1t has done a great service and is do
ing a great service for not only the

observance of the Eighteenth Article

the lawless conditions in Cleveland
and in its editorial columns it has de-
manded and suggested remedy and
it is getting results apparent in re-
newed activity on the part of the law
enforcement officers.
1t is conceded by those who know
that the cause of the difficulty in Pro-
hibition enforcement in Cleveland is
the same cause that figures prom
inently in other cities where lax en-
forcement prevails, viz, politics. APP
pointments of enforcement agents are
said to have been made in many in
stances for political reasons rather
than made on efficiency basis. Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes is in
clined to place the primary response
bility for enforcement upon the police
and local authorities. The fact is,
there must be cooperation to secure
the best results and undoubtedly the

will result in more efficient service

LONDON LIQUOR JOURNAL
LAYS OUT RESTAURATEURS

Harper's Wine and Spirit Gazette,
a London, England, trade journal in
a leading article in the issue of May
20 warns the wine interests that they
are inviting inevitable disaster and
are aiding the cause of Prohibition by
their greed. The following excerpt
from the article summarizes the au-
thor's arguments.
Mr.. Pussyfoot Johnson, DR..
Saleeby, the president of the
Wesleyan Conference, and all the
forces of the United Kingdom
Alliance and the Anti-Saloon
League, may have chastiscd
wines cause with whips but the
greedy or stupid restaurateur
has chastised it with scorpions.
The charge is made that not only
are the wines now offered the drink
ers OF inferior quality but the price
has been boosted beyond the reach
of the ordinary drinker.

FOLLY Of THE beer PROPAGANDA
II. H. Culver, Collins, N. Y.

Booze advocates, who apparently do
their thinking by the vacuum system,
propose to advance the cause of tenn
perance by promoting the use of beer
and light wines. Sensible people
know that it is alcohol that causes
most OF the mischief. Beer contains
smaller percentage of alcohol than
spirits; but it is consumed in larger
quantities, with the result that the
beer drinker gets as much absolute
alcohol as the consumer of distilled
liquor, if not more. In 1850 distilled
liquors furnished almost all the
alcohol consumed. By 1912 the situa-
ton had entirely changed. The
amount of absolute alcohol from all
sources had increased 81 per cent;
the share contributed by spirits had
decreased s. per cent, while the part
supplied by beer and other malt
liquors had increased more than 1000
pei SCIt, la iliCiI tiiaH ouiiiSlNHt ~
offset the decrease due to the lower
consumption of the stronger alcohol
les. THE BEER ROUTE HAD
TAKEN THE PLACE OF THE
WHISKY THOROFARE as the
highway supplying humanity with
alcohol, and AN INCREASE OF 81
PER CENT IN THE CONSUME
TON OF ABSOLUTE ALCOHOL
WAS THE RESULT" (Social Wei
fare and The Liquor Problem, by H.
H. Warner).
A speaker at the tenth Congress on
Alcoholism, describing the drunken
savagery of bands of drunkards in
Belgium, says: "These brutes do not
drink hard liquor, but alcohol in the
form Of from 10 to 20 glasses Of beer.
This drink is the chief stimulus to
crime in the country in Belgium, as
distilled drinks in the cities. There
has been in the country considerable
diminution in the consumption of dis
titled liquors, but that of beer con-
stantly rises, and with it criminality
rises" The speaker then described

The Anti-Saloon League made a

Prohibition who vote the Democratic
ticket to line up for Mr.. Pattison.
The response was fine. The indiea-

counties as did Mr. Pinchot and will

CONSTITUTIONALITY
OF ACT QUESTIONED

The Sherwood Prohibition enforce
ment act was attacked as unconstitu-
tional and void in the sixth district
court, Providence, R. l., last week
by Daniel T. Hagan, attorney de-
Tending a prisoner charged with il
legal possession of alcoholic liquor
Mr.. Hagan based his attack upon the
Senate amendment to the bill which
was lost on the way to the House and
did not reappear until after the Gov
ernor had signed the measure. Judge
Howard B. Gorham granted Mr.
Hagan one week to prepare motion
that the district court certify the
case to the Supreme Court.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer asserts
that Prohibition law enforcement in
that city is tagging. 1t does not crit
icise the federal agents alone but in
cludes state and local agents as well.
1t is not complaining because enforce
ment is not one hundred per cent eff
fectivc, for the Plain Dealer rccog-
nizes the fact that the operation of any
law is not perfect, but that paper does
not believe the law is as we'll enforced
as it should be and says SO. 1t also
holds the people themselves account
able, declaring that lax enforcement
is partly due to public indifference.
1t also Classics the bootlegger's pa
iron as criminal, onsa par with the
man who sells the stuff. 1t says:
an its moral aspect there is no
difference between the offense of the
bootlegger who peddles his illicit
goods and the offense of his patron
why buys it. They are both engaged
in a contemplate business which
tends inevitably to destroy popular
respect for law. They are setting an
example of lawlessness against which
organized society must protest if it
wishes finally to survive.
at behooves everyone with respect
for law in his heart to set himself
sternly against this all too prevalent
idea that the Eighteenth Amendment
is sort of optional enactment-to be
obeyed if convenient and flouted by
any who chooses to ignore it. The
federal enforcement chief and all his
army of deputies, the state enforce
ment chief and his various represen-
tatives through Ohio, the police and
courts in each community, should be
made to feel that the Prohibition man

drinkers, and said: This is the effect
of beer, which some naive persons
would have US use instead of spirits"
(The Anti-Alcolol movement in
Europe, by Ernest Gordon).
General Won Haeseler of the Ger
man army considered beer next to
brandy as an alcoholic poison. Won
Moltke declared, Beer is a far more
dangerous enemy to Germany than
all the armies of France" The Ger
man government circulated among its
soldiers a pamphlet entitled alcohol
and the Power of Resistance" which
said, almost all the excuses and dis
turbances in the army are traced to
drink.-It is mostly beer that causes
the mischief" -.
But we need not cross the ocean for
evidence. Our own police records
furnish it. Tell the policeman on the
beat that Beer does not make men
drunk if you want to be examined
as to your sanity. The slayer of Pa
trolman Claus in Buffalo testified at
his trial: 81 had lot of beer: it does
not take much beer to make me
drunk"
The New York officers OF the Home
Life Insurance Company say Of
beer: "Of all Intoxicating drinks it is
the most anamalizing. 1t dulls the in
tellectual and moral, and feeds the
sensual and beastly nature. Beyond
all other drinks, it qualities for delib-
crate and unprovoked crime. In this
respect it is much worse than distilled
liquors.--Long observation has as
sured us that large proportion Of
murders deliberately planned and exc
.cuted, without malice or passion,
with no other motive than the acquisi-
ton of property or money often 81
trifing value, are perpetrated by beer
drinkers"
