DIST. ATTYS, OPPOSE NY. DRY LAW
Petition Governor to Urge Change in
Code Passed by House; Unenforce-
able, They Say

The Mulan-Gage Prohibition en-
forcement bill passed by the New
York state legislature last week was
declared to be impossible to enforce
in its present form at a conference on
March 28 of representatives of the
five district attorneys offices of
greater New York, by Corporation
Counsel O'Brien and Police Com
missioner Enright.
The conference was called by Com
missioner Enright ito consider and
agree upon an efficient method OF pro-
cedure for the prompt and effective
enforcement of the liqour law as
amended by the present Legislature.
Following the conference the gov
ernor was asked to defer making the
bill law until the conferees' objec
tons could be heard
The principal objection to the bill
which would make every police officer
in the state a full-hedged Prohibition
officer was that the courts and the
district attorneys Offices would be
called upon to perform work which
they say it would be impossible for
them to do with their present limited
personnel and procedure.
About thousand cases OF violation
of the Eighteenth Amendment are
said to he Dending in the Federal
courts OF the city and this fact was
pointed to as evidence that the enact
ment of the Mullan-Gage enforcement
bill would clutter up the dockets of
the state courts in similar fashion
provided every policeman did his duty.
The New York Tribune is quoted
as saying that the average poiic4eaan
is opposed to the measure.

CONGRESSMAN GOOD FAvoRs
INCREASED WHISKY TAX

Congressman Good. chairman of
the Appropriations Committee, in a
statement the other day gave it as his
opinion that excess profit taxes should
be wiped out and that revenue should
be secured from other places to take
its place Mr.. Good referred to the
fact that last year nearly 100000
gallons of liquor was taken from the
bonded warehouses OF the country
on the ground that it was to be used
for medicinal purposes and that there
fore the tax was but $3.50 per gallon
Only small part of this liquor was
used as medicine. Most of it was
consumed as beverage. Mr. Good
believes the tax of $6.40 per gallon
should be restored on whisky and
from that source alone he thinks from
fifty million to a hundred million dol
lars year could be secured.

BIG BUCKEYE BREWERY
GOES INTO LIQUIDATION

The biggest brewery in Springfield,
Ohio, has succumber to the inevitable
and has made application to the courts
for sale of the property, The court
issued an order of sale to pay the
debts amounting to $6S,000. The re-
ceiver says Prohibition and the fail
ure to find a market for soft drinks
manufactured since Prohibition be-
came effective are responsible for the
troubles of the concern. He says the
manufacture of Notwithstanding bey-
erages has never been profitable and
that there is no market for the fin
ished product.

SOLVED HOUSING PROBLEM

Judge Lands, of Chicago. solved the
housing problem for one family in
that city who was recently evicted
from their home because of inability
to pay installments. The Judge found
them home by amending his injunc-
ton closing a saloon for one year,
and opened it and turned it into =
home for the evicted family. The
present owner of the saloon which
was closed for violation OF the Pro-
hibition law, read OF the plight OF the
family and notified the attorney gen
eral that the eyicted family could live
in the saloon if the ban against the
building was raised, and Judge Lands
promptly raised the ban.

BEER RULING SCORED BY
CHICAGO PHYSICIAN
Says It Is Most Demoralizing Blow
Ever Dealt the Profession

DR.. Albert II. Burr, a promincn
Chicago Physician. writing to tn
Tribune OF that city, has this to sa
about how physicians feel toward tn
beer ruling OF former Attorney Gen
eral Palmer:
| wish to join the protests OF
my brother physicians who feel
outraged by the ruling of late At
torney General Palmer legalizing
the sale of beer on physicians pre-
scriptions. The licensing of my
profession to prescribe alcoholics
under the pretense of medicine
when everybody knows the real
purpose is to crafty booze app
petite is the most stultifying and
demoralzing blow ever dealt
against the honor of noble pro-
fession.
To the young doctor struggling
for foothold in practice the fees
are serious temptation. The I'M
wary young medic is lured by this
dangerous bait from his higher
ideals of professional ethics and
service to his patrons.

NEW REGULATIONS FOR
LIQUOR WITHDRAWALS

Regulations limiting withdrawal of
liquor by retail druggists to 100 gal
Ions each of spirits or wine for each
quarter were issued March 81 by the
Bureau OF Internal Revenue.
While intended to clarity previous
orders the new regulations were said
to serve in a way as a relaxation of
restrictions, limiting Withdrawals to
FIVE cases of all kinds OF liquor under
one permit. There was no determine
alton of the number of such permits
to be issued for any retail druggist,
however. Officials said that where
proof was given a larger quantity than
the 100 gallons maximum might be
withdrawn, but Investigations of sales
by the average retail druggist had
convinced officials that the limit set
was sufficient 10 meet average needs.

