is PROHIBITION A FAILURE?

The following extract is from a
wordy article in the American Issue
which is published by the Prohibition
lists. 1t is a confession of the fail
ure of Prohibition.

They Marched For Booze and They
Had II a Plenty at the inaugural
Parade in Trenton
Some thousands of job holders, and
would-be job-holders, and their isis
ters and their cousins and their aunts
went to Trenton on January 10th to
march, ad make noise at the in
auguration of Governor Silzer.
The inauguration parade of the wet
hosts from Hudson county was, to
quote the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, actually n staggering spec
taele." The Anti-Saloon League had
investigators in Trenton January Is,
and t6, who bought liquors in 80
saloons and watched the bowling
hordes on the streets, in saloons and
in hotel Hobbies.
On the arrival, Haguefs Hudson
horde We're met ut the F. r. r. sta
ton by bootleggers with satchels of
booze which was openly sold on the
street and other highways, bootleg
gers We're hawking their wares with
out police interference.
In the marching ranks from Hud-
son county many bootleggers and bar
tenders We're recognized, and innumer-
able people carried bootleg whisky,
and openly drank from TASKS and glas
SEES that they carried. Scores of
staggering men dropped out of line,
and even women showed the influence
of liquor.

Gee See:-For the love o'Mike,
what's the idea in changing the name
of this column? For the last three
weeks I have been trustingly perus-
ing your words of wisdom CD only
to find in the last issue that had
been "gold-bricked." "SInilin' Thru"
has been good for over two years, so
why not keep it up? Kicker.
And you're not the only one, Kicker,
who has assailed US tooth and toe-nail
Accordingly, please take note that
"Smilin' Thru" again tops the column!

August 10th from all parts of the
country. Mortified and the other
conference centers have had a similar
experience and we are all looking
forward to 1923 being our biggest
year-ever-for high grade summer
resorts.
"When studying New England con-
ditions, it is most interesting to con-
esider the sources of weather in these
six states, Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut. They are al
most void of natural resources. They
have no coal or iron, no copper or
other metals. The fields of New Eng
land are not fertile-I remember my
grandfather, who was a farmer in
Gloucester, saying that all his posses
sions were rocks and bushes and a
little religion Great stone walls
on every farm are evidence that the
early settlers had rocks to contend
with. Statistics show the real as
sets of New England to be her in
dustry, thrift, honesty and desire
to be of service. 1t has been these
intangible-but all-important-forc
which have made New England.
These six states stand, today, a monu-
ment to what can be accomplished
without natural resources if people
are only actuated by the right mo-
tives.
Improved conditions in New Eng
land strongly suggest that the trou-
bic today with some of the duller Sec
tions of our country is that they lack
industry, thrift, honesty or desire
to be of service. Activity in the
Northeast is largely responsible for
the high figure registered this week
by the Babsonchart. 1t now stands
at 31s above normal. When you con-
slider that this figure combines all
sections of the country and all lines
of industry-and knowing as you do
how dull are certain sections and GER
tain lines-the part played by New
England in bringing up this figure
is most evident"
