BETTER UNDER COOPERATION
Davis Points Out to Al Smith How
State and Nation Work in
Enforcement

Superintendent A. ]. Davis of the Anti
an open letter to Governor Smith, to be
delivered by special delivery on Christ
mas day, appealing to him to advocate
the passage of state prohibition enforce
ment law and to pledge .hmself to sign
such law when put before him.
In this letter, Superintendent Davis
strikingly contrasts the difference between
prohibition enforced with the cooperation
of the state government and prohibition
whose enforcement depends entirely
within the state upon the federal govern
ment.
Mr.. Davis says:
Before you affixed your signature
to the repeal of this law, it was point
ed out to you that the people of the
state would pay the penalty of this
act in increased death, disease,
crime and restitution. This was not
mere prophecy, it was foregone
conclusion based on accumulated
scientific knowledge of the effects of
alcohol legal or illegal, on the hui
man system.
During the past week, official de-
partments in the state have published
figures proving that increased deaths,
accidents and untold human suffer-
ing are directly due to the repeal of
this law.
In the first three weeks of Deem
Der, Bellevue Hospital reported 81
deaths from alcoholism. The psyche
pathic ward, which was reported
closed by prohibition, is now reported
full of victims of liquor who, for the
most part are from among the ranks
of the poor and lowly.
The number of deaths from alco-
holism in New York City for 1924
as published by the health depart
ment, is $50 as compared with 307
last year. This number is greater
than that of any year since prohibi-
ton and almost as large as in pre-
prohibition years.

ANOTHER INDIAN STATE DRY
Legislative Council in Pudukota
Sets Up Prohibition as First
of It's Acts

AHOlHcI 1Huldl independent STATE mas
"gone dry" The newly constituted Leg
islative Council of Pudukota, a state in
Madras, South India, has declared for
prohibition by vote of % to 10. This
legislative council was only recently set
up, sort of an experiment in democratic
government, and about the first thing the
Council did was to vote in dry law.
The measure was opposed by the gov
crnnent's excise officer and also by the
Dewan, or prime minister, who is also
the president of the Council. But the
Dewan promised to put the new law into
effect provided the Council would pro-
vide other revenues to take the place of
the liquor revenue.
This Independent state has as its head
His Highness, Sri Brihadamba Das, Sir
Marthanda Bharava Tondiman Badahur,
G. c. I. E., the eighth prince of the pres
ent dynasty, but the administration is in
the hands of regent who set up the leg
islative assembly.
The drink shops have also been cleared
out of another district in Madras Presi-
dcncy. On April l, the government set
up prohibition law among the Badagas,
a hill tribe of the Nilgiris country. The
Badagas themselves were the prime NOV
ers in the dry law. They did not drink
much anyhow and the Badagas as
whole are strongly dry in sentiment.
When "Pussyfoot" Johnson was at
Erode, two years ago, a delegation of
about twenty of these Nilgiris people
journeyed all night through the hills to
greet him and consult with him as to how
best to work for dry law. AS result,
these hill people established little dry
newspaper to give voice to their wishes
for a dry law and lively agitation re-
suited. In consequence of this pressure,
the Madras government has given them
the prohibition law that they were clam
oring for AS an added support to the
new prohibition law, the Badaga casts
have made drinking "caste offense,"
whereby anybody who violates the dry
law are "outcasted" and anybody who
knows anything about being "outcasted"
in India knows what that means To be
"outcasted' means that nobody will have
anything whatever to do with him on
pain of themselves being "outcasted"
Nobody will speak to him, sell him any
thing, give him anything and will not
touch anything that he has touched.
His ostracism becomes complete.
Princess DEGREES Drouth
Some months ago, the RAM Sabha or
ruling princess of the Jasden state
adopted prohibition in her state, one of
the small states of the Kathiwar.
Baroda, one of the most enlightened of
the Indian states, has also recently taken
the first prohibition step. When PUSSY
foot" ohnson, on his Indian tour, visited
Baroda, the Gaekwar was travelling in
Europe, but the government made John
son Estate guest setting apart the gov
eminent "guest house" for his entertain
ment. A mass meeting was gotten up
in the principal theater for the Yankee,
which was presided over by the Dewan or
Prime Minister and most of the ministers
of the government were on the stage.

The Greencastle five got OFF to a

with knowledge of what they were
saying-others without. But that
made no difference in the arguments.
Plenty Of Arguments
Sport and basketball is something
on which every one is sure he has
the latest dope. All are experts.
They have convinced themselves at
any rate. This morning every one
was trying to convince every one
else.
Manual rOOters said Manual
woud win. Shortridge said the
same, Technical, ditto. And so
on down the line. Don't for
minute think the county flves
considered themselves out of the
running.
A lot Of those differences of opin-
ion will be settled by Saturday night.
In fact, only one team In each CEN
ter, sixty-four in all, will have much
to say. And the sectional winp<s'
rooters will have to wait untiN ve
regionals for further augmentation.
The reglonals are scheduled at eight
centers on March IA.
Then sixteen teams come to In
dianapolis to decide the State cham
pion on March 90 and 81. Then it's
all over till another year. And the
arguments can start all over.
The local tourney opened at
a. m, with Technical meeting
Lawrence. 1t was the largest
school against one of the small
est. Tech rOOters filed plenty of
bleacher seats and yelled until
their voices were husky. Three
contests made up the card this
morning, four this afternoon and
two tonight.
Shortridge was the favorite in the
Indianapolis center, but the fans
conceded that anything might
happen"

on, during the last ten minutes Of
play, Franklin counted but one more
point, that on a foul toss by vandi-
vier. Stuart, Ward. Wilson and
Struck counted from the field, the
last basket for De Paw being a SEN
sational heave from far out by Ward.
Defense Alright
The De PAW defense in the Sec
ond period was almost alright, the
GriZmen being held at a safe dis
lance. When Franklin did break
through for shots, the breaks were
against them and the best they could
get were 'leaners." Vandivier and
Cant were outstanding for the 10
calls, the former showing deadly aim
on the foul line. For De PAW, Ward
and Hirt deserve mention, the latter
jumping center and dropping back.
as he did in the Butler game. He
proved a stone wall under the basket
and was seldom beaten on the tip.
