PROGRESS OF PROHIBITION
(springfcld Register)

Register
225.000,000 gallons of such liquor: in
1915. due to the spread of state Pro-
hibition, this amount had dropped to
about 2,000,000,000 gallons; in 1919,
under the urge of wartime Prohibi-
ton. this total had further decreased
to below 1000,000,000 gallons, and
during the first year of National Pro-
hibition only abou. one-third this
amount was drunk, or about 525000,-
900 gallons in all.
Admittedly there is an orgy of 1iq-
uor law violations. The friends of
Prohibition have expected too much
and have done too little. They have
made no effort to correct the absurd
features of the National Prohibition
Act relative to search and seizure
They have been too lcnicnt with To-
cal officers who could enforce the
law il they wanted to, but who sell
out for political or other reasons.
They concern themselves with law
enforcement after rather than before
elction.
But progress is being made. As
one former soak remarked TO the
writer: when the old timers who
think they must have their liquor
have passed away, Prohibition will
make greater progress. The old cor
ner saloon has gone and with it has
gone the temptation for boys. Few.
new drunkards are being developed
Think what that means decade

And there is a lot of common
sense in those alcoholic conclusions.

gested by President Harding in a
letter to Senator George Wharton
Pepper. The president declared that
further delay in the resumption Of

Among the mine workers 10 demands
