ENFORCEMENT SELF-SUPPORT-
INC

There is a frothing at the mouth
eral Prohibition G o m m S o ner
Haynes is asking for ten million dol
lars for dry law enforcement next
year. The enforcement department
has had more than seven million
dollars for that purpose this year
and has spent during the year for
salaries, rent, travelling and other
expenses, $6,250,095.
The vets say this large sum is a
burden on the taxpayers. 1t is
nothing of the kind If other gov
eminent activities were as self-sup-
porting as the Prohibition depart
ment, raising taxes would be easy,
for there would be little money
needed.
The appraised value of property
seized by Federal Prohibition agents
last year exceeded ten million dor
lars, or approximately four million
dollars in excess of the entire cost of
the enforcement department. Add
to this a million dollars in penalties
assessed against law-breaking brew
ers, and penalties, assessments,
taxes, etc., and the aggregate is
more than fifty million, Of which
more than two million dollars was
paid forthwith.
In the light of these figures a
blind man can see that the depart
ment is more than paying its way
These figures, officials point out, do
not include court fines now being
compiled. These fines will aggre-
gate an immense sum-American

Congressman Hill, Republican, of
Maryland, who during a previous
session of Congress made himself
ridiculous by introducing measure
to repeal the Volstead Act, has again
acted as tool for the vets by in
PRODUCING measure in the House
that would permit the sale of beer
and light wine.
So popular CD was Representative
Hills measure to repeal the Vol
stead Act that no action was ever
taken on it, and his present wet
measure is likely to meet the same
fate.

CRABBE SCORES WELLER THE
WET.

''The Maryland Prohibition Com
missioner's force has been short fol-
many weeks" said Superintendent
George w. Crabbe of the Maryland
Anti-Saloon League, in an interview
in The Baltimore American.
Efforts made in September and
October to get these places filled got
nowhere" he went on to explain.
The individual who had the final say
as to when the places should be fill
ed and who should be appointed,
under the operations of the political
machine which the Commissioner s
Office has become in Maryland, was
urged to let the places be filed. His
reply was: Not damned man is to
be appointed until after the cleo
tion.'"
who is this individual who has
the final say?" Mr.. Crabbe was ask
ed.
"U. s. Senator Ovington e. We'll
ler," replied the Anti-Saloon League
superintendent.
who used the words mot a
damned man is to be appointed until
after the election'?"
'The United States Senator from
Maryland"
Were those his exact words?"
"They were"
ssniA vo,, hAov- h;,,, ,,.1
II did not. But they are his ex-
act words, just the same"
Where did he say them?"
"At the Republican Convention.
Then Mr.. Crabbe put a question:
Weller hasn't denied them, has
he?"
The reporter said he thought not

Anti-Saloon Lacquer with his rather
charming smile, adding us there

"You said I am a Republican-an

II did,"
well, what is the difference be-
tween an Ohio Republican and, a
Maryland Republican,"
There's a difference between
black and white, isn't there? And
there's difference between a Re-
publican a la Ohio and a Republican
a la Maryland"
What is this difference?"
''The Ohio Republican organiza-
ton stands right on prohibition, en-
forcement and all that sort of
thing. The Maryland Republican
organization stands wrong. Mary
land has no State enforcement code.
The Anti-Saloon League is doing
what it may as clearinghouse for
information that should be useful to
enforcement officers, and is doing its
best to serve the State that way. But
the ubiquitous operations of the
Weller machine

his watch.

WHAT THE CHRISTMAS SEALS
MEAN.

The Christmas seals of the Mary
land tuberculosis Association ex-
press a happy sentiment, carry a
noble purpose and serve very prac-
teal end. They are one of the
most popular and appealing signs of
the Christmastide, and every letter
or card or bundle has an added force
and meaning when decorated with
one of them. The plan enables
everyone, poer and rich. to contrib
ute to the work of preventing the
spread of tuberculosis and of caring
for those who have been stricken.
In this matter all are affected, for
the dread disease is no respecter Of
persons or of stations. If the people
wcnM only see what these seals sig
nifty. they would quickly buy the
number necessary to make up the
amount required to carry on the
work, and this can be done il there
is an average contribution of 10
cents for every inhabitant of the
State.
Christmas is rushing upon us and
nhe plain duty is to bAy the seals
early. The price asked is so small
that no one will miss it and in the
end it becomes one OF the finest
Christmas gifts of the year.. for it
goes to helping the helpless and
making life safer for all The senti-
ment of Christmas is in these seals
and in addition they mean the
money which is to sustain the fight
against tuberculosis.

spread beneath. 1t was a peaceful
scene enough, with scarcely a moving
figure visible. He could hardly real
ize that this was the haunt Of out
laws, where only a few hours before
he had been desperately struggling for
life. The daylight revealed no sign
of disorder or pursuit, the only re-
hinder of what had occurred being
the blackened ruins of the burned
cabin almost directly below. Yet
this a deserted and the snow
about appeared untrampled. Thee
sight gave him hope, vet he felt
strangely depressed and unnerved.
The remembrance Of the scene just
witnessed could not be cast of.
He had no reaso to question the
truth of that occasion and it had
impressed him strongly. Macklin was
evidently dying; was already beyond
help. Any breath might prove to be
his last, and it was even then too late
for any doctor to save him. But would
