IF BOATS LANDED CARGOES
WHY THE DRY CHRISTMAS?

New York newspapers OF December
81 reported that about Is vessels
heavily laden with contraband liquor
which had been lowering outside the
three-mile limit along the coast from
Boston to Philadelphia, stood an ex-
cellent chance of lanoing their cargoes
in New York because the Narrows
were unguarded.
These stories were TO the effect that
the engines in the rum chaser Hansen,
the only boat of the dry navy equipped
to apprehend rum runners at sea, had
broken down and was tied up in port
awaiting repairs. The report of the
Hansen's being put out of commission
greatly heartened New York bootleg
gers.
Evidently their dreams of flood OF
booze engulhng the metropolis did not
come true for all reports agree that
New York City experienced the driest
New Years Eve celebration in her
history.

new YEARS NIGHT
GRADUALLY BETTER
VIEW OF FAREWELL
Drinking Bad Enough But Nothing
Like Old Days in Chicago

How much will Chicago drink on
New Years Eve? That was popular
question during the last week of the
old year. Several days before the last
night of the old year both Chicago
morning papers printed a story in
which it was made to appear that the
Federal Prohibition director for
Illinois would take no action against
violators. This story furnished 10 the
Tribune and the Herald Examiner by
the City Press was promptly and
emphatically denied by acting director
Andrews. The press had also stated
that the chief of police would concern
himself with other misdemeanors and
pay no special attention to the Prohi-
bition laws.
When it was over tne question be-
came, How much did Chicago drink
on New Years Ever"
The answers vary. The Chicago
Tribune news story gave the impress
sion that much lquu, was consumed.
The Herald and Examiner quoted
hotel men to the effect that there had
been very little drinking.
Arthur Burrage Farwell, active for
law and order in Chicago for many
years was asked by the Issue to give
his opinion. Mr.. Farwell declared
that there has been a gradual improve
ment in the matter of drunkenness on
New Years Eve ever since 1907.
This year there was much drinking,
but nothing like in the old days. Little

STATES ATT'YA.Y SMITH
OF OPINION THAT DRY
FORCE SHOULD Be KEPT
Of Opinion That Dry Force Should
be Kept; Fines Pay the Cost

Constable Conrad A. Burne and the
Lake county dry force, operating out
of the states attorneys Office, are
necessary 10 the state and their work
pays their expenses, according to sta
tistics advanced by states Attorney
A. V. Smith this morning in answer to
the report emanating from the board
of supervisors that Bruno and his dry
squad were to be cut from the county
lists to save expenses.
The states attorneys office is kept
and maintained on the fines that come
from liquor cases, Col. Smith ex-
planned. This statement was easily
proven later when he showed that
more than $4,000 had been collected
in fines by that Office, with the greater
part of this sum coming from booze
fines. And this amount has gone
to pay the cost of raiding, the salary
of Col. Smith and his assistant S. H.
Block and a number OF other local
attorneys who have been called in
from time to time to help the state in
prosecuting cases when Attorneys
Smith and Block were busy in court.
1t also has gone to pay $50
month for the Office. that the county
asks that he maintain, and his stem

Regardless of these expenses there
is still surplus of more than $4,000
OH the asset side of the ledger. a
thing that has not happened i'll the
memory OF the most venerable and
most imaginative resident of the
county.
When Attorney Leslie P Hanna &C.
cupied the office of states attorney
number OF years ago he employed the
same number that Col Smith is EN-
ploying according to reports. Now
the county is double in population and
the personnel of the Office has not been
increased.
Records show that in the four
years previous TO the Smith regime
that only 1000 was collected. This
does not even cover the salary of the
states attorney for the four year
term, which is $4,000.
The fact that the supervisors ap-
proved the Bruno bill today gives
hope that the have found in looking
up the office" that he is essential to
its maintenance.-Waukegan Sun.
This report from Lake county
should be brought to the attention OF
supervisors in other counties. Ii

POISON RUM SELLERS

Coroner Oscar Wolff of Cook coun-
ty, says the Chicago Tribune of
December so, forecast grand jury
action against two saloonkeepers who
are alleged to have manufactured and
sold the moonshine whisky that
caused the death Of Louis Sackiwicz.
IT Chicago sets precedent of this
kind and actually brings the manu-
facturcr and seller of poison booze to
justice even to exaeting the death
penalty, that city will have gone a
long way toward sowing the dry law.

