Not To Be Confused

People representing what Is known
as the Christian Army have been
soliciting funds IN Cosper, according
to a report yesterday. II Is under
stood that some people think they are
contributing to the Salvation Army
when they give the members OF the

Us PER CENT ALCOHOL
All That is Necessary is to Repeal
All American Prohibition
Laws
Us PER CENT ALCOHOL

At the recent session of the Georgia
legislature bill to repeal the prohi-
bition law was defeated by an over
whelming vote in the House. In
order that the other branch of the
law-making body might have its dis
approval put in emphatic form, A of
the 81 Senators signed resolution OF
disapproval of the bill.
When Georgia first adopted prohi-
bition in 1909 it was thought best to
permit the manufacture and sale of So
called light beer Hence the alcoholic
content was fixed at two per cent.
After several years the legislature,
responding to the demand of public
opinion, reduced this to one-half of
one per cent. This was done because
the people came to a realization of the
fact that prohibition policy that per-
mitted the manufacture and distribu-
ton of intoxicants containing two per
cent alcohol was almost as hopeless a
cure for drunkenness as was the old
license system under which Georgia
operated for almost hundred years.

has been so impressed by reports of
the transportation of Jersey and Penn

Having been relegated to place of
minor importance as compared with
the traffic in whisky, the making and
selling of beer OF higher alcoholic
content than permitted by the dry law
has been something at which the
authorities have been tempted to
wink. The decision of the officials
in North Hudson towns and in New
York to start drive against trans
portation of the eontraband beverage
gives rise to the promise that the
traffic may be stamped out in this
district before it develops into the
serious combination of graft and crime
and becomes as difficult to control as
the whisky traffic"

tillery to be transported to Pittsburgh
Afer a personal investigation John 7

The amount of whisky placed under

THREE MARYLAND COUNTY
JAILS WHOLLY TENANTLESS

According to the wet Baltimore Sun
there arc three counties in the state
of Maryland, all in the southern part
OF the state, with empty county jails.
The counties are Calvert, St. Marys
and Charles, while in a fourth, Prince
Georges, there is only one prisoner.
The Sun gives DR.. Arthur p. Herring.
state commissioner of mental hygiene,
as authority for the statement. It
furthermore quotes DR.. Herring as
saying that as the state is growing
more yirtuous it is growing more
prosperous.
Almshouscs in all of tho counties
arc virtually depopulatcd according to
DR.. Herring, who said that fewer than
ten inmates arc to be found in most
of them and that these could be taken
care of in a single state institution at
a great saving to the counties.
No, the Baltimore Sun does not

population of county jails and aims

IMPORTANT court DECISIONS
Edited by Boyd p Doty
Attorney World League Against Alcoholism

tors the truth is otherwise, every pa
tient presenting to the physician a
different problem for solution, this
provision of the statute is invalid"
The decision continues:
1T is an extravagant and unreason-
able attempt to subordinate the judg-
ment of the attending physician to
that Of Congress, in respect to matters
with which the former alone is COM
petent to deal, and infringes upon the
duty of the physician to prescribe in
accord with his honest Judgment, and
upon the right of the patient to re-
ceive the benefit of the judgment Of
the physician of his choice"
MUST HAVE RIGHT TO FINISH
1t may be that, even as legislation
for reasons of health can compel vac
cination, it might in like behalf ex-
tend prohibition of alcohol for thera-
peutic uses. But so long as legisla-
ton tolerates or sanctions such uses
of alcohol, the duty and judgment of
the physician, the necessity and well
fare of the patient and the right of
both can not be subjected to arbitrary
and unreasonable legislative interior
ence like the statutory provision afore-
said.
THE physician with unrestricted
power to begin a course of treatment
must have like power to finish. Other
wise may be danger greater than that
involved by denial of any power for
the latter might be supplied by substi-
tutes. These statutory provisions to
restrain the judgments in the exercise
Of power to prescribe alcohol, deprive
physician and patients alike of liberty
without due process of law and are I'M
constitutional"
CAN CURB OTHERWISE
"The court held that the bureau of
internal revenue has the power
through its regulations to cope with
abuse of the use of alcohol without
attempting to dictate to the physician
in the treatment of cases where alco-
hol is prescribed"

United States Senator Couzens of
Michigan, who was appointed to that
high office and not elected by the peo-
pie OF his state, and the man who
wants Congress to 1egalize FIVE per
cent beer regardless of his oath to
support the Constitution, is in Europe.
In Paris he was interviewed but the
cables do not say he said anything
about the death of President Harding,
about President Coolidge, about the
impending coal strike, about this coun-
try's views on foreign affairs or about
the crops and transportation. But
Senator Couzens is quoted on the sub
iect closest to his heart-he detailed
his anti-prohibition views. a.

