WHERE RESPONSIBILITY LIES

We need not be on the defensive in this
matter. The full statistical facts should
be used, not merely those since 1920.
Even more important is it TO drive home
to thinking people and to drinking peo-
ple-the groups are not necessarily mu-
tually excluSiVe-the following truths:
l. The sole cause OF alcoholism is al
coholic liquor Good" liquor as well as
poor liquor causes it.
2. The law was responsible for alco-
holiSm deaths before state and national
prohibition, for it authorized the traffic
in alcoholic liquors.
3. Prohibition-or the man who voted
for it's not responsible for alcoholism
deaths now. Prohibition forbidS this
traffic in alcoholic liquors.
4. Alcoholism now results from DELHI
crate refusal to avail oneself of the pro-
lection the law would afford Nobody
need die of alcoholism to-day.
s.. Every man who encourages the sale
of liquor is promoting death from alco-
holism. He may not die of it himself.
Even if he does, his death may not be SO
recorded. But when he encourages the
bootlegger, he helps make possible the
sale of liquor to some other men also
whose deaths will go into the alcoholism
mortality column.
g. The prohibition law offers protec-
ton against alcoholism.
Observe this law, encourage its OBJ
observance, and alcoholism, as state ex-
perience and national experience of 1920
demonstrate, can be made practically to
disappear.

BRITISH AMBASSADOR WILLING TO MAKE EMBASSY DRY
Says Secretary Desires Rescind PveG
O Diplomatic Liquor" He Believes British Embassy
Will Gladly Accede to Wishes

of the prohibition act, and regard 1t as
an insult. Would you therefore take the
necessary steps to accept the proposition
of Ambassador Howard as he outlines it
in his letter which I enclose, and make
Washington a moral city?"
The Howard letter as made public by
Carter was signed by Michael Wright,
secretary of the embassy, who said:
"Dear Mr.. Garter: His excellency, the
British ambassador, desires me to thank
you for your letter with the clipping en-
closed Ca picture of diplomatic liquor
truck, and to assure you that he is not
aware of any DIR dnkenness in the embassy
due to the righ2s of diplomats in import
ing liquor intJ the United States. His
excellency wishes me to state that this
privilege was voluntarily granted to the
entire diplomatic liquor corps by the sec
rotary of state.
His excellency has no doubt but that
Il the government of the United States
would formally suggest that this privilege
be withdrawn, the suggestion would be
cheerfully accepted and promptly and
scrupulously adhered to-"

PROHIBITION NOT A FAILURE
Congressman Stalker, of New York,
Pays Tribute of Praise to
Prohibition Policy

Congressman Stalker, of New York, CO.
author of the Jones-Stalker dry enforce
ment law was given a testimonial dinner
at his home city, Elnira, recently In the
course OF his remarks at the dinner he
said
National prohibition in America is not
a failure, nor is it going TO be.
The time has come for loyal citizens
of the republic to speak plainly on this
question.
NO brighter hour ever daWned for
this nation and the world than when the
United States adopted national prohibi-
ton. 1t has been reflected in the most
amazing economical development ever
witnessed on this globe. Prohibition
United States is the richest, the happiest,
and the most progressive country of the
present and all other times, glory and
light for all humanity.
Since the adoption of the Eighteenth
Amendment the number of students in
our high schools have more than doubled.
We have more students enrolled in our
colleges to-day than all the rest of the
world combined
THE American people do not favor any
surrender to the bootlegger or to the
brewer. This nation has never retreated.
1t is not in its mind to permit criminals
and lawbreakerS to revise its ConStitu-
ton and repeal its laws. 1t demands that
those in authority attack the foes of law
and order 1t wants its officers supplied
with whatever legal machinery is neces-
sary to win this fight. want to ask you
what would be the condition of this coun-
try in single fortnight if every law dis
pleasing to a considerable number of peo-
pie were disregarded, some disregard one
law and some disregard another. Whose
home would be safe, whose happiness
would be secure, how long would we en-
JOY the blessings of orderly regulated lib
erty?"

The FROTH OF SOCIETY

DR.. William J. Mayo, of Rochester,
Minnesota, the internationally known
surgeon and physician, in an interview on
the outlook of human life the other day
in Los Angeles declared that only the
froth of society is really opposed to pro-
hibition in America, and that the great
bulk of our population is quite satisfied
with it. Moreover" he said "from the
point of view in health there never has
been any question but that abstinence
from alcoholic drink proves extremely
beneficial"
Water is the best drink there is, &C
cording to DR.. Mayo. That is provided
it is good water which most municipal
ties now furnish their inhabitants. +"
Vienna he said the consumption of al
cohol dropped off forty per cent upon the
introduction of q good water supply.

TWO REASONS BY FIRE
STONE

Harvey S. Firestone, the wel-known
tire manufacturer of Akron, told mem
bers of the Boston Chamber of Com
merce at a luncheon recently, that prohi-
bition and highway transportation are
the two major reasons for the great pros
perity of the United States. He declared
that he favors the Eighteenth Amend
ment and he urged business men and the
public to observe and enforce the law.
In outlining radical changes for the
better in industry under prohibition Mr.
Firestone declared that there was not the
same contentment in factories nor the
happiness and uplifting conditions
among the workers before prohibition as
there is to-day.

among Metropolitan Life policy holders
in the United States is responsible to a
small extent for higher alcoholism rate
here than in Canada.
WHERE ALCOHOLISM MORTALITY
is WORST
If space permitted, one might profit
ably analyze alcoholism mortality in
some detail showing where it is now
worst and where it is rising most rapidly.
few salient facts must suffice, based
upon the latest available statistics of the
United States Census Bureau in 1927.
Where lDdS alcoholism mortality aDorSt
in 1927? In Maryland, Montana and New
York. The lowest rate of these three is
nearly 10 per cent higher than that of
any other date in the registration areas;
80 per cent higher than the national rate,
Maryland has never had state enforce
ment law had the worst rate of any of
the states in both 1926 and 1927; and has
shown heaviest percentage of increase
over 1920. New York has had no state
enforcement law for six years. In Mon
tana, 1927 was the first year after the
repeal of its law. It's death rate jumped
from SO in 1926 to 81 in 1927
New York, in 1927, had about 8.8 per
cent of the estimated population of the
registration area; over 10 per cent of the
reported alcoholism deaths. New York
and Maryland together had about 10 per
cent of this population; % per cent of
the alcoholism deaths.
Twenty-four states, in 1927, had less
than so alcoholism deaths each. Their
combined population was about 81 times
that of New York. They furnished $50
alcoholism deaths; New York, $40. Eight
cen of them were former prohibition
states.
True, New York has a great urban pop
ulation in which alcoholism is always
higher, but in 1920 its alcoholism death
rate dropped from pre-prohibtion rates
even little more than did the nations
rate.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE CAN BE
DONE AGAIN
The writer has no desire to minimize
regrettable rise in alcoholism mortality
in the United States since 1920. 1t is not
satisfactory state of affairs. There
were about $4,000 alcoholism deaths dur
ing the first seven prohibition years that
need not have occurred had this low rate
of 1920 continued. But that first year of
national prohibition demonstrated what
prohibition can do in cutting down this
death loss. What has been done can be
done again.
The lesson from the present alcoholism
mortality figures is not that prohibition
has failed or is causing more of these
deaths. 1t has saved and is saving lives
from such death. The lesson is that al
coholism can be nearly wiped out if pro-
hibition is given a fair chance.
