ATTACKS AGAINST THE
LEAGUE EXPLAINED

DR.. Charles Z. Jefferson, pas
tor of the Broadway Tabernacle
Congregational Church, New
York city, in introducing Super
intendent VIM. H. Anderson for
the annual presentation of the
Anti-Saloon League cause, said:
Il wanted to be here to say a
word on behalf of the Anti
Saloon League. / glory in the
work which it is doing 1t is
the most effective organization
which have ever attempted to
grapple with the liquor oil
garchy. The reason it is hated
is because it is feared, and the
reason it is feared is because it
is so tremendously efficient. 1t
is on the job at all times, and is
a constant terror to evil doors.
For years the liquor hierarchy
carried things with a high hand,
but when the Anti Saloon
League came into the field with
its salaried agents and its learned
lawyers and its effective meth
DDS, the situation began to
change. When you read sar-
castle and venemous things in
the papers about the Anti-Sa-
loon League, remember that
someone has been hurt. The
papers would keep quiet were it
not that the League is bringing
things to pass. Calumny and
Islander and falsehood are COM
mon weapons with men who are
fighting for a wrong cause, but
do not be deceived by what you
read. These men are shrieking
because they are being routed.

LISTENING IN ON
NATIONAL NEWS

A ruling against permits for the
home manufacture of wine from the
juices of dandelions or rhubarb was
predicted on May Is, by Acting Pro-
hibition Commissioner Jones.
On May II under orders from Com
missioner Roy c. Vandercook, of the
Michigan state department of public
safety, two motor boats have gone
into commission to prevent smuggling
of liquor into the United States from
Canada.
On May 10 petitions from 1859 Mis-
sourians asking modification of the
Volstead law to permit manufacture
and sale of light wines and beer were
presented to the House by Repre-
sentative Kahn, Republican, of Cali
fornia.
On May IS the United States SUI
preme Court held that whisky in bond
may not be shipped through Ameri-
can ports from one, foreign country
to the same foreign country or to an
other foreign country. The test case
was brought by tht Anchor line OF

THE CODE OF THE
CITIZEN
(lllinois State Journal)

y
Maud Wood Park, addressing
the International League OF
Women Voters, in session at
Baltimore, told her audience
that there are six points in wom-
ans duty as citizen. First. she
should always vote and her vote
should be cast as her conscience
dictates. Second, she should
obey and uphold every law, even
when she is not in full sympathy
with it. The other four are
superfluous.
These two are enough for
either male or female citizen.
Neither requires more in the
way of civic guide.
If every voter did his duty at
every election and primary and
voted as his conscience die
tated, our country would have
few serious problems. Many of
the most complex questions by
which we arc afflicted, are
chargeable directly to his indif-
ference to his franchise duties
and his neglect of this obliga-
ton as voter OH election day.
Bad government is sure to re-
suit when the voter sleeps.
The rest of our troubles are
chargeable to our contempt for
our own laws.

BREWERS TURN PLANTS
INTO CANDY FACTORIES
Confectionery Fifth in Industries Ben
Gifted by Prohibition

Chicago Daily News, May II, 1929
Brewers are rapidly becoming candy
manufacturers. The quick transition
from the days of old John Barleycorn,
when they made the thirst-quenchng
amber fluid, to 1922, when their plants
are devoted to the manufacture of con-
fectionery, will be one of the features
which will be visualized at the candy
show, which is to be held in the Coli
scum the week of May %, while the
manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers
and candy statesmen are holding their
big conventions at the Drake hotel.
The plant OF the brewery which
manufactured the beer that made
Milwaukee famous" is turning out
chocolates by the ton and will have an
exhibit at the Coliseum exposition.
Many other breweries in other parts
of the country also have been turned
into candy factories, according to
Felix Mcndelsohn, general manager
of the exposition.
Not Sole Beneficiary
While it is admitted that the con-
fectionery industry profited somewhat
from Prohibition, its business was
not increased as much as the general
public believes. Many men who used
to drink heavily during the heyday of
the saloon now have box of choco
lates in their desk because of the alco-
holc content in sugar, but Walter c.
Hughes, secretary of the National
Confectioners' Association, which will
hold its convention at the Drake May
"a to 20, says that the confectionery
industry is not the illegal heir Of the
saloon" as many people think, and he
gives some facts to uphold this con-
tention.
"Of course the candy industry ben
Gifted from Prohibition the same as
other industries" said Mr.. Hughes,
because people are spending the
money formerly spent in saloons for
other purposes, but the confectionery
industry is not the legal heir of the
saloon.
at is the fifth in the industries in
the benefits accrued from Prohibition.
The greatest gamer is the savings
bank, then comes the soft drink bust
ness, the third is ice cream and the
fourth the movies and other theaters.

