MORE SUCH vERDIcTs WANTED
(Aurora Beacon-News)

aurora Beacon NeWS)
A rich man who drove his automobile
into the Car of an old man and killed him
was found guilty of manslaughter by a
Chicago jury the other day and his pun
ishment fixed at from one year to life in
the penitentiary. According to the evil
dence produced against the convicted man
he had been drinking and drove his car
like a mailman. Like mailman is the
way fellows usually drive who liquor up
before they get into their cars. Life i'm
prisonment is not too much for them if
they kill some one. They should hang
just as any other ruthless killer should.
The man who gets drunk and then gets
into an automobile has not much regard
for the rights of others.
The Chicago autoist was not convicted
for want of able defense. He had the
same lawyer who acted as chief of coun-
sci for Loeb and Leopold and the excuse
offered for him was good; that he had
been working hard all day and had merely
picked up some friends at cabaret to
give them lift home. Meeting them he
only drank vichy. Vichy to the jury
sounded fishy and they so emphasized in
their verdict.
More verdicts of the kind are what is
needed. They will curb wild drivers
more than all the appeals in the world.
Editors Note:-The case referred to
above is that of Joseph F. Kyle, who kill
ed Chas. Hudson, the father of E. E.
Hudson, field secretary for the Anti-Sa-
loon League.

WHAT CLEAR THINKING RE-
VEALS
(Aurora Beacon-News)

(Aurora Beacon-NeWS)
II those who seek to change law that
they do not like would consult competent
lawyers, to find out what changes can be
made and how to make them, it would be
interesting. When they learned that the
Eighteenth Amendment can never be
changed so long as Is states favor it, they
might investigate which of the IS driest
states is likely to change its mind.
Then, finding the amendment immov-
able, and turning to the Volstead Act,
they might inquire why the "a "beer and
wine" bills introduced in the present con-
gress had not a word about land wine"
in the whole "a. They provided only for
beer. SO, learning that their own attor-
neys had advised that any land wine"
law, and even any normal strength beer
law, would be unconstitutional, they
might consider what there is left to agi-
tate for A little clear thinking, on these
facts, might save lot of fudded feeling,
disregarding facts.

CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING
(Sterling Gazette1

The holidays have come and gone.
While there was some bad booze dissi-
pated during that period, as there usually
is, the expression that comes to the Ga
zette is to the effect that there was much
less of it than year ago. There were no
local tragedies from poison booze, and
throughout the country, the list was not
apparently nearly so large as in some
former years. This is certainly cause for
thanksgiving.

ingman for glass of beer or drink of
whisky that you are hearing today. It is
thewai' of the man who made fortunes in
the liquor business who is crying for
more. That's all there is to it. The
workingman is fast learning that he
doesn't need strong liquor as part of his
daily diet He is weaving himself away
from the keg and the bottle.

heartily in accord with the agitation, it
was said.
Captains, each with three aides, were
appointed to carry on an intensive mem
bership drive. In 90 days it was planned
that a permanent organization would be
formed.
National Vets Appoint Committee
The following Washington dispatch
printed in the Chicago Tribune tells of
the new drive being launched by the ma
tional liquor organizations
Announcement was made today by the
Amendment of the formation of a new
committee of fifty of the nations leading
men and women who will aid in an extern
sive campaign to bring about the modi6-
cation of the Volstead act. With the as
sistance of this committee the association
plans to increase its activities tenfold this
year and organize political groups with
adequate backing in fifteen congressional
districts now represented by bone dry con-
gressmen who are defying the wishes of
their constituents on this question:
Moist Scientists Selected
The association also announced it is
organizing another committee of leading
American scientists and economists who,
after exhaustive study and observation of
the alcoholic beverage situation both in
this country and abroad, will draft and
submit to Congress and to our people
constructive plans for workable liquor
control systems with the object in view of
finding method to bring about the great
est possible degree of temperance in the
United States"
The membership of the committee of
SO referred to in the Tribune story in
cludes Representative Britton of Illinois
together with Congressman Hill and other
Senators and Representatives noted for
their advocacy of the liquor traffic.
Former Wet Scheme Exposed
The announcement of the appointment
of committee of scientists and econom-
lists serves as reminder that similar
committee was formed in the old days
when the brewers were in the height of
their power but saw prohibition impend-
ing. This committee was being formed
by John Koren whose articles on alcohol
had been appearing in many magazines.
Ernest Gordon, prohibition student and
writer noticed that Korens magazine ar
ticles were strikingly similar to anonymous
contributions to the brewers year books.

A drunken police captain was forcibly

CRIME WAVE BLAMED ON
BETTER CITIZENS" BY
JULIUS ROSENWALD
Chicago 1'ribune)

St. Louis, Mo, Jan. 2l.--A plea
for law enforcement, with sharp
rebuke at the Haunting of the pro-
hibition laws by the so-called bet
ter citizens" was delivered by Jul
Illus Rosenwald, chairman of the
board of Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
Chicago, in an address before the
chamber of commerce today.
I'VE, so-called better citizens, are
in large measure responsible for
the present crime waves in many
cities" Mr.. Rosenwald said. I'VE
want to break the laws which we
think are wrong. Our class en-
courages the bootlegger. This
country cannot exist unless the
laws are enforced, and if the best
element in the country will not
help, theirs will be the major
loss"

CORONER SAYS LIQUOR
KILLS TWELVE DAILY

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-Ten
or twelve cases where deaths are
due to drinking bootleg or moon
shine liquor come daily to his at
tention, said Coroner Robert J. Pat
ton at an inquest into the death of
Charles H. Colgan, a victim Of bad
liquor.
There are many other cases not
recorded" he added, where victims
were treated by physicians and
where, out of regard for relatives,
death is ascribed to heart disease
or kidney trouble. It would be in
teresting to know how many Phila-
delphians are daily being killed off
by the poison sold them as a
beverage"
The coroner was Gnbale to find
out where the bad liquor was pur-
chased. 1.-The rum question in Phila-
delphia is out of the hands Of the
respectable element and in the
hands of admitted law violators who
stop at nothing" he said.

BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH.

LONDON. Feb. 12.-Newspapers
in London gave considerable promi-
hence today to Washington reports
that United States Ambassador KEEL
logg may be forced to resign the APP
pointment Of Secretary of State.
At the American Embassy it was
said Kellogg would not make any
statement. His course Of action re.
garding his appearance before a
Senate committee to explain the
Paris financial agreement depends
upon instructions he receives from
President Coolidge after arriving in
Washington, It was said.
The delicacy of the allied debt
situation at this time was given as
the reason for Kellogg's silence. It
is understood that Kellogg has been
annoyed by the Washington re-
ports, but considers his course in
conformity with the wishes of the
President. It was said that he,
therefore, was not worrying, al.
though he did not welcome a politi.
cal row at the outset of his career
as Secretary of State.
