DO YOU KNOW WHAT
| BO0TLEGGERS SELL?
MR.. HAYNES REVELATIONS
THROW LIGHT ON SITUATION

1 u
In his series of articles now ap-
pearing in The Daily News, Roy A.
Haynes, United States prohibition
commissioner, has disclosed many
amazing facts. The most sensation
al relate to the extreme criminal
lengths to which bootleggers 60 in
their efforts to get possession Of and
distribute illicit liquor. Bribery is
generally employed. Millions Of
dollars piled upon other millions"
Mr.. Haynes asserts, "are strewn
carelessly across the pathway Of
those engaged in prohibition enforce
ment." .....:.
Some of the prohibition agents
prove unable to resist the tempta-
lions of sudden wealth with which
the bootleggers seek to lure them
from the path of duty, but the rec
ords of the prohibition Office show
many cases in which loyal govern
ment employees have rejected the
most alluring financial offers - as
much as 100000 a week in one in
stance-and have caused the arrest
of the men who sought to debauch
them. @... 49,.
The "Real Old Stuff Claims a
Tragic Joke.
Of vital Importance to buyers of
bootleg liquor are Mr.. Haynes reve-
lations concerning the quality of the
mixtures sold throughout the United
States as "'the real old stuff" It is
his assertion that not more than one
per cent Of all the liquor now in the
hands of the bootleggers is genuine.
Very much of the mysterious fluids
represented by bootleggers as having
been struggled into the country was
produced in the United States and
bottled under counterfeit labels print
ed resemble those of well-known for
eign brands. "a
Basing his assertion on the results
of scientific analyses by government
chemists, Mr.. Haynes divides all the
Illicit liquor sold in the United States
into six classes the first class rep
resenting all the genuine liquor, be-
ing less than per cent of the total.
The other five classes, representing
80 per cent, include the newly distill-
ed moonshine, most Of it made in
filthy containers, the synthetic liq-,
uors, the various connections that
contain fraction of pure liquor and
large quantity of harmful dilutants
and the stuff made from denatured
alcohol or wood alcohol, Virtually all
contain impurities and poisons that
threaten not only the health, but the
lives of those who drink it.
The disclosures are at once de-
pressing and alarming. It is easy
to say that people should cease to
drink the hideous connections. But
they do consume the stuff. Even
that, however, is no valid argument
for the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, which prohibits the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor. Statistics of deaths from the
use of intoxicants in pre-Volsteadian
days speak for themselves.

France and Her Morals
France thinks that she will have
to fight again in fifteen or twenty
years-and she is concerned about
her present birth rate. Frances
birth rate is steadily declining; Ger
many's is holding it's own. France
plans reduction in taxes as a bait
to coax the French bourgeoisie to do
what she knows her upper class
parents will never consent to do. But
Frances anxiety and her offers of
reward to those who are righteously
fecund will be of little avail. She is
not looking in the right direction for
cure. Until France changes her
moral code she will remain low in
man-power even as she is now low in
virtue. Clean, ethical thought and a
fundamental change in everyday
morals will help Frances birth rate
far more than loud and piercing
screeches about that birth rate. The
basic strength of any nation depends
upon clean education-public school
education such as we have here in
America-and high purpose in life.
The French fundamental idea is SEN
suousness when it is not plain SEN
suality. Everything in France is
based upon that phase of character.
And let it be stated with frankness,
you can not build a strong nation
upon the creative reaction of roues
and courtesans, or those who look
favorably upon life where there is a
too general freedom in respect to the
moral code. The late war brought
home to US many unpleasant facts
about France. Is it not joyous to
live in land where every mother is
an expression of wholesome mother
hood? It is something to the world
and to the birth rate in America that
the strain of Paritanism still works
in our nation as a strong leaven of
grace. :, ,k ME

Cereals rdiculousy cheap that Russian farmers
cannot make enough to purchase necessities which in turn
hrotes existing Russian industries We hear of no starv

especially among children we believe not 100000 in
Russia would sarve if all foreign relief stopped today
Conditions are UNNECESSARILY better than anticipated
last fall No requests have been received for increased
food program
What Russia now needs Is money or credit against
which it purchase necessities to rehabtate agrcu

ulons on permanent basis and destroy ravages Of pests
in the agricultural areas.
Economic reconstruction is outside the province of the
American relief administration which is purely an emerg-

In other words Russia has ceased to be but an object Of

When Ma poIeon Came to Die

New revelations about the last days of Napoleon are
published in book by his second valet Louis Etienne St
Denis.
Historians have been perpetuating the old story that
Maps last words were: France army
head of the army Josephine"
That sounds little theatrical to be true like
what would be said by stage Napoleon than the real Ma
poleon.
St. Denis in his personal racolectons wrote nothing
about these alleged last words According to his story
Napoleon in his last moments chiefly concerned with
getting wine
The valet recorded it this way He would ask for lit
tie wine from time time which they fastened to give
him. He said after drinking few drops All, how good
wine is, How good wine is"
That sounds more human. And Napoleon was chdishy
human.
AS death drew near while scurred and fro in the
rambling corridors: He would cough so loud that he
could be heard all the house. The emperor died with
out the slightest perceptbe CONFUSION and without the
least stiffening He went out as the light OF lamp goes
out"
Is that light now burning elsewhere?
Napoleon vain to the point of egomana, was constantly
on the watch for anything that he could interpret a
slight, ST. Denis wrote.
HE absolutely like child"
He knew that he caught cold easily yet he never hurried
to shelter when caught in the rain while out walking
In reading, if he liked book he replaced it carefully
the library shelves. If the book bored him. he showed
lively dispeasure often throwing the volume into the fire
In his last days, he his clothes until they were
shabby, then had the tailor turn" them.
He never used gloves except occasionally horseback
The emperor never any ewery except watch"
the Wallets record Probably this due to fear that
ewery might detract from attention that he wanted ex
clusiveiy for his person.
Napoleon was an abnormal creature His career re-
Elected the rise and fall of his diseased pituitary gland He
was genius at leadership and organization But person
ally he type that few Of would invite to call again
Judging from his Wallets book So much for one of the Is
most powerful personalities that ever lived.

yet constantly coming on~-Pope

CRISIS THE NORTHWEST FARMER is FACING

this country is not going TO have an abundance
of food unless we city folks wake up.
Maybe this is theory, too: In the year ending
November 80, 1922, GIG farms in Washington,
Idaho, Montana and Oregon were sold under
mortgage foreclosure by the 18th district federal
farm loan bank. These farms were sold under
the hammer to pay overdue loans, amounting
to some four million dollars, Under the hammer
these farms brought more than twice the amount
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1923-03-19

of the mortgages Worked by capable farmers
these farms were worth to the consuming public
of these four states at least $l0000,000 a year;
but the farmers couldn't even pay interest on
federal mortgages on 80 per cent of their APP
praised valuation, a quarter of their true value
That's no theory, is il?
If Uncle Sam closed out 626 farms in these
four states in one year under the hammer, how
many farms do you suppose were closed out, the
