liquor they could not complain if
the price of bread was increased, and
if the government no longer went into
its pocket for money to buy wheat to
be sold below cost in order to keep
the price of bread from advancing.

Worcester, Mass,
May Is. 1857

Deaf Sir:--I am very DESTROYS OF
collecting reliable information from
all the towns I can reach about the
actual condition of things in the
temperance movement and the ex-
tent to which Legislative enactments
against the traffic in Intoxicating
drink have been enforced OF late, and
| write you, sir, for this purpose, ask
ing if you will kindly furnish me with
your convictions on the subject.
Ever since began public labor last
autumn, l have been panied to OBJ
serve the decline Of effort to create
and preserve public sentiment that
would abolish the drinking customs
and demand the extinction of the
traffic. | have also been troubled to
see how the people unconsciously to
themselves have acted upon the feel
ing that there was a cure for intern
perance in the single fact OF having a
prohibitory law upon the statute
book, and that it would enforce itself.
I have been convinced that this
over-confidence was more damaging
to progress than full view of the
danger that righteous laws will be a
dead letter unless the friends of
right feel the necessity of steady
effor. TO make them effective.

MILWAUKEE, ORDINANCE
PUTS NIPPERS ON BOOZERS

Milwaukee, Wis, assesses an an
nual license upon soft drink vendors.
It is reported that in the city of Mil
waukee alone. the revenue arising
from these soft drink emporiums total
ed more than $l25,000 a year. The
licensing ordinance gives the police
effective control of the soft drink
business. Since these licenses became
effective, it has not been necessary to
revoke single license held by a
former saloonkeeper. Chief of Police
Jensen says "The ordinance has given
us positive control The proprietors
of these PLACES realize we mean bust
ness and are taking no chances on
having their licenses revoked"

BALTIMORE BOOTLEGGERS
RAKE IN BIG PROFIT

The New York Tribune carries the
story under a Baltimore date-line,
that the illicit traffic in intoxicating
liquors in that city nettcd three hur-
bred thousand dollars in profits in
eighteen days. This statement furn-
ishes an explanation TO the case
with which bootleggers and bind
piggers can pay what to other Grim
inals would be heavy fine with the
greatest ease. The profits Of the
business are enormous.

WET "TINCTURE" ARGUMENT
KNOCKED OUT BY CHEMIST

One of the stock in trade argu-
ments of the liquor interests has
been the necessity of alcohol as a
menstruum in the manufacture of
tinctures Even this argument, it
seems, is not to be left to the liquor
interests. At a meeting of chemi-
cal convention in Chicago, DIR. NJ
de Grote, of the University of Pitts
burgh, declared that glycerin could
be used instead of alcohol in extracts,
and further declared that giycerin
was not only better, but cheaper.

CHICAGO BRIDEWELL
FEELS DRY EFFECTS


Tie annual report Of the
Chicago House OF Correction
(The BrideweiD. covering the
year ending with the first OF
last July, which was the first
Prohibition year. shows some
interesting statistics. During
the year there were 5.725 per
sons sent to this institution. In
1913, which was the last year
before National Prohibition, the
number OF persons was 1924.
This was decrease under
Prohibition Of 4.40l. The re-
port OF the MEDICAL supefintend-
eft OF the institution says that
under Prohibition there has
been a great decrease in the
number OF inmates which flled
the hospitals after Saturday
night DRINKS. when saloons
were in operation.

League Did Not Ask for Prohibition
Plank

It cannot, therefore, be too strongly
emphasized at this time that the
Anti-Saloon League of America did
not ask for a Prohibition plank at
either the Democratic or the Re
publican conventions. The only re-
quest made by the Anti : Saloon
League was made in conjunction with
the w. c. T. T., and was for the fol-
lowing brief law enforcement plank:
1--WE declare for the effective enforce
ment OF the Eighteenth Amendment
and laws enacted pursuant thereto as
construed by the Supreme Court of
the United States"
The discussion at Chicago was brief
and never went beyond the commit
tee room to the floor of the conven-
ton. 1t is reported that some third
party Prohibitionists asked various
delegates to introduce a Prohibition
resolution on the floor of the conven-
ton as an additional plank in the
platform, but no one would agree to
do so, and no Prohibition plank was
introduced or adopted in the Re-
publican convention.
While the Democratic convention
likewise refused to adopt any plank
on Prohibition, the question was more
prominent than at Chicago. The conf
mittee on platform gave an hour 10 a
public hearing at which Mrs. L. L.
Yost, legislative superintendent OF
the w. C. T. u, and DR.. w. B.
Wheeler, National Attorney of the
Anti-Saloon League, spoke in favor

WINDLE HAS ONE SPIEL
British Trade Putting Up Biggest
Fight in the History of

y copyright story in the ChiJaeo
Daily Tribune OF September ,, an-
nounces that two Americans are in
Scotland campaigning for the liquor
interests. These two speakers are
/ {. A. Windle, editor Of Brann's Icon
oclast, Chicago. and Mrs. Minons
Jones, also Of Chicago. These wet
spellbinders are speaking nightly.
Their activity on behalf Of the booze
i interests is hardly consistent with the
favoritc slogan OF the British liquor
trade, which slogan is blazoned from
bilboards throughout Scotland, and
which reads. Are you going to al
low Yankee cranks to run Our Coun-
! try? No! Send them home"

tive of wet interests in England, Ire

ments were answered before ne had

altogether likely that he is delivering
the same old talk now in Scotland.
The Tribune story says that the wet
campaign headquarters are in Edin-
burgh, and that the liquor interests
are putting on the biggest Campaign
ever known in Scotland. Especial
appeal is being made to the women TO
reach the women voters. The vets
have supplied the grocers with four
million paper bags inscribed "Prohi-
bition means higher cost OF living"
and then have put forth the argument
that the high price of sugar is due to
extra consumption in dry America.
Every whisky, beer, and wine bottle
carries the label, Temperance is
strength, Prohibition is slavery. Vote
no change" An extensive billboard
campaign is being conducted, every
blank wall in Scotland is covered with
posters. Twelve million leaflets have
been issued, and according to the
Tribune story, this wet literature is
away ahead that OF the drys, both in
quantity and in quality. a house TO

the women in Edinburgh, where the
women's vote is 1924 ahead of the

Both of the great political conven-
tons have met and both very wisely
decided to make no reference to Pro-
hibition in the party platforms. both
agreeing very wisely that as Prohibi-
ton has not been a partisan political
issue in the past it should not be
made partisan political issue i'll the
present campaign. The writer does
not forget that there has existed for
nearly forty years a National Prohi-
btion party, which has made Prohi-
bition the dominant issuesin its plat
form and which has regularly nomi-
mated a national ticket, but the re-
fusal of the great mass of voters to
support the third party Prohibition
movement indicated that the Prohi-
bition question could not be success
fully handled as a partisan political
issue, and the Anti-Saloon League Of
America was organized as a non
partisan, omni-partisan League to de-
stroy the beverage liquor traffic.
Making due acknowledgment for all
the splendid educational work which
has been done by other agencies, the
fact remains that the Anti-Saloon
League has been the efficient organi-
zations which by strictly non-partisan
methods has led in the ratification OF
the Eighteenth Amendment. The
writer has been a member of the Ma
tional Executive Committee of the
Anti-Saloon League for IS years and
the chairman OF the National Legis-
lative Committee since its organiza-
ton in 1918, and he knows that there
has never been during that time any
change whatever in the policy OF the
League that Prohibition is not a
partisan political issue.
