CORRECTs WRONG IMPRESSION

C0RRECTs WRONG IMPRESSION
Dr. Herbert Hereod. Lausanne.
Switzerland. enc Of the four Joint
presidents Of the World League
Against Alcoholism. tells Of a book
which II. Lueien Romier. an emil
nent Frenehman, has written about
the United States. DIT. Hercod thus
quotes 81. Romier.
Let us set aside two erroneous
Impressions which have been re-
corded by hasty travellers. The first
is that prohibition is not enforced,
the second. that the American PEG
pie are in latent revolt against the
system.
1T IS certainly true that one has
only to pass a few days in New York
or IN some other Atlantic port to
realize clearly the activity and the
ingenuity of the smuggling traffic.
This traffic is equally active at the
principal points OF the frontiers of
Canada and Mexico. In all the
great cities OF the eastern states
your hosts will tell you, II you wish
to know, how to procure alcoholic
drinks. Some Of them will extend
their hospitality or their vanity so
far as 10 do you the honors Of their
secret cellar. There is hardly a club
or a family where Europeans are re-
ceiyed which cannot offer you at
least a choice of cocktails.
But to conclude from these facts
that prohibition Is not enforced In
the United States is equivalent to
judging the way OF living in the
whole of France from the customs
of certain quarters Of Marseilles or
the cabarets of Montmarte.
In reality fraud presents too
many risks and is too expensive to
be accessible, not merely to the
but to the well-to-do Ameri- |
can. Even in New York the greater
number OF people who could procure |
beverages refrain from do
ing 50: still more is this the case
the farther you go from the ports. |
In the immense territory of the |
United States. covering 100000 |
square miles, the zones of fraud rep
resent an insignificant surface. |
Only IN certain secret clubs and In I
some universities a restricted num-
Der Of idle people indulge in aleo-
hol, as in our country. they indulge
in forbidden games. in cocaine or
opium. The man who lives normal
ly. attends to his business. works or
travels, does not meet with the
temptation unless he deliberately
seeks for It.
Does he seek It? In other words
does the American of the people and
the American of the middle class
really suffer from prohibition?
Let US be frank enough to reeog-
nize that they do not.
THE truth is that prohibition is
upheld by a combination of ex-
tremely powerful influences which
dominate public opinion. This com
bination unites the innumerable
and churches of puri-
tan or protestant inspiration, the
female public as a whole and the
or social forces at the dis
posal of the great industrial con-

The Controller Bill provided that
a majority of the Senate and House
must elect the Controller. OBJ

Controller elected by the people.
The bill also provided for the Attor-
ney General to be a member of the
board of control. I objected 10 this
because I did not consider It good
government. The bill did not pro-
vide for the Senate to confirm the
appointments made By the Control
Ter and I. therefore. refused to sur
render this right Of the Senate.
Who made the Governor a mem

man who introduced the controller

you pass on them. It is time for the
people to think for themselves. 1
claim I am for the people and the
development of all of our resources
and I will introduce a bill amend
ing the Organic Act giving US the

self government the people want.
Are you satisfied with the con-
dltions of the Territory? Do you
want the kind of self government
that the Controller provided for?
Do you want the fish of Alaska de-
pleted altogether? If SO, continue
to support those who attempt to
convince through loud protesta-
lions and claim they are for self
government. Actions speak louder
than words.
How can you continue to support

NEW FREIGHT RECORD.

NEW YORK, December 26 (SpeciaD.
"A new high record for all time was
set in october by the railroads in the
United States in the speed with which
freight traffic was handled. The daily
average movement of each freight car
in the first ten months of this year was
also the highest ever attained for any
corresponding period All this is graft
flying to holders of railroad securities.
However, the point uppermost in the
minds of those holders is what the
roads will be able to earn over the next
few years. Some official changes in the
personnel of the Interstate Commerce
Commission are under way, but 1t Is
not likely that there will be any change
in the policy of the commerce body.
There are several important cases pend
ing before the commission that will
have far-reaching effect upon the rail-
road situation. The question of valua-
ton is now before the Supreme Court
and the ruling in that case is expected
to determine whether or not the
methods employed by the commission
are correct.

STOCK PRICES GAIN

Notwithstanding this stringency in

was a momentary hesitation when the

Operations for the rise were taken
up at the opening today about where
they were left off Monday and for the

as in the preceding session.
In part speculation centered around
the old favorites and in part new me-

0'FALL0N CASE ON COURT
CALENDAR FOR JANUARY 2

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 26.-The case
involving potentially the greatest sum
OF money that has ever come before
the Supreme Court of the United States
is now demanding the attention of that
body. 1t is the famous st. Louis Sx
OFallon valuation case, a test action
through which the carriers are going
to the highest court in order to de-
termine whether or not the method Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in determining the value of the rail-
roads is correct. A lower court has
sidestepped that issue, and many of
the best railroad students feel that the
highest court will do likewise On
January 2 the issue will be argued and
briefs for both the carriers and the Gov
ernment have been submitted. This
case will be of far-reaching Importance,
and If decided favorably for the carriers
1t is believed will result in the greatest
rail market in history. just as the rails
slumped when the first unfavorable de-
