REMONSTRANCE DOESN'T
STOP ENFORCEMENT

An official of the United States Brew
ers Association had his private yacht held
up by the coast guard off the Jersey
coast. Whereupon this brewer Indignantly
protested to United States Senator Edge
against this so-called interference by the
United States government. Senator Edge
wired remonstrance to Prohibition Chief
General Lincoln c. Andrews, assistant
Secretary of the Treasury and this is the
reply General Andrews is reported to
have made:
1t is the duty of the coast guard to
stop rum running. The coast guard
is empowered by law to stop all YES
sells of all descriptions if it has any
suspicion they are violating the law.
That they have done for hundred
years. am extremely sorry if some
of the occupants of the pleasure boats
on the Atlantic coast have been in
convenienced or annoyed, but the
steps we have taken to stop rum run
ming are absolutely necessary and we
can not modify them.
There are limits apparently to even a
United States Senator when it comes to
enforcing the law.

DISCREPANCIES SOCIETY

Attorney General John 6. Sargent in an
address at the 125th commencement of
Middlebury College, Vermont, declared
that he who fouts law because he dis
approves of it joins the forces of disorder
and weakens the fiber of organized soci-
ETY.. The great problem of the nation to-
day, he said, is that of self-control and
the proper observance of the rights of
others. For anyone to say said Mr..
Sargent, that because he does not ap-
prove of particular law he will hout it
and disregard it is mischievous in the
highest degree. He increases the
burden OF taxation for the enforcement of
law. He weal<ens the fiber of organized
society"

The General Synod of the Reformed
Church in America in session at Asbury
Park sent an appeal to the Protestant
churches of England and Scotland re-
questing them openly to condemn the ex-
portation of Intoxicating liquors to the
United States. The aggressive campaign
of the United States against rum running

the greater the change from former saloon
conditions, the more valuable the proper
ty is.
More People Given Employment
Careful inquiry" says the statement,
Shows that before the coming of ma
tional prohibition the average saloon en-
ployed two persons. Investigations dis
close that new business concerns which
have replaced saloons employ minimum
average of 81 to AZ persons. Under the
saloon regime New York in 1913 would
have employed 10000 persons in saloons.
Under the new order between 81, 600 and
$4,000 are selling merchandise in the
places where liquor formerly was sold
THE establishments which have sup
planted saloons and liquor stores show a
variety of more than 200 stores. For in
stance, there are SIS places selling new
shoes and 200 places selling second hand
shoes; furniture stores number 81 cloth
ing is manufactured i'll $50 former saloons;
restaurants take 10 rooms; victrolas and
radio equipment occupy 200 rooms; there
diS ii hNC-dnu-lclS III pldCeS WHc1c
emptying schooners once was the princi-
pal occupation; photo studios and stores
supplying Photographic needs occupy 200
rooms which sheltered bars i'll wet days;
furs, gowns, haberdashery, hats, bathing
suits, underwear, millinery, and the like
take Up several hundred; $50 such rooms
are given to the sale of 'vermin extermi-
majors, where once was sold merchandise
that made its drinkers see all sorts of ami
NAL life if they drank too much of the
merchandise. Newspapers occupy 1873 of
the rooms, and brokers have found it
profitable to sell bail bonds in 10 places.
That prohibition would vacate many
stores has been found to be without foun-
dation, as less than ! per cent of the
properties surveyed were empty, and half
of the empty ones were unoccupied be-
cause of alterations going on in them.
The charge coming from sources un-
doubtedly interested in decrying prohibi-
ton, that SO many of the new establish
ments that have replaced saloons are sell
ing booze under cover does not deserve
the attention we have been led to believe
II did. More than half the new places are
owned by and operated by firms and indi-
Viduals which were in no manner associa-
ted with businesses which formerly occu-
pied the places

TEMPERANCE DAY" IN SWEDEN
Ascension Day has Been Designated
as National Temperance Day
in Sweden
David Ostlund, Special Correspondent

