In the Name of Liberty

1t will be seen by the above cx-
cerpts from the back files oil Windlc' S
paper that that paper OF which he
was editor then and is editor now
sought to excuse Germany's attempt
to crush the weaker nations and to
establish the principle might makes
right 1t is not surprising, there
fore, to hear him say the following in
his address, THE Crusade OF Cran<s';
The Prohibition principle is
based upon the right OF the state
10 establish a standard for the
weakling and compel the strong
to adjust their lives, their tastes
and habits to the standard of the
wealSling.
1t is monstrous. You can no
more promote temperance with d
policeman's club than you can
make love with brickbat.
But you can enforce law with a
policemans club and don't you forget
it. And tllat goes for Prohibition
law, too, If you don't believe it, call
the roll in LeayenWorth or cast your
eye over toward New York City
where the entire police force have
been put on the job and tie booze
criminals are getting their first real
test of what law enforcement means.
1t is being impressed upon their dull
intellccts with the policeman's club
But hear this editor of the paper
which held Germany, England and
France equally responsible for the
war, pirate about liberty-the editor
of the paper which apparently could
see no injustice nor assault upon lib
erty when Germany ruthlessly laid
waste little Belgium. He says:
When analysed it will be
found that the new crusade of
cranks is new assault upon lib
erty-another damnable effort to
rob the citizen of the right of in
divdual decision Resist it i'll the
name of liberty Fight it for the
sake OF American institutions
which it seeks to subvert and de-
stroy.
Wowl Resist it i'll the name of
liberty! What kind of liberty? Lib
erty to get drunk if you want to and
interfere with the liberty of your fam
lily, your neighbors, your community,
your state. Some apostle OF liberty
is c. A. Windle, editor OF Branns
Iconoclast.
This extended notice is given this
meeting of Windle's because it is al
together likely that similar meetings
will be held by him. especially among
the foreign-speaking peoples OF our
cities. The primary purpose OF
course of these meetings will be to
resist enforcement of prohibition OF
the liquor traffic.
1t is the duty of good citizens in
every community to resist in every
legitimate way the attempts of those
who would lead our foreign-born pop
ulation astray on this question of law
observance.

PENAL POPULATION CUT
Internationally Neglecting in
National Capital Leads the
Crime Slump
PENAL POPULATION CUT
(Ida A. Green)

The daily papers OF Washington, d.
c., in January, carried an item saying
that, according to a District of Co
lumbia official, crime in Washington
had greatly increased and that this Of
fetal believed this increase was due to
the effect OF Prohibition
The actual facts concerning crime
in the District of Columbia, for the
year 1920, are found in the official re-
port of the workhouse, jail, home for
the aged, etc, for that year
The Superintendent OF the work
house in his report says:
No matter what the belief is. it is
a certainty that Prohibition enforce
ment is something of crime proven
tive and a crime cure. The record
here proves it. 1t has reduced the
population until, now and then, the
number of prisoners resembles an as
semblage responding to a call TO
donate money to an unpopular cause.
. During the last fiscal year the
number Of prisoners transferred to
the workhouse was 1888, decrease OF
l,77S over the preceding year,
"The workhouse was organized to
accommodate about 700 prisoners, and
for period of five years, 1913 to 1917
inclusive, it had daily average of
640 The daily average for the fiscal
year 1913 was 1873; for 1919, 433, and
for 1920, 334
The first marked decrease came
suddenly, following the going into eff
feet in November, 1917, of the Shop
pard Prohibition law for the District
of Columbia"
The jail superintendent reports:
During the year 1920 there were
received from the courts 3,847 prison.
ers, a DECREASE of 2,146 from the
preceding year"
Some people believe that all over
the county in the year 1920 there has
been a wave of murder. Notice the
report of the Jail superintendent again.
He says, THE number committed for
murder was 80, A DECREASE OF
EIGHTEEN under the previous
period"
The liquor interests are saying that
liquor flows freely in the capital city,
that more people get drink from the
bootleggers than they would if it were
sold legitimately. The facts concern
ing arrests for intoxication give this
liquor propaganda the lie. THE num-
Der of prisoners for intoxication was
Sal, A DECREASE OF LOSS"
Perhaps the most noticeable inn
provement i'll Washington has been in
the decrease of husbands who were
arrested for neglecting their homes
and families. In 1910 the number
committed to the workhouse for this
offense against society was 1870; in
1918, %; in 1919, Is, and in 1920
only Is.
Facts speak for themselves.

