compel enforcement as vigorously as it
exerted itself through the fifty wears be-

Mr.. Seldom places much confidence in

One important paragraph in this re-
port, because it points to alcohol rather
than innate inferiority as the cause of the
mental breakdown. is the following:
These data confirm other studies and
show conclusively that alcoholic insanity
is principally disorder of advanced mid
die life. Except in few cases of patho-
logical intoxication, the mental break
down is usually preceded by several
years of indulgence in alcoholic liquors,
the average period in New York state for
men being 22.2 years and for women 1914
years. Doubt is thus cast upon the state
ment frequently heard that alcoholic in
sanity is symptom rather than disease.
Another significant paragraph is:
The enforcement of prohibitory laws is
largely a matter of changing the more or
less fixed habits of our foreign born
population.

THE O-AMERICAN PACT
AGAINST RUM SMUGGLING
By Wayne B. Wheeler


To keep the run of prohibition history
IN the making, one needs to have at hand
reliable information on its outstanding
factors. This review of the treaty reached
by Great Britain and the United States
on rum smuggling is such a document.
1t covers the questions of territorial linn
its, right of search, sealed" liquors, and
the advantages gained by the treaty.
Among the latter are
1t will extend the distance within which
Our vessels may operate against liquor
smugglers. This will force the so-called
rum fleet to keep at a greater distance
from our coast. 1t will increase the dis
lance to be covered by the boats COM
municating with the shore It will add to
the probability of capture of such boats,
multiply their hazards from weather and
render such work more costly. The right
of search will be broadened by the treaty.
;. Reasonable cause for belief that the
vessel has been smuggling or is attempt
ing to smuggle liquors into this country
will be sufficient for search and seizure
under the treaty. The evils which
arose from the former regulation which
allowed use of liquor carried as sea stores
within our ports, will be minimized under
the treaty, since such use will be pro-
hibited while the vessels are in our terri
torial waters.

THE BOTLEGGER,S PARTNER

The strong indictment pronounced by
the Connecticut judge last week in the
trial of a case of bootlegging has gone
echoing through the press. The Woman
Citizen cites some of the charges and
adds:
The logic is unanswerab1e Law break
ing encourages law breaking. The public
knows that the bootlegging trail stops at
nothing, that some of the most dangerous
criminals in the country are engaged in
the work because of the huge financial
rewards it offers This money comes not
from the pockets of the low and degraded
outcast class, but from those of the
wealthy and respected citizens of the
country. Is it not time that public opin-
ion, instead of jeering at and making light
of bootlegging, should recognize the men
ace for what it is and should hold as cul-
pablo those who buy from the boo1egger.

PROHIBITION CUTTERS
Rv Charles A Se1dnn
By Charles A. Seldom

Plain speaking does not have to be
discouraging. We are glad therefore,
that after telling US that there is enough
of a breakdown in the United States in
the enforcement of the prohibition laws
to constitute a national scandal Mr.. Sell
den can assure us that non-enforcement
is regional, its faint is here and there, not
everywhere.
Other statements which we can bal
ance as stimulus to increased activity and
gratitude for results accomplished are:
The facts of health and all other groups
of public welfare statistics, of savings
bank returns, crime and jail figures, rec
ords of workers prosperity and dependa-
bility, and the improved conditions of
family and child life, all show that the
country is far better off under prohibi-
ton, as imperfectly enforced as it is, than
it was before. There is reason for

MORE BREWERIES SEIZED

Three Pennsylvania breweries and a

States Marshal Glass and his deputies on
April 80 pending decision on the libels
filed against them by federal prohibition
authorities. 1t was announced that the
Ortleib brewery, Mauch Chunk E. Rob-
inson's Sons brewery, Scranton, the Leb-
anon brewery, Lebanon, and the Seas
holz bottiing works, Sunbury, were taken
over by the marshals and guards were
placed about the plant.
The brewers are the chief violators of
the prohibition law.
