A SUGGESTION
(The Connoner)

More than fifty forgers are in
the Nebraska penitentiary and
lot of them outside. In fact
cases of forgeries are getting
more numerous than burglarics
and holdups. The seeming in
ability of the law enforcement
officers to prevent the fractur-
ing OF the statute against for
gerry will undoubtedly lead to a
strong movement to secure the
repeal of all laws making it a
crime on the ground that to
continue it will teach disrespect
for the law to our young.
When the movement progresses
far enough, we shall suggest that
it take over the organization of
New Jersey vets who have been
olamoring for the repeal of Pro-
hibition on the same theory and
grounds.

The people OF three more independ
ent states of India have come to grips
with the liquor traffic. The states OF
Limbri, Paranpur, and Bhavanagar, all
in Bombay presidency, have closed up
all their liquor shops and Limbri has
also closed its distillery.
Native Ruler Advised" to Reopen
Grog Shops
Some time ago, the Begun OF
Bhopal, the ancient Mohammedan
state, in the United Provinces, issued
Prohibition cdict for her domain but
is now in trouble with the British au-
thorities for doing so. The British
Resident has advised" her to revoke
the dry edict, reopen the grog shops
and get some revenue" out OF it.
The Begun does not want II do it,
but the advice" OF the British resi-
dent is equivalent to demand and
the demand is backed up by the Brit
ish army OF occupation. SO the Be-
gum may be compelled to submit
The Begun OF Bhopal is the only
woman ruler of an independent state
in India She is a devout Moslem,
always appears yelled in public and is
keenly interested in all uplift measures
in addition to the elimination of the
alcohol traffic. She is opposed to the
drink which is "haram" to the loyal
Moslem. Bhopal ranks next to Hy-
derabad in Importance among the Mo-
hammcdan states of India.

The sixty-ninth annual report OF the
United Kingdom Alliance, well known
dry organization OF England, is full o.
interesting matter. From beginning
to end the report records nothing but
steady progress for the dry forces OF
Great Britain.
Attention is called to the memorial
signed by 1889 school teachers of
Great Britain, urging the passing OF
measure prohibiting the sale OF in
toxcants to young persons. Every
grade of school was represented i'll the
memorial from Eaton and Rugby to
the humble village school. The re-
port says, Never before has the
teaching profession spoken out as a
whole like this on matter entrusted
to its care"
Tic annual meeting OF the United
Kingdom Alliance attracted large
crowds to the big hall in Manchester,
where the sessions were held. The
presiding officer said that the drink
evil was more dangerous at the present
time than it had ever been, and that
anyone who had properly examined
the figures OF the drink bill must
surely realize that drink was Cor
tributory cause of unemployment.
Last year the United Kingdom spent
H6,000,000 pounds on drink, and this
money was spent at the expense of
the necessities OF life. -Four days OF
total abstinence would give Dir. Nan
sen what he wanted to feed needy
Russia said the speaker.
According 20 Philip Snowden, Great
Britain is spending two and one-half
times more on drnki than on armament,
and the result is at least two and one
half times more destructive. There
are too many non-producers in the
nations economic system, but even
worse are the producers who arc en-
gagged in destroying wealth and caus-
ing the mental, moral and physical de-
terioration of the race. The temper
ance movement, Mr. Snowden said,
was the greatest OF all anti-waste cru
sades. and sooner or later the people
would see this and realize that peace
true economy, and sobriety arc the
only lasting foundation on which the
industrial prosperity OF the people
can be based.
Over in England, as in this country
several years ago, the liquor interests
are wanting compensation if the trade
is put out of business. The section OF
the report OF the United Kingdom Al
lance dealing with this question OF
compensation, concludes:
When The Trade" can produce
a record showing a drink traffic
carried ON without injury to the
national health and morality,
without national loss OF efficiency,
without waste of the national re-
sources. and without diminution
OF national happiness-then we
might be asked to reconsider the
situation. Meanwhile the nation

operate in the enforcement of
this law, and it is expressly made
the duty of the sheriff and deputy
sheriff, the chief of police and all
policemen, marshals, constahles
or other peace officers to enforce
the provisions of the said act; TO
investigate diligently any ard all
charges that the said law is being
violated; to secure evidence of
the same il possible, and to make
signed complaint against any
and all persons who violate any
of the terms and provisions of the
said act
The Chicago Herald and Examiner
quoted Mr.. Ettelson as follows
My first orders from the mayor
said: Find the law and then enforce
It. | have never known him to hest
tate i'll doing his duty. He closed the
saloons on Sunday you will remem-
Der, because the law said saloons
must be closed on that day"
The same article quoted Mayor
Thompson OF Chicago as follows:
THE law is on the statute books. 1t
must be enforced"
Stop Sale of Stills
An additional police order to the
effect that all stills offered for sale
arc to be conhscated by the police and
the proprietors of the stores in which
they are displayed are to be arrested
was made public by Chief Fitzmorris
on December 10Th The order covered
not only stills connected up but also
those Sold i'll separate units. The po-
lice were also informed that hereafter
when liquor is found upon any oc-
cupant of an automobile the car will
be driven to the city garage and held
pending an order OF the court. This
order is based on Section 81 OF the
illinois act: UNLESS good cause to
,hc contrary is shown the court shall
order a sale by public auction OF the
property seized referring to ANY
wagon, buggy automobile, water or
air craft, or other vehicle" used in
the illegal transportation of liquor.
Many Saloons Close
As a result of the enforcement
activities of the police it is expected
that more than 900 OF the $500
places operating since Prohibition be
came effective will close their doors.
Many have already closed since the
chiefs order was issued.
New Year Will Be Dry
Drinking on New Years Eve will
probably be reduced to lower point
than ever before in the history of
Chicago. Many hotels will have their
own Astertivess to help prevent viola
lions of the law. The Chief of Police
has announced that every resource of
the department will be used on New
Years Eve to arrest persons who fail
TO observe the provisions OF the Hi
nois Prohibition act.
