parent that the reason for this do
nothing policy on the part of county
boards is political antagonism to the
states attorney. or the sheriff. or both,
and a selfish political motive on the part
of the board to prevent either or both
these officers from making a record in
prohibition enforcement. In other coun-
ties apparently the reason for the inaction
is simply wet influence.
Whatever the reason for the failure,
the taxpayer is the goat. 1t is clear that
in every county the officials respor.ible
cannot only make record for law en-
forcement and protect the people from the
Illicit liquor traffic and its attendant
evils, but can at the same time, by fol-
lowing the law benefit the taxpayers by
putting additional money into the county
treasury. In some counties the federal
government has found it necessary to go
in and clean up the county for the local
officials, in which case the money from
fines went into the federal treasury. in
stead of the county treasury where it
might have gone.
In view of the above figures, in coun-
ties where the law is not adequately en-
forced, the responsible officials should be
required to give an explanation Of their
failure.

LIABLE FOR DAMAGES

A decision was recently handed down
by the Supreme Court OF New Jersey in
the case of NonieWSky VS.. Polish Home of
Lodi, reported in 1872 Atlantic Report at
page 202. in which widow brought an
action under the Civil Damage section
Of the New Jersey law, in behalf of her
self and minor children, and recovered q
verdict of $4,000 on the ground that The
defendant organization sold Intoxicating
liquor illegally to the husband and father,
which in part contributed to his death.
This is the first decision which we have
seen since the adoption of the Eighteenth
Amendment and the federal and state en-
forcement codes, where substantial re-
coyery was had in a case Of this kind.
This case should be given the widest
publicity in order that innocent persons
whose rights are ruthlessly violated by the
sale of liquor to those upon whom they
are dependent, may be Informed of this
remedy which the prohibition laws give
to them
The Illinois Supreme Court has already
declared constitutional a provision in our
state code which is similar to the New
Jersey statute under which the above ver-
dict was rendered.

Opponents of prohibition who have ap-
peared to be SO much concerned about
poisonous and deadly liquor, are given
a hard jolt by recent scientific compar-
isons between prohibition liquors and
the present day product.
DR. VIM A. Evans summarizes these
findings in a recent article in his column
in the Chicago Tribune as follows:
In a certain sense bootleg liquor had
an inning, in a recent number OF the Ne11
ENGLAND Medical and Surgical Journal.
The writer's, DR. ReiC, Hunt and Mr. Lyth-
goe, found that bootleg and moonshIne
were about as good and under many cir
cunstances even better and safer than
fine old whisky Their findings were con-
firmed by H v Atkinson in the Journal
OF the American Pharmaceutical ASSocia
ton.
lone specimen analyzed was bottle Of
old bottled in bond pre-war stuh, the kind
men keep locked np in the safe. AS to
fine, old, one-tine le2itimae e whisky, the
chemists found it purest when first made.
AS it ages in wood il picks up harmful
substances from the wall Of the package
and develops others Of It's own. The very
substances which give the color, the fla
vor and appearance Of age are sources OF
harm, secondary only to the alcohol It

"a specimen, aged eight years in bar
rel, was found to have grown more toxic
the older and more respectable it became.
Eight years of ageing increased the fusel
oil forty to seventy per cent; increased
the aldehydes two hundred to three hun
dred per cent; furfural, $50 to $50 per
cent; the acids 700 to 1900 per cent; est
ers $50 to 45O per cent. The meaning of all
this is that good raw whisky hot from
the worm carries less knockout drops than
very respectable, old bottled in bond, aged
in the wood stuff.

FIGURES FROM ILLINOIS STATES ATTORNEYS FOR 1927
SHOW GOOD ECONOMY TO ENFORCE PROHIBITION LAW

Since the enactment of the Illinois
Prohibition Act, the Legal Department of
the Anti-Saloon League has each year
obtained from states attorneys figures
showing the total amount of money paid
into the county treasury from fines i'll
liquor prosecutions and the amount of
extra expense incurred by the states at
torney'S office in making such prosecu-
tions.
These figures have shown that from
four to fourteen times as much money
has been received from liquor cases as
the total extra expense of prosecuting
those cases, over and above their pro-
portionate share of the ordinary expense
of maintaining the states attorneys
Office
We have just tabulated the figures for
1927 prosecutions. From the counties
reporting the figures show $88 ,54580 paid
into the county treasures, while the
extra expense of prosecuting these liquor
cases was but $14,24000.
A survey of the state shows that there
are still a number of county boards,
states attorneys and sheriffs who prefer to
see withheld from the county treasury

the taxpayers. In some counties it is ap-

BIG VICTORIES
Moves to Lock Up Twelve Famous Nhtfe Cafes District Ao
ney Announces Padochs Will Stay on

A federal paddock was decreed yester-
day for Rainbo Gardens, the brightest
spot of Chicagos night life.
Observation evidence, based on the the
ory that liquids poured into "Set-ups" Of
cracked ice and ginger ale are alcoholic,
was responsible. Fred Mann, ST., leader
of the fight of thirteen cabaret owners
against padlocking, gave up. His attorney,
Benedict j. Short, allowed a consent de-
cree to be entered
Cases against the other night clubs will
be rushed to hearing Within two weeks,
it was said, the citys gayest night life re-
sorts will be dark
Mann asked and received from Judge
Walter G. Lindley, ten days to put his af-
fairs in order before the doors are locked.
But Sunday night, he announced, will
probably see the last merriment in the
place that is now the rendezvous for the
prominent and show place for visitors to
the city.
WILL SEEK PERMIT TO OPEN
Mann declared that he will petition for
the right to reopen the premises for other
than cafe purposes. Edgar b Elder as
Sistant United States attorney prosecuting
the case, replied that federal authorities
will oppose any attempt to eVade the
one-year closing order.
The paddock order does not affect the
Jai Alai Fronton which is in a separate
building from the Rainbo Garden.
Cases OF the otler places under fire will
be heard at once. This morning Mr.. Ell
der will go before Judge Lindley to ask in

OTHERS THREATENED
Other cafes and cabarets facing pad
locks are the Hollywood Barn, Alamo,
Samovar, Blackhawk, Jeffery, Tavern and
Plantation.
Granted the government is victorious,
every cabaret of prominence in Chicago
will be closed. The Summer, officials
declare will be practically without night
club entertainment in the city. Hundreds
of musicians and entertainers will be
temporarily at least thrown out of en-
ployment.
Approximately $4,000 worth of prop
erty will be affected. Most of it is high
rental property. Millions of dollars it is
estimated, will be lost in rentals and in
come by property owners and cabaret Op
orators.
REOPENING BARRED
Mr. Elder made it plain that none of
the places closed will be permitted to re-
open for transaction of other forms of
business. The paddock order means clos
ing for a year he explained.
The Cafe Owners Association headed
by Mann, has fought for several months
against observation evidence. Since fed
eral authorities ruled that such evidence
was sufficient to convict, it has been re-.
allied that Chicago's night life was in per-
il. The #associnfion raised = 1arae defense
fund, and it was generally believed that
upon the disposition of the Rainbo Gar
dens case would depend the fate of the
others.-Chicago Herald Examiner, May
4, 1923.
