Tangle-Foot Correspondence

Arthur Evans, special correspondent to the Chicago
Tribune and other wet newspapers, is sojournng
Canada and writing series of articles prasing the
liquor license system in vogue i'll the various provinces.
Mr. Evans apparently has himself to the task of
proving that booze sold in government saloons does
produce drunkenness and all the attendant evils Occa-
sonally he gets little tangled in his arguments. For
instance, read the following from his Montreal story.
He is speaking of American visitors Montreal He
says:
Many OF them the minute they strike town dash
the street into the government liquor shop
and buy bottle and lug il openly to their rooms.
The beboys kept busy rushing up pitchers of ice
and bottles of charged water. 1t is rude awaken
ing to many to learn that under Nolsead they have
lost their drinking form that most OF them appear
to have adjusted themselves to a reduced capacity
This is indeed remarkable admission of the effective
of the Nolstead law though it is direct
tradction of the general OF Mr. Evans articles
in this unguarded moment he compliments the law by
declaring that snder it many have lost their od drink
ing FORM. In other words, the Vorstead law is promo

Bootleg Liquor and Bootleg Aliens

ground that aliens being bootlegged into this

this doctrineat the club in the Pullman smoker, in the
hotel lobby in every social gathering He would
become object of ridcue.
And yet that is exactly what doing with
reference to the prohibition enforcement problem They
solemny declare that because booteggng of liquor has
not been completely suppressed the law should be
peaed and somehow other their silly talk does not
bring the ridicule them should If the friends of
such booze advocate do agree they least do
laugh at the argument And yet there is much merit
in advocating the repeal of the immigration law because
OF bootleggng of aliens into the United States there
in advocating the repeal of the prohibition law because
liquor is being smuggled into the country.
The fact is, the government is having much diff
Guilty preventing smuggers of aliens from successfully
carrying out their enterprises in uppressing
smugglers
Secretary of Labor Davis believes that there are
million people in the United States who were "boo-
legged into the country. Any form of smuggling is
unlawful and should be punished
Bootlegging of foreigners and booze should be con-
demned with equal emphasis.

Don't Try to Put Out Fire With Gasoline

Russia's production of vodka tripled last year and
yielded the soviet government the largest revenues in its
history says Moscow Associated Press dispatch of
May q.
An increased revenue however, the only result
of the governments restoration of the vodka tra
nc. The dispatch says that the government en-
gagged i'll constant battle against home brewers who,
not content with the present 80 per alcohol govern
ment product make their own beverage of 90 to 90
cent strength During the last year more than 300
600 Illicit stills conhscated and the owners fined
imprisoned deported Now the government purposes
combating this home dislling business by increasing
the strength of vodka produced by national dstieries
to an alcoholic content of 40 cent which is only
per cent below its pre-war strength
Those who fauousy imagine that raising the alcoholic
content of beverages will satisfy the vets and end the
liquor traffic, ought to get lesson from Russa's es-
perience. Thirty per cent alcohol beverage is not salts
factory to the brewers hence home distlleres Does
the government imagine that 40 per government
made beverage will stop the home dstery product of
90 to 90 per strength any than the 80 per cent
government product stamped home distilling?
There isn't much in trying put out fire with
gasoline in trying to the alcohol habit by fo-
terng it.

Evidence of Less Drunkenness

Wet newspapers and wet magazines printing many
stories by special writer's the effect that drunkenness
has increased under prohibition Most of these stories
take, the form of reports of special Investigations in
lected communities They universally alike in one
respectfully invariably fail be specific in the
of and drinking places.
Most cities keep record of drunkenness arrests and
these records show marked decrease in drunkenness
since prohibition became operative
Aside from the records there is another valuable bit of
evidence that in the language of the Chrcago News has
been definitely established viz there is longer need
for hospitals devoted exclusively alcoholics Prob
ton has put drink establishments of business in

Would Make Streets Bootleggers Safety Zones

The shallow thinking of some newspaper editors on
the subject of prohibition law enforcement was revealed
recently in their discussion of distressing Washington
accident.
bootleggers' automobile pursued by police car
through the Washington city collded with an
other CAR crushing to death woman passenger Some
of the newspapers of the country including one of
the Washington dailies fixed the blame for this death
upon the pursuing officers. The coroners jury however
who upon the after four minutes deliberaton
fixed the death where ii rightly belonged upon the boot
leggers
II the wet editors ideas upon this subject were put
into effect, all fleeing bootegger would have to do to
escape the officers of the law would to steer his car
into city street step the gas and police officer
would dare pursue.
Strange how some newspapers are SO quick to con-
denim officers who making an effort to enforce the
law and never have word of for the law yo-
lator.