(David Ostlund, Special Correspondent
American Issue, Oslo, Norway
Ascension Day, religious holiday COM
ing on May p, will from now on be tenn
perance day in Sweden On Ascension
Day this year there were held 500 mass
meetings all over Sweden where the best
available speakers spoke on the dry move
ment. In Stockholm five big meetings
were held where among others the Prime
Minister and two other members OF the
government spoke to great crowds.
Special interest was attached to the adj
dress of the chief of government, Hon.
Sanders, who is memt er OF the Good
Templars. In his address, in giving
remarkable recognition of the Templar
movement and what it had done for the
development of high culture in Sweden,
he said: This movement has in very
commendable way helped to bring us
where we stand today as a cultured and
respected nation" Referring to the more
direct object of the temperance move
ment, the Prime Minister said:
In regard to the use of alcohol,
sound and sane reasoning says that
even though the scientific argument is
not taken into consideration, the Dor
der of liberty is passed by long way
by those who indulge in intoxicants,
often bringing destruction to those
who do not use alcohol as we'll as
those who do. It is not merely a
private affair of the drinker Sober
men must pay for institutions for the
care of paupers and criminals and
physically unft-victims of the Alec
hol habit. Only absence of under
standing of all social counter effects
can lead men to speak of individual
sovereignty. In the name of human
responsibility we must bring to an
end this process of alcohol poisoning
of the human race
The other two members of the Swed-
ish government were Hon. Ernest Wig
fors and Minister of Agriculture. Hon.
Sven Linders. They both clearly pre-
scented the program of the drys The
meetings were given wide publicity by
the press. The address of Mr.. Sanders
was radio-broadcasted, thereby enabling
people outside of Sweden to hear him

new YORK REAL ESTATE VALUE VASTLY INCREASED
mer Saloon Real Estate Has Been Altered Legitimate
poes Has Increased in Value and Given Employment
Workers. Prohibition Has Brought Remarkable Results

Prohibition in New York City is di-
rectly responsible for an unprecedented
wave of prosperity which reaches every
business concern however remote it may
have been Or may be from the former 1io-
uor traffic. This is the contention of
Robert Everett Corradini, research secre-
tary of the World League Against Alco-
holism, in survey of Manhattan, made
IN 1924 and just completed.
Value of Former Saloon Property
Increases
The value of former saloon real estate
which has been altered for legitimate pur-
poses has increased to such an unprece-
denied degree that it not only has offset
any loss to the city government from
revenue, but shows undoubtedly the most
fruitful source of revenue" the survey
statement declares.
I'm New York City, where administra-
tions borrow to the very limit of credit,
prohibition has been a veritable life
saver. The financial benefits accruing to
the community from this law are con-
tingent upon the degree of enforcement
by the local, as we'll as by the federal au-
thorities.
The changes have all been for the bet
ter; turning saloons into new stores has
given employment to workers and created
demand for considerable quantities of
building material. The new stores have
added invariably to the atmosphere of the
community. The money which no longer
goes into the till of the liquor trade has
found ready and willing recipients in the
many shops which have supp1anted the
saloons, and which sell necessities and
1uxuries for the home. Especially in the
poorer sections there is new interest
shown by the families in furnishing their
homes. This improvement tends to keep
the men at home and SO to create new
interest in the family
Stores Supp,ant Saloons
Mr.. Corradini declares he found that
1888 new stores, selling necessities, COM
forts and luxuries, had taken the places of
the 2,263 saloons, 391 liquor stores and
100 liquor-selling drugstores of 1910,
while other buildings were in process of
alteration.
Mr.. Corradin found $40 places which,
SO far as outward appearance is con-
cerned, were unchanged from the old sa-
loon days, most of which doubtless still
sell some liquor. He found 81 places OPP
Grated as saloons and restaurants COM
bined, and IS places that are partly sa-
looms, while the drugstores, good and bad,
have dwindled to las.
Seventeen entirely new buildings were
erected i'll 1902 on former saloon sites.
at total cost of $14,633, 500, or an aver
age of $860794. Extensive alterations
have been made in 1902 former saloons,
TO fit them for new business. Many others
are in process of alteration, and a total of
90 new structures have been built
His figures obtained from taxing au-
thorities of New York, Mr.. Corradini
points out that there was an average in
crease in assessments of improved realty
in Manhattan from 1916 to 1923, of 21.4
