VA. DRY FORCES MAKE
FINE SHOWING FOR 1922

The report OF X. A. Fulwiler, fed
eral director of Prohibition for Nir-
ginia, covering activities OF his Of
flee for the past year, shows that ,3S5
yiolators of the Prohibition law were
arrested by federal agents. There
were 79l arrests for the calendar year
1921.
The increased efficiency, according
to the director, is due largely to the
reorganization of his force and the
thorough campaign conducted by it.
In addition to these arrests by
agents of the federal unit, state and
local officials gathered in enough vic
tins to bring the total OF arrests up TO
between $500 and 5000 In addition,
there were between two and three
thousand illicit distilerics destroyed.
The report states that the depart
ment is constantly Strengthening the
cooperation and coordination of all ell
forccment agencies in the state and
that they arc all working for the most
complete harmony for the bettcrment
OF conditions.

OF course the liquor interests arc

crime The fine should be heavy
enough to make the business unproht-
able. Under the present law it is
more profitable to engage in the sale
of liquor than it was when a license
was required and the business was le-
galized. The penalty, in my opinion.
which would have the most wholesome
effect would be imprisonment for a
minimum term of not less than six
months for the first offense and in adj
dition a heavy fine so as to discourage
men from engaging in that business
for a profit
A law similar to the federal statute
relative to conspiracy (Sec. 81 Federal
Penal Code) and law giving the gov
ernor the power to remove any officer
who fails TO discharge his duty were
also recommended by Governor Ross.
Law Must be Respected
Governor Friend w. Richardson OF
California in his inaugural message on
January said
"The people have indicated that they
want the Nolstead act enforced, and
every peace officer in California should
do his full duty. The rigid enforce
ment of this law will result in moral
benefit to the whole state, and will
save the cities, counties and the state
many thousands of dollars. The
Constitution of the nation and of the
state must be respected, and all good
citizens, regardless of opinion, should
unite in this worthy object"

BULCARIANS CELEBRATE

Temperance Program

Sofa, Bulgaria, Jan. 10 delayed
The widespread temperance movement
in Bulgaria gave occasion to solemn
celebration today of the going into eff
feet of the Eighteenth Amendment to
the American Constitution on January
10, 1920. If Prohibitionists from
across the sea could have witnessed
the hearty manner in which the Bull
sarian temperance advocates greeted
the anniversary they would have APP
preciated it, =
''The national theater was packed
and the boxes were occupied with Dip
lomats and other dignitaries. King
Boris was represented by his chief sec
rotary. The program began with a
speech by M. Neicheff, the leader of
the temperance movement, who was
loudly cheered.
"'Great nations make great decis-
IONS he said. The great American
republic made the greatest decision
ever reached ON behalf of wretched
humanity. 1t did that which noisy So
cialists and communists, who always
boast that they are the peoples de-
tenders, have failed to do. The United
States was the first officially to brand
drunkenness as crime. That alone
would be a credit to any civilized
state. Not in vain are the eyes of the
world turned to the United States for
relief from woe.
"We are glad that little Bulgaria
is adopting this noble ideal We
thank the United States for opening
the way and showing that victory is
possible. Bulgaria already has tenn
perance organization i'll nearly every
town. The liquor dealers no longer
laugh, but fear
"Dr. Count, head OF the American
Methodist Mission and of the Ameri-
can colony here, was loudly cheered
when he said that the good words
spoken about his country gave much
pleasure to him and every other Amer
lean. M. Manolov, minister of educa-
ton. spoke in high terms of the ex-
ample set by the United States and
promised that the government would
gladly cooperate in the movement,
first by enlightening the public and
then by legislation.
Local option is encouraged and in
some places has already been adopted.
Temperance lectures are obligatory in
all the schools. President Harding's
statements as to the good results of
Prohibition were read at the meeting
and were greeted with cheers"

