But Bamboo still will have the

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-Par-
tisan politics is the. blighting i'll
fuence on public charity, John A.
Brown, secretary of the state board
of charities of Indiana, told the ma
tional conference of welfare workers
here in an address Wednesday aft
ernoon.
Public social service frequently is
criticised" Brown declared. Some
of it is justified, The one criticism
most often heard is that it is dom
mated by partisan politics.
I'VE know of its blighting inf1u-
ence when it gets its strangle-hold
on the public social service of the
state and county. repelling science
and research and discouraging stu
dnts and scientific men from enter
ing public service"
The speaker declared however,
that there is a. marked trend from
private charities to public.
"The governmental policy of lesv-
ing the matter of humanitarian
functions to private agencies has
been superseded by a movement to-
ward the regulation. supervision and
administration of many features of
social welfare work" said Brown.
There is a growing tendency to
place upon the state and its po-
litical divisions many functions that
formerly were private. The govern
ment justifies its position and activ-
tiles in the field of social welfare on
the principle that the chief function
Of government is the promotion of

sand gallons of bonded whisky, val

The report was based on an in

Statistics in the report to Doran
were said to disclose systematic
substituting of colored water for

500 Agents and II Cutters
Guard u. S.. Canadian
Border.
ByNEA 6crticC

nETROIT, July 4,-The great
- est prohibition army and navy
ever brought together under the
American flag have made the once
rip-roaring Detroit river into as
peaceable and laW-abiding stretch
of water as the North American
continent can show.
The "big push" of the prohibition
forces has made the opening of its
| campaign a huge success. The run
ners are not coming across at De-
troit now.
The Detroit speakeasies are clos
ing right and left. The highways
leading out of the city no longer
resound to the roar of big truck
trains carrying booze for distant
cities.
500 Agents on Duty
There's a reason-several reasons
in fact.
Five hundred prohibition agents
or other government forces serving
in that capacity are on duty here
now.
The coast guard has five of its
snappy seventy-foot cutters, each
one mounting q one-pOunder rapid
fire gun. A couple of machine guns
and a squad Of expert rife men. IT
has A dozen more cutters on the
way here and is building a whole
f1otilla of high-speed motor boats
for use in patrolling the river.
Turn to Chicago
Thus Detroit, through which Sey-
mour LoWman, assistant secretary
of the treasury. once estimated that
IS per cent of the nations imported
liquor supply found its entry, is
being dried up.
Thus. while Detroit is growing
parched and arid. other cities such
as Chicago are getting even more
Canadian liquor than they got be-
fore.
Chicago'S supply, for instance. is
being brought across the upper end
Of Lake Erie and landed in obscure
CoveS and inletS on the Michigan
shore north of Toledo. where heavy
trucks wait to receive it and take
it overland to the market.
Similarly. some operators are
bringing their cargoeS over the line
north of Detroit. selecting landing
places on the shores of Lake st.
Clair or the Huron river.
Most Booze Came Through Detroit
Up until a short time ago the
situation was almost unhelievably
bad.
LoWman not only estimated that
50 per cent of the country's booze
came in through Detroit: he had
figures, furnished by the Canadian
customs men. to show that since
Jan. /. the runners have landed
1.523,750 gallons of liquor in De-

There would be signal men on

signal man would keep an eye on

had gone to the other end of its

Canadian side.
Instantly a speed boat would dart
otu and tear madly across the river.

thing We could do. tt would make
matters worse, instead of better.
However desperate our plight
may be with regard to our fast

that the solution Of the problem
does not lie in emigration to the
