to break the power of alcoholic appetite
was the accessibility of liquor"
In those old days of license liquor was
literally pushing itself" all the time at
man or woman who had become addicted
to its use. When the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution became opera
tive, $4,000 legalized saloons were closed.
If any continued operation they continued
under camoufage. They no longer could
conduct their business openly as in the
days when located on the best corners of
the business sections of our cities and
when their doors were open to all Corners
who wanted a drink and who had the
price. They invited customers by making
their places as attractive as possible and
by openly advertising their wares. They
were literally pushing" liquor upon the
victim of alcoholic appetite In short,
they sought the drinker.
Under prohibition the man with a thirst
must seek the liquor seller. This fact in
itself is a fundamental fact that has made
prohibition of such far-reaching value.
The vast majority of former saloon pa
irons will not hunt the liquor seller be-
cause such quest leads through paths he
refuses to travel. He doesn't like the
back alley scenery nor the foul air of the
dirty room in the cellar of the tenement
building, the abode of the present day 1iq-
uor seller. And most of all, he refuses to
trample under foot the Constitution and
laws of hic cot,nfrv
That is why literally thousands can say,
"I'm free, Bill, I'm free now that it isn't
pushing itself at me all the time"
That's why literally thousands of wo-
men and children can echo the chorus,
women and children who in the days of
the open inviting saloon were made VIC
Tins of the greed of the liquor maker and
liquor seller because of the appetite of the
wage Garner.

HERE'S A PRETTY MESS
Sheriff, Deputies and Prominent Men In-
dicted by Federal Court

Sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and wouid-be
sheriffs in West Virginia seem to have
mania for mixing up with illicit liquor.
The federal grand jury at Huntington
has indicted Don Chain, sheriff of Logan
county, on two liquor counts. The in
dictments allege conspiracy to violate the
Volstead Act, and having engaged unlaw-
fully in thesretail liquor business. The in-
dictments were returned following SUBJ
mission of testimony that the sheriff was
a partner in a speakeasy and that another
member of the speakeasy firm was Tennis
Hatfield, now Republican nominee for
sheriff of Logan county. Hatfield served
a Jail term of II months, and paid fine
of $1,000 for his part in the speakeasy. It
is said it was his testimony that resulted
in the Indictment of the sheriff.
Five deputy sheriffs under Chain also
were indicted on various liquor charges
and so was Emmett Scaggs, superinten-
dent of schools in Logan county, and
Democratic nominee for sheriff. Scaggs
was indicted for possessing liquor ille-
gally.

This reporters experience is typical of
the experience of many thousands of
others in prohibition United States.

death wrote an article which attracted I'M

The following incident is related by tn
Alliance News of London, England:
A few months ago Mr.. w. E. John
son after speaking in Ohio was
greeted by hearty slap on the back
and the words, well, Bill, am glad
to see you.'' Turning round he found
an old reporter friend of bygone years
whom he had known as capable man
who had bad drinking bouts from
time to time and whom he had bailed
out on more than one occasion. The
two went off for chat and the man
said, you know, Bill, that for thirty
years l was never really sober, but

using trade or their representatives who
desired to be heard were given an oppor-
tunity to appear and present their objec-
tons to the bill. 1t was reported unani-
mously by the Judiciary Committee on
May 5 with an amendment providing for
the creation within the bureau of Di-
vision of Industrial Alcohol and Chemis->
try to be administered by chief chemist
who was to be appointed by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. In the form agreed
upon, the amendment was never accepted
by Mr.. Cramton.
When the bill reached the floor of the
House, Mr.. Cramton appealed to the
Steering Committee to bring the bill be-
fore the House either through a rule or
by suspension of the rules. The men,
bers of the committee preferred that the
bill be brought up through suspension of
the rules, which would require a two
thirds vote. Mr.. Cramton expressed his
willingness to go either way and went to
recognition to move to suspend the rules
and pass the bill with an amendment and
fully explained the amendment to the
Speaker.
On June 5, he moved to suspend the
rules and to pass the bill with the amend
ment, which provided that the chief of
the Division of Industrial Alcohol and
Chemistry should be appointed by the
Commissioner of Prohibition, subject to
the approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury.
When this motion was pending, the OPP
ponents of the bill and some of the friends
of prohibition enforcement (who possibly
did not know all the facts connected with
the procedure upon this point), objected
on the ground that the motion and the
amendment ought not to be combined.
Mr.. Cramton had requested that the bill
be brought up in either way. If brought
up under a special rule, it would have been
possible to have separate vote on each
amendment and a majority would have
suficed to pass the bill. When brought
up under suspension of the rules, a two
thirds vote was necessary to pass it and
only one vote could be had on suspending
the rules, amending the bill as proposed

in the motion, and passing the bill. That
the bill was brought up in the House I'M
der suspension instead of under special
rule was not because of any preference by
Mr.. Cramton or other friends of the bill
but because the House leadership pre-
ferred that course as a great economizer
of time of the House, etc. The bill
passed the House with Mr.. Cramton's
amendment in it by vote of Us to SO.
The position of those representatives of
the a1cohol-using industries who oppose
the provision of the Cramton Bill, in
tended to provide for a better fixing of
responsibility for prohibition enforcement,
is strangely inconsistent with that of other
similar organizations which are demand
ing better control of the distribution of in
poses. Professor Arney, president of the
American Pharmaceutical Association, re-
Gently addressing a convention of that
body, called attention to the abuses grow
ing out of the handling of liquor by drug
gists. He advocated that the dispensing
of medicinal liquors by druggists be dis
continued.
The press reports that the National
Wholesale Druggists Association in con-
vention at Atlantic City have appointed
special committee to investigate the prob
lem created for the druggist by reason of
the drug store whose sole reason for ex-
istence is the illegal sale of liquor The
testimony before the Judiciary Committee
at the hearing on this bill Indicated that
at least 100000 gallons of alcohol was
diverted last year for illegal purposes.
Reduced to beverage strength, this would
be over 200,000,000 ha1f-pints. The pres
ent division of responsibility is largely re-
sponsible for this. Some trade organiza-
tons, such as the United Medicine Man
ufacturers and the American Drug Manu-
facturers' Association, have indicated that
they do not fear any undue interference
with the legitimate trade from the passage
of the Cramton Bill.
This question should be met squarely.
The great alcohol-using industry, which is
daily becoming more important factor in
our economic life, should not be misled
by those whose prejudice against the pol
icy of prohibition warps their judgment.