A throb Of distant engine filters
through the heavy night air. A car
is approaching from the rear at high
speed. The strong-arm squad pre-
pares for action. Automatics are
shifted for convenient positions,
ready for the attack when the pro-
per moment arrives.
The approaching rum-runners are
within two hundred feet of the way
layers when suddenly the road is IL
Illuminated by the headlights of the
car lying in wait. The driver Of the
rum-running car sets his teeth,
pushes the accelerator to the floor
board and runs the gauntlet OF the
light barrage. Shots directed at the
waylayers, ring out as the outlaw
car whizzes past. Return shots ring
out, aimed at the tires of the pass
ing car. The big Paige is in mo-
tion the moment the outlaw gives
evidence that he will chance the pas
sage of the light barrier. The chase
is on.
Away goes the outlaw at his top
most speed. Sixty miles an hour is
nothing-for risk of death is bet
ter than a certainty OF prison. But
behind comes car which is gra-
ually speeding up to 75. The d.
viding distance slowly diminishes.
Revolvers crack ominously, but fin
ally cease. The outlaws ammunition
is exhausted-but still the cars race
on. Now they are abreast. An Of
ficer of the pursuing car climbs out
on the running-board and then
changes cars with deft leap. The
battle OF automobile is won.

THE AUTO IS
ONE Of L|FE'S
NECESSITIES

Transportation is one of the five
necessities of life," says l.. o. Arens
local dealer in Chevrolet passenger
and commercial cars.
"We require food, fuel, clothing,
shelter and transportation. without
transportation, the other necessities
could not be distributed.
Transportation moves the seed to
the farms and the crops away. 1t
moves food and clothing to mer-
chants stores and distributes them
among the people who need them. II
moves materials for building purpos-
es.
without transportation our cities
would wither and die; people would
starve. without transportation, the
farmer would have to learn again
how to make his own clothing.
Without transportation there
would be no progress.
And foremost Of the transpor-
tation mediums Of the present and
future stands the automobile.
IT stands foremost because II
gives every man the advantage Of d.
recting to the best market the COM
modify he sells, whether 1t be a
product OF the soil or factory, or
mans own labor.
''It stands foremost because It is
closer to the needs of the individual
than any other means Of efficient
transportation ever has been.
with these indisputable facts be-
fore us, It is difficult to understand
how any man can see anything but
great success for the automobile bust
ness.

And the activities of the revenue
agents are not confined to counter
attack alone. In fact, II is by con-
Quoting an offensive rather than de-
fensive that the officers of the law
have been most successful in frus-
trating the plans of the liquor traf-
fickers.
The general plan of offensive fol-
lowed by the law enforces in Ontario,
especially along the Essex border, Is
well illustrated by the nightly activi-
ties OF the famous Hallam Strong
Arm squad. This squad of five me
men, captained by Rev. J. o. sprack-

wich, Ont, is giving the liquor out

by the government especially for this
work, capable OF travelling 10 miles

ease, but actually with every sense
alert. The cars lights are out. The

WOULD ENCOURAGE
PURE BRED MALES
CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER SIRES
AND BETTER STOCK MEETS
WITH ENCOURAGEMENT
Movement Only Is Months Old but
Has a Membership of 1856; Virginia
Leads the States; No Price Is Too
High for Pure Bred Males for
South Americans.

The "better sires, better stock
campaign now in progress for the i'm
provement of the quality of domestic
animals in the United States is meet
ing with splendid success.
Although the movemen was only
fifteen months old at the close of
1920, there were at that time 486
owners of $4,000 head of livestock
and poultry enrolled. Of the stock
listed 5,739 were pure-bred males.
The owners of S7,703 of the female
stock pledged themselves to breed
this stock to purebred sires only. Ac-
cording to statistics furnished by the
department of agriculture Virginia
leads other states in this important
work, but Salinas county, Nebraska,
is the banner community for the
period. Next in order are Stafford
county, Virginia; Tippecanoe county,
Indiana; Pulaski county, Virginia;
Fauquier county, Virginia, and Platte
county, Nebraska.
Before the recent drive to improve
the stock of the country there we're
only 3,243 members, with the high
est number in Virginia. The latter
fact is not surprising, as it is largely
a grazing region, having blue grass
in its native pastures, while there is
an abundance of springs from a nat
ural limestone filterage. The beef
cattle of Virginia are among the best
this country produces and there are
a number of farms in the state where
clean-bred horses are reared. Among
the best known are those of A. B.
Hancock and William Garth, near
Charlottesville; Henry T. Oxnard's,
at U~pperville; Thomas F. Ryan's at
Leesburg and Captain P. M. Walkers
at Boyce.
Our South American neighbors
were among the first to discover the
of employing thorough
bred males in the improvement of
herds. No price was too high
to pay for a bull boar or ram, the
records showing as much as $780, 900
for a shorthorn male. In the matter
Of thoroughbred stations they have
for a long tine dominated tho world
It was an Argentinian for whom Lord
Marcus Beresford took the American
bred horse Tracery last year at the
'ecord price of $4,000 guineas. This
n normal times would have yielded
lis owner, August Belmont, $685.
Before they they had given the
$157,50O for Cyilene, $780,
