or the effort of the press to play up fight
ing as a stimulus to sale?
This spirit has been given full play in
discussions of prohibition, as here illus
trated.
I'VE need to create new respect for rep
resentativeS, enforcement officials and
others entrusted with the task of proaibi
ton enforcement. Many of our officials
have been shot down in cold blood, run
over by high powered cars, burned to
death by high voltage wires, poisoned and
killed in every conceivable way devilish
ingenuity can devise to destroy. Facing
such men, our officials have been told not
to shoot or to do bodily injury except as
q last resort. When some of them have
fired on men resisting arrest they have
been put on trial for murder in the first
degree.
Contrast this to the postal depart
ment. When Will Hays became post
master general there had been one holdup
of the mails, on mail carriers or robberies
of a postoflce, day for q year. Mr.
Hays first order was that every mail
carrier be armed that he fire at the first
senblance or attempt to interfere with
the mails and 81 900 offered for the cap
ture, dead or alive, of anyone interfering
with the mails. The results we're magical
Not an attempt was made to interfere
with the mails for eight and one-half
months"
Mr.. lifting thinks that Eve need Hayses
in the prohibition department" Is it not
rather that we need a spirit of justice and
reasonableness in press and people?

LESS SMUGGLING OF FRENCH
WINES
WINES

A United Press story carrying Paris
dateline Of December 20, announces the
publication Of government figures which
show that French wine and liquor ship
ments to the islands of st. Pierre and
Miquelon, which have been blamed for
much of the rum-running along the
United States Atlantic coast have dropped
two-thiros during the year 1890 In the
first eleven months Of 1890 there we're but
233,100 quarts Of all sorts of alcoholic bev-
erages shipped compared with 685800
quarts in 1929.
The French officials suggest that Aneri-
cans must be drinking less The sharp de-
cline has resulted in greatly reduced liquor
revenue.

WHERE THE INCREASED DRINKING
REGISTERS?

I"worker's Speakeasy' by Writing
Williams in the Graphic Surrey, February
1891
Not in the speakeasies of the workers
world at least not in Homestead where
Mr.. williams, disguised as a workman, en-
deavored to get the facts concerning pro-
hibition among the unemployed. He had
known Homestead in 1919 and the speak
easies there now handle in a day less hq-
uor and money than went over a single
bar in a single morning back in 1919. But
where once the beer truck rumbled now
rolls "truckload after truckload Of soft
drinks. alongside still others of bottled
milk! No one can observe these signs of
industry's changing mores without being
prepared to learn that carbonated bever-
ages, mainly at nickel bottle, will total
fifteen billion half-pintS this year, and are
increasing each year steadily TO the tune
of a cool-in fact. an ice-cold-billion."
Not all of the change is credited TO pro-
hibition. Abolition of the thirteen-hour
night shift and the twelve-hour day
helped. So also did the flivyer, the movies
and the radio.
Among the numerous benefits from our
present effort to control John Barley
corn" the efficiently organized" enforce
ment of which is not yet two years old,
Mr. Williams names the "cushioning of
vast proportions against the impact of
current unemployment"
OF special current application also to
the proposal to furnish employment by
opening up the breweries is his remark
that "as long rs we are anxious To con-
serve to the utmost the productive power
of the mass citizen, then we'd best be at
least careful about monkeying with plan
which, whatever its faults, has undoubt-
edly transferred during recent years, and
especially recent months, more than few
hundred millions of dollars from alcohol
to gasoline, shoes, and bathtubS."
In the course of his Investigations he
was told some encouraging facts by the
prohibition enforcement agents Bootleg
gers when cornered are not so ready to try
bribing. which speaks well for the quality
of the agents as does also their success in
obtaining convictions of big bootleggers."
It will take time Mr. Williams thinks, to
reach the small diStilleries in stables and
garages but, anticipating the report of the
Wickersham commission which was not
yet out when he reported his investiga-
ton, he hoped 1t would think it worth
while to counsel longer trial of present
efforts, just what the commission did.

