Butter Fingered Police

Here is one evidence of police ineffi-
cheney about which there can be no
question. Statistics recently published
show that last year there were 5000
arrests for drunkenness in New York
city. Now every wet paper is agreed
that under prohibition drunkenness has
increased to an enormous extent. Turn
ing to the statistics of 1918, we find
$4,000 arrests in the city. This shows
that the police have neglected to ar
rest probably 5000 or 5000 DRINKS.
Because if there has been an ''enor-
nous increase of drunkenness over
years in which there was no prohibit
ton of course there must have been
at least 5000 DRINKS that escaped ar
rest. This ought to make another
crouch for the New York World

What Next?

The most grevious prohibition is
that which prevents free American
citizens from obtaining heroin, CO.
caine. etc. Where is our boasted lib
erty? These prohibitory laws were
sneaked through the legislatures by
cowardly representatives without the
slightest suspicion on the part of the
general public of what was being done.
Reputable people are turned into hypo-
critics and lawbreakers. 1t has even
become a misdemeanor to carry home
supply in ones pocket. And the laws
are ineffective because no adult re-
spects them. Fraud is encouraged be-
cause the worst kind of authorizations
are sold at eXorbitant prices, while
honest druggists are deprived of a
large part of their incomes through
loss of this trade. The next assault on
our liberties will come in the form of
blue pill legislation. 1t is to be hoped
that the public will be aroused suffi-
GENTLY to prevent this last deprivation
of their simple enjoyments. Every
body, write to the papers.

Reproducing Old Engravinos.

An ingenious method of making pho
tographic copies of plates and engrav-
ings in books that cannot be removed
from Libraries, and where the use of
the camera is prohibited, has been de-
vised by Jervis Smith, an Englishman
He coats cardboard with luminous
paint, exposes it to sunlight or electric
arc light, and then places 1t at the
back of the engraving, while the pho
tographic plate is placed on the face of
the engraving. The book is closed, and
after one hour, depending largely on
the thickness Of the paper, satisfac-
tory negative is produced. The book
is inclosed in a black cloth during the
manipulation, from which the book
takes no harm.

Thoughts Of Today
Ideal Working Conditions

The soviet government of Russia
has been established to be the ne plus
ultra of the working man." He's ev-
erything, everybody else nothing. But
if he should strike-well, when he
does strike he is liable to imprison-
ment for five years and to have his
family deprived of their food cards
By the way, what do they do with
strike sympathzers? The newspapers
don't say. If | were muscle working
man | think l would think twice be-
fore migrating to Russia and the sec
0nd thought would be lifelong

Cure for Grafters

People become very close and in
summer very warm friends when trav-
cling in the New York city subway, so
that the appeal for flexible fares made
by the management hardly affects the
intleXible readers. The subway should
never have been under private man
The city should operate all lines re-
CARELESS of cost, and the fare should
be reduced to a minimum. Transfers
should be free. We should adopt the
Mikado's methods Grafters should be
made to execute bonds and then be put
II bonds and executed.

Winter Worries

Winter brings its own dis
eases, calling for a change OF
pills; when the climate ups and
freezes, there's brand-new set
OF ills: so put away the bottles
that the summer saw me buy,
for the frigid winter throttles
all>the ailments OF July. And
with jubilant emotions to the
pharmacy | scoot. and buy up
new pills and potions, hoping
they are worth a hoot. Thus
the winter time is giving salts
faction manifold; for a change
makes life worth living. and it's
routine makes us old. Every
form of stern cndeavor should
be mixed with harmless play Z:
doing one old thing forever
takes ones pep and vim away.
| was tired of taking bitters for
my sunstroke and my hives,
summer dope that human crit
ters must consume or lose their
lives; now | have my winter all
ments, rheumatism, Group and
flu, with the usual derailments
of a wishbone or a thew: all
ments more or less distressing,
foreign and domestic ills; but |
count it quite a blessing to con-
front new kinds of pills. There
is always something cheering,
in this happy life we lead; al
ways some attraction nearing. if
we only give it heed. When the
cold no longer pleases, and the
winter seems a grind, spring
will usher in diseases of a new
and piquant kind. Novelties are
to us trooping, always some
thing new and strange, and the
old world goes a-whooping
down the ringing grooves OF
change, WALT MASON.
