Sheep and Lambs Steady

Trading in the sheep and lamb
division of the Exchange progressed
along steady lines and the run of
material estimated at 100 cleared the
pens at steady prices. Sheep brought
S507 and choice lambs sold from
$11 to SIS.
The calf market opened early with
a good tone and the steady prices
seen at the outset continued through
the session. The run OF veals,
estimated at 800. cleared the pens at
prices ranging from $3.50 to S14. A
few Of the very best veals went out
at $14.50, but the bulk of the trans
actions were made on a lower scale
of prices.

General Butler kept right on and soon
the second phase developed:
After few months had gone by Phil
adelphia society ostracized the Buffers.
:. Society folks, like underworld
folks, had discovered at last that Butler
was in earnest; they resolved that he
would not make a good guest when the
cocktails were passed and when cham
payne came up from the cellar.
Wherefore life became uncomfortable
for Butler in every direction which it al
ways is, except for certain high compen-
sations. with all fighters.
To be an enemy of Butler meant, in eff
feet. to be friend of crooks, bootleggers
and out-and-out criminals from whom
Philadelphia has suffered a reign of ter
ror.
The reason why crooks were not afraid
of Butler is to be told in the next issue.
We shall evidently see in these articles
one cause of our reputed 1awlessness in
operation. namely, permitting an oligar-
civ high or low, to hold the reins of
government.

WHY CRIMINALS ARE NOT
AFRAID
By William G. Shepherd


This is a revelation of the unison be-
tween crooks and thugs and so-callcd
high society" which sometimes blocks
the wheels of law enforcement One
phase of it is illustrated by dialogue in
Mayor Hendricks office, PHILADELPHIA be-
tween the mayor, two Outraged real es-
tate owners who had been hard hit by
his (Gen. Butler's) closing of booze-sell-
ing restaurants" and Gen. Butler him
self.
Its all right to smash at the little ten
thousand-dollar places" one of the gen
tlemen argued to Butler, in the presence
of the mayor, "but we've got hundreds of
thousands of dollars tied up in our place."
Since when, in Gods name" asked the
amazed marine, 'has COMMUNICATIONS
sand-dollar crime been less than a ten
thousand-doilar one?"
Mayor Kendriclz spoke up.
"You see, gentlemen" he said, waving
his hand, cts just as told you: can't
do anything with him."
One Of the real estate men lost his self
control.
THAT man." he said, pointing to But
Ter, who stood in his uniform with four
rows of military decorations on his breast,
including two designating Congressional
Medals, 'has done more harm to this city
than any five thousand men,"
eff you feel my efforts THAT hard"
said Butler, I'm encouraged and compN-
mented."

AN ALLY OF THE VETS
Former Crown Prince of Germany Sug-
gests Beer Gardens for tie United
States

The vets of the United States have an
ally in the former Crown Prince friedrich
of Germany. He is the son of the late
kaiser and is quoted as saying:
Heaven spare us from prohibition!
Look at Americal Whittier has it led
in the countries which have attempted
it? To smuggling, destruction of
commerce, and to the dissemination of
immortality. Let the people drink
sensible amount of alcohol and let
them do it openly.
He also suggests to America the Ger
man beer garden as a substitute for prohi-
bition. 1t will now be in order for the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, the Moderation League, or
some one of the wet societies, to arrange
for this Hohenzollern to tour America in
the interest Of beer and the brewers.

ARRESTS FOR DRUNKENNESS

The Survey" of arrests for drunken
ness made by the Moderation League is
reviewed, with the very sensible comment
that the exact meaning of arrests for
drunkenness" differs very greatly in diff
ferent localities and from year to year.
The question is also raised as to the
propriety of calling the years under the
Volstead Act bone dry" since prohibi-
ton has not yet been strictly enforced.

WHAT The CURRENT MAGAZINES ARE SAYING ABOUT
PROHIBITION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
(Reviewed by Emma L. Transeau)

The churches can do more than they
have done to complete this prohibition
effort which the churches themselves be-
gan and have put into law, joined in the
final years by industrial influences. If
prohibition is not enforced the fault will
not be with the law.

