Not only was Ohio misrepresented II
the list of names published by the Wash
ington Herald purporting to be those killed
in the enforcement of prohibition since
the adoption of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, but other states are in the same
boat. The Denver Post published the fol
lowing editorial on the Washington Her
aid and its list:
The Washington Herald, in an at
tempt to discredit prohibition, says,
1880 men, women, and children have
lost their lives through officials at
tempting to enforce the dry law with
the shotgun" in little less than 10
years. It declares in its story OF
Shotgun Prohibition" that "those
1850 deaths have been recorded def
initely as those in which it is known
that prohibition enforcement was di-
rectly at ISSUE" And 1t states that
"in every case one or more sworn Oh
ficers of the law, or their agents, were
involved as principals, either as the
killers or the killed"
The Washington HeruId'S EXPOSE"
is O. fair sample of booze propaganda.
Of course, the Herald wouldn't DELHI
erately misrepreSent the facts. Evi-
IDENTIFY, the enemies of prohibition have
filled it full of transformation. If the
rest of the Herald's story of shotgun
prohibition" is as inaccurate as its
record of prohibition killings" in
in Denver, it is not worth the paper
upon which it is printed -
The Herald lists eight Denver kill
ings in which it says prohibition en-
forcement was directly at issue and in
which one or more sworn officers of
the law, or their agents, were involved.
The incontrovertible fact is that pro-
hibition enforcement had nothing to
do with at least four of these eight
killings.
Here are the victims listed by the
Herald as having been killed in pro-
hibition enforcement In Denver; Nor
man Gould, who was beaten to death
with baseball bat by Mrs. Mike
Rossi; Charles L. Ohler, murdered by
persons unknown: Patrolman Richie
Rose, assasSinated by persons un-.
known; julius Perkins, shot by Patrol
man Roy Robinson; Dan Edwards.

CAUSED A CONNECTION
Even President Hoover Took Notice
of Congressman Forts Home
Brew Speech

Congressman Fort, of New Jersey, for
mer secretary of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, and, according to
newspapers, a warm personal friend OF
President Hoover, caused a connection
within as we'll as without the White
House by making a speech in Congress in
which he advocated prohibition for the
drys and home brew for the vets. Fort
succeeded in getting on both sides of the
question without satisfying the partisans
of either.
The wet papers threw a fit in their
manifestations of joy Fort, a friend OF
Hoover, in favor Of home brew? These
wet papers jumped to the conclusion that
Fort was speaking for Hoover. One paper
had headline, HOOVER FAVORS
HOME BREW The White House made
public this statement:
"Mr. Fort stated correctly when he said
he was giving only his own views. There
was no occasion for him to consult the
White House on his speech and he did not
do So"
Most of Forts speech was as dry as II
made by the head Of the Anti-Saloon
League or the w. G. T. u, but he did
suggest that the people have right I'M
der the Eighteenth Amendment and Vol
stead act to make home brew-not to
sell, but for use in the home. Right
there, Fort and the drys separate and so
do many vets.