RED LIGHT" MAYOR, RENO, SPEAKS
Paid Reformers" are Accused of
All the Ills That Human Flesh is
Heir to

Mayor +. f. Roberts OF Reno, New,
made an address before the Lions
Club of Sparks, New, August p in
which he criticised paid reformers.
Mr.. Roberts was elected mayor of
Reno on an issue of the "red light"
or the "home" in which the red light"
won. He said that the reason for the
present disrespect for law is due to
the fact that there is not enough COM
mon sense exercised in making laws.
He is quoted in the Nevada State
Journal as follows:
"A minority of paid reformers in
the United States are trying to legis-
late morals into the people. am not
in favor of such an attempt. You
can't make a man good by law. Sup
pose your club was to pass law for
bidding all members smoking until
they became eighty years old. Some
might obey but some would sneak in
and others would follow until all
showed no respect for your club"
A Reno American Issue correspond
ent in commenting upon these wet
platitudes expressed by the mayor,
says:
"A few of the paid reformers' of
Reno are Bishop George c. Hunting,
Rev. Tanner Brown, Rev. Ralph Mil
Ter, Rev. Norman w. Pendleton, Rev.
Brewster Adams, and other leaders of
Christian denominations and Chris
tan work, including Z. +. Jones,
Anti-Saloon League superintendent,
the faculty of the university and
teachers in the. public schools. No
doubt the mayor was taking a slap at
the, Eighteenth Amendment and Vol
stead act and red light ordinance"

Mr. Bryan has been engaged in the

without compensation but insisted
upon paying his own expenses, which
he did This is worthwhile fact for
the public to know, since wet papers
throughout the country have tried
over and over to give the impression
that he was receiving large compensa-
ton for his work for prohibition.
The only compensation he ever re-
ceived, was after ratification and the
enactment of the code, when the po-
litical aspects Of the question had
largely passed and the issue was law

Special efforts now are being made

Big LIQUOR CONSPIRACY sENsED
Too Many Claimants Appearing for
$2,500,000 Worth of Booze

Government officials according to
statements made i'll the Philadelphia
federal building August p, says the
Philadelphia North American, expect
TO uncover another gigantic conspiracy
involving whisky valued at $2,500,000,
as the result of the attempted raid
made OH the bonded warehouse at Ed
dington, Pa, early on the morning of
August u by SO masked bandits who
were routed by state troopers.
The conspiracy, it is understood, is
due to the fact that there are too many
persons making claim to ownership
of the intoxicating liquor that is stored
in the warehouse. A few months ago
the owner of the warehouse filed pc
tition in United States court to re-
strain the government from removing
whisky stored in the warehouse, lay
ing claim to it through the fact that it
was stored by persons who had never
paid any storage for the liquor. The
petition is denied by the government,
it is said. as.s
1t is the belief of the government
officials that the liquor was owned by
Andrew Mellon, now Secretary of the
United States Treasury, and was
shipped to France but subsequently
returned for storage in this country.
In 1910 Mr. Mellon is said to have
sold the liquor to New York syndi-
cate and quantity of it was purchased

AMOUNT OF LIQUOR FOR SICK
CAN NOT BE FIXED BY LAW

On July g, Federal Judge Geo. M.
Bourquin released DIR. J. B. Frcund,
who was charged with issuing more
than 100 prescriptions within 90day
period and who prescribed more than
one pint of alcohol 10 one patient in
ten days.
The decision III substance held that
1.-THE government can not substitute
its Judgment for that of the physician,
ruling similarly to Federal Judge
Knox, of New York, who, on May 9
last granted an order restraining pro-
hibition authorities from interfering
with the practice of DIR. Samuel w.
Lambert with respect to the amount
of whisky which might be prescribed
to one patient"
MONTANA RULING GOES
FARTHER
1.-THE ruling of the Montana federal
jurist, however, goes farther and holds
that the portion of the federal prohi-
bition enforcement act which seeks to
limit the number of prescriptions is
invalid as well as that portion limiting
the quantity prescribed.
1.-THE invalid section of the law with
reference to the number of prescrip-
tons is nothing but an arbitrary re-
striction upon the number of patients
a physician shall treat in ordinary
course of circumstances, or is an un-
reasonable mandate to malpractice in
respect to them, read the courts de-
cision."
CASES NOT ALL ALIKE
Continuing, the court said that If
therapeutics were an exact science and
diseases and their course of unavailable
diagnoses and patients were all con-
stituted alike the provision arbitrarily
fixing the amount of alcohol which
could be prescribed might be valid,
but since In respect to ali these fac
