TELLS OF LIQUOR
LAWS in NORWAY
And THEIR VALUE
lecturer Says Scientific
Regulation Orders
Help. Sobriety.

The unusual. means taken by
Norway to introduce temperance
legislation was feature of B. K.
Baumgardt's lecture on "Scandina-
via" before members OF the National
Geographic Society last night.
The trainers Of the legislation sat
year, and the preamble OF their
comprehensive report stated that
the nation had no right to interfere
with a mans personal drinking
privileges, but that it might regu-
late the liquor traffic.
AS result saloons hadeto be ac-
companied by eating places and
savings banks. The saloons closed
at p. IN. and the banks Remained
open until midnight. NoN saloon
might be nearer than half a mile
fromsthe next one, and no person
might be served more than one
drink each twenty-five minutes.
Treating was not permitted and the
barmaids usually are elderly wo-
men.
As a result. he stated, education
has taken tremendous strides and
drinking has decreased. The basis
OF Swedish and Norwegian educa-
tion, he said. is the development OF
a sound body. The Russian soviets
have adopted the Norwegian educa-
tiOnal system.
When Norway was separated
from Sweden, Baumgardt said, II
wanted to be a republic. The kaiser
declared there should be no more
republics in Europe and sent TWEEN
ty-twO warships to pay a friendly
visit until a king was enthroned.
Despite this interference the con-
stitutiOn and government OF the
country are essentially republican.

BRILLIANT RECORD
AS SOLDIER FAILS
TO STOP SENTENCE
Capt. Morgan Given 2H
Year Term on Fraud
ulent Check Charge.

Capt Charles ]. Morgan, possessor
of the Distinguished Service Medal
for notable actions while a member
of the A. Z. F., yesterday was SEN
| fenced by Justice Ashley NJ. Gould,
of Criminal Court, No. l, to two and
a half years in the penitentiary. Nor
gan's shining military record did
not save him from a sizeable term,
though the court demonstrated IL
reposed some trust in him by allow
ing him to visit his family at Nor
| folk during the holiday season, and
| it is believed his achievements over
| seas saved him a considerably long
er sentence.
Capt. Morgan pleaded guilty TO
passing a fraudulent check for $3.50
drawn on the Rockford National
Bank, of Rockford, Ill, on Capt.
Walter B. Howe, a former assistant
District Attorney, on September Is,
1919.
The army hero contended that
because he was "gassed" he was not
aware of the nature and quality Of
his act when he obtained the money
from Capt. Howe.
Captured After Long Chase.
The court interrupted him and re-
minded him that his "gassed" con-
dition did not prevent him seeking
and securing employment as a civil
engineer in Alaska at a high salary.
II he was competent enough to un-
derstand and perform the hazardous
work required in that locality, the
court held, he was able to dis,
tinguish right and wrong.
Morgan was brought to Washing
ton September 10 last after a chase
of 5000 miles by deputy marshals
who found him at Menana. Alaska.
| The trip cost the government al
most a dollar mile.
Assistant District Attorney Paul
B. Cromelin told the court about

lated an incident in which Morgan.
although shot through one arm,
continued to use his automatic
with deadly effect on the advanc-
ing German hOrdes. At this time.
it was explained. Morgan was a
captain in the Marine Corps. Short

planned, he enlisted in the army and
was again commissioned a captain.
The prisoners other record was
shown to the court by the prOba-
tion offcer who declared that Nor
gan was in prison once before for
the alleged theft OF some letters.
This is said to have occurred when
he was an enlisted man.
He was tried by a court-martial
and sentenced to serve FIVE years.

to three years at Fort LeaCenwOrth

judicious II would be a travesty II
the prison doors were opened and an

and women who opposed Americas par
ticipation in tho war VIII not be forth
coming Tho President has adopted
the proper course in this matter. one
which should meet with widespread
approval.
Those who favor freedom for all
these prisoners cite the fact that most
Of the European countries which were
in the war have pardoned their
politicals" That Is true; but we must
not forget that only minor offenders
were behind the bars when the armistice
was signed Those guilty Of major
crimes had been lined up against stone
walls and shot long ago.
No one was put to death in America
for treason, or high crimes and mis-
demeanors" against the United States.
Instead we adopted softer policy. and
placed such gentry in Jail For this
reason we say that tho President is
right in not favoring general am
nesty. That he is willing to consider
each case on its merits speaks well
for Mr. Harding's sense of fair play
We do not believe that any self-styled
political prisoner viii have cause to say
that he was not treated justly when
Mr. Harding finishes reviewing the
records.
