The Association declares that two

Under the proposed law the State

impose only a fine of $50.

THE INSIDE STORY OF DOPE
IN THIS COUNTRY
By Sidney Howard
By Sidney Howard

Because of the parallels between the
drug traffic and the liquor traffic, Gle
ments in each throw light upon the
other. Particularly is this true OF the
difficulty OF enforcing the laws for re-
striction of their sale-but VIC have
yet to hear demands for the modi6ca-
ton or repeal OF the drug laws on
that account.
Some OF the drug smuggling ante
dates prohibition by many years.
There is the story of Roscoe Rand,
train-man on the Boston and Maine
K. X. who Struggled dope from Can
ada into this country for thirteen years
and boosted that he had made fifty
thousand dollars at the game. One
smugglcr Of northern New York actu-
ally trains dogs to cross the border
and return, each with his allotment OF
ounces swung from his collar"
Payment for police protection is an
old story i'll the dope traffic. you can

Children under sixteen are not allowed

what prohibition means. They are 60

THE PRICE OF personal
LIBERTY"
{ Editorial)

In confinement for a term OF not
less than six years, in Pennsylvania
penitentiary, d Philadelphia man OF
good family and high business stand
ing is today rejecting upon what has
come to him from using what some
people regard as the inalienable right
and personal liberty to get drunk.
Having found a way TO violate the
prohibition law OF the land, he did it
SO effectively that on his way home iii
an automobile he killed three people,
and is now under sentence OF murder
in the second degree. :.
In Pttsheld, Mass, a man whose
friends SAID that he had three or four
drinks OF moonsine" is in Jail charged
with second degree murder, two per-
sons having paid with their lives the
penalty OF his offense.
With these facts fresh in conscious
ness, it seems incredible that there
should be found in the nation, as there
are, men and women of good repute
and OF high social standing, willing to
defend alike the men who drank the
liquor which made them murderers,
and the men who sold it, on the
ground that both were exercising an
inaienable right and liberty.
The law, is of course, insufficient in
that it does not go to the real source
of these crimes in its effort to rout out
and punish the criminal. The liquor
seller was the true criminal, and those
who are conniving at and excusing the
illicit traffic in alcohol were in the
highest moral sense accessories before
the fact. II it were possible, as it
should be, to discover the bootlegger
from whom these unhappy men OBJ
tanned the poison that dulled their
minds and made them a public men
ace at large, those sellers should be
prosecuted quite as sternly as the
actual criminals now under duress. Be-
yond doubt it will yet be recognized
by lawmakers that in cases OF this sort
justice has not been complete, nor tho
end of justice,

AFTER THE RINK REVO
LUTON
By Ida M. Tarbell

Miss Tarbell's we'll known faculty o
getting at the heart OF things, seeing
what there is to be seen and telling i
clearly and forcibly are here put II
mapping public sentiment on tho 1871
Amendment.
The country is more than 80,
000,000 people in farmers families,
probably nine-tenths OF them
against the repeal of the Nolstcad
Act; it is nearly 100000 women
voters almost a unit against re-
peal. Count up all the bootleg
gers, the hip-pockct carriers, the
lawlcss country-elub drinkers, the
personal liberty agitators and their
sympathizers, and can you muster
per cent OF the population of the
United States?
The arguments and behavior of thos,
who resent the Nolstcad Act appear
to her to be only childish.
They cry out that the Nolstead
Act was sprung on them. Where
have they been the last twenty
five years? So busy with their
grown-up plays that they have not
seen locality after locality adopting
local option. State after state going
dry, bone dry; prohibition steadily
and openingly creeping over
the continent! Sprung on them?
Nothing has been more open and
constant than the growth of the
prohibition sentiment in this coun-
try in the last three or four dec
AIDES. Even the beer brewers saw
the Nolstead Act i'll the making,
and those that were wise prepared
for the conversion OF their plants.
Thost who cry "fanaticism," Miss
Tarbell answers:
Fanaticism may have had its
part, but it was not fanaticism that
put through the Nolstead Act. 1t
was hundreds upon hundreds of
thousands OF sober-minded,
simple minded, God-fearing men
and women who for years and
years had struggled so to control
the liquor traffic that their sons
and daughters would not be ruined
by the saloon. The moderate drink
er gave them no help, and there
came point-as there always will
come in great human struggles to
control a devastating wrong
when simple people concluded that
ripping the thing up, root and
branch, was the only thing to do.
Miss Tarbell thinks the country is
not misled by all the Exhibits" about
the operations of big bootlcggers and
the connivancc of the police. "Thc
country is something beside the city
dinner table of the wcll-to-do. 1t is

Entire satisfaction with prohibition
in America and hopefulness that EIol-
land is in the way to get at least par
tial prohibition, are expressed by n.
a. de Nries, member of the Daily Gov
crnment of the province of Gronique
and member of the executive of the
Dutch Society for the Abolition OF
Alcoholic Drinks, and P van der Meu-
len. president of the executive of the
Dutch Society for the Abolition Of
Alcoholic Drinks.
These men are in America making a
very thorough study OF conditions not
only for their organizations, but also
for report to the Holland government.
Their journey takes them across the
American continent.
Not only is Mr., de Nres state Of
fetal, but his wife is a member of the
lower house of Congress. The Hol-
landers believe that their country has
the distinction OF having more women
in Congress than any other nation.
In Holland, it is explained there is
low license for the sale of spirits but
no license is needed for the sale OF
beer and wine. The only other regu-

aid, Alfred Salter, a laborite who
seconded Edwin Scrymgeour's
prohibition bill in the House of
Commons, and charged that
whisky making peers in Parlia-
ment are abettting rum running
IN America, declares that the
British government should check
their operations by requiring the
issuance of exporters licenses.
1T is perfectly clear he said.
that the whisky makers in the
House of Lords and the House
OF Commons who preach law
and order at Westminster are
encouraging violations of the
American law. They could CO.
operate with the American gov
eminent by revealing statistics
about the liquor they send to the
West Indies and its destination,
but they are concerned only with
their own profits.
The British government
should compel them to disclose
these figures by insisting upon
exporters licenses, and then the
information could be forwarded
to the Washington authorities.
A note from the American gcv-
eminent requesting such a step
would force Whitehall to take
the needed action"