SCHOOL BOARD OFFICE
IN OLD BAR-ROOM

A Gary. Ind, Issue cor
respondent says:
The other day a man came
into the office of the board oil
education OF this city and looked
for the brass rail.
THE old Binzenhoff saloon
over whose bar once passed
more booze in single day than
over all now used in the whole
city of Gary III a day, has been
taken over by the board OF
education of the city. This may
not mean so much to others, but
it is to us significant of two very
interesting facts; first, the
licensed saloon is a thing OF the
past; second, the schools of the
city have increased so much that
not only have the rooms former
ly used for office work been
needed for recitation work, but
five new schools are now under
construction. Five new schools
are a better asset 10 the city
than the old Binzenhoff. Keep
the ball rolling"

VOLMER BREWERY TO GET
DOSE, NUISANCE INJUNCTION

A motor truck and four barrels and
twelve half-barrels of beer, the alco-
holic content of which exceeds the
legal limit, agents say, were placed
under seizure January IS in the yard
of the Volmer Brewing Company,
Philadelphia, by general Prohibition
agents OF the beer squad. An effort
will be made to apply the injunction
provision OF the Volstead law and
close the Volmer brewery for a year
as a common nuisance. Such meth
DDS have been found successful in
Pittsburgh and have resulted in the
closing of two brcweries there. 1t
was declared that the beer seized con-
tanned about three per cent alcohol.

After three years of unsteady
reign old Kink Prohibition is tot
tering to !, fall and there arc most
encouraging evidences of change

OF the dry laws are becoming
bstter and better"
Who said it? You guessed right
w. H. Stayton, big noise of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition Amend
ment, the champion optimist OF the
world.
Stayton has it all figured out. He
says election figures in eight states
point to a majority of approximately
100000 in favor OF the manufacture
and sale OF beer and light wines.
What a pity with such majority
the vets failed to elect Congress
pledged to notification.
What a pity with all this over
whelming majority the drys were al
lowed to make an actual gain OF three
votes in the United States Senate and
practically to hold their dry lead in
the House!
Stayton is talking to keep up the
courage of the ex-barflies who have
visions of wide-open saloons.

LIGHTLESS B0OzE.LADEN
BOATS MENACE SHIPPING
Sea Captain Reports Presence of
! Darkened Craft in Steamer
Lane
DEEDS NIGHT RESEMBLE
Imperiling Legitimate Shipping
Mere Piffle; Sale of Booze
Is Big Goal.

According to Captain ]. w. Nc
Kenzie OF the steamship Fort Victoria
who brought his ship into the New
York port January IS, darkened rum
boats lying at night beyond the three
mile limit have become a real menace
to legitimate shipping. The Associ-
ated Press says that Captain Mckcn-
zic reports having seen a group of
vessels believed to have been part OF
the fleet along the Jersey coast which
recently supplied scores of motor
boats with cargoes OF liquor. He is
quoted as saying:
There is great danger in the
presence of such a fleet for the
vessels carry no lights at night as
they probably are seeking new 10
cations or keeping under cover of
darkness to avoid the Prohibition
navy. Last night a binding
storm made navigation difficult
and the danger was increased by
the fact that the booze fleet
could not be seen although we
believed it TO be there.
This is one phase of the rum run
ming vessels menace that has not re-
ceived the attention it should. These
rum boats are anchored outside the
three limit for the avowed pur-
pose OF violating our Constitution and
our Prohibition and revenue laws. and
furthermore by violating navigation
laws in rot keeping proper lights
burning, they are dangerous menace
to legitimate shipping.
1t is time this government takes
more drastic action. If the dry navy
is not of sufficient strength to rid our
coast line OF these pirate boats Prcsi-
dent Harding ought to order our real
navy to the task. There is no ncccs-
sty for this nation to be put at the
mercy of gang of organized Grim
inals who are claiming protection of
foreign flags.