WET LIST FAR FROM ACCURATE

man Harry K Ohle, killed by Eddie
Ives; Mrs. Louvenla Reese, killed by
Eddie Ives; Patrolman r. K Evans,
killed by Farcie King.
Gould was trying to rob Mrs. Rossi.
Neither he nor she was an officer nor
an officers agent. No enforcement OF
any law was involved in this killing.
Ohler was murdered and robbed Of
$500 to $40O. There was no attempt
at prohibition enforcement connected
with the crime.
Edwards was killed while resisting
arrest. The officer said Edwards was
drunk. But men got drunk ard re-
sisted arrest long before prohibition
was heard of.
The Herald says. Evans, police
man, was killed by Eddie Ives" That
is sample of fact garbling by wet
propagandiSts. Farcie King shot
Evans to death as he lay In the Den
yer General Hospital He had thrown
her over years before and she got even
with him by killing him. For that
crime she Is now under sentence to
serve life in the penitentiary.
The Herald evidently wants to Gre
ate the opinion that the killing OF
1850 persons in 10 years of prohibi-
ton enforcement is justification for
the repeal of the dry law. Suppose
1850 persons have been killed. That
Is 1876 a year. Booze caused more
murders than that long before any,
body ever thought of prohibition. It
Is not prohibition enforcement that
results in murders; it Is prohibition
violation that is the real cause.
Suppose partial enforcement OF pro-
hibition does cost 1856 lives a year.
Partial enforcement of the law against
highway robbery results In many more
murders than that. Automobiles kill
hundreds for every one slain as a re-
suit of prohibition. Are we going to
repeal the law against highway rob-
berry and stop the manufacture Of
automobiles? Are we going to encour-
age booze murders on wholesale scale
Just to stop a few prohibition killings?
Are we going to legalize the sale Of
whisky Just to make the booze traf1c
safe for hootleggerS and the human
scum who want to traffic In poiSon2

BEETHAM ISSUES WARNING
Druggists and Confectionery Oper-
ators Prohibited From Selling ia
maica Ginger for Beverage

State Prohibition Commissioner Bee
than has issued warning to druggists
and confectionery operators in Ohio to
stop the sale of Jamaica ginger for beVer-
age purposes.
The commissioner says that the state
prohibition agents and county and city Of
ficials are now on the watch for any one
guilty of selling Jamaica ginger or similar
compounds for beverage purposes. Ar
rests will be made wherever the practice is
followed.
Commissioner Beetham was notified
that the Clermont County courts had
fined confectioner at Batavia $1,000 and
that agents had started paddock proceed
ings for his second conviction for the sale
of Jamaica ginger.

THE JUDGE SPEAKS
And He Tells Some Truths About
Greater Obedience to Law

Federal Judge Alderman, of Florida, In
dismissing a jury after two weeks work
on prohibition cases, told the jurors he
saw the danger to the basic structure OF
the United States in "the growing idea
that people can say what laws to obey
and what laws not to obey"
1.-THE prohibition law is no creature OF
mine" he said. 1.-THE ablest attorneys in
the country have made every conceivable
attack upon it. but it has been sustained
by the highest body Of law in the United
States, and no citizen has any right to
say which law to obey.
eff we fall down for one minute In up
holding the laws we weaken this country
of ours and II we continue to weaken the
country we face ruin. There is no fear OF
this country going to pieces from outside
causes. But if we don't take care of the
laws of our country it will meet the fate
that overcame Rome"

PLEDGED TO ABSTAIN
Bill Which Provides New Oath for
All Government Officials

The announcement Of Attorney General
Mitchell that hereafter non-drinkers and
persons in sympathy with the dry law viii
be appointed to posts in the Justice De-
partment having to do with dry enforce
ment, and the knowledge that applicants
for such places are being carefully scruti-
iized, Is being generally commended by
officials and the people.
Congressman Stone, of Oklahoma, thinks
the plan of Mitchell Is SO good 1t should
be made to apply to all officials and en-
ployees Of the government, and has In
Produced a bin which provides that all
oaths administered to public officials
elected or appointed shall be as follows:
That 7 will support the Constitu-
ton of the United States against all
enemies foreign and domestic; that
will bear true faith and allegiance to
the same; that I will obey all laws OF
the United States now In fofrce, or
hereafter enacted; that do not use,
nor win use intoxicating liquor, or
narcotics In any form; that take
this obligation freely without any
mental reservation, or purpose Of eva
sion, and that win wen and faith

Stole to Help Sport.

Jules dresser, accused of stealing
100000 francs from his employers In
Paris, told the court that he took the
money TO encourage sport in France.
1t was proved that dresser had founded
an Athletic Union, on which he had
spent his own fortune as we'll as the
stolen funds. The court denied his
plea for 1eniency and sentenced him to
four years in prison.
