of to-day carries no news that inebriates
who have taken the cure have organized
hundreds of local clubs with the primary
qualification of graduation from the
gold cure No items are to be found OF
the national conventions of these clubs,
welcomed sometimes by mayors and gov
ernors of states.
1.-THE personal liberty of liquor had been
but modestly restricted when the Kelley
boom came in the early nineties.
Through the home institute, its branches
and the mails, the gold cure was admin
istered to addicts at the rate of 5000 a
month. Within less than three years
after the start of the boom the 'Keeley
League claimed $1,000 graduates Still
the unfortunates kept coming. OF the
100000 treated which the Kelley Institute
advertises to-day it seems that two-thirds
at least took the cure from 1891 to 1900.
Hundreds of competing drink cures sprang
up to claim share of the harvest of in
ebriates.
Statewide prohibition was a substan-
tial factor in the decline of the Kelley
system, says the present head of the in
stitute at Dwight, DR.. j. H. Oughton. Dr.
Oughton is the son of one of Dr. Keeley'S
partners. Prohibition reduced drunken
ness and simultaneously reduced drink
cures The secretary of the original in
Stitute observes that all of the old-time
competitors of the 'Keeley cure are gone.
The sharp decline of competition and cor
responding enlargement of trade terri
tory have admittedly served to bring al
coholics to Dwight who formerly would
have gone to various other liquor cures
now defunct.
"The long experience of the Kelley In
stitute illustrates the operation of prohi-
bition in putting a brake on drunkenness.

Mrs. Nicholson was an active leader in
the anti-Smith Democratic force in the
presidential campaign last year. In reply
to Mrs. Sabin's letter she asked her some
pointed questions, first declaring that she
"must decline because I do not believe
there is any need for such an organization
as you represent" She says that she
knows the women throughout the country
are more anxious to reform the bootleg
gers victims than they are for prohibi-

entertained the same views then that you

FRUITS OF"COVERNMENT CONTROL"
Toronto "Star" Enumerates Many
Failures of Government Control

The Toronto Star is the leading news
paper of the province Of Ontario, Cam
ada. The Star says that the liquor con-
troll board of the province refuses to give
the amount of liquor sold and consumed
since government control became effective
June l, 1927. The Star estimates the
amount spent for liquor in the province
at $90,000000. The province has popu-
lation of about 100000. If the Stars
figures are correct the province spends
$45, 100000 for liquor annually.
The fruit of the first two years of gov
eminent control in Ontario is summed up
by the Star in the following:
More liquor consumed.
More liquor exported.
More highway accidents.
BootIegging still actively carried on.
Canned heat and other poisonous drinks
still consumed.
No permits issued for lUet banQuetS, but
MANY of them are 1Det.
Hotels given option OF being declared
dry, but not one has taken advantage OF
this.
Americans adopt plan to eu1de con-
troll by hiring big homes in Canada to en-
terrain large parties or cro1DdS.

PHYSICIANS PRESCRIPTIONS

According to government figures brought
up to July of this year and announced
by the Federal prohibition bureau, the
number of physicians permitted to pre-
scribe medicinal liquor totalled 70329 in
the United States.
Twenty-Five states prohibit the issuance
of permits for prescription of liquor for
medicinal use and accordingly, no permits
are granted by the Federal government in
such states. In this group, made up
largely of the states of the west and
south which had become bone dry before
the Federal law went into effect, are Ala
bama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Flor
ida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana Kansas,
Maine Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mex
leo, North Carolina, North Dakota, Okla
homa, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Utah, Washington, West Virginia.

FEDERAL JUDGES LENIENT
Federal Judges are Lenient in Deal
ing with Bootleggers

Federal judges are lenient with persons
convicted of violating the prohibition law
according to an analysis of crime condi-
lions by Herbert D. Brown, chief of the
United States Bureau of Efficiency, in
connection with investigations of Federal
prisons. Browns investigation show that
although sixty-eight per cent of all Fed
eral court convictions in 1926 were against
prohibition law violators only two per
cent of the number were sentenced to
Federal penitentiaries. Of course, many
others were sentenced to county jails and
warehouses.
much greater proportion of those who
violated the drug law and the auto theft
act were sent to the penitentiary than
were those who violated the prohibition
act. For example, in 1926 there were s.
120 convictions under the drug act and
of this number 1,540 or thirty per cent
were sentenced to Federal prison. The
same year only 765 out of 37018 convic-
tions for prohibition law violators were
sentenced to Federal penitentiaries.

Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, former Republic
can national committee woman from New
York state, is now head of nationwide
organization of women which has as its
object the overthrow of the prohibition
law. Mrs. Sabin wrote Mrs. Jesse w.
Nicholson, chairman of the National
Women's Democratic Law Enforcement
League, asking her to join her wet society,
and announcing that delegates from all
over the country will meet this fall prob
ably in Ohio In her letter to Mrs Mich
olson, Mrs Sabin says:
Believing there are multitudes OF
serious minded women throughout the
country who are opposed to national
prohibition and who are deeply con-
cerned by the increase in crime, law
leSsness and corruption since the

ADVANCE IN BRITAIN

The new British government has not
only announced in the speech from the
throne the appointment of commission
to study the revision of the liquor legisla-
ton; it has also taken various practical
measures which denote its anti-alcoholic
attitude. "he Chancellor of the Excheq-
uer, Mr.. Snowden has refused to accept
the reduction of the duties on alcoholic
beverages which his predecessor, Mr..
Churchill, had allowed the liquor trade to
hope for, and the Postmaster General has
decided that on the expiration of exist

tween drink and the drink cure To a
degree the law of supply and demand has
operated Drunkenness has produced
drink cures Similarly the reduction of
drunkenness has reduced drink cures
