a long time to run its course. re-
coveries requiring from two

the symptoms indicate the early
stages of tuberculosis while
others, occurring at almost the

BISHOP Cannon
. FAILS To GAIN

The exhaustion and weakness
in Bishop James Cannon, jr., is
causing his physicians q great
deal Of concern, they admitted
today.
The Southern Methodist cleric
has been confined to Sibley Hos
pital for three weeks suffering
from a severe attack of neuritis,
inflammatory arthritis and ner-
veus disorders.
While the spread Of the arthri-
tis has been checked, the ptysi-
clans stated that so far the
bishop has failed to make any
gain. The three weeks of inten-
sive pain has weakened him
greatly, it was said.
The doctors look for improve
ment at any time now, however,
but expect it will be a long time
before the bishop is cured.
When he entered the institu-
ton it was thought he would be
there at least eight weeks, but
it is said now that it will be
considerably longer before he is
able to leave.

XXTHAT might have been the re-
w suit if we had dealt sanely
with the problem, as in England?
England, by limiting the hours OF
sale, by strict supervision of IL
censes, and by high taxation, has
made marvellous strides toward pro-
hibition, while the United States
has piled intemperance upon intem-
.perance under prohibition.
Under the English system, con-
victions for drunkenness in England
and Wales we're cut from 88,887 in
1913 to 55,642 in 1923.
The revenues on spirits, beer and
wines were increased from $685.
1872, BAT in 1913 to f136, 1872, 965 in 1928
During the same period the con-
sumption Of spirits was reduced
from 3d. 1896, 426 gallons to- 14,500,8Sz
gallons, or from II Of a gallon pei
capita to 80. Consumption of beef
was reduced from 1883, 1857 barrels
to 26, ,325 barrels. There has
been a Slight increase in the con-
sumption of wine.
A comparison of the results of ar
asinine prohibition policy in the
United States with a sensible reg
ulation policy in England will make
all sane people blush with shame.
THERE are other costs of prohi.
l. bition in addition to the ex-
pense of the federal government. Il
is estimated that 1t is costing the
state governments, including loss o.
revenues, something like $500 ,000,0 0C

ment activities Of the coast guard,
the customs and the prohibition
unit to prevent manufacture, sale,
transportation, importation and eX-
p~ortation of intoxicating liquor Tor
beverage use.
In addition, it is losing, on the
basis of 1919 collections, s4o3,0OO,OOO
a year in revenues.
It may be said, therefore, that the
federal government is spending the
equivalent Of 8 5,0o0,oO0 a year on
prohibition enforcement.
For what purpose? To save the
lives of the 1857 who killed them
selves by overindulgence in alcohol
in 1919. and to prevent the 31o,269
from getting enough alcohol to get
drunk again?
TN 1928, as ohown by census bureau
i reports. there we're 4.627 deaths
from alcoholism, and the rate had
increased TO 4 per 100000 OF popula-
ton.
BY 1927, the arrests for drunken
ness in the same 388 cities had in
creased from 80 269 to 557,369.
Since adoption Of prohibition,
there has been a progressive in
crease in both deaths from alco-
holism and drunkenness. So the
problem, whether great or small, is
much worse than at the beginning.
The comparative insignificance OF
the alcohol problem is reflected &C
curately in the fact that while there
we're but 1867 deaths from alcohol
ism in 1919, there were 1,096,436
deaths from all causes in the
United States.

In this matter of local enforce

ARTICLE SEVENTEEN
What Price Prohibition?


THE value of any legislative ex-
Il pertinent, whether noble in mo-
tive or otherwise, can be measured
only by its cost and its result.
Prohibition was put forth as a
cure for the evils Of intemperance.
To determine whether 1t is worth
the price we are paying, let US first
consider the magnitude Of the prob
lem of intemperance.
Was the United States so sodden
that it was necessary to enact a
constitutional amendment to save
its citizens from their own folly?
Were the people killing themselves
with alcohol? Were the states so
debauched. that they could not deal
with this, as with all other social
crimes?
If we go back to the record Of the
census bureau for 1919, the last
year before the effective date Of the
national prohibition enforcement
act. we find that just 1857 persons
in the United States drank them
selves to death. That was 1.6 per-
sons per 100000 of population.
Records of the police departments
of 388 principal cities Of the United
States show that 310,269 arrests
we're made for drunkenness IL thai
year.
Those figures fairly measure the
magnitude of the problem as it ex-
listed Immediately before the Law
went into effect.

The other two died within an hour.
Duff did not stop after striking

canoe Of the problem. even under
prohibition, further is shown by the
fact that in 1923 while there were
4,627 deaths from alcoholism, there
were 1,37S,675 deaths from all
causes.
If you consider the fact that the
government is spending and wasting
$3.50, 100000 a year to save the lives
Of the 1857 who drank themselves
to death in 1919 and appropriating
only s10,000,0 900 a year to have the
lives of the 1,378,678 who died from
all causes in 1923, as well as for the
protection Of the health of the 120,-
100000 living persons, you will get a
picture Of the legislative folly upon
which the country has embarked.
IF we turned the picture the other
L way around and spent for the
protection of the health and hap
piness Of all the people against the
ravages of diseases which, unlike the
folly of drunkenness, are not self
inflicted, but afflict myriads who
are in no way responsible for their
condition, these enormous sums
frittered away DON prohibition en-
forcement. the investment would be
worth while.
Diseases most destructive to hui
man life are heart disease, pneu-
monia, nephritis, cancer, t~uberculo-
sis and influenza. These scourgeS took
a toll of 710,527 lives in 1923.
Suppose the $4,000, 000, 900 or $10,-
000, 900, 900 frittered away on worse
than useless prohibition in the last
ten years had been spent in medical
research to save the lives of the
people who die from diseases really
destructive of human life.
Who can say what might have
been accomplished Would &c.,
600, O00, 900 be too much to pay fol
another Louis PaSteur, who might
produce a cure or preventive remedy
for cancer? For tuberculosis? Fol
