APPEAL TO FELLOW EDITORS
President of National Editorial Associa-
ton Urges Newspapers to Support
Enforcement Program

At the annual convention of the Ma
tional Editorial Association held in Rich
mond, Va, early this month, George w.
Marble, president of the Association,
made an appeal to newspaper publishers
to lend themselves and the space in their
papers to the enforcement of law and es-
pecially the prohibition law. Declaring
the Editorial Association had gone on
record at previous conventions "deprecat-
ing the widespread tendency on the part
of metropolitan newspapers and more or
less influential citizens to join with the
lawless element in fouting the prohibition
amendment to the Constitution" Mr..
Marble said
There can, of course, be no just
criticism of sincere efforts by fair
means to repeal an Objectionable law,
but to tolerate the assumption that be-
cause a law is unpopular in a COM
munity it may be disregarded there
is to concede the impotency of the es-
sential principles of our whole system
OF government.

DEPRESSION IN LEGTTI-
MATE BUSINESS"

We quote the following para
graph from the Victoria Daily
Colonist, the largest daily in Brit
ish Columbia outside of Vancouver.
Four years ago British Columbia
abolished prohibition and legalized
the sale of wine and beer. This
paragraph gives a pen picture of
the results:
One of the Liberal members
for Vancouver says too much
beer is already being sold and
consumed in Vancouver. The
member thinks the people of
Vancouver are drinking SO
much beer and paying so much
money for it that they have
not enough money left to
spend upon the real necessa-
ries of life-that they are pan
dering to the unnatural desires
of their stomachs and neglect
ing the natural requirements
of the rest of their bodies. The
consequence is a depression in
legitimate business.

or liquors unless otherwise expressed,
shall be deemed to mean all drinks and
drinkable liquids which are non-intoxicat-
ing, and which contain not less than. one
half of one per cent by volume at 90 de-
grees Fahrenheit of absolute alcohol"
The situation which exists is very in
tricate one. Strictly speaking intoxicat-
ing liquor is not defined For the purpose
of evidence, two and one-half per cent of
alcohol by volume is conclusiveiy deemed
to render the beverage Intoxicating The
government insists that if proof is had
that liquor of less strength be found to be
Intoxicating, no permit holder is author
lied to sell it, but the onus is upon the
prosecution to show that the liquor ac-
tually did intoxicate, and as the govern
ment itself is the official prosecutor and
does not believe two and one-half per cent
to be Intoxicating, there is neither like1i-
hood nor probability of them initiating
prosecutions. As matter of strict legal
fact, the law in the province of Ontario
does not allow the sale within the prov
ince of Intoxicating beer for beverage pur-
poses. The difficulty in the enforcement
of such law will be found in the matter
OF proof as an anomalous situation will
arise when the government is called upon
to prosecute individuals for selling an in
toxicating beverage which the govern
ment itself has, in effect declared to be
Notwithstanding
The ministry or administration rcspon-
sible for this legislation in the face of the
recent plebiscite seeks to justify its posi-
ton on the ground that the system which
they have introduced merely provides rev.
enue and affords a method of control of
the sale of Notwithstanding beverages
There is much dissatisfaction throughout
he province, however, among the majority
who voted to sustain the Ontario Tenn
perance Act, and there is a feeling that
the ministry, by its action has broken
faith with the people.
1t is safe to predict that SUCH a system
will not be satisfactory to either side of
the controversy. The vets who support
the action of the ministry, will not be sat
lshed because beverages containing $50
per cent alcohol by volume will not crafty
the cravings of those who demand alco-
holic stimulants Already the brewers are
active in their efforts to bring about fur
Their modification of the law to permit an
increase in the alcoholic content of beer.
The drys, on the other hand, will not be
satisfied with the legislation because bev-
erages containing as much as $50 per
cent alcohol by volume will intoxicate
many people. To permit their sale will
only encourage the development of the
alcohol habit and retard the cause of tenn
perance. They also regard the Inaugural
ton of the permit system as nothing short
of the restoration of the former license
system. It also confuses the revenue
question with the prohibition issue It

will mean the return Of public drinking
places and gives an opportunity for the
brewers to exert larger influence upon
politics. The reaction of the citizens of
Ontario to the new policy inanguratcd by
the ministry will be observed by the peo-
pie of the United States with interest.

