National Prohibition Brings
Three Problems To Be Solved
Fain, of the most earnest and prom
jr, •. • men In New York have formed
an association for the study of what
[v., consider one of the gravest prob
lems ;he nation has to solve. That i*
a substitute for the saloon.
They are not approaching the sub
Ie. - v. ith any false notions. They
;r.ov. what a bane and source of deg
gs .i’ioi’ the saloon has h/en. They
k'.fw also the saloon has been a focal
^nint, a social center, for millions of
pci sons. Tiny know that to many
men home means little more than a
alar.- in which to eat and sleep and
(hai the majority of men have not the
resources within themselves for ra
tional nervation a* amusement. THoy
know that llqupi drinking Is a hnhlt
h-inderl down through the ages, and
11 j’ n legal enactment a custom so
d< rol> rooted through centuries can
no he cured unless something takes
Its dure th.iT is nearly as satisfactory.
f;o\.-romen* officials at Viashinff
ton have no doubt that nation-wide
prohibition is going to precipitate one
of iii- grans' situations this country
lies faced. They have no chart to
guide their course, for this Is the first
grea country to adopt prohibition.
Ruisiii excepted, and that does not
count.
Thn are making provision to meet
the situation as best they can but
tlieic i xperience thus far serves onlv
to imike ihem appreciate the magni- ■
tilde of the job they have to handle.
The south — practically all of it—Is
officially "dry." >ot never has there
been ;o much moonshlning In the
south i's since prohibitory laws went
Into effect there and whiskey—vile
whiskev in sold clandestinely, despite
tile law Ucinuse It t ffers profit uti~,
dreamt of In former times, moonshin
Ini, has lid'ii taken up l>y men who
never i uguged In it before.
The government found whiskey so
plentiful in army camps in the south
tbst it was forced to act. It formed,
ui. ler t otonel Iiantel I'orter, what is
lu own as the "flying squadron," «
special force which has cooperated
wi i state bodies to roinbat the evll.
Ne irly 600 illicit stills have been de
stroyed by the raiders within seven
mouths. Hundreds of moonshiners
ha\. been sent to prison. Other hun
dreds await trial. Fcores of men,
ainarg them sturiffs and deputies,
blur been killed. Many others have
been wounded. There lias been a war
to miniature (about which little has
bc» ii heard) under way. while the big
war in Ktirope has been in its last
photo
To discover and destroy an Illicit
still in the mountains is simple com
pa.ed with finding It in the city. In
the mountains the smoke of the .still
can be seen far away end the smell of
liquor carries far where the atmos
phere Is pure. In a eity a still can
send Its smoko out through a tall
cb'mney flue, and a eity is a place of
a Vioiiraml mingling odors.
W hiskey making and beer making
do not require complicated machinery.
N me Mills are crude and cheap. The
Ti e government has raided places ill
w liich w hiskey, or what passed for
whiskty, was made In an old ice cream
ft' rwr. t’sually the paraphernalia is
little more than some copper kettles,
til.- "worm" or pipes and the cooling
vr '.sola.
Moonsliining is going to play a large
port In the news of ihc country after
July 1 next. It is going to be known
wi>."it* it never was established before.
It ;s going to be widespread In every
great city.
Drug addiction Is a more Insidious
ami grisly evil than liquor drinking.
Il is slated on authority of govern
ment officials that ili» re are 1,000,000
known drug addicts In America and It
Is estimated that there are 600,000
perrons w ho ate secr« t uddlcts.
Nearly every criminal is a drug ad
d*--i. There is a direct relationship
between drug addiction and crime.
Tlie drug addict will pemnitt any act
tn Order to get money to buy drugs.
Of all the "dope”—cocaine, morphine,
G| turn, heroin, etc.—heroin Is the
worst and vilest. Of the 600,000 He
rret addicts most have become victims
through not having the physical or
moral strength to stop the use of drugs
to w hich they had become accustomed
tn a serious or painful illness.
It Is betraying no confidence to say
the government officials who have
studied the questions of liquor ami
drugs fear nation-wide prohibition will
spread the drug evil.
Tlie experiences from partial prohi
bition give slight basis for calculation
as to the effect of total prohibition.
There is a lot of liquor consumed In
"dry" slates. One northern state fur
nishes an example. To check the flow
of liquor into that state, railroad em
—inY£Siew-W) iriTpottce pow
er. sncT to stir their ardor, they shared
111 the fines imposed or the money oh
talned from coaflsrxK d wet goods .
In the principal station of the lead
ing city of the state the baggage mas
ter so that he could open everything,
bought every kind aiid variety of key.
Ho captured Iota of whiskey and. for
a time, profited at the rate of $200 a
•ay.
A howl want up from the traveling
public, for the baggage man waa aa am
afduous In hunting whiskey that he
could not examine in one day all the
baggage that arrived, so he let It pile
I up. Travelers appealed to the ratl
j road administration. The state au
thorities were Inclined to back up the
baggage man aa an officer of the law.
but when such congestion and delay
! resulted aa to make many persons
I threaten suit or physical violence.
there waa a compromise.
I Now the search Is not so rigid
SAYS CZAR IS ALIVE
WARSAW. D o. 24. "There is iu>
doubt that flio exar and Ills entire
family are alive. I am noeit.vo of
tins," was Uii declaration made to the
^orrespomlcnt today by Michael do
J Tchlhatchcs, a nerhew of (Jcneral
| Bkoronadxkl, and who lias just escaped
frvtu tlio Ukraln after a recent trip to
Potrograii. Dvlnsk, V'lna and Rovno.
"1 cannot reveal where the exar is
because lie does not wish It.” he said.
“I p does not care to be bothered and
he wants to be left alone.”
"His whereabouts is known to an
allied government. It is in a neutral
country. Accounts of ills murder at
KkateruiKbui g were manufactured by
Trotsky and Renlne for propaganda
purpescs."
lie Juft Ahead for Those Proper
ly Prepared. A New Army
Must Be Recruited.
The ne**ds of Peace are as great as
the needs of TVar and we must have
young men and young women by' the
t\jr* to HU these needs.
As during Peace-times. Bookkeepers.
Stenographer* and Typists were of In
estimable value during war-times
They did tbetr part nobly In helping
to win the treat conflict.
The Government. as everybody
knows, has taken tens of thousands of
theae office workers away from their
Peace-time pursuits and will retain
many' thousands of them for years.
The ; up thus created must be filled
sp.-fcH y as normal conditions adjust
them..elves. A rew army of offl< e
workers must bo recruited with the
least possible delay.
Great opportunities He Just ahead
