The results show that 345 leaders be-
lieved that Prohibition was a benefit
to the laboring man, 143 said it was
no benefit, while thirty-one were
doubtful, and seven said that Prohi-
bition had not been given'a fair trial.
az. The testimony given by the
bankers Of the land was to the effect
that prohibition had increased bank
deposits largely, that money which
used to pass over the bar was now
being used for the purchase of food
and clothes for children and the up
keep of homes.
"8. The final fact which was dis
covered by Mr.. Gordon's survey was
that the number of families in the
land brought to want and suffering
because of drink is greatly decreased.
This is perhaps the greatest evidence
of the success of prohibition that may
be found for the family is the basic
institution of society.
''In pursuing the truth here Mr..
Gordon went to the records OF the
Charity Organizations in various cit
les, report in the decrease in the
number of families brought to the at
tention of these organizations as
needing assistance because OF liquor
is as follows:

Then launching into his address,
Mr.. Vincent called attention to the
great cost of the World warm hu-
man lives, in crippled and manned
bodies, the cost in property and in
money, cost to the United States
greater than the entire cost of con-
Quoting the government during the
1876 years from its founding to the
time of World war, and including
the cost of the Revolution, the War
of 1912, the Mexican War and the
Civil War, the cost to France,
which nearly equals the wealth OF
that nation, the cost TO Great Brit
ain, and the cost to Germany, which
Il she must pay the reparaticns de-
manded is 125 per cent Of her en-
ire wealth, and the great cost in
human lives, in crippled and manned.
Continuing he said that the white
race could not stand another such
holocaust if il is to maintain its SUI
premacy in the world.
He then painted for his audience
the conditions in two villages just
four miles apart in France and AL
SAGE where he was during the war
for a short period. The difference in
customs, the difference in speech, and
he deep hatred between the nation
alities was shown, ard yet he said a
man could come from each village to
this country, purchase adjoining
arms, settle down and become good
friends and good neighbors, while
here the national hatred is so great
hat there is practically no inter-
curse between the villages.
Then turning to this country he
pointed out the long stretch of ma
ional boundary beween the United
states and Canada, and Alaska and
,anada, where two proud nations in
list on their rights, but where for n
l period of century there has been
10 armed soldier, no forts and no

"When one takes into account the
act that our big cities are the "wet-
est spots in our land, and also the
urther fact that since the enactment
# the prohibition amendment, officers
# the law have been more active in
rresting DRINKS than ever before,
because they had better grounds, the
igures here given are most interest
ng.
Judge Gemmill of Chicago, who
,uring the last few months has stud
I'd with care the effect of the prohi-
tion law, corroborates the findings
# Mr.. Gordon. He states; There has
zen a decrease in the number of per-
,ons arrested in America for drunk
mess, of over six hundred thousand
)er year. This figure is estimated of
curse, but it is based upon figures
ave for all of the largest cities of
he United Sattes. In most of these
he decrease is from 100 to 400 per
.ent.
"2. Mr.. Gordon finds also that al
oholism has been reduced in our
country very greatly.
According to we'll authenticated
ecords deaths because of alcohol in
New York City, which, by the way, is
,ur "wettest" portion of the country,
numbered 687 in 1915. They were
,nly 119 in 1921.
"Prior to the enactment of the pro-
iibition amendment there were in the
United States, 68 Neal Institutes for
he treatment Of alcoholics. Records
how that twelve years prior to pro-
libition these institutions enrolled
l25,000 patients. Today the doors of
he whole 68, are either closed or the
buildings are used for purposes other
han the treatment Of alcoholics.
prior to the coming of prohibition
here were so institutions where the
Kelly cure was given to patients. To-
lay all but twelve of these are out of
commission and those twelve have lit
lie to do.
"The Washington Home, for the
are of inebriates in Chicago, had 995
patients in 1917. It's doors are now
closed.
DIR. Horatio Pollock, Statistician of

New York, confirming Mr.. Gordon's
indings on this point wrote him a.

ions in this country solely for in

"In conclusion, Mr.. Gordon sums up
lie conviction he has been led to form
by study of the facts here given, by
stating that to him the enactment of
the Prohibition Amendment was the
greatest piece Of humanitarian legis-
lation ever put thru by the govern
ment; and he makes a plea that
Americans realize the blessings they
have received thereby and do not let
them Slip If America, having now
gone dry, and gained wonderful po-
sition in the eyes of all the world,
presently returns to the slough out
of which she came, the clause Of free
dom from liquors curse will be re-
tarded for years throughout the whole
world.
at is not true that prohibition has
failed. When the facts are known
exactly, the reverse is found to be the
case. What right-minded citizens
need is knowledge Of the facts such

