RALPH A. DAY MAY BE
MADE N. Y. DRY CHIEF

New York newspapers have pretty
generally announced that the new
State Prohibition Director IS to be
Mr.. Ralph A. Day. a member OF the
National Republican Club who is by
business a clothing manufacturer. 1t
is also announced that he is to be as
sisted by Mr.. John 5. Parsons OF
Oswego till now executive auditor to
Governor Miller, and that he is to oc-
cupy the position of chief enforce
ment officer. Mr.. Day has never held
public office except as member of the
State Industrial Council under Gov
crnor Whitman during. the war.
Mr.. Parsons has been active in
political circles in northern New
York and was appointed executive
auditor by Governor Whitman. New
York American Issue sees in the APP
pointment of these two men an in
dication that the state organization Of
the Republican Party "intends to as
sumo very definite and direct re
sponsbility for efficient management
of the Prohibition office in New
York"

exceeds the number of legitimate
drugstores in business before Prohi-
bition became effective.
Will Cut Out Fly-by-Night Drugstores
We propose to cut down these
mushroom drugstores more than 95
per cent Their sole object is to dis
tribute whisky and reap a rich harvest
but the harvest days are over as far
as we are concerned. In the future
only legitimate concerns applying for
a permit will be granted after a
searching examination of the proposed
site, building, fixtures, ETC.. to see that
the laws requirements are fully met"
Goodbye Fake Drugstores
With the limit fixed at Is gallons
of whisky and 10 gallons of alcohol
per month it is not likely that COM
munities will be bothered with these
fake drugstores any more. The rep
utable druggists are on record against
the medicinal beer proposition, which
action is consistent with the refusal
of the majority of them to take out
permits to prescribe whisky.

TEACHERS PROTEST SALES
TO BRITISH CHILDREN
Manchester Guardian Points Out
This Represents Force That
Molds Opinion
DEMANDS CORRECT NEWS
Suggests Government Closely
Watch Prohibition Policy
In America

The Manchester Guardian in an
editorial in the issue OF October 70
points to encouraging incidents OF th1
past year in the Temperance reform
movement in the British Isles. On
this point the editorial says;
Few years have had SO notable
event to announce As the memo
rial signed by ll5,000 school teach
ers urging that no alcoholic liq-
uor should be sold for on-con-
sumption to children apparently
under IS years of age. The de-
mand may come to nothing but
it is a fact that since 1880 when
the sale of beer to children I'M
der Is was first prohibited, public
opinion on this subject has been
slowly but steadily stiffening and
the organized action OF the teach
ers than whom none know better
the injury done by the excessive
use OF alcohol, IS OF great impor-
lance because it represents not
only opinion but a force that can
itself mold opinion.
The Guardian then makes demand
which seems to be OF tremendous sig
ni6cance. There has been 50 much OF
Misrepresentation spread broadcast
through England concerning Prohi-
bitions effect in the United States
that certainly the Guardians suggcs-
ton as set forth in the following is
justifable. 1t is as follows;
But what seems to us most needed
at the present time is a detailed and
impartial examination of the results
of Prohibition in the United States.
Any enterprising government which
wanted to know what to do and what
not to do with regard to liquor policy
in its own country would be following
this revolutionary experiment in
America with the keenest scrutiny
Everyone ought to know what are
the economic and social results that
are being produced in America Are
the British representatives in America
preparing reports? + so we should
like to see them published If not,
why does not the government appoint a
commission of representative men with
no axes to grind to tell lis what is
happening?

THE NEVERSINK MAY IF
EVIDENCE HOLDS GOOD

Six miles from Reading, Pa, is the
old Neversink distillery Its four
warehouses have capacity of 100,-
900 barrels. The last liquor consist
ing of II barrels OF bonded whisky
and valued at 100000 was seized and
removed by government agents re-
Gently. An attempt had been made
on the day previous to the seizure to
withdraw the liquor on fake per-
nit. This conspiracy was detected in
Director Rutters office when the per-
nit was brought on from New York
to be countersigned by Pennsylvania
officials. Seeing that an effort was
about to be made to violate the law
Mr.. Harvey L. Duncan. the assistant
to the director, took with him a num-
Der of agents and went to the dis
tillery.
Inside the distillery they found
Robert Grossman who was one of the
owners. Against his protest the dis
tillery was forcibly seized by the
agents and the II barrels of whisky
loaded into a box car and shipped to
Philadelphia for safe keeping. Gross
man was arrested for conspiracy and
held in bond of $4,000. 1t is said that
other arrests will be made shortly.

