antional exchange and at the same time
deprived the government of the revenues
that might be derived from legalized trade
In spirits.
Thus the vodka trade is approaching its
old extension. But there are forces at
work combating it:
War on vodka is being carried on by
cultural and educational movements, such
as lectures, scientific pamphlets, movie
propaganda. The school children are in
Structed as to the harmful effects of drink.
The moving picture propaganda is not
without interest. The Russians are quite
original in the way they go about it
They will tell you that if you talk to
young man about the social refexes of
drink how alcohol brings a man down
from prosperity to the gutter, how the
young wife formerly surrounded by ev-
cry comfort and luxury is compelled to go
out to dig CLAIMS while her children are
forced to beg bread on the streets-al this
will leave him cold. But to show him on a
moving picture screen the actual effect of
alcohol upon the physical organism, how it
worsts man in athletic competition, how
it befogs an automobile driver, how the
crowded city street looks to a drunken
chauffeur-these depictions strongly i'm
press the youth of the country.

RECKLESS FALSEHOODS

Apropos of the SANDERS circulated by
he vets against our young people, is this
honorable record from Connecticut:
Since the month of May, $500 young
men and women between 10 and 1S years
Of age have received licenses to drive au-
tomobiles. The superintendent of the
State Police says that in three months not
1 single one of these young people has
been arrested for intoxication-
The Motor Vehicle Department de-
.lares that not one of this class of drivers
las been involved in a fatal accident, or
ven in an accident that could be described
s Spectacular"
These are facts" says the writer, Rob
TT P. Anderson. "The pictures one gets
IF youth engaged in cocktail drinking,
roadhouse orgies, and reckless ISLANDERS
against clean generation of youth as ever
lived. Prohibition is saving multitudes
Of young men and women from being de-
0auched. The one certain fact is that to
license the sale of Intoxicating liquors I'M
der any pretext whatever would not only
produce debauchery on wholesale scale,
out would make automobile driving so
dangerous that decent people would be
Iriven off the road.

though every evidence pointed n that die
rection. Both the field workers and wives
took that condition so far granted that
frequently no note was taken of it until
the case history was well under way and
when an unusual outbreak on the part of
the offender demanded attention. By 1924
things were different. Apparently any hint
of drink as even a casual factor was men,
toned in the very first record.
The figures for the comparison show
that @The number of families in which
drink was even limited at had been re-
duced from 113 or 223 per cent of the
total in 1915 to 20 or 80 per cent in 1924"

Liquor Lawlessness Worse in London Than America

ly; here it is an institution.
The detective takes the place of the
prohibition officer, and, of course, there
is the police. To those to whom graft
holds no temptation there must be
other means, and SO enter the ''invis-
IDLE guards"
These are well-organized gangs of
the underworld, in the majority of
cases paid by the proprietors of dis
reputable" resorts, and their business
is to keep these clubs informed as to
the movements of the legitimate spies
employed by the police.
Not only are they able to extract
valuable information as to the move
ments of the police from those cops
who find use for little pin money"
but they know the plainclothes men
by sight and quite often are informed,
often days beforehand, when a raid is
to take place or one of their" houses
is being watched.
There have been occasions when
parties of police have been seen as
sembling by these spies, and warnings
are sent around Immediately by rum
ners who work in conjunction with
the spies.
1t is astonishing when one realizes
the salary these invisible" agents
draw Those who have close connec-
tons with the police and are informed
of the movements of such, receive on
an average of a hundred dollars
week. Like baseball players, they are
traded each year with different gangs.
However, the police in many in
stances have found solution to this
problem, for unlike the "underworlds"
of other countries, it is said there is no
honor among the crooks of London.
Thus the police often benefit by "dou-
decreasing"

