Whitlock Depicts Fight for Prohibition

between the stern Puritanical
character of the father and the
tolerant, easier living son. Then
came the war. The rumble Of ar
tillery, the hustle Of troop trains
and the outcome of battles took
his mind away from the realms Of
fancy. After the war the story
that was telling itself to him once
again became the important thing.
He revived the partially completed
manuscript to make it and the
characters he had created live in
the pages of 81. Hardin & Son"
Mr.. Whitlock's latest novel pub
lished by D. Appleton and Com
pGny.
Although it details the fight
for prohibition in its pages 81.
Hardin & Son" is something big
ger than the mere battle waged by
the drys. 1t is not preachment
for or against the movement-it
is the reaction of certain charact-
ers to this problem and to the
problems of life. In it are love
and hate, weakness and strength,
charity and the hateful gossip Of
the small community. In fact 1t
has all Of life in it and the
problems Of the characters are not
settled, for they are never settled
in life itself.
The Bingham County news. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1918-1930, 1923-11-23

Life according 10 one observer,
is made up largely of gossip. The
smaller the community the more
intensive the gossip. The varied
interests of city take the minds
Of it's citizens away from the acts
of their neighbors and small hap
penings are not magnified into
big events.
Brand Whitlock, author, diplo-
mat, student and observer, knew
life in a small Ohio town in all its
intimacies. He observed in his
early youth and indexed a mass
of events to make into a tale of a
small town. He saw the fight for
prohibition beginning with all it's
intensity and the estrangement it
worked in some families. He saw
how the people of a small town
and the surrounding farming land
lived, knew their temptations,
their failings and their human
ity.
Before the World War Mr..
Whitlock when American minister
to Belgium began putting down on
paper the thoughts and the me-
mories of other days in Ohio. He
selected for his chief character
Paul Hardin, son Of j. Hardin,
carriage maker Of an Ohio town,
and was detailing the conflict

'Au Bootleg Liquor Is Poison" Says Garfield

"Unless you have a steel stom-
ach duly guaranteed to Withstand
eating liquids, and iron kidneys
properly certified to resist burn
Ing liquors, and a metallic heart
assured to absorb abnormal action
and unusual reaction, and an as
bestos covered liver attested to be
immune from alcoholic diseases,
and other super-organs, DON'T
DRINK the fraudulent and poison
GUS intoxicating liquors being ped
died and sold by bootleggers. )"
Thus admonishes Palmer Garfield,
Federal Prohibition Director Of
New York State, in a statement
published in the October issue Of
physical Culture"
"Out Of every one hundred bot
ties Of liquor sold as real whisky
or gin, only one has any legitimate
relationship to real liquor" states
Director Garfield, "The other
ninety-nine are noxious, unwhole-
some, semi-poisonous, synthetic
whisky or gin. These figures are
not fantastic or guess-work, but
are based upon the chemical ana
lysis of thousands Of samples taken
from seized liquors sold illegally.
During the first year Of Prohibi-
ton, about sixty percent Of dis
titled spirits sold was straight
whisky, and during the second
year the proportion had decreased
to twenty-five percent, and at the
present time, as the Government
Chemist CULLEN reports, only one
percent is straight whisky.
Denatured Alcohol
"The other ninty-nine per cent"
affirms Director Garfield, sis re-
distilled denatured alcohol colored
with caramel and favored with
synthe tic esters and fusel-oil and
soap bark added to give it bead.
The present so-called rye whisky
is made from redistilled denatured
alcohol colored with caramel and
favored with a synthetic ester to
give it the rye flavor. Nearly all
of the so-called Scotch whisky is
also alcohol, artificially colored and
favored with a synthetic Scotch
flavor.
! Specially denatured alcohol is
a legitimate commercial product
used in making toilet waters and
hair tonics and in other trades. In
gradients are added to render the
alcohol unfit for use as a beverage.
Among them are sulphuric acid,
brucine, iodine, wood alcohol, pyri
dine, benzol, carbolic acid and ace
tone. The manufacturers Of these
synthetic liquors attempt by redis-
tillation to remove these ingredi-
ents. out it cannot be done COM
pletely.
"Real, pure, straight whisky can
only be made in a proper scien-
tific manner by those having had
proper training and with proper
machinery and apparatus and un-
der hygienic conditions and with
the necessary number Of years for
the proper aging process and the
elimination of the poisonous ingre-
dents. The bootlegger does not

WHY NOT AN "EVEN BREAK?

"a Calm Review of Calm Man" is
the subject of an interesting article
by Samuel G. Blythe in the last Sat-
urday Evening Post in which the
writer, true to his text, calmly re-
views Mr.. Harding's great work as
our chief administrator.
The writer reminds his readers that
while the Office of President, lis the
most powerful, dignifed and import
ant political position in the world" it
brings to the incumbent "the plight of
being damned il they do and damned
if they don't. He sees that it has
come to Harding as it comes to every
President that "the beginning of the
latter half of Presidents term is the
lowest ebb of his political and official
fortunes.
Mr.. Blythe reviews the criticism of
the President, the sources from which
it comes. He assumes that all Pres
idents do their best and he urges:
Lets have little fair play in this
matter. Even a President is entitled
to a fifty fifty break. He admits that
the President is neither noisy nor
brilliant in Snowy sense, is tenn
peramentally a calm man, that con-
trary to some reports he is hard
though quiet worker, that he has a
way Of solving difficulties, and he
enumerates a long list of the greater
ones, solution Of which the President
has brought about. He cites instances
where the President has acted swiftly
! and effectively, though never noisily
in certain emergencies, has shown a
backbone which many have said he
didn't possess.
Under Harding this country has
come to be the only legitima tely pros
porous country in the world, and the
writer reviews the processes by which
the President has been able to help
in bringing this about, and presents
proof of his assertions.
Mr.. Blythe concludes with these
administration cannot successfully
answer however much of a flourish
they make in trying to evade them:
What, to repeat a question asked
some time back do the people want !?
They have prosperity. They have
economy in government. They have
fine type of American for President,
a human understandable, modest,
kindly man, with all the reserve force
needed to govern capably.
"Why let lot of self seeking poll
ticians, with no other motive than
their own advancement, and with
their own interests paramount to
those of the country and the people,
obscure the real facts with fog of de-
nunciation and theory and demagog-
ism? Why not give the President an
even break?
Why not?
