Representative Ansorge of New York is an active and enter
prsing member of the band of more than 100 new Republican
members in the House of Representatives. Being new to the
game, however, he did not UNDERSTANDINGS some others have not
that it requires a very considerable length of time to prepare
a tariff bill of 36 pages and ten thousand schedules, and so
Ansorge became impatient. He reflected this Impotence in a
statement which the Associated Press carried and which the
Democratic press seized upon as a sign of insurgency and insur.
rection in the Republican organization.
The AnSOrge statement came out about the time when a
meeting of the new Republican members of the House had been
called, largely for social purposes. This meeting was, therefore,
heralded by the opposition press as a part of a movement to voice
dissatisfaction with the House management. As a matter of fact,
however, and as the call explained, it was not 50 intended. and
ticor Leader Mondel was asked to be a guest of the meeting. The
occasion offered Mondell opportunity to score a victory entirely
UnsOught and unexpected.
During the preliminaries of the meeting Representative An
sorge and others expressed regret that their purpose had been
misunderstood. Floor Leader Mondell then addressed the meeting
at length. inviting the new members to PROFOUND any question
they had in mind touching the House program past, present and
future. These were promptly and satisfactorily answered, and
as a result the new members were fully informed of situations
affecting legislation, and of the means taken to overcome the vari-
Gus handlcaps and hindrances. When Mondel had put all the
cards upon the table" as they say in the west, many individual
expressions of approval were heard of the manner in which the
legislative program had been handled. The Floor Leaders address
was frequently interrupted bv applause, and the members in
sisted upon his continuing until a late hour. At the close a rising
vote of thanks was rendered the Floor Leader, added to which
was a unanimous vote of confidence in him and in the House
organization.

CRIME DECREASES
UNDER PROHIBITION

W. l.. Wade, state superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League. has
issued the following statement re-
garding crime conditions under pro-
hibition:
Former Lieutenant Governor OF
California, A. J. Wallace, says the
cry Of a crime wave is not justified
by the facts no matter how indus
triously the liquor traffic may seek
to make us believe it. While in San
Francisco a few days ago Mr.. Wal
lace said: DID,. .E... e
The liquor interests OF this coun-
try. aided by similar interests OF
England and France. are ,cxerting
every effort to instill into the minds
Of the American people that a large
majority Is not only antagonistic to
the principle Of prohibition. but Is
actively violating the law. The facts
are otherwise. The police record of
San Francisco itself shows the vast
decrease in drinking and in othf

crime.
In the wet veal ending June 3Oth.
1916. there were 1900 arrests for
drunkenness. In the prohibition year
ending 1920 this figure dropped to
1914. In the same period all arrests
dropped from 51,43O to 26,673.
prohibition has not brought about
a wave of crime in this country, no
matter how industriously the liquor
traffic may seek to make us believe
that it has done so. There is no
a Of crime. There is 40 per cent
less crime than before prohibition ;
whereas under the postwar condi-
lions that have prevailed we might
wei have expected there would be
more"
These statistics coming from the
extreme West are especially interest
ing when compared with those of
Boston in the East, and those of our
own Capital City, Cheyenne. The
following from the Boston Police
Department gives the record of the
last complete wet" year and the
first year under prohibition. Each
year ending on June 3Oth.
in the wet year ending June goth,
1913 there were 52.6S2 arrests for
drunkenness. In the prohibition
year ending June 3Gth 1920. this
figure dropped to 1e,4S7. The total
number of arrests in Boston in 1919
was $3.50. In the prohibition year,
1920, this dropped to 47,395."
In Cheyenne in 1918, the total
number of arrests for drunkenness
was 1898. while in 1920 this total
dropped to $50. In tie wet year,
1918. the total number of arrests
for all causes in Cheyenne was 234S.
In 1920, under prohibition, the total
number of arrests was 1920.
