So far as information coming to the Of

in the city on Christmas day. There was,
therefore, apparently little illicit booze
ahoat about the city. Last year on Christ

THE FIRST FIVE YEARS

These are the five most impor-
tant things done by prohibition
during the first five years:
KEPT RIGA BAL
ANCED. The after-t he-war reac-
ton combined with general relaxa-
ton of discipline would have filled
the past five years with the custo-
mary postwar tragedies of riotous
living if the legalized liquor traffic
had not been eliminated.
INCREASED RESPECT FOR
LAW. Americas courage in le-
ga1ly branding the liquor traffic as
an evil and fixing punishments for
those who carry it on has aroused
worldwide admiration for and in
creased confidence in the righteous
purposes of our government. Who
would respect the Ten Command
ments if they excused the INSIDE
meanors of popular or powerful
transgressors?
TURNED THE It'd E
AGAINST DRINK. By law the
average Americans environment
has been changed so that now it is
harder to get drunk and easier to
keep sober. From a convenient,
comfortable and customary process,
drinking has been changed into a
difficult, discreditable and danger
Gus proceeding.
PROVIDED PROTECTION
AND RELIEF. The Eighteenth
Amendment and statutes for its en-
forcement have provided every in
dividual citizen and every subdivis-
ion of government means of pro-
lection against and relief from the
liquor traffic. Formerly the liquor
traffic was protected by license
laws against interference from in
nocent sufferers.
PROVED THE POPULAR
ITY OF PROHIBITION. Pop
ular approval of prohibition indi-
Gated by the ratification of the
Eighteenth Amendment by 10
states has been confirmed in every
succeeding election in the past five
years. In the last election the al
ready Overwhelmingly dry majority
in Congress was increased by 20,
and Illinois elected the dryest Leg
islature in the history of this state.
The most gratifying result of the
first five dry years is the surer life,
greater health and better care of
babies and little children.
The most deplorable thing during
the first FIVE years has been attacks
against conscientious officials for

strated that they could be made amenable
10 the law and that no political boss could
save them. Terry Druggan and frankie
Lake were two other notorious law break
ers and law evaders who neither respected
nor created respect for the law. They
held all laws in contempt. They were po-
litical bosses able to engineer themselves
out of all legal difficulties. They were
living examples of disrespect for law.
But prohibition got them too. They are
now in the Cook county Jail. They have
been taught that the prohibition law must
be respected The jail sentences now be-
ing served by them are warning TO law
breakers that all laws must be respected.
Their experience has demonstrated that
the law can be enforced Their punish
ment for violating prohibition laws has
aroused respect for all law among GRIM
inals and law breakers. Edward O'Don-
nell still another notorious disrespector
OF law, was sentenced in the Sieben Brew
cry case. Thomas O'Donnel whose pre-
vious successes in evading punishment
had brought law into diSrepute, was SEN
fenced in Madison, Wisconsin, on Janu-
airy Is. He had violated the prohibition
law and was sent to Jail by the United
States district court. Again it should be
noted that it was the Chicago police who
made the raids and the arrests in the Sic
ben Brewery case which led to success
full prosecution in the federal court.
Court Record Compels Respect
The cases mentioned above are by no
means exceptional SO far as federal pro-
hibition enforcement is concerned In the
Chicago northern district out of total of
1858 criminals tried in Is months, only
So were acquitted. Over 800 liquor law
violators have been sent to jail. A num-
Der of these are in the Leavenworth fed
eral prison serving long sentences. In
Peoria Federal Judge FitzHenry has a
similar record. Only a very small per-
centage OF the liquor violators brought to
trial escaped conviction. Many OF these
Peoria violators had scorned law observ-
ance for years. They knew no kind of
laws that they could not break without
punishment Their own disrespect for
law created a spirit of disrespect for all
law When the prohibition law was vio-
lated by these same law breakers they
learned that the law must be respected
and were forced to pay the price Of law
lessness.
Prohibition Enforcement Dispersed
Fixers
Prohibition cases in the federal court
revealed that various influences were be-
ing brought to bear to defeat justice and
respect for law. One method was per-
jury, means by which Dean O'Banion
before the court on liquor violation had
escaped punishment Such an example
was made of the perjuror in this case that
perjury has practically vanished from the
federal court in the northern district of
Illinois. This helped build respect for all
law Another method used to defeat pro-
hibition enforcement was political influ-
ence A political fxer was sent to Leav-
enworth for a year. Political iXers then
disappeared from the federal building and
gave all laws better chance. Another
method was bribery A crooked Juror

FORD'S FORD SMASHED
IN HEAD ON COLLISION

Two Ford cars, one belonging to
DR.. Ford of Roberts, and the other to
a Mr.. Lynch of New Richmond were
both badly smashed up in head-on
collision which occurred at a culvert
on the Kinnickinnic road couple of
miles from town about eleven o'clock
last Saturday night.
Both cars were driven by sons of
the owners. DR.. Ford's coupe, going
east, and the Lynch touring car,
coming towards town, collided with
such force that the latter, when
thrown into the ditch, had all four
wheels stripped off, the frame badly
twisted and the top crushed. The
coupe, although fender was torn
off and various portions of the chas-
sis twisted and even broken, escaped
without having a window or the
windshield smashed.
One of the two occupants of the
touring car was quite badly cut by
glass, but his injuries are not con-
sidered serious. No one else was in
jured.
The cars were brought to River
Falls by the Carisch trouble
chaser" car. The Lynch car, loaded
onto a truck, was returned to New
Richmond the following day.

A NOTEWORTHY MEETING

The discussion group meeting
held at the Congregational church
last Sunday evening proved to be a
most interesting and purposeful
meeting.
Taking for their subject that of
Prayer" the discussion group, a
representative body from the Metho-
dist, Lutheran and Congregational
churches, brought out by means of
searching questions, various illustra-
tions and helpful suggestions many
valuable lessons pertaining to the
subject. The leader of the group
emphasized the fact that it is not
the object of such discussion group
meetings to come to definite decis-
ions regarding the problems under
discussion. Their chief value is in
the stimulation of thought and a
sincere desire to know the truth
which will contribute to progress in
the Christian way of living.
Many are coming to recognize the
great value of such meetings and it
is hoped by those most interested in
the work that we may have many of
them during the coming year.