CLAIMS SUN PLAYS TRICKS
WITH ALCOHOLIC CONTENT

The first case asking abatement of
a brewery for alleged violation of the
Nolstead act ever tried in the Cleve-
land court was brought against the
Ebert Brewing and Beverage Com
pany last week. The case was heard
by United States Judge D. c. West
enhaver The government asks that
that the brewery be closed for one
year on the ground that it violated
the law by making beer of more than
one-half of l per cent alcoholic con-
tent. The chief brew master of the
brewery testified that if near-beer is
left in the sun within ten minutes so
much fermentation and increase in al
coholic content take place that the
difference from another bottle kept
cold can be tasted.

GLOBE SCORES Indifference OF CANADIAN
: OFFICIALS TO VIOLATION OF U. S. DRY LAW
Customs Department Considers None of Their Business What
Becomes of Liquor They Clear for Export Woudbe Viola
of u. S. Prohibition Find Ample Supply of Liquor

The Toronto Globe interprets the
increase in imports of whisky and
other liquors during the past two
years into Canada despite the fact that
most of Canada is dry, to mean that
Canada is being used by the liquor
manufacturers of the world as a gate
way to pass their output into the
United States. On this point the
Globe says:
We are as people smuggling
or conniving at smuggling OF a
million gallons year or more of
whisky on which Canada collects
duty before it finds its way into
our neighbours back yard
The Case of Cecil Smith
The Globe characterizes these
transactions as "Canada's shame"
The Globe cites one typical incident
1t concerns former taxi driver of
Windsor named Cecil Smith. Smith
confessed that sipce 1919 when he
went into the liquor business he has
paid for friends no less than $4,000
in fines for contraventions of the On
tario temperance act. But, he added
as if in complete mitigation, he never
sold drop of liquor in Ontario, all
his customers being in the United
States. Cecil Smiths latest escapade
earned him a sentence of five years in
prison, but his offense was not selling
liquor in the United States. That is
not recognized as an ohense in Cana
dian courts. Neither was he sent to
prison because of his connection with
20 men who were found unloading
carload of whisky into seven motor
trucks and five automobiles. Where
he ran foul of the Canadian law was
in offering a policeman $1,000 to take
a walk while the car in question was
being unloaded.
Canadian Soil Dishonored
The Toronto Globe says:
The incident proves that Cana
dian soil is dishonored and the
good name of Canada dragged in
'the dust by scoundrels who make

fortunes by providing Our neigh
bors to the south with the means
of debauchery in defiance of the
laws of the United States.
The action of the customs de-
partment in clearing shipments of
liquor for export from border
ports to the United States makes
the government and people of
Canada partners in the illicit
trade. 1t is humiliating thing to
read that following upon recent
judicial decision favoring export,
the official attitude toward this
traffic is that of indifference if not
indeed of sympathy with the
smugglers. What becomes OF the
vessels laden with liquor after
they leave Canadian ports is said
to be none of the business" of the
customs department of Canada.
Calls for Action by Canada
The Globe urges that the Canadian
customs department should issue a
ruling refusing to clear Canadian
whisky to the United States. Failing
such action the Canadian Parliament
should pass whatever legislation may
be necessary. Since magistrates de-
cision early in October that liquor ex-
ports to the United States are legal if
cleared through Canadian customs
house, ten charters have been granted
to export companies" frankly organ
lied to do business with the United
States. They have no difficulty in
finding an ample supply of liquor in
Canada even in the dry provinces
where distilleries are still running for
of liquor not to be sold
within the province
Undoubtedly the Toronto Globe
expresses the sentiment of the best
people of Canada in condemning the
governments indifference to this con-
dition that encourages Canadian booze
dealers to defy the laws of free ma
ton. Perhaps the surest guarantee
of complete correction of this evil is
world Prohibition.

BUFFALO ELECTS MAYOR
ON BEER AND WINE ISSUE

Frank L. Schwab running on plat
form declaring for amendment of the
Volstead act to permit the sale OF beer
and light wines, was elected mayor OF
Buffalo, N. Y, by majority of 1858.
Schwab declared during his campaign
speeches that a vote for him would be
a protest against the Prohibition laws
as they now stand
When a mayor of city the size
and prominence of Buffalo can be
elected on the beer and wine issue,
isn't it folly for any dry to fool him
self with the idea that the fight against
the liquor traffic is over in this coun-
try simply because we have a
Prohibition constitutional amendment
backed up with federal legislation?
