ALCOHOLISM UNDER PROHI-
BITION

american Journal of Health and
Hyg;ene)
Many confusing and misleading state
ments have been male with regard to the
effects of prohibition. 1t is an unques-
tionable fact that the death rate in this
country since prohibition took effect,
barring the influenza year, has been very
low and that the death rate from alcohol
ism and cirrhosis of the liver decreased
rapidly until 1921 The death rate in
1920 from alcoholism was less than one
fifth of that prevailing in 1o06-l910. From
1906 to 1917 the death rate from alco-
holism huctuated between ST. and So
per 100000. In 1918 it fell to 81 and in
1920 it was 10; in 1921 there was a rise
to 1.8, and in 1922 to 20 But the rate is
still only one-half of that prevailing in
1917, and reports from industrial life in
surance sources afording good index
of conditions in the population at large,
show a decided drop i'll the death rate
from alcoholism in the first quarter of
1924, the first downward turn since 1920.
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that these deaths from alcoholism, under
present conditions, do not necessarily re-
fleet a parallel change in alcoholic CON
sumption The alcoholic beverages now
sold by the bootlegger are far more
lethal in their effect. A much more linz
tied general consumption of these bever-
ages would not be inconsistent with a
high and increasing death rate per 100,-
600 OF population from so-called alcohol
ism.

REGULATION AND CONTROL BOTH
PROVED FAILURE

Saloons were licensed to keep open GER
tain hours. They never obeyed They
were licensed to close on Sundays. In
all large cities and many small ones they
always stayed open. They were licensed
not to sell to DRINKS. They sold as long
as the man had dime and when he got
SO drunk he couldn't get out of the saloon,
they kicked him out, or piled him up in a
corner. They were prohibited from con-
Quoting gambling dens. Practically all of
them had gambling den in connection
with their place of business. They were
prohibited from selling to minors. A ten
year-old kid could buy beer over the coun-
ter. They were prohibited from keeping
women around their places of business.
Practically most big city saloons had
rooms connected which were hangouts for
wild women. Everybody knows these
statements are facts.-Sterling Gazette.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-10-17
1t Cannot Be Controlled

In one sense the old license law was
government control. 1t permitted the
sale of liquor; it sought to control it by
regulations as to days, hours, premises,
persons selling, persons buying, quantity
sold, form of package, kind of liquor, ETC.
This was all government control, but it
did not control nor can human ingenuity
devise any system by which the evils of
the liquor traffic are to be controlled if
the sale of liquor is permitted. Control
ends the moment the liquor leaves the
government dispensary and the self-conI
troll of the individual who drinks ends
when the booze gets into hinl.-The Pio-
neer, Canada.

LAWLESSNESS WORSE
THAN FIRE

Chicago day, 1924 raises high in
the sight of all the red glare of its
beacon fires warning us of the per-
lis which menace public safety and
the peaceful progress of the city.
More disastrous than the destruc-
tive great fire is the devastating
lawlessness breaking out not only
in acts of violence against life and
property but more dangerously in
private speech and public express
sion disloyal to all law.
If anything were wanting to
arouse the law-abiding majorities in
this great city not only to public
defense but to self-defense as we'll,
it was amply expressed when at a
banquet where he was one of the
guests of honor the mayor of Chi
cage was publicly ridiculed and de-
nounced to his face for doing his
sworn duty III executing the law
against illegal traffics and in sup
pressing the outlaws who murder
ously fight each other and the of
fcers of the law for illicit gains.
That was more than a festive oc-
casion. 1t has sinister political sig
nihcance that BODIES i'll for Chicago
for the next three years and after,
unless the poison plant is nipped in
this bitter bud.
This weeks Chicago day leaves all
its citizens standing between the
alluring promise of the greater Chi
cago that is coming to be, and the
lurid warning of what may happen
to heedlessly happy-go-lucky citi-
zenship.

Chicago Commons i'll the Chicago
Daily News refers to the attack by

FINNISH ATHLETES ARE
ABSTAINERS
Lausanne, Switzerland,
August 81. 1924.


Mr.. o. G. Christgau, Editor,
Illinois Edition, American Issue,
1900 Security Bldg, Chicago.
Dear Mr.. Christgau:
| thank you for your letter of
July Is and the picture postcards
you sent us showing the play
grounds of Chicago people for our
collection of lantern slides. I also
believe as you do that the superb
ority of the Americans at the last
Olympic Games was due for a
good part to the fact that these
people take no alcoholic drinks and
live in prohibition country. 1t
is quite curious to see that Finland,
also prohibition country though
the enforcement is very difficult,
comes second after the United
States in this great contest. And
I@know that the great Finnish ath-
letes, like Ritola and Nurmi and
others are absolutely against the
use of any alcoholic beverages, not
only just before the contest or dur
ing the training period but abso-
lutely at any time.
With many thanks for your kind
ness and hoping you may perhaps
be able to send us the photos you
look. for of transformed breweries
and distilleries, | am
Yours very truly,
r. Hercod, Director General,
Internationa. Bureau Against
Alcoholism.
