SMALL TOWNS AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS REAP
GREATER ADVANTAGES FROM PROHIBITION THAN
THE LARGER CITIES HELD BY CHICAGO PAPER

The Chicago News, in discussing the
effects of prohibition and the compare
tive results in big cities and rural COM
munities, has the following to offer:
fed smile to scandals and violations
of the law, to booze running and
graft, to gang operations against the
constitution of the United States, to
all the ruck and debris of disorder
lying like a patch of segregated an
archy, and cynically answers: THAT
is where prohibition counts" And
since the sympathies of many city
men are in tune with this particular
kind Of law violation, they empha-
size the prohibition disorders and
predict a general failure of the law,
whereas such prophecy is not JUS
titled.
Myopia in regard TO social condi-
lions is not an uncommon defect in
the dwellers in cities. The city man
is too likely to consider local prohi-
bition successes and failures as typi-
cal of the entire national priblem. In
that he is mistaken.
In the thousands of country towns
Where does prohibition count? In
many city man the question arouses
only cynical amusement. Indeed