POSITIONS OF N. Y. AND
N. ]. GOVERNORS UNIQUE

The governors of New York and
New Jersey are striking exceptions to
the patriotic attitude taken by the gov
errors of the various states on dry law
enforcement in their inaugural adj
dresses as reported i'll the press. In
most instances the governors have
shown a proper respect for their oath
taken to uphold the Constitution and
laws of the state and nation and have
not even by inference encouraged dry
law violations by declaring that the
law is impossible OF enforcement.

ISN'T IT AWFUL
Saturday Evening Post)

1t was. rather thrilling, until it be-
came tiresome, to hear, upon the au-
thority of Congressman, former brew
ers turned publicists, college profess
sors and bitter-end specialists in per-
sonal liberty, that the adoption of the
Eighteenth Amendment, the Volstead
law and the income tax have trans
formed us from rather easy going
but a decidedly honest and lawabid-
ing people into:
A nation of hypocrites
A nation of lawbreakers
A nation of drug addicts
A nation of tax dodgers
A nation OF liars.
There are other counts in the in
dctment, but these will suffice to in
dictate the general tenor of the dis
esteem ir which we, as a people, are
held by many of our fellow citizens
who have got that way as result of
too much public speaking and too
little private thinking. Yet we have
listened to these affronts with kind
of pop-eyed fascination. We have ac-
tually enjoyed the creepy feelings and
the goosehesh raised by these vehe-
ment .recitals of our own iniquities.
Now that we have exhausted all the
thrills the situation affords, it be-
hooves us to examine the facts; for if
we go on murmuring, year in and

way we are growing wickeder and
wickeder, we shall presently, like one
of M. Coues disciples, become con-
WINGED of the reality of our self -sug-
gestion..
In our saner moments we are aware
that thirst for the juice of the for
hidden fruit developed in the Garden
of Eden and remains to this day I'M
slaked and undated. We know that
the art of lying was invented in the
spring-tifne of creation and that the
invention was never patented. Our
knowledge of human nature teaches
that tax lodging probably began
within a week of that prehistoric day
on which the first crude tax was in
vented and imposed.
Since the beginning of history these
temptations have bcset mankind; ard
yet, press as they will, urge as they
always have, most men are sober and
tolerably honest; and very few have
downed an age-old prejudice against
perjury. Our national level in these
respects is quite as high as that of any
other people, whether of. the present
or in those good old times that never
were.
Why not let the matter go at that,
and lay off fatuous self-accusation
that attempts to recast current history
into melodrama with our own coun-
try as the villain? u.s.

WHEELER TALKS TO G. O.P.
ON PROHIBITION IN N. Y.
Republican Club Told Drunken
ness Arrests in Gotham Cut
81 Per Cent.
WOMEN DRINKS, 80 PCT
Comparison Made Between Two
Dry Years and Average For
1908 Years.

WAYNE B. Wheeler, general counsel ion
the Anti-Saloon League, speaking on
Prohibition before the New York Re
publican Club January II, declared
that only one-third as many people are
being arrested in New York for drunk
enness under Prohibition as under the
license system. Only one-fifth as many
women are being arrested for drunk
enness, he said. His figures were based
on the number of arrests for the two
dry years compared with the averag,
for the wet period 1910 and 1918. lie
said:
That means 1900 persons have
been free in each average Prohibi-
ton year who would have been
locked up for intoxication in the
average wet year. Over $500 wo-
men who would have carried the
stigma of arrest for drunkenness if
the rate of the average wet year
prevailed, have stayed sober and
free. Beer was the agent which
produced most of this drunkenness
in the past. The streets are safer;
assaults have decreased % per cent
in the dry period.
Count in wood alcohol and alco-
hol poisoning deaths and you will
find the average of all these for the
last eight years was ga per year,
while for the dry period they aver
aged only 1874.
The whole death rate of New York
City has been cut over % per cent
since l9l5--before the influenza cpl
demic. The death rate for children
under five years fell over 81 per
cent in the same period.
These facts are from study of
New York. A complete survey of
: official statistics will be released by
the Scientific Temperance FEEDER
alton soon. The story is the same