VODKA
VODKA

(By Alfred Pearce Dennis)
A clear picture of the economic conse-
,uences a nation may reap from its liquor
policy is here told in the experience OF
e.sthonia.
= In the pre-war period the Esthonian
peasant partook of light breakfast of po-
alto bread and alcohol. At noon his lunch
ION consisted of a snack of dried fish and
snifter of vodka. Shortly thereafter he
knocked off for the day.
Esthonia, as a Russian province, was
DOOR country with limited future. As an
independent Republic, with the Russian
vodka market lost and its production cut
% per cent, Esthonia today is one of the
'ew countries in Europe that balances its
budget and maintains a favorable Internal
ional trade balance Esthonia is growing
lst as many potatoes-some 500 pounds
er capita-but the spud crop is being fed
aniamls and converted into milk and
utter instead of alcohol The little re-
public within ten years has waxed conse-
Iuential as a dairy country, with exports

Russians patronizingly refer to Esthonia
IS the little potato republic.
No such improvement is recorded OF
-oresent-day Russia, where the Soviet re-
girne restored government vodka, as a
preventive, it claims, of home distilling.
But its objection to the home appears to
lave been on economic rather than hui
nanitarian grounds.
The communist government, whose ac-
i've sympathizers represented probably
eot more than per cent of the Russian
opulation, needed at least the passive
upport of the peasants, representing, as
ley did, IS per cent of the population.
The government could not risk alternating
he peasant by warning on the home dis
iller and bootlegger.. 1t could neither
suppress the conuaband trade in vodka
nor endure it. Home distlling at once
wasted the grain the Soviet Gover--aent
essentially needed as medium nE inter-

A DIVIDED HOUSE2

"A DIVIDED EOOSEt
Clear-cut and penetrating are the Her
AIDS comments on the difference of opin-
ions concerning methods that were under
discussion at the Washington conference.
Among the significant passages are the
following:
By far the largest support during the
years for the work of the Anti-Saloon
League has come from the churches and
from individual Christians and it should
be evident, even to the wayfaring man,
that the church, true to its traditions, will
cast its vote strongly on the side of edu-
cation in the effort to make prohibition
permanently effective. Intelligent Chris
tians are more inclined to place reliance
upo nthe spirit than upon might and pow
er.. In recent years many men and worn-
en- of intelligence have grown weary of
the too generous use of political coer-
cion and the excessive zeal for their spec
tacular results and welcome the turning
to those methods of education which will
guarantee forever dry America.
The stupendous success of the Won-
ans Christian Temperance Union, for ex-
ample, is due almost altogether to the sys-
tenn of temperance education sponsored by
the organization throughout the years.
There can be no doubt, however, but that
the forces which stood for the old-fash-
toned methods of reform gained tempo
rary victory at Washington, but it remains
to be seen whether they will have insight
enough to make the new department. vi
tai in the program of law enforcement.
Unless they do recognize the indispensable
value of enforcement and training to the
cause, we predict that the Anti-Saloon
League will lose tragicaly in prestige and
influence.
Concerning the new Education Depart
ment it is said:
This department more than any other
type of activity will, if it is heartily sup
ported by sympathetic board of direc-
tors, help to make prohibition growing out
of genuine respect for law, an all-per-
manent feature of American life.
The Director of the new department. of
Education, Publicity and Research is DR..
Ernest H. Cherrington, General Secretary
of the World League Against Alcoholism,
and member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church Dr. Cherrington's intelligence,
integrity and ability have made him the
acknowledged leader of the temperance
forces of America and of the world. So
long as leaders like DR.. Cherrington can
be obtained and given large resources and
freedom for the prosecution of their work
the Anti-Saloon League will continue to
be recognized as the instrument of the
church in their responsibility for moral
progress. But we voice this word of
warning to the League: do not minimize
the work of Education"

 Local enthusiasts staked all the ground for speculation and many claim Kappler's adverse report Was made to keep outside capital away. However, the general opinion is that stampede propaganda should be avoided until prospects ar edefinitely determined.
 Happier says there is good dredg ing ground on Altar creek and there are prospects that dredge will be put in operation there soon.