Confirming his own findings again
by references TO the investigations of
others Mr.. Gordon quotes another
portion of the letter Of Judge Gem
mill previously referred to- He writes,
Let me again refer to my letter from
Judge Gemmill, who has been collect
ing prison statistics for the past sew
en- years Twenty per cent, of the
jails in the United States have been
without prisoners since Prohibition
went into effect, and in eighty per
cent Of them the number of prisoners
has been reduced anywhere from fif-
teen per cent to eighty per cent
"a The fourth fact discovered by
Mr.. Gordon, is the death rate in the
United States of America, has de-
creased since prohibition has been en-
forced. In the decade between 1910,
and 1920, deaths have decreased by
1870 individuals per 100000 Deaths
resulting from degenerative diseases,
such as result from the use of strong
drink, show a decrease Of ten per cent
and deaths from accident show a de-
crease of eighteen per cent.
"5. Mr.. Gordon found that indus
trial leaders believed prohibition to
be benefit almost to a man. One
letter from those which he quotes
must serve our purpose here. The
letter came from Mr.. H. l.. Badham,
President Of the Besscmer Coal, Iron
and Land Company, of Birmingham,
Ala.
You ask regarding Prohibition
Does it prohibit? Not entirely SO,
but if you had known the life Of Biz

"'You will be able to gather all Of
these facts, and | don't think it is
necessary to go into details, but there
are thousand reasons for the main
tenance of Prohibition laws, and you
can say to the world that America
will never again stand for the open
saloon
IS. That the laboring man as
class is of like mind seems likely. On
this point Mr.. Gordon writes as fol-
lows
Mr.. James Duncan, Secretary Of
the American Federation Of Labor, in
Seattle, Washington, is one of the la
Dor leaders who stand ready to con-
firm this assertion. Mr.. Duncan de-
clares that Mr.. Samuel Gompers, in
his attitude opposing the Volstead
Law, does not represent the three
million members of the American
Federation of Labor, which he heads.
If the Prohibition question was put to
vote tomorrow, Mr.. Duncan believes
that it would receive a big majority
vote from the laboring men Of the
country.

traffic during the war period UNI
doubtedly fastened their extinction
Evidently alcoholism will shortly
be thing of the past in the United
States.
80. Another fact which appears
from Mr.. Gordon's survey, is that the
much talked about crime wave which
some people say has appeared since
the war and some deliberately claim
to be due to the fact that people can
not get liquor, no. only is not due to
any such cause, but really does not
exist, as il has been pictured. There
has been an increase of crime Of some
kinds due to the seeds or wrong doing
aowr in the. war. This new tendency
toward crime has been felt in wet"
Europe, and wet" England, just as
much, if not moro, than in the United
States. SO that we can hardly justi-
fly the statement that il came because
our country was dry. More than Off
setting this increase in crimes of
some kinds, however, has been the
very large decrease in crime as n
whole in the United States of Amer
lea, since prohibition went into effect.
"Mr. Gordon visited the jals of our
country and this is what he found:
an Birmingham, a Jail compare
lively new and costing 100000, was
now being used for a juvenile court
and detention house because its cells
were not needed since prohibition
went into effect. More than 900 pris-
oners used frequently to be housed
there at one time. Today there are
only 3l5. The Seattle Jail accommo-
dates 800 prisoners and used to be
full. When Mr.. Gordon visited it
there were 95. In Salt Lake City,
the State prison when visited showed
by its records that it housed in 1916,
297 prisoners. and in 1921, only 100.
''Going to Chicago, the place OF all
places where we hear that crime is
fragrant in America, the following
statistics taken from the records Of
the famous Bridwell prison, speak for
themselves:

HIGH B|DDER on
C0UNTY'S BONDS

Making the high bid of $40,778,
the State National bank was the
purchaser yesterday of the Liber-
ty bonds which have been held in
the county sinking fund since
their purchase during the war.
Tho Citizens National bank was
the second highest bidder. being
f22 below the State National.
Kiefer and Manned were the
third bidders, being far below the
first two.
The high bid was considerably
above the par value and accrued
interest of the bonds and was
only S35 below the latest market
quotation received by wire from
New York a few minutes before
the bid was submitted.
All accrued interest received
from the bonds will be placed in
the county interest fund which is
non-stationary fund and can be
used for any type of expenses
the principal will be placed in
the sinking fund for use in retir-
ing a number of the county re-
funding bonds issued in 1901 and
now callable although they do not
mature until 1881. The retire.
ment of the county bonds will
save the county approximately
$4,000 a year, the difference on
the interest rate on the county
reminding bonds and the Liberty
bonds.

BEN HUR ROOM

albuquerque boasts Ben
Hur room" all its own. Governor
Lew Wallace, the author, is known
to have written parts Of the ia

A little known story Of the
early days in Albuquerque came
to light yesterday in connection
with the sale of the c. c. Heath
property at 1929 West Central
avenue to Mrs. A. F. Keith, who
lived in the house 25 years ago.
The house, which is in the, old
part of Albuquerque across from
Huning castle, was occupied in
the early days by the governors
brother, whose initials. V. W.,
were recently discovered above a
mantle in the living room. AL
phonse Simpler, a shoemaker. who
was living in Albuquerque at that
time. remembers distinctly the
visits of Governor Wallace to the
city and his working on his book
at the home of his brother.
Santa Fe and an almost de-
serted adobe town of Bonanza
near Cerillos, also lay claim to
the distinction of having shelter

which Governor Wallace was in

this side of Santa Fe and was in

Albuquerque. There it is said that
a portion of the Ben Hur'' story
was written.