On May Federal District Judge j..
c. Hutchinson at Houston, Texas, de-
cided that it is unlawful for ships
flying the United States flag to carry
Intoxicating liquors even outside the
three-mile limit.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1922-05-19
Economic Results

Intoxicating liquor has been liza
bility economically. 1t has decreased
productive power, increased accidents,
disease and waste. The revenue de-
rived from it in taxes was the most
costly money secured by the govern
ment.
1t is difficult to measure in dollars
and cents the economic results OF
Prohibition because of the abnormal
financial conditions throughout the
whole world. 1t is we'll to remember
at the outset that the United States
has stopped, through Prohibition,
large waste of food, fuel and funds
used in making harmful beverage
and is financing and feeding starving
Europe to large extent. 1t is also
well to keep in mind that. even if we
had the money to feed Europe, we
might not have the food to do so ii we
had not stopped the waste of lo,o55,-
rs bushels of grain in making dis
titled liquors and 1,o0o,ooS,457 pounds
of food material in making fermented
liquor.
The people of this country by the
ratification of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, decided that drinking intoxicat-
ing LIQUOR was a means both in war
and in peace; that a. it reduced the
efficiency OF soldiers in time of war,
il. for the same reason, reduced the
efficiency OF men in the factories,
shops, mines, farms and Offices; that
saloons should no longer be tolerated
as the rendezvous of the assassins of
democracy; that politics should be
purified OF saloon and brewery infiu-
ences, and they declared that they
were tired of witnessing the woe and
poverty OF the cities traceable to the
liquor traffic.
Here are some other items that we
should take into account: This ma
ton was spending $500, 100000 year
for Intoxicating liquors, an expenditure
which added nothing to its health,
wealth or productivity. 1t is also con-
servatively estimated that the indirect
loss from the liquor traffic in increased
accidents, loss of time, cost of liquor
produced criminals, and brok e n
homes, amounted to more than the
direct cost. The most expensive item
in a nations budget is that of wrecked
lives.
The controller of the currency stated

percentage of cases in which drinl

The Survey sent ont QUESTIONABLE
TO family welfare agencies in the au
tumn OF 1921 as to the role unemploy
ment and other problems were playing
in restitution. In the summary of re
plies (Oct. IS, 1920 the Survey said
The little stress placed at the
present time upon intemperance
as a contributing factor in pow
erty is one of the interesting
points brought out by replies to
the QUESTIONABLE. Stockton Ray
mond, general secretary of the
Family Welfare Society of Bos-
ton, states that zone fact stands
out above all others. Intemper-
ance under Prohibition has been
decreasing factor in the work of
the Family Welfare Society" 1t
has thus been possible for the or
ganization ito undertake a great
ventive work instead OF wasting
time trying TO alleviate suffering
which could not fail to exist I'M
der such an evil as licensed liquor
selling"
The Charity Organization Sooiet,
of New York City found in 1916, If
5000 families, sos adversely affected
by intemperance. or 1919 per cent; ir
1921, out of 2,34o families, 1877, or rs
per cent, were affected by intemper-
ance.
c. c. Carstens c: New York, head
of the Child Welfare League of Amer
lea, says: THE number of neglected
children removed through court &C
ton from families where one or botl
parents drank has been materially de
creased. This decrease is so marked
that in certain cities reports come tc
them that drunkenness has ceased tc
be factor for the removal OF chill
dren."
In a report made at indianapolis by
the superintendent of schools, Z. L
Grass, he declared that teachers are
unanimous in their opinion that since
Prohibition pupils are better fed, bet.
ter clothed. more regular in attend
ance, more punctual, less anemic
healthier and happier.
Commander Evangeline Booth oil
the Salvation Army says that there is
a marked improvement in the condi-
ton of young children; that the better
prenatal care of mothers, more food
improved clothing, more money, and
the absence OF inebriation all tell in
the lifc's chance OF the infants.
President Harding's views on this
subject are as follows:
In every community men and
women have had an opportunity
now to know what Prohibition
means. They know that debts are
more promptly paid, that men
take home the wages that once
were wasted in saloons, that fam
lilies are better clothed and fed,
and more money finds its way into
the savings banks. The liquor
traffic was destructive of much
that was most precious in Ameri-
can life. In the face of so much
evidence on that. point, what con-
scientious man would want to let
his own selfish desires influence
him TO vote to bring it back? In
another generation believe that
liquor will have disappeared not
merely from our politics, but from
our memories.

Chic Sales Rural Air
Natural, Not Assumed

Charles Sale. better known as Chic, Is
always himself, whether on the street OF
on Keith's stage. Most artists when be-
fore the footlights assume characte'
roles wholly unlike themselves. On the
stage, on the street, at home. wherever
he may chance to be, Chic Sale Is just
his natural self. The rural characters
he portrays are his own people, the peo-
pie among whom he was born and raised
He Is still one of them, and his contact
with the rest of the world has left him
unchanged internally.
Chic Is rural by nature. loves the
countryside. and has a heart OF tiller
OF the soil His life is actually bound
up in them, and his uncles, aunts.
cousins. neighbors. friends, and even his
own boyhood. are all woven into the tex
ture of his artistry.
Mr. Sale says in the little speech
which he makes at the close of his offer
ing: 'T wouldn't do or say anything to
hurt the feelings of the originals Of the
characters which / depict for anything
In the world, because they are my peo-
ple." When vacation time comes, after
an active season on the circuit. Chic"
can't get back home among his people
any too quickly
For the next fortnight he will play in
and around New York. beginning his
second week at the Palace tomorrow
