moral leaders whose instincts of human
brotherhood were admired and emulated.
The get-rich-at-any-pr people were left
to themselves, unenvied, unadmired, un-
able to attain the social recognition they
had hoped their wealth would secure
Some such evolution would seem to be
the necessary outcome of the financial OPP
erations here described, with profits run
ming into six and eight figures. Here are
some of the writer's statements
Attracted by the immense profits made
from the operation of breweries, former
clergymen, lawyers, manufacturers, mer-
chants, and others of equal social stand
ing are investing in the brewing industry.
In one instance the controlling interest is
held by an ex-clergyman. In two years
this brewery was converted from a losing
venture into great financial success and
each month finds the profits growing
greater.
Canada's most profitable industry today
IS the manufacture of the poisonous liq-
uor which is poured into the United
States. Fortunes are made over night.
If the Eighteenth Amendment remains
intact until 1880 some of the leading liq-
uor manufacturers of Canada will be
worth billions instead of millions of
dollars.

ARRESTS FOR INTERROGATION FEWER In 1924
Figures Covering Compiled by World
League Against Alcoholism; Show Big
DRINKS Arrested Dry License Years

There is a marked decrease in the
number of arrests for intoxicaton for the
fiscal year 1924 over the years of 1928 and
1922. The Research Department of the
World League Against Alcoholism has
issued figures from the New York City
office covering reports on 129 cities in 80
states. These cities have an aggregate
population of over 23,00O,0OO Arrests for
intoxication during 1924 were 1874 per
1000 population. In 1923 the arrests for
intoxication per 1000 population were
ia. For 1922 they were 1873, and for
1921, 11.3.
In the 129 cities which have reported
up to June %, 1925, are to be found al
most all of the large cities of the country
with the exception of Chicago. Figures
on Chicago are unavailable because Chi
cago reports drunkenness under the gen
eral head of disorderly conduct, which in
cludes other offenses besides drunkenness.
The survey includes Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Denver, New Haven, Atlanta,
Des Moines, Louisville, Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Worcester, Detroit, Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Omaha, Paterson, Trenton, New
York, Buffalo, Albany, Yonkers, Cleve-
land, Cincinnati Toledo, Columbus,
Akron, Dayton, Youngstown, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburgh, Providence, Seattle,

Current History, June, 1929
CANADA REAPING A HARVEST
FROM THE LIQUOR BUSINESS
By William ]. McNulty

The future historian may write of the
era beginning with 1920, that an acid test
of the moral development of civilization
was offered when an awakened social con-
seriousness began to revolt from having
any part in sanctioning the traffic in men
tally and morally degrading pleasure
poisons; that for time after that senti-
ment was expressed in prohbitory laws,
the worship of the almighty dollar, of
which Americans had been charged, broke
out in mad scramble among the crude1y
selfish to secure as many of those dollars
as possible by selling the forbidden poi
sons to their thoughtless and misguided
fellowmen. After the test was over, a
new aristocracy arose, an aristocracy of

the cities ends in May, or even June. 1925.
AS the additional reports will be from
smaller cities, which generally make
better showing for sobriety, it is very
probable that the reports for 1924 will
approximate the figures for 1921.
1t will be noted that during no year
under the prohibition regime has the num-
Der of arrests per thousand population
reached the number recorded in any wet
or license year. The smallest number of
arrests is recorded for the first year of
prohibition, with gradual increase up to
1923, and now it is gratifying to observe
that the number is again decreasing. APP
parently the grip of the bootleggers is be-
ing broken.

MERELY BOOTLEG TRANSACTION
Chicago Federal Judge Fails to be-
Moved by Clever Plea in
Liquor Case
Liquor Case

Federal Judge Wilkerson of Chicago on
July ordered the destruction of $4,000
worth OF liquor over which litigation has
been going on for some time between the
government and Robert J. Mulcahy, ex-
alderman of Chicago, and Harry S.
Tansey.
The litigation started last January when
the government seized l,722 cases of as
sorted liquor in warehouse in Chicago.
Mulcahy was found not guilty by Jury
on charge of violating the prohibition
law. Meanwhile Tansey filed an inter
vening petition claiming that he had lien
on the liquor inasmuch as Mulcahy owed
him SOS, 000-thc value of the lquor-on
note. The liquor, Tansey said, was to
be sold to wholesale druggists in legiti-
mate manner. Judge Wilkerson in effect
held that the whole transaction was a
bootleg transaction.
Assistant United States District Attor-
neys ]. L. Byrne and Jacob l. Grossman
who prosecuted the case, hailed the de-
ciSlon as one of the most distinct victories
in bootleg liquor cases. The destruction
of the liquor will be held up for some
time pending an appeal to a higher court.

