Mrs. Mary Brown

wise and decent for writer's who know
nothing of this state to learn some
thing of it before they proceed to
burlesque the facts? Doesn't it argue
ignorance for the New York World
and other papers in the East to pub
lish stuff about Arkansas that Arkan-
sans, and all who have visited the
state, know is an outrage upon the
truth? Wouldn't it add to our re-
gard for the East if the East should
stop advertising its provincialism by
the publication of such stuff?
One of the best men on the New
York World has recently returned to
that paper after spending a year in
Arkansas. He could write an article
about this state that would open the
eyes of Fasteners and particularly
the editorial writer's of the New York
World. He knows how Arkansas was
wasted during the destructive years
of the Civil War. He learned how Ar
kansas was held back by the awful
and brutal Reconstruction era. He
knows what Arkansas has done and is
doing for the education of her people.
And he knows the average American
does not think of Arkansas in terms
of Gap Johnson and his NANCY hounds,
because he knows the average Ameri-
can knows something of his country

annual report Of the Internal Revenue
bureau showed that the cost of federal
prohibition enforcement under its jurls-
diction for the ~ months ended last
June 30 was $9,O13,OOO
A third agency, the Department OF
Research and Education of the Federal
Council of Churches, in a report as
serted that prohibition had broken the
strangle hold of the saloon on Amerl-
can politics, although confirming the
reports of an increase i'm crime since
liquor was Outlawed in 1920.
Government prisoners at the three
federal prisons at Atlanta, Leaven-
worth and McNeils Island increased
from 3,011 five years ago to 5,249, the
Department of Justice said. The num-
ber sentenced this year for breaking
the liquor laws was 647.
The expenditure of $9,O13000 by the
Internal Revenue Bureau was offset
by the governments profit of taxes
on distilled spirits, which brought in
$25, 5,9O2,S2O through the same bureau.
This revenue figure, however, was a
decrease of $1,677 $50 from the 1924
figure.
The Federal Council of Churches
survey, the third installment Of which
was given out, reported that crime in
general had increased and that arrests
for intOxication have increased from
43 per 1000 population in 1920 to 81 in
1924. The arrests in 1923 were 81 for
each 1000 persons. These figures were
made from a survey of 1S5 cities of
the country. The report pointed out
that a postwar increase in crime would
be expected. The criminal situation in
the United States so far as crimes of
violence are concerned is worse than
i'm any other civilized country, the re-
port added.

the young in some localities; that the
law is widely violated; that the boot
logger is getting rich; that many old
soaks have been sent to an early if not
untimely grave; that the individual
liberty has been restrained and hypo-
cricy increased. But we must remem-
Der that every great reform has been
won only after many years Of effort
and with some temporary, if not per-
losses"
The automobile, not the hip flask,
is responsible for drinking among
young people, the report says.
The statement that successful en-
forcement of prohibition would tend
to increase the use of drugs was fatty
denied. The physiology of alcoholism
is quite different from that of drug
addiction, it was said.
