think that childhood spent in play
is inadequate preparation for the
work. to be done in manhood or wom-
anhood? To be sure childhood is the
time for play and we should not ex-
pect child to do the things that an
adult does, but he should be trained
to assume small responsibilities
gradally increasing them until he
is ready to go out into the world full
ly prepared to take his share.
Mothers think that they are help
ing their children by waiting upon
them, but they are in truth harming
them. ! have in mind a young girl
whose mother was so devoted to her
that she never allowed her to do any
thing for herself nor to share in the
responsibilities of the home. She was
scarcely allowed to think for her.
self. The mother assumed the work
ing out of each of her problems.
When she finally left home to go
away to school, she was helpless in
deed. She was tardy at classes, les
sons were improperly prepared, she
lost her books and purse, and, in
general, was a sad trial to her teach
ers and others with whom she came
in contact. Finally, her training COM
pleted, or supposedly completed, she
secured position as teacher In her
home town. On the opening day of
school she oversight. Her mother did
not awaken her, and she entered up
on her duties an hour late thus MAX
ing a poor impression for herself
at the very beginning of her work.
Then, unaccustomed to seeing things
to be done unless pointed out to her,
she failed to note many matters need
ing her attention during the first
day. The principal did not find her
in her room one morning, but after
a search he found her in the school
yard, playing with the seventh grade
children. And that was where she
belonged; she could assume just
about as much responsibility as a
seventh-grader.
A child's training with regard to
responsibilities should begin in baby
hood. As soon as he can walk across
the floor and play with a ball, he
should be taught to put that ball in
its place before he goes to bed. As
his playthings become more numer-
Gus he should, gradually, learn to
take care of each in the same way.
As he grows older he should be
taught that each one in the family
circle has his work to do. Father
earns the money for food; Mother
cooks it; Brother and Sister run err
rands and wash the dishes. And if
the mother constructively instructs,
corrects and praises, he, too, will
soon look for opportunities to prove
himself an active member of the fam
lily circle.

Biddeford, Maine, was the scene on
June % of remarkable demonstration
for total abstinence. On that day $500
French-American Catholics marched
through downtown streets in a parade
marking the opening of New England
wide campaign for total abstinence as
the most practical way to combat lax en-
forcement of the prohibition law.
The parade was part of the annual
convention of the Lacordaire Anti-Alco-
holic Society, a movement that compares
with the organization founded by the
English temperance apostle, Father Mat
thew.
The society was organized in 1905 by
the Rev. Joseph Aniedes Jacquemet,
Dominican friar. 1t enrolls both men
and women and requires its members to
be total abstainers and to be so for their
own free will. The vomen's auxiliary is
known as the Society of St. Joan of Arc.
The motto of the mems organization is
Honor, Health and Happiness" Its
symbol is white ribbon.
The paraders were given a cordial well

ford streets wearing their white symbols

whelmingly in favor of the law. The
greatest difficulty is conferred particularly
in the great metropolitan states in the
east. However, even there those who are
close observers and who are fair, will adj
nit that excellent progress is being made
and that with the better coordination of
municipal, county and state enforcement
factors with the federal machinery the
progress will be much more rapid.
Nothing can SO assist at this time as
for the state laws to be used in all pos
sible cases, particularly against the small
violator. In many states the state laws
are not only more effective, but there are
many times more courts and speedier
methods of trial provided, as we'll as
heavier penalty possibilities. In the state
of Virginia, four-hfths of the prohibition
cases are taken to the state courts, since
the drastic new state enforcement law
became effective and in other states more
and more is this being done.
The institution of paddock cases. which
has been found such an effective way of
dealing with certain classes of violators,
is now being handled in state courts as
we'll as in federal courts, resulting in less

motto along with the flags of the United
States and France.
AS part of the ceremony Father JAG
quemet preached two sermons, one at
mass in St. Joseph's Church and another
in St. Andrews Church He delivered a
heart to heart talk to his hearers in
which he contended that prayer will do
more than legislation to bring a heavy
drinker to the paths OF sobriety. He be-
seeches his followers to lend their aid to
those who had been a victim of hard
drink and through kindness help make
the way smoother for the one who tries
to reform.
A new feature of the work of the So
ciety is seen in its effort to influence the
women to cease making home brew or
wine or using stills in their homes. It
points out the evils of bootleg liquor to
its members and asks them to obey the
law.
Members of the society attended the
Biddeford demonstration from many
New England cities, including Salem,
Lowell, Lawrence, North Bridge and
Sanford. There are branches of the so
ciety in A cities of New England. More
than SO new members were enrolled as
gesult of the Biddeford demonstration.

