BISHOP MATHEWS, EMINENT
u. B. CHURCHMAN, DIES

The cause of Prohibition and in fact
every reform, lost a staunch friend
and supporter in the death of Bishop
George Mathews of the United
Brethren Church who died at his home
i'll Dayton, Ohio, April ).
Bishop Mathews was the Senior
Bishop OF the United Brethren Church
and was active until he was stricken
several weeks ago following his return
from the east where he attended the
Federal Council of Churches. He
was u years old. In 1870 Bishop
Mathews graduated from Otterbein
College at Westerville, Ohio.
For several years he taught school
in Columbus and Hamilton and later
entered Lane Seminary at Cincinnati
for two-year term.
For many years preceding his death
Bishop Mathews was the first vice
president OF the Anti-Saloon League
of America. He attended many of the
conferences of the League during re-
cent years and his counsel was al
ways eagerly sought by leaders of the
organization.

INVESTIGATION SHOWS
BROADWAY is DRYING UP

The survey which is being made by
Robert Z. Corradini, secretary for
Italian work of the Anti-Saloon
League of New York, of saloons still
open and apparently selling liquor on
the island of Manhattan, shows that
on Broadway only p per cent of the
old saloons are still doing business.
The Broadway survey beginning at
the Customs House and covering APP
proximately twelve miles, reveals that
of 10 places formerly holding regu-
lar liquor licenses including IS OF the
largest hotels, only Al places are APP
parently unchanged under Prohibi-
ton. 1t is the Tammany sections
which still tolerate and support the
saloons most largely and anyone ia
miliar with Tammany knows why.

Brewers Introduce Reform" Ii
censing Measure in House
of Commons
WOULD FORESTALL DRYS
Wet Bill Demands Every Posi-
bic Concession to Trade the
Public Will Stand

The British brewers have proposed
reform" scheme in the form of a
licensing bill introduced in the House
of Commons by Col. John Gretton
and supported by number of con-
servative members of Parliament,
says special copyright cable to the
New York Herald of April 9. The
dispatch says:
The measure represents an at
tempt by the liquor trade to reform
itself instead of letting others reform
it. 1t aims to let down the bars all
around and makes clean sweep of
the present liquor control board,
which is war body, and greatly in
creases the hours of sale although it
reduces the pre-war hours by nearly
one-half. The measure gives the Ii
censed victualler new protection
against decisions by licensing justices
and subjects clubs to the same hours
as public houses.
Before the war places selling liq-
uor were allowed to keep open 1917
hours in London, II hours i'll other
towns and 10 in the country. The
present rule is hours daily. 1t is
proposed to allow places to keep open
not more than II hours and not more
than 10 hours.
mo alteration of the summer Sun
day hours is proposed but in Wales
there will be no Sunday selling under
the proposed measure. The hours
may be continuous or with intervals
of closing. This is to be fixed in
each town and country parish by IL
censing justices of the district but the
rules may vary in regard to particu-
lar premises. Liquor may be sold at
any time in railway refreshment
rooms to persons arriving from dis
tances of not less than 20 miles. At

during the prohibition hours. I'm

old status. That is, a person who on
the previous night lodged at three
miles from the place in which he asks
liquors may be supplied at any time"
The announcement that British
brewers are to bring about their own
reform will cause the experienced
Anti-Saloon League worker in this
country to smile. Scarcely a brew
ers' convention ever convened in the
United States that failed to pass res
olutions declaring for strict observ-
ance of all license laws or that failed
to pledge immediate reform in the

but is in entire harmony with another
part OF the same statute. rs the
part which is not in conflict with the
federal law sustaining and capa-
bic of enforcement" he asked, and
answered as follows:
"In our opinion so much of the act
of this state as prohibits the sale of
liquor is still in force. 1t can not be
questioned that the Legislature might
have repealed the provisions of the
Brooks law authorizing the granting
of licenses, leaving in force the pro-
hibtory provisions thereof, and il this
might have been done why is not the
same result accomplished by the para
mount authority OF the amended Con-
stitution?
THE effect of that instrument is to
invalidate all state laws not consistent
Herewith but it does not operate on
any legislation compatible herewith.
We regard the Brooks law as legisla-
ton on two subjects clearly distin.
guishablc-the granting of licenses to
sell and prohibition of sale by per-
sons not licensed. If the authority to
license is removed we sec no reason
for holding that permission to sell
without license is affected. Our con-
illusions arc, therefore,
% That by operation Of the
Eighteenth Amendment to the

tory law by Congress so much OF

said in an address at Miami,

tics relative to insanity in the follow
ng letter to the Los Angeles Time

March Is, 1921.
Editor Los Angeles Times,
Los Angeles, California.
Sir:
The Times this morning re-
ports DR.. James Whitney Hall
testified that insanity has in
creased Is per cent in Chicago in
the last year and half and at
tributed it to Prohibition.
This statement seems singular.
On March 2, 1921, the Illinois De-
partment of Public Welfare stated
there were 1923 cases of insan-
ity in the hospitals OF the state
on January 1, 1919 and 1924 on
January |, 1921.
From 1904 to 1910 insanity
increased in Illinois 3.5 per Cent
annually or much more rapidly
than the general population, and
only l.3 per cent annually since
Prohibition went into effect.
Insanity in Illinois is now in
creasing at much slower rate
than the general population of
the state. =
For many years prior to Ma
tional Prohibition insanity in
creased in California at the rate of
SO per cent annually. The in
crease from January l, 1910 TO
January l.. 1921 was only 50 cases
or 1904 less than the number
there would have been if the nor
NAL increase from 1904 to January
l, 1919 had continued.
The California Lunacy Com
mission recently stated the main
tenance cost of the insane in 1920
was $l,832 per capita.
1t appears the taxpayers of
California are being saved by Ma
tional Prohibition, in the care of
our insane, about 1904 cases at
1882 each, or about two million
dollars annually. a

KEEP STEP IN ITALY

According to report to the State
Department at Washington wine and
strikes go together in Italy. This is
a conclusion arrived at after study
of wine consumption in different parts
OF the kingdom by Counsel Sticks.
Mr.. Sticks cites that more wine is
drunk in the colder section of Italy
than in the warmer, that country peo-
pie drink more wine than city dwell
ers, and that more wine is consumed
during strikes than at any other time.

Perhaps the trade have discovered
that pint of liquor may produce in

drunkenness among children. How
