Magistrate Synaliwicz of Blue Island on charges of
violating the liquor laws
The above item from a Chicago newspaper explains
why saoonkeepers do not stop selling liquor. A
fine of one hundred dollars only ne-tenh of what Chi
cago saoonkeepers formerly paid license fee each
year One hundred dollars is the minimum fine under
the Illinois prohibition act.
The purpose of the prohibition law is to punish those
guilty of doing what is forbidden by the law. A one
hundred dollar fine is not punishment 1t is

when the dry forces divide their votes
among several candidates, while the wet
forces cast solid vote for their man.
In Ohio, seven dry candidates shared the
prohibition vote. The single wet candi-
date finished fourth. In Tennessee two
dry candidates competed against Senator
Shields and one of then with half the dry
vote, beat him. Congressman Rosen
bloom, the wine and beer candidate for
United States Senator in West Virginia,
united the wet forces, while four dry Re-
publicans opposed him for the nomina-
ton. He finished fourth Both the
Democratic candidates were dry.
Can Beat Any Wet
"The number of dry candidates is
growing everywhere. There are enough
dry votes in most states to divide in sec
tons and still beat any wet. When the
vets win any election it is usually be-
cause such division has made possible
the choice OF wet by a very small ma
jority.
"The dry forces have not split with
either political party They are cmni-
partisan and work in all elections to de-
feat men who put the welfare of brew
cry interests above Tie public good and
loyalty to the Constitution.
The Association Against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment dropped its pretense of
supporting law enforcement and revealed
its support of law breakers when i con-
demned the district commission and the
prohibition unit for authorizing police
men to make arrests and seizures under
the federal law The vets always seek to
break down law enforcement machinery,
Practically all the states authorize all po
lice officers to arrest liquor criminals. A
doubtful construction of the law prevents
such officers from following the same
procedure here No good reason can be
given by anyone for denying these officers
such powers, unless the opposers do not
want the laws enforced 1t adds no cost
except to the bootlegger who is arrested"

DIVORCE
Judge Brent Orders Full Pub
Iicity of Cases to Solve
Problem.

Fullest publicity will be given to
divorce trials in Arlington county,
Va, in the hope Of curbing the high
divorce rate, according to orders
made public today by Judge Samuel
G. Brent.
Judge Brent has ordered that all
divorce cases, where testimony has
not been previously taken, shall be
heard in open court. AS u further
deterrent he has ordered that coun-
sci representing the parties must
furnish a stenographer to take the
testimony thus materially increas-
ing the cost of the trial.
It Is the opinion of officials at
the Arlington county courthouse
that the order will result in a great
reduction in the number of divorce
cases filed.
The order is the result Of q
thorough investigation of the divorce
problem in Arlington county made
recently by special committee com.
posed Of Frank l.. Ball, William c..
Cloth and Judge Harry r. Thomas.
Judge Thomas declared that the
order goes even farther than the
recommendation Of the committee
and he anticipates that it will have
a decidedly wholesome effect in re-.
ducing the VIGOROUSLY high divorce
rate in the county.

NEW YORK, March S.-"Only in
formal thinking do many men attri-

Suffragan Bishop Shipman. of New
York, in the second Of his series of
monday Lenten sermons at Trinity
Church. He added:
Prayer is frequently a sort of
conspiracy to put something over,
an attempt to have God underwrite
doubtful enterprises. The excuses
of men with religion of their own
would make even an office boy
laugh. Isn't there a point where
for our own sakes we ought to
realize that the divine patience and
knowledge includes the gift Of COM

Bishop Shipman said that the
day of the compartment theory of
life is gone forever, as a mans
whole life is thrown on the table

R Ado SPEECH
ON HOSPITAL
DRIVE
Col. Edward Clifford Tells of
Work Done by Emergency
and Casualty.

"It's too late to think about what
kind Of hospitals We have when
you're on your way to one in the
ambulance" Col. Edward Clifford,
chairman Of the Emergency Cas-
ualty Hospital campaign, told radio
liSteners-in in a. ten-minute speech
from WCAP, broadcasting station
of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, last night.
Col. Clifford took his audience on
a wOrd-trip through the hospitals,
to show the institutions facilities
and their present needs. He told
of the extensive charity work done
by both hospitals, the financial diff
ficulties and the reasons for the
campaign.
ASK any accident victim if he
expected to be hurt and brought
to the hospital" said Colonel Cliff
ford. "If he is we'll enough, he
will laugh at you. OF course he
didn't expect it. You don't expect
to be hit by an automobile on F
street tomorrow. Neither do l.
But it might happen any day.
Many different things might hap
pen that would send us to the hos
pital with a fighting chance for
life. In that case, we would be
nightly interested to know how
well prepared the hospital was to
take care of US.
Some will ask, why should we
give this money? Why should it
be contributed by the public?' The
answer is another question: Where
else can it come from? The Gov
eminent won't supply it. 1t can
come only from the public of this
community. After all, what could
be more right and proper than to
raise 1t in just this way? The
funds that We are asked to supply
are needed and will be used for
our own service and protection.
II like to think of a subscription
to this campaign as a form of
accident insurance. 1t goes toward
service that We may need at any
time
But let's not forget that it's
also a charity. These hospitals
carry on the finest kind of charity
work. 1t is direct. 1t is effective
1t is badly needed. l can't think
OF any way of spending dollar t.
do more good for humanity than tC
give it to a hospital.
Our campaign began today. 1t
will end March II. There are more
than 600 in the work. Enthusiasts.
tic sincere - earnest Washington
ians, determined to make this cam.
paign a success. They are all busy
people; they are not in this work
for amusement. They are doing it
because they realize it has to be
done"