merely nickname popularity given to the
beverage. The situation in the province
of Ontario is as follows:
The Ontario Temperance act which was
adopted in 1916 defined the term intoxi-
eating liquor as follows:
Liquor or liquors. unless otherwise
expressed, shall include alcohol and all
fermented spirituous and malt liquors,
and combinations of liquors, and drinks
and drinkable liquors which are intoxi-
eating, and any liquor which contains
more than two and one-half per cent of
proof spirits shall be conclusively deemed
to be Intoxicating"
Reducing this to terms corresponding
to those generally used in the statutes of
the United States, this act in effect de-
clared that any liquor containing more
than IA per cent of alcohol by volume
should be regarded as Intoxicating. On
October 3, 1924, two questions were sub
mitted to the voters of the province; First,
Are you in favor of the continuance of the
Ontario Temperance Act? Second, Are
you in favor of the sale as beverage of
beer and spirituous liquor in sealed pack
ages under government control? The
election returns showed majority Of 49,
915 against the second proposal to legal
ize the sale of beverage beer and spir-
ituous liquor in sealed packages under
government control. Notwithstanding this
election, the provincial government in
1925 proposed an amendment in the legis-
lature which, in effect, changed the def
milton of Intoxicating liquors and provided
for the granting of licenses to sell So
called Notwithstanding liquors containing
not less than one-half of one per cent of
alcohol by volume nor more than two and
a half per cent of alcohol by volume at 90
degrees Fahrenheit. The bill was en-
acted. The exact wording of the new def
milton of Intoxicating liquors is as fol-
lows:
Liquor or liquors. unless otherwise
expressed, shall include all drinks and
drinkabe liquids which contain more
than one-half of one per cent by volume
at 90 degrees Fahrenheit of absolute a1co-
ho1 and alcohol and all fermented, spir-
ituous and malt liquors and combinations
of liquors and drinks and drinkable 1iq-
uids which are Intoxicating, and any liq-
uEr which contains more than two and
one-half per cent by volume at 90 degrees
Fahrenheit of absolute alcohol shall be
conc1usiyely deemed to be Intoxicating"
By another section of the Act, provision
is made for the practical restoration of the
license system to administer the manufac-
ture and sale of the so-called non-intoxi-
eating liquors. This reads as follows:
"The Board may with the approval of
the Minister and subject to any rules and
regulations made under this Act
"(a) Grant permit to any person au-
thorizing such person to keep for sale and
sell by himself or by his employee in the
premises designated in such permit 1iq-
uors containing not more than two and
one-half per cent by volume at 90 degrees
Fahrenheit of absolute alcohol. :"

in the issuance of permits, allowed the
wording of the statutes exactly but is SIM

Times:
John Larson in the issue of April
~ states why many women will
assert that prohibition is a magni6-
cent, wonderful success"
l am writing from an anthracite
county (Schuyll1ilD. Our population
is more than 100000. So far as we
know we were the wettcst county on
earth, with more than 1000 licensed
drinking places, eleven of them brew
cries. The brewerieS and saloon
keepers made and unmade judges,
district attorneys, congressman and
member of the legislature with no
more ado than they named the brew
masters and bartenders.
One of Our towns, Shenandoah,
with a population of 25,000 had 100
licensed places, two Of them brew
cries. We had towns, like New
Philadelphia and McAdoo, where
there was a saloon for every 100
population.
Prior to prohibition mining opera
tons were very much crippled from
one to three days after every semi
monthly pay day. Such a thing now
is unknown.
Prior to prohibition every Sunday
morning in Shenandoah, especially
after pay day, there was lineup of
wives and relative to get husbands
and brothers out of the lookup. That
is now matter of the past.
The one great argument was how
it would, first, affect the value of real
estate if prohibition became a law.
The contention was that with the sa-
loonkeepers out of business the land
lords would have no tenants for their
properties. What is the result? The
breWeriss that owned so much choice
property especially corner sites, are
selling the properties at three times
the prices they paid for them, and
in cases where they are still the land
lords are getting double and triple
the rent over and above the rental
value when saloonkecpers occupied
the properties.
Where one collicry employe owned
his home before prohibition three
own their homes now. Where one
deed was recorded ten years ago
there are now three. Where a six
room house with bath sold for $1,000
ten years ago it now sells for $4,000
or more.
Have we bootleggcrs? Yes, and
some who have made great deal of
money. We have some infamous
roadhouses. We always had law
breakers.
If we could only get the people
who believe there is no JOY in life
other than putting an enemy in their
mouths to steal away their brains to
visit these mining and industrial re-

Orders On Hand Assure Winter
Employment For Full Com
plement Mill Hands-Will
Mean Better Business In All
Lines of Trade in Augusta

All departments of the Edwards
Manufacturing company mill in this
city went onto full time schedule
this week, following a long period,
during which operations have been
on a part time basis with only four
day week during much of that time.
Milton o. Dean, superintendent of the
Edwards cotton mill stated Wednes-
day that the company had orders
which practically assured the con-
tinuance of the full time schedule
throughout the winter and probably
indefinitely.
About two weeks ago the local tex
tile plant received riders for several
hundred thousand yards of SO called
shoe felt, which set hundreds of
looms in operation, which had been
idle for many months past. Shoe
felt is but one manufactured cotton
product for which the local mills are
especially equipped to produce in
large quantities, and the orders
which mean the reopening of all de-
partments at the cotton mill will also
find reflection in increased activity in
the shoe manufactures.
At the present time there are some
$50 hands employed at the Edwards
Manufacturing company and the full
time schedule in that plant will I'M
doubtedly do more to increase the
volume of trade in all lines of bust
ness in this city, especially in the re-
tail trade, than any other one agency.
Continued full time operation of the
cotton mill will mean prosperity to
all Augusta business establishments.