POLICE AND BOOT
LOGGER

1t has remained for a broken
hearted father. out OF the
anguish OF his soul, TO call public
attention TO the activities of
bootleggers in Danville. Joseph
Judy. police magistrate, may
feel that his cup of voc is too
bitter but he should gain some
surecase by the realization that
his determination to wage war
on the illicit liquor statesmen has
been widely commended and
given the hearty approval of ali
right thinking citizens.
Bootleggers have carried on
their unlawful trade and blind
tigers have operated in defiance
OF the law and, as far as the
public could see there seemed
to be no definite or positive
steps by the police department
TO stamp out the evil.
Here we hav. one man. an
outraged father and righteously
angered magistrate, able within
a few minutes to have warrants
issued for two alleged violators
of the liquor law. What would
be the result il the police would
show the same zeal, or even a
fraction OF the zeal shown by
Mr.. Judy, is the question that
citizens are asking on all sides.
OF course the police records
reveal the usual number of
DRINKS picked up daily and fined
or jailed or. if too annoying,
chased out of the city for a
period of so or 60 days, but
what we need in Danvillc is a
direct assault on the source of
the evil. Ii does little good.
in combating this National
menace, to punish the poor
wretch who has fallen victim to
the stuff that bcfuddles while
we permit the criminal VINO
sells it to operate unmolested.
1t seems more than passing
strange that men supposed to
be trained in the detection OF
crime cannot locate at least one
bootlegger or blind tiger
operator.
The tragic in~dent in Magis-
tratc Judy's life strikes down
into the life OF all OF us. Per-
haps it will so arouse public
sentiment that action will be
forced upon those in authority.
1t is high time that we look this
thing squarely in the face and
demand an accounting from
those empowered to enforce our
municipal laws.-Danville Com
mercial-News.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1923-01-12

the police in arresting bootleggers has
proved spur and incentive to Federal
officials, and that the combined forces
OF Federal and municipal authorities
can practically whip out the boot
logger and cut law violations to an
irreducible minimum. Nor will that
minimum include the present boot
logging joints. Christian Science
Monitor.
The situation in San Francisco, as
described by the police chief shows the
importance of local cooperation in
Prohibition enforcement. Prohibition
can be enforced anywhere in the
United States if the local officials and
the local police do their duty.

PROSPERITY REIGNS
SAYS SEC'Y HOOVER

Secretary Of Commerce Herber
Hoover in a Washington interview car
ried in the New York Tribune of Janu

in 1923. He is quoted as saying:
In our country unemployment has
ceased to be a problem and we are
indeed upon an economic level of
comparatively great comfort in
every direction except for the lag
of recovery in some branches of
agriculture. Even in this field
there has been distinct improve
ment in prices in the last twelve
months and its troubles are mostly
due to over.production in some lines.
Our manufacturing industries are
engaged we'll up to the available
labor. Industrial production has
enormously increased over last year.
Wages and savings are at high
level. Our transportation and
housing show great gains in con-
strnction although we are yet be-
hind in these equipments.
Both our exports and our imports
are again increasing after the great
depression, and are today far above
pre-war levels.
Outside of Europe the whole
world has shaken itself free from
the great after-war slump,
This indeed will be sad news for the
pessimistic booze prophets who have
predicted that this country is headed
for bankruptcy because it has had the
good sense to outlaw the liquor trafic
which has always been drain upon the