are led by capable politicians we'll sup
Piled with all the sinews of war, but in
the long run l believe the activity of the
opposition will serve good purpose. 1t
will arouse from their apathy the good
friends of the law who allowed themselves
to sink into lethargy when the first VIC
tory was won. They seemed not to real
ize that there must be succession of
victories, that the fight must be con-
tinuous one, like the fight that the farmer
wages against weeds. However, the con-
slant attack of the enemy has aroused the
friends of the law and the forces are
gathering rapidly in some sections,
slowly in some other sections, but stead
lily day after day. Now is the zero hour.
The uncertainty is not whether national
prohibition shall become an American in
stitution. That is already decided. 1t is
how rapidly America shall move toward
universal observance of a principle that
has been written into her charter. To
nullify the prohibitory laws or to repeal
them will cure no evils that arise from
the liquor traffic, but precedent will be
set that will make it easier to nullify any
law that may be rendered difficult of en-
forcement through propaganda or un-
American prejudice. To enforce the
Volstead Act and to make the Eighteenth
Amendment operative will give all law an
added weight of authority in the public
mind, and proof is not wanting to show
that there will thereby be removed one
of the nations chief sources of all law
violation.
The business of this hour is the en-
forcement of this law. The facts disclose
that nationally we are making remark
able progress, although it is difficult for
those whose knowledge of the progress is
circumscribed by the boundaries of their
own limited areas to realize it. To fully
appreciate what has been done and is be-
ing done, it is necessary to see the prob
lem is a whole. Comparatively little diff
fculty is being experienced in the great
western and southern sections of the
country where the sentiment is over

fort on the part of enforcement agents.
Local Officers Have Duty


In the states where the state law is not
as advantageous, or there is no state law,
it is still the general duty of every local
and state enforcement officer to help en-
force this law. Where local officials can
not take the initiative, they can at least
report any evidence of violations to fed
eral agents who will act promptly upon
all complaints.
The federal government should not be
called upon to put on police uniform
and police your back yards. The federal
governments responsibility is manifestly
to handle the smuggling situation along
the coast and the borders, and the control
OF the source of supply within the United
States. These major operations are in
terfered with in proportion as there is
loaded onto the federal government all
the things that should~be done locally.
The magnitude OF tie policing activities
of the federal prohibition officers can be
realized from the fact that during the
1928 fiscal year 66,936 persons were ar
rested by these officers for violating the
prohibition law. During the first three
quarters of the 1924 fiscal year, the latest
period for which complete figures are
available, 50,087 arrests were made This
work was accomplished with approxi-
mately 800 agents, many of whom
spend almost their entire time in inspec-
ton of permits, breweries, etc.
During the fiscal year ended Jure 80,
1923, there were 49,02l criminal cases in
sttuted in United States district courts,
resulting in 34,067 convictions, with i'm
position of $40, 979.77 in fines, forfeit
ures, etc, and 2,241 years, months and
8 days in jail sentences. Reports for this
fiscal year have not yet been made up
Since the National Prohibition Act be-
came effective, nearly nineteen and a
half million dollars in fines, and Jail SEN
fences aggregating approximately $500
years have been imposed in prohibition
cases. In conspiracy cases alone nearly
a million dollars in fines, and jail sen
fences approximating $50 years, nave
been imposed. Only since July, 1922,
have violators been tried under the United
States Criminal Code for conspiracy 10

during this period nearly thousand of

dants. The penalties for conviction on

MAJOR ROY A. HAYNES


great difficulty, he said, is that the SER
iousness of the offense on the side of the
buyer is not generally understood, but it
is nevertheless true that if the demand
for their product in the higher circles of
society was shut off, ninety FER cent of
the bootleggers would go out of business.
1t is outrageous that in any American
home the household should feel more
ashamed of not having liquor to serve
their guests, than ashamed to violate the
law Of the land. They may not have so
regarded it, but such violators who Sc
cure their liquor illegally through boot
leg channels, are merely paying others to
commit crime-for every drop of the con-
traband they purchase comes to them
tainted with perjury, forgery, bribery and
perhaps even greater crime. The time is
not far distant when the same jail that
houses the boot1egger will house also his
accomplice in crime-the wealthy buyer
of his illicit product. Indeed, there have
already been a number of cases where
buyers have been convicted along with
the seller.
I am not blind to our difficulties. I
know what has been accomplished. [
know what yet must be accomplished
The prohibition law, as all other laws, is
being violated, but the charge of general
wholesale violations is unfounded, for no
community will long tolerate nuisance.
One frequently hears an uniformed in
dividual or group say that there is more
drinking than ever. Certain groups may
be drinking more, but they are certainly
small in comparative numbers, and as a
general national proposition the claim
that there is more drinking than ever is
absurd on its face as tested b. the senses.
The good order and behavior, and the
soberness found in the great Shrine con-
vention in Washington, D. C., last year,
and at a similar convocation again this
year held in Kansas City, Mo, and at
the Republican National Convention at
Cleveland Ohio, and at the Democratic
National Convention at New York. as
compared with other years, and in practi-
cally every great gathering of people
wherever held in the country the past
two or three years, eloquently proclaim
the decreased use of beverage liquor.
During the fiscal year ended June so,
1928, new low record was made in with
drawa1s of whisky from bonded ware
houses, only 1,754,893 gallons being with
drawn, as compared with the withdrawal
of 8,671 800 in the 1921 fiscal year. re-
duction of nearly seven and one-half mil
lion gallons. While figures are not yet
available for the full fiscal year ended
June 80, 1924, up to March 81 there had
been withdrawn total of 1857, 504 gal
Ions, indicating that Withdrawals for the
1924 fiscal year will be about the same as
for 1923. 1t is believed that Withdrawals
have now been reduced to the approx
mate medicinal needs and that very little
bonded whisky is escaping into illicit
channels. This supply of necessity would
form the chief basis of whatever good
quality American liquor would be avail
able for beverage purposes in such pro-
portion of this amount as was illegiti-
mately diverted which is generally adj