$500 FEDERAL COURT CASES

According to Washington dispatches,
more than $4,000 liquor prosecutions were
on the dockets of the federal courts of
the country on June 80 This is accord
ing to the officials of the Department of
Justice. A total of $1,000 liquor cases
were instituted in federal courts within
the first ten months of the year which
ended June so.

(The Outlook, June "a, 1925
DRINKING IN THE COLLEGES
By Ernest w. Vaudeville

The most hopeful part Of Mr. Mande-
ville's study of college drinking is that
the worst conditions are at the smaller
colleges, where fraternity life is more of
feature than at the larger colleges, also
that at college dances,
=. For the most part the worst of the
open drinking at the larger affairs has
been checked. It is now at the smaller
"house dances where things are still
wide open. Now that the larger affairs
have been more or less cleaned up, it is
only fair to add that the smaller dances
will perhaps come in for reform before
long. There are indications which point
to improving conditions.
And the conclusion is,
That the youth of our colleges will af-
ter time get over the present feeling of
smartness at breaking the prohibition law
and turn their attention to something else
is quite possible. At least let us hope so.
Another consideration which makes
Mr.. Mandeville's very black picture less
depressing than it would otherwise be, is
that it does not, and does not undertake
to furnish information as to the extent
OF the conditions which he describes A
better balance of the situation can be OBJ
tanned from a statement by Harry S.
Warner, general secretary of the Inter
collegiate Prohibition Association, who is
in constant touch with college life, pub
lished in the intercollegiate Statesman in
May, last year C024). He said:
The students of 1924 are not, as certain
superficial observers sometimes say, in
clined to drink more than students of
earlier years, or to delight in breaking
the prohibition law or to favor its modi-
fcation to permit the sale of light wine
and beer. Such drinking as is found, and
there is some of it, is spectacular and ex-
ceptional, prompted by spirit of adven-
ture, and so is of overwhelming news
value. 1t gains exceptional publicity be-
cause it is exceptional in character and
if taken alone seriously misrepresents the
student life of today.
In the May number of the same jour
nal this year Qo25). Mr.. Warner. in An

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

article on Changing Student Customs"
quotes the representative of book COM
pany that constantly reaches all colleges
everywhere for purely business purposes,
who says:
Boozing is decidedly not popular on the
college campus today. 1t is distinctly not
the thing to do. College sentiment is
against it. In many universities it is en-
phatically taboo, not because the faculty
forbids it, but because student bodies
themselves won't have it
And the Dean of Men at the Univer-
sity of West Virginia says:
My observation was Is years ago that
it was the exceptional student who did
not take a drink now and then. Today
conditions are reversed, and it is the ex-
ceptional student who drinks. The few
who break over cause the talk.
; More significant still, as indicating that
the conditions Mr.. Vaudeville describes
are exceptional, and not by any means
representative, is another article in the
same number of this journal (now The
International Student), made up of let
ters from college presidents all over the
country, III answer to request for their
opinion as to the progress of prohibition.
One says that drinking among the stu
dents of his university has become ex-
tremely unpopular and much less COM
mon. Another says he has not seen as
many drunken students or as much
drinking IN three years since prohibition
as he saw before at one commencement
in one of our larger universities Another
contrasts the former drinking in saloons
with the present drinking in fraternity
houses, automobile parties, ETC., and con-
siders conditions nevertheless greatly inn
proved over that of saloon days
At an eastern college where the whole
question of conduct is in the hands Of a
student government association the men
ARE definitely set against drinking and
simply will not tolerate it in their midst"
says the dean. Other presidents speaking
in similar vein say: "No school in the
state would tolerate drinking" 1--WE have
scarcely any problem at all in connec-
ton with drinking among Students There
is practically no drinking whatever" ct
is clear to me that the attitude of the
student body with which I am familiar
more and more discredits drink" where
as there was considerable drinking among
the students previous to the passage of
this law, have heard but one or two in
stances of student drinking at all during
the past four years when I have been
president of the college"
