In our country who is responsible for

the bootlegger, tempted by enormous

fore, not responsible for the drinking that
causes accidents. The people who do not
patronize bootleggers are not responsible
for the temptation to drink which mud

HOTEL RECORD OF PRE-PROHIBI-

It so happens that I am sitting be-
fore lot of evidence as to what and
how much people used to drink before
prohibition and it is plentiful in guam
tity and OF convincing if not of convict
ing possibilities. -.
How men and women to the number
of thirty-two could have got outside or
so much food and drink during din
ner must furnish theme for wonder.
Mere than a hundred quarts of wine
and SODA water, not to mention thirty
two small glasses of brandy and other
fiery stinaulants- average of three
and half quarts of liquid, not to speak
of twenty different kinds of food, most
of them solids. Truly, speaking of appe-
titles and capacity, there must have
been giants in those days, and giant

am not saying a lot is not done now.
What I do assert, in the light of what

that people used to eat more before the
war than they do now and that in some
places such as the Waldorf-and there
were other spots favored by the consti-

LET THOSE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE
STONES

When the expected conference (the
conference of women to meet with Mrs.
Pauline Sabin to consider lawlessness)
meets, I venture to suggest that the
chairman might appropriately begin:
Ladies, those who would solve the prob
lem of lawiessness must themselves
qualify for the task by being glliHlesS Of
sin. Therefore pronounce all who have
purchased, sold, distributed served or
drunk bootlegger's alcoholic beverages

such leave the room? The remainder
may find way to order and decency."

If reports of the scenes attending the
recent American Legion Convention at
Louisville, Kentucky, are not exaggerated
(See the Christian Century, October 16,
1920, there is an organization that may
very appropriately be invited to leave the
room when the matter of prohibition is
under discussion. If the disgraceful
drinking at their convention was correctly
reported, and if it represents the attitude
of the responsible portion of the organi-
zation toward liquor, they are the least
qualified to ask for the return of legalized
liquor selling.
If, however, as one can easily believe,
it was the unattached and irresponsible
hoodlums who disgraced their convention,

new PRISON PROPOSED
Attorney General Advocates Con-
struction of New Federal Prison
and Federal Jails

Attorney General William D. Mitchell in
radio address over the National Broad
casting System, November 3, proposed
$6,500,000 construction program to care for
federal prisoners convicted for violation Of
narcotic and prohibition laws. Mr.. Mitch
ell said in part:
1--WE need first new federal peniten-
tiary with a capacity of 200 to be located
in the north Atlantic States. Second,
new industrial reformatory similar to Chill
hcothe to serve the territory west of the
Mississippi River, with a capacity of 1900.
Third, three federal jails or houses of de-
tention-one in the north central states,
one on the Pacific Coast, and one in the
central south.
1.-THE Federal Government has never
provided jails of its own for jail prisoners,
but has rented accommodations in state
and county jails, and it is not proposed at
present to ge beyond the construction Of
the three jails mentioned.
"This construction program will cost
about $500. 900, spread over five-year
period. Approved by the budget this pro-
gram awaits only the action of Congress-"
In advocating employment for the pris-
oners the Attorney General said that OPP
position to this was based on the conten-
ton that the products of convict labor
00oAAANoo'
this point he said:
"This is very selfish opposition. Prod
ucts of federal prisons are to be used only
by the federal government. and the guam,
tity is too small to be an important factor
in competition with private enterprises.
1.-THE federal prison industries sheuld be
diversified so that competition with private
enterprises shall not be concentrated on
few industries. Beyond that private in
dustry has no justification for opposition
to employment of federal prisoners. It
costs the taxpayer large sums to house,
clotlle and feed federal prisoners. Why
should thousands of able bodied men and
women in federal prisons not be required
by their labor to help support themselves"
Another need of the prison ad1niniStra-
ton, Mr.. Mitchell said, is a better system
of parole upon which the department is
now working A Congressional committee
made a survey of the various federal
prisons last year and reported that they
were greatly overcrowded.