CATHOLICS AND PROHIBITION
By P. H. CALLAHAN
Secretary, Association of Catholics
FdUortng Prohibition
BY p. H. CALLAHAN
(Article Number Three


Nowhere is the story Of liquor in the
United States better told than in the
Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume Il, page
400. Here is the story:
"The first temperance work in the
United States was due to q reactlon
against intemperance which threatened to
make the Americans a nation Of drunk
ards. The eliminating period Of inten-
perance was the rs years between 1850 and
1925. Nearly everyone drank intoxicating
liquor It was the family beverage. 1t was
the prevailing mark of hospitality. 1t was
regarded as a discourtesy, even an insult,
to refuse it. AT all functions public and
private, social and commercial, sacred and
solemn, intoxicating beverages were used.
Not only was liquor regarded as indiSpen-
sable on such occasions but the erroneous
belief prevailed that no hard work could
be accomplished without the stimulating
glass. L2borers and mechanics were pro-
Vided with their quota OF liquor twice q
day at the sound of the toWn-bell that
summoned them regularly at IL and
O'Clock. The farmer stipulated with his
help when he hired them for harvest that
they were to receive certain amount OF
Spirits which was generally whisky or
New England rum. Strong liquor was sup
posed to make strong men.
This superstition was not questioned
until the fatal effects of drinking habits
were evident in the multitude who went
down to drunkards' graves. Intemperance
was widespread, increasing day by day.,
until it reached its climax at the close OF
the Revolutionary war. Congress furnished
the colonial troops with liquor to
strengthen them in the hardsllips of war
The soldiers returned to their homes and
added to the wave OF drunkenness that
rose high and spread far and wide
The year 1910 gave birth to the Washing
tonisn Temperance Society, total absti-
hence organization, which began at Balti-
more with six members and grew to &c.,
900. In time, two-thirds of this large So
ciety fell away. Other societies lost men,
bers, and men who regarded teetotalism
as the sovereign remedy of intempcrance,
turned their attention from the drinker
and the drunkard to the dealer in liquor,
whose livelihood depended on the drinker,
and inaugurated another phase Of tenn
perance reform, which eventually took the
shape Of prohibition
All of which goes to show that you can
not preach temperance. and you cannot
regulate liquor, successfully. It must be
stamped out, or it will Chinafy the United
States. Whisky does not surrender with
one knockout, any more. than snake dies
with one scotch.

IT WOULD BE ODD INDEED

["Aanerican Prohibition" Spectator,
London, January "a, 1891.
After this report (the Wickersham
commission reporO the drys will be
totally on the defensive. Tt will be case
for them Of saving what they can. There
is sure to be food of schemes for liquor
control. No doubt we shall hear much
more about the admission of drink with
a relatively low alcoholic content. But if
the revision of the. amendment should be
confined. as some propose, to altering the
definition of alcoholic drink SO as to
legalize beer and wine, the United States
would be in the odd position of declaring
that that upon which man can get
drunk is not intoxicating"

CLOSES JAIL

According to an Associated Press dis
patch of recent date from Woodhill, New
York, that town has decided to close it's
jail-a portable wooden structure. The
community boasts of record of twelve
consecutive crimeleSs months and during
the last year the jail has been used only
by tramps seeking shelter.

WHEN WE LOOK AT LAW CANDIDLY

["The Call of Christ to Law Accept
ance," by p Whitwel Wilson in the
Christian Advocate, February S, 1911
There is ring Of honesty in this way
of looking at laws whose intent, purpose
and results are human welfare, that con-
trasts forceably with much current, flip
pant, criticism of measures which after
long consideration, public spirited ma
jorities have thought advisable.
"'They are laws for the safeguarding of
children's life and health. They are laws
that liberate women from work at niglE.
They are laws that ensure compensation
for accidents They are laws, based on
the science of health, they apply limit
to the hours of labor in day. They are
laws that ensure full gallon of gas to
the motorist when he pays for it and a
full pound of sugar to the housewife.
These laws are no more an interference
with the individual than was the bill Of
rights. They are the Magma Charta of
commercial democracy.
go with prohibition. Suppose it be an
intolerable grievance on the individual.
After all, the subject is the good of the
community, and no honest inquirer into
the facts can deny that great good has
been achieved"
But a Scandinavian professor who has
thought profoundly on the subject has
reached the conclusion that prohibition
of alcoholic liquors is an emancipation Of
the personality, because alcohol renders
the brain incapable Of exercising it. He
considers 1t an error to speak of the pro-
hibition of alcohol as a sacrifice of the
individual for the good Of the community.