BRYAN GIVES OPINION
ON PALMER BEER RULING
Says Ruling Is Ill-Advised and
Embarrassing to the New
Administration
BoozERs BECOME MEDIcs
Beverage Prohibition Not to Be
Defeated by the Changing of
Drink" to Dose"

William ]. Bryan gave the United
News Association the following
interview expressing his opinion OF
the proposed beer for medical pur-
poses ruling. First. the new admin
istration should not have been en-
barrassed by an important opinion at
such time when it must necessarily
indorse or repudiatc. Second, the
opinion is a misinterpretation OF the
spirit OF the law il not OF the letter,
and encourages violation.
Ii the opinion stands, medical col
leges will be soon established to con-
vert liquor dealers into tonic doctors
or general debility physicians.
While the Prohibition law only APP
plies to beverage liquors its enforce
ment can not be evaded by merely
changing the name drink" to dose"
or by substituting doctor for a sa-
loonkeeper.
If the Palmer opinion results in
wholesale evasion OF the law as seems
likely it will have to be modified by
the new attorney general or rene
died by act of Congress.
The Prohibition Amendment is a
permanent part of the federal Con-
stitution. No we'll informed person
whether he be wet or dry expects it
to be repealed. 1t must therefore be
enforced.
Failure to enforce it would invite
lawlessness which would menace or
derby government. Respect for law
should not depend upon the citizens
opinion of the law; it should rest on
loyalty to the government.
Criminal laws are not intended pri-
marily for those who like them; such
do not need them. A criminal law is
intended for those who do not like it.
Law is the crystallzation of public
opinion and public opinion when duly
embodied in law must prevail or pop
ular government will become farce
Prohibition was adopted by the
deliberate act OF the American people
and it can not be repealed by official
opinions.

BREWERS IMPATIENT
Several Hundred Concerns Anxious to
Make Medicinal" Beer

According to Prohibition Commits
sioner Kramer, fully 800 breweries in
various parts of the country are
clamoring for permits to brew me
dicinal" beer under the recent ruling
of Mr. Palmer Mr.. Kramer is OF
the opinion that should the ruling
stand so little beer will be used as
medicine that one or not more than
two breweries can manufacture
enough to meet all legitimate needs
OF the country.
Mr.. Kramer reiterated his fear that
under the Palmer ruling beer will be
slipped out from some .breweries to
the underground traffic. He does not
believe that the great majority of
physicians will abuse their authority
to prescribe beer for their patients.
In fact, he is quite certain that a
large majority of physicians will not
even apply for permits to prescribe
beer.
Neither docs Mr.. Kramer think
there is much danger that the
drug stores will become saloons, as
some people think. However, he is
of the opinion that the great danger
to enforcement of National Prohibi-
ton now-1ies with the breweres I'M
der the Palmer ruling.

"SEIzED LIQUORS BAD"
SAYS DRY Officer

Leo Crossen, Prohibition director
for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Maryland, was recently asked by a
newspaper man concerning the quail
ity of liquor which is being rounded
up by the government agents. In re-
ply Mr.. Crossen said:
at is about as bad as it can be and
much of it is absolutely poisonous.
There is virtually no good whisky
being offered for sale now. OF course
there is some that was stored before
the Prohibition law gripped the coun-
try, but that is steadily lessening and
men arc reluctant to take chances
with the stuff that is being offered at
fancy prices.
IF | were a drinking man |
wouldn't take chance with my life
by drinking whisky offered at any
saloon or hotel The. odds are heavy
it has been fixed and doctored to the
limit. If it has really come from a
still the chances are that instead Of
the pure copper of which a still should
be made, iron, aluminium or other
metals are used which give off poison
Gus combinations under the process
of distllation. There is no testing of
the stuff. 1t is bottled and fake la
bells pasted upon it to fool the
suckers"

LIMIT FOR DRUGGISTS

proof was given, a larger quantity

cations OF sales by the average retail

SOFT-DRINK VENDOR SUED
FOR DAMAGES BY PATRON

A queer case has been filed in the
courts of Lorain county, Ohio. An
Elyria man has entered suit against
a soft drink dispenser in that city for
$1,000 damages. He says after drink
ing the liquor he purchased from the
soft drink seller he~was seized with
commissions, waF taken to the hos
pital and prompt action by physicians
saved his life, but since then he as
serts that he has been unable prop
erly to digest his food and his stom-
ach is ruined. This bears out the con-
tention of the Prohibition enforce
ment agents that the man who drinks
booze substitutes is flirting with
death.

Questions Dist. Attorneys Ability to

William H. Anderson, State Super

the district attorneys of the FIVE coun.
ties in New York city for amendment
of the Prohibition enforcement bill
now in the legislature. Mr.. Anderson
said in part:
If the district attorneys of the
five counties within greater New
York city had made any serious
attempt to carry out the enforce
ment features of the state law re-
speeding the sale of liquor during
the last year as they were sworn
to do, they might be accepted as
experts on the operation of state
Prohibition law.
They must know that if liquor
cases come first before the kind OF
magistrates who have been ex-
pressing their contempt of the law
itself when they released prisoners
charged with its violation, there

RATIONALE OF MOVIES
DERIDING PROHIBITION
Brewers, Kicked Out by People, Seek
Crafty to Regain Ground Which
They Have Lost

The question often arises in the
mind OF many people, why do the
movies ridicule Prohibition. The
closing of saloons has turned thou
sands of dollars into the Golfers of
the movie men because thousands OF
men who used to spend their money
and time in saloons after work hours
now go home and take their families
to the movies.
A partial answer at least is found as
result of an investigation conducted
in Minneapolis and St. Paul. This in
yestigation revealed the fact that the
principal owner of almost all the
movie houses in the Twin Cities was
formerly one of the leading brewers
in Minnesota.
Having lost their grip upon the
peoples appetites the brewers are
now making an indirect but powerful
effort to regain it by carrying on a
vicious propaganda
Friends of law and order through
out the nation ought to be thoroughly
aroused to the cognizance of what is
going on and when theaters ridicule
Prohibition the people should take
pains TO express their displeasure.
The solution of this problem is in the
hands OF the public.