tory enactment of law without a continu-
Gus program of education. The habits.
traditions, customs, and fallacies of a
people, deeply rooted through three cen
turtles of cultivation, cannot be eradicated
merely by the passage of Legislation. =.
The agencies of the church, we believe,
have clear and definite duty today to
take up and carry on the neglected task
of education for the habit of total absti-
nence from the beverage use of all intoxi-
cants. We cannot have a sober and law
abiding nation if we compromise with or
condone in any degree drinking habits.
Leaders and educators must get back to
fundamentals in earnest back to precept
ton, in home and school and church,
firmly to establish the principle and the
habits of total abstinence.
In the same number of the Congrega-
tionalist, the Western editor comments
on the recent Anti Saloon League con-
vention in Chicago. 1t demonstrated, he
thought, that people were mistaken who
thought the churches were NO longer
loyal to the League.
Taking this convention as basis of
judgment, one can readily believe that
the rank and file of our church people
still believe in the Anti-Saloon League
and they are especially loyal to its atti-
tude of no compromise with the liquor
modification of %I,a II
stead Act.
This writer notes:
The difference between the methods
that the League uses in handling Stats
tics and that used by Mr.. johnson of the
Federal Council was made evident in the
sessions. The latter took the statistics of
five years and looking at them concluded
that prohibition was in very bad way.
The leaders of the Anti-Saloon League
who attended the convention in Chicago
are seasoned campaigners against the liq-
uor traffic Some of them have been on
the job since the organization of the
League. They judge progress by the
distance they have come. E. The Anti
Saloon League judges that it is making
progress because it takes long view of
the situation.
Another Western contribution is from
Mr.. Herbert C. Herring, who attended
a meeting of the Chicago Forum adj
dressed by Mr.. Ernest Johnson and who
felt that Mr. Johnsons straightforward
ness in stating facts, as he sees them,
'has done more to convince the man out
side of the honesty of the church than al
most any other man on the scene" Gle
was listened to because he did not give
the air of being out to prove something"

lating to the misinterpretatiou given the
report of its research department. Parts
of the Councils statement are cited,

First of all the committee would emf

strong conviction that the policy of pro-
hibition is the deliberate and firmly es-
tablished policy of this nation, that this
policy has not failed, but, on the contrary.

justify its adoption, that the liquor traffic

RUSSIA RETURNS TO VODKA

NOO0la ~ lNlN0 ~ YUMA
Pictures. verbal and graphic, of scenes
attending the resumption OF government
sale of vodka agree in making the policy
a truly warning example to the rest of
the world
The streets were filled with brawling
crowds, it seems, which taxed the city's
ambulances and hospitals to their fullest
capacity. :.
Nor were conditions better in provin-
cial cities where one saw zig-zagging fig-
ures, with arms boldly cutting the air in
most unexpected directions, accompanied
by a torrent of profanity and gusts of
vodka breath. ..
On the first day of the sale of vodka
long lines of people stood in front of the
liquor stores of Moscow, while toward
evening all the cells and even the cor
ridors of the police station were packed
to capacity with drunken persons, includ-
ing a number of women.
The excuses offered-they cannot be
called reasons-for the return of vodka,
are that the soviet government needed
the money to be obtained from a revenue
on drink and that il was better to give
the people pure" liquors az per cent al
coholic strength than that they continue
to consume their own home brews. Il IS
a question how far the press will dare to
report the consequences of this return to
vodka drinking without danger of perse-
cution from the Soviet government. One,
the Pravda, is recorded as making a faint
protest:
@Such way of celebrating the restora-
ton of vodka must be abandoned once
and for all by the Soviet press. What
will millions of workers and peasants
tllink when they find these idiotic pane
gyrics of vodka in our newspapers, which
they read with respect and considera-
ton"

Gus suburban churches. In many Of

AGED SP|R|TUALIST
MYSTER|0USLY SLAIN
BY Universal Service.


PITTSBURGH, Dec. 26.-Some-
time before dawn Christmas someone
entered the home Of Mrs. Jennie Al
berts, q 74year-old spiritualist, ran
sacked her private papers, and then
killed her.
The crime was discovered after
stains had seeped under the door into
the hallway. Police say that the
aged woman made q desperate fight
for life, judging from the manner in
which her clothing was torn before
the breath Of life was beaten out Of
her.
Although the woman was worth
several hundred thousand dollars, it
Is believed that the possession of some
secret document, and not mere loot,
was the motive for the crime.
Hundreds Of papers, some dealing
with esoteric subjects, were scattered
over the room, and in one corner q
pile Of torn documents were found.
These are being pieced together, and
the police believe they may give clue
to the murderer.
A woman roomer in the house was
taken into custody, but police believe
that members of the spiritualist's cult
may throw light on the mystery.

IRELAND SERIOUSLY
CONSIDERS POLICY
s OF BUILDING NAVY

DUBLIN, Dec. 26.-The question
Of whether or not the Irish Free State
will become q naval power next year
is being actively discussed here.
Under the terms Of the Anglo-lrish
treaty the government Of the Free
State can, after five years, take over
the patroling and protection OF the
Irish coast If Il SO desires.
The treaty was signed on December
&, 1921. President Cosgrave, there
fore, can, II be 30 desires, equip a
navy for protection purposes at the
end Of 1926.
Recently officers Of the high COM
mand visited various places along the
south coast of Ireland in connection
with the idea of establishing bases,
depots, etc.. If the Free State should
desire TO blossom out into a naval
powr with a navy of its own, but
it is understood that nothing has been
decided.
Public opinion, at any rate, Is en-
tirely against the formation OF navy
unit until the present high taxation
and high cest Of living has been re-
duced.