G"Facing Facts of National Prohibi-
tion," by Henry w. Tiffing in the Watch

One of the painful impressions one
gains from our public press is that the

pant. No where is it worse than on the
floors of congress. What is the explana-

COUNTY POLICE.
PLAN NINE |

ROCKVILLE, Md, Feb. 10.-The
Montgomery County Police De
partment may soon be represent
ed by a baseball team, if present
plans materialize.
Sergt. Earl Burdine, of Takoma
Park, is one of the most active
men behind the movement to
place the officers on the sports
map. He maintains that there
are several good players to be
found among the Rockville. Beth
esda, and Silver Spring men.
Application will be made for
a franchise in the Montgomery
County League and games with
the District teams may pe sched-
uled. Although the team is pri-
narily intended for policemen
any players who wish 70 perform
with the team are invited to re-
port for the organization meeting
to be held February 20, at the
Takoma Park police station.
The Washington times., 1931-02-10

1925 was Maryland's greatest
year, when it won IA of the 16
games. Navy, Princeton, Wash
ington College, West Virginia and
North Carolina, which later won
the Southern Conference title, be-
ing numbered among it's victims.
Bill Supplee, Artie Boyd, Buddy
Ensor, Mike Stevens, Jack Faber,
Fred Linkous, Lee Cardwell,
Chiefly Beatty and Walter Troxell
were among the letter men of
that quint.
Maryland has the edge on all
the four teams it is meeting this
week, excepting Washington Col
lege, which has won three of the
five contests with the Old Liners
Maryland holds a 5-to-4 edge on
North Carolina, has beaten Vir-
ginia eight out of IA games, they
meeting twice most every season,
and has a clean slate of four
wins over Western Maryland.
One of Virginia's wins was the
upset the Old Liners received
at Charlottesville recently and
the Old Liners are determined to
get even.

RIDER COLLEGE
FACES c. v.

The powerful Rider College five
Of Trenton, N. j., tonight will
bid for its thirteenth straight tri-
umph when Coach Jimmy Pix
lees George Washington Univer-
Sity basketers are engaged in the
G. w. gym, 1920 H st. N. W., at
8:15 o'clock.
The Trenton collegians added
their twelfth victim in a row by
easily scoring over Catholic Uni
versity, 32-19, in the c. U. gym.
They thus increased their point
total to 586 or an average of 40
per game. However, opponents
have counted 323 points for an
average of 27 per game.
OutcIassing Georgetown Uni
versity in the final half, West
Virginia sprawIed the Hilltop
pers, 1929, in the Tech High
gym last night. The Noun
taineerS were too tall for the

Picks Four Pitchers

Besides our own Walter John
son, Tener goes right out on a
limb for Christy Mathewson,
Rube Waddell and Grover
Cleveland Alexander as the pick
of the crop since baseball COM
menced. How do you like those
four?
Hal Chase is Tener's pick for
first base.
Larry Lajoie for second.
Jimmy Collins for third-and
Hans Wagner for short.
Fred Clarke gets the left
field berth, Ty Cobb center and
Babe Ruth right.
Isn't that a team? If you
were a manager of a major
league baseball club, would you
have any forebodings about
going out after a pennant with
four hurlers like that and a
team made up of Chase, Lajo!e,
Collins, Wagner, Clarke, Cobb,
Ruth and Ewing?
And speaking of Walter John
son, he'll soon be getting ready
to head south with his 1881
edition of the washington
Griffmen, of whom much is
being expected by Capital fan
dom.
