Lowers
Michigan Death Rate

Dr. William J. Y. Deacon, director
Of the Bureau of Communicable Dis
ease ir> the State Department of
Health, gives the death rate in Mich
igan in 1910 as 1877 per 1000, as COM
pared with 17.3 in 1918, and he at
tributes the decrease partly to Prohi-
bition. The effect, he says, is indi-
rect, the results being accomplished
by the expenditure of money, which
used to be spent in liquor, for the
betterment of general living condi-
tons as affected by food, clothing and
shelter, all of which react benehcially
upon the health of families. Results
of Prohibition, he says, can best be
observed in the decrease Of 461
deaths from tuberculosis in 1919 over
1918, despite the fact that more cases
were reported in 1919. DR.. Deacon
expects that the years 1920 and 1921
will also show decreases in the death
rate from tuberculosis and other de-
generative diseases.-The Kablegram.

Dry Law Saves Money
In a Number Of Ways

Two of the ways in which Prohibit
ton saves money for the tax payers
are mentioned in recent news dis
patches. The Wilmington, Delaware,
News states that the local county
hospital saved $1,000 in 1920 because
OF Prohibition. This appears in the
report of Townsend w. Miller, one
OF the board Of managers, who ex-
plains that due to Prohibition there
has been great decrease in the num-
Der of cases given free treatment.
The Baltimore, Maryland, News in
a recent article comments on the re-
port of the local central Prohibition
enforcement office covering the Pc
Rod extending back to January 10,
1920.
zone of the features is that more
than 100000 received from court
fines and sales of seized property, ex-
ceeds the full operating expenses of
the Maryland department, and
also the narcotic division, which is
combined in governmental expendi-
lures with Prohibition enforcement"
In addition to the fines, seized
properties have an appraised value of
more than one million dollars. Tax
penalty imposed in connection with
violations amounted to ten million
dollars.

THE AMERICAN PRIVILEGE

A CORRESPONDENT whose letter is in todays Herald proposes
n that Albuquerque follow the example OF New York and hold a
parade TO tell the world that opponents Of prohibition here are
not afraid 90 express their opinions.
We had not noticed any marked tmidity on the part Of local
opponents Of prohibition in expressing their views, although they.
have not. w 10 now, thought it worth while 20 parade about IT.
This is a great nation in which to live. II is the right Of every
citizen 10 express his views and 10 parade about them. IN behalf of n
cause or policy, or against the same, if he desires That privilege is
one Of the grand things about being AN American.
In this matter of an anti prohibition parade, however. The Herald
cannot agree with the correspondent as 10 the value 10 Albuquerque
Of making such an exhibition of sentiment, courageous though il may
be. In the first place, we doubt If il would be- a very large process
sion. In the second place it is not unlikely that New York. pro
posed demonstration will, when held, have the appearance rather Of
a mourners than a militant parade. The same atmosphere would
undoubtedly surround such a parade in Albuquerque.
When the opponents of national prohibition begin 10 hold dem
constructions. there will certainly be counter demonstrations. aud ~
has always been the east in our nation zap 10 this time, the biggest
parade will continue to dominate aud the majority will continue to
rule. f.
The Herald is for the contipuanec Of national %prohibition, FIRST
last aud all the time, because II has already delivered the goods in
vast benefits TO the American people. But we haven the slightest
objection to It's opponents holding paradcs, or expressing their views
in conversation or in the newspapers.
