The legality of the conviction is contested
upon the ground that the ordinance in
question is ultra wires.
The provision in question is reason
able and legitimate exercise of the police
power which inheres necessitate as an
incident for self preservation, in every mu-

lative mandate the power of local self
government.
1t is contended, however, that the pro-
vision in question is an unreasonable ex-
ercise of the police power, in that its
operation is to unduly expose the prose-
cutor's legitimate business to the unre-
served scrutiny of the curious public, and
therefore unreasonably interfere with its
legitimate operation. That it may have
this effect to some extent may be con-
coded, and yet it must be observed that
such result is simply an accident of the

THE EFFECT OF ALCOHOL
Letter to the Editor

The strange faulty of those one-tracll
minds that insist on looking at prohbi-
ton as an attack upon the drinker i'll
stead OF upon the traffic that causes the
drink evil is we'll illustrated by con-
tributor to the Spectators letter col
umn.
After telling how happy and satisfac-
tory his life has been with an accom-
paniment of drinking and smoking, and
proposing the methods he thinks should
be employed in dealing with the drink
question, he says:
Education has done wonders, as sta
tistics prove, and if it is left alone will
probably in time accomplish its perfect
work. Prohibition would seem to be the
common course for inebriates and people
who have shown themselves incapable of
the right use of liberty. That, however,
is not the way of our reformers The
tear of sensibility is always yelling up
for the alcoholic and the degenerate; the
strait wastcoat is for those who can use
Gods gifts i'll due measure and be thank
full for them"
The reverend gentleman, for he is a
reverend, appears to be out of sympathy
with those who pity instead of condemn
the inebriatc and the alcoholic degenerate,
regarding them as victims of the traffic
that causes their undoing and of the COM
munity which encourages the traffic at
their expense.
His apparent harshncss is perhaps ex-
cusable on the ground that to his mind
alcoholic drinks are Gods gifts" in

The prosecutor who conducts cafe

was convicted before the recorder of the
municipality for violation of section of
an ordinance, providing for the licensing
of public places in the town wherever
food or drink or both are sold to be con-

violation complained of was his failure to
have his windows so constructed as to

RUM ROWS BARONET SPEAKS
OUT
BY Donald LAWYER

The interviewer for the New York
Times asked the English titled rum
smuggler several pointed questions, after
which the interviewed became inter
viewer and, reading the report of the as
sistant solicitor to the collector of the
port OF New York as to the number of
Mullins of Revenue the United States
had lost from rum smuggling asked:
Now will you please tell me how your
coast guard was able to arrive at those
figures? 1t is a natural presumption to
consider that the coast guard is stationed
to stop smugglers from landing goods.
But in relation to whisky it appears it
not only made a careful check of the
number of cases landed in New York
City during the period of two years, but
that it actually notified the Collector of
the port of this fact. l cannot under
stand it.
am not decrying American public Of
hcials nor American public servants.
Don't misunderstood me. But a ship
load of liquor is a rather bulky affair. 1t
must be landed somewhere. 1t must be
carted from the landing place to some
warehouse. And it must then be reds-
tributed from that warehouse to its ulti-
mate customers. How it gets there is
none of my business. But I don't see
how they can check it so accurately.
The answer to this question may help
to thin out the rum feet.

ONTARIO REMAINED DRY
Editorial

In discussing the dry vote in Ontario,
the heavy wet vote in the cities and the
greatly reduced dry majority from the
vote i'll 1919, the editor expresses in the
following words what all far-sighted per-
sons are now seeing as the next task.
May it not be that the prohibition
forces everywhere today instead of bend
ing all their energies to retain and up
hold prohibitory laws must devote large
measure of effort to the persistent prop
uganda of education and the winning over
OF opponents of their cause, which con-
stituted originally the strength of the pro-
hibition movement and the means by
which legislation was secured Con-
vincang the mass of the people that a
prohibitory law was just and right is at
the present time the most important
task before those who wish to see no re-
cession in the movement that they be-
lieve future civilization will regard as
akin to the movement for the suppress
sion of slavery.

IT'S NOW MEAT PACKERY
Old Brewery at Seattle is Turned Into
Enterprise to Feed, Not Fool Folks

One of the best known breweries in the
west was the Rainier Brewery at Seattle.
Now this old plant has been secured by
mllion-dollar organization and has
been changed into the largest meat pack
ing establishment in the northwest. The
new concern will also have a department
for the handling of wool and will manu-
facture soap, and later the canning of
fruit and vegetables will be added to the
output.
When all departments of the new con-
Germ are at work twice as many men will
be needed to operate the plant as were
employed in the old brewery. Here is
another instance where the argument of
the liquor interests of some few years ago
that closing breweries and distilleries and
saloons would throw thousands of men
out of employment, is effectively refuted.

HEART DISEASE
By Haven Emerson, NJ. D.


The Survey publishes whole group of
articles, some by doctors, some by lay
men, on the subject of heart disease, now
the leading cause of death in the United
States, "since tuberculosis has been
pulled from its place as arch-execu-
TONER"
Heart disease caused 1872 per cent. of
all deaths at and above 40 years of age;
kidney disease, cancer and apopleXy came
next, each a little over II per cent. of
all deaths, while pulmonary tuberculosis
had only 40, with pneumonia following
closely at AZ per cent
DIR. Haven Emerson gives as the four
main causes of heart disease: general in
lection, chiefly rheumatic fever and
syphilis; poisoning by alcohol, tea, coffee,
and tobacco; poor bodily habits, physi-
cal Incidence, obesity, occasional exer-
ton without sufficient training and con-
genital defects, those errors of develop
ment in the prenatal months of the in
FAINT which leave the heart imperfect at
birth.
Coming to the poison group of causes,
DIR. Emerson says:
Alcohol an irritant and depressant
drug, is no longer used by well-informed
physicians as a heart stimulant, but the
laity will doubtless continue to medicate
itself as of yore because it likes the taste
and the dulling effect of liquor"

suing policy similar to that of Mr..
Ford in Detroit in dealing with drinking
employees, or with those who bring liq-

leniency in that he does not apply the
penalty of dismissal until the third Of

weeks suspension without pay.
Concerning the effect of prohibition

That the ordinance excludes from its
operation certain classes OF stores there

by the prosecutor. does not as is claimed
render the ordinance invalid. We have
held otherwise in this court.
Finally, it is argued that the ordinance
is unreasonable as an exercise of the po-
lice power Upon this subject much
might be said but Tie power of the mu-
nicipality to require a license for the sale
OF soft drinks cannot reasonably be gain
said.
The necessity for the passage of the
ordinance must rest III the discretion of
the municipal body who are presumed
to be conversant with general conditions,
making necessary the passage OF such
regulation, for it has been held to be
matter of common knowledge, that since
the passage of the prohibition amendment
there has been inaugurated widespread
IL
of its provisions, especially under the
guise of the sale of so-called soft drinks,
some of which are considered often in
furious to health, III Att. 748 (md).
Certainly the municipal council must
be credited with knowledge of public
character which the average citizen upon
the street is known to possess. For in
stance, they must know that modern con-
ditions have added to our vocabulary the
euphonous substantives "Bootlegger"
and "Hijacker" as though to emphasize
the existence of an illicit recognized
trade, and to clarity and distinguish its
elusive followers. Such characters nee
essari1y are conspirators against the en-
forcement of law, and seek not the open
places wherein to carry on their nefarous
trade, but only such places where the
sun seldom enters and where darkness
is a welcome guest
Considerations OF public policy such as
these might properly actuate the mem
bers of the council in the passage of the
ordinance sub judice, and would afford
a legal basis for its passage. North Jer-
