toxicants cost the county approxi-
mately five dollars for every dollar of
revenue received from the liquor
traffic; and that 90 per cent. of the in-
mates of the almshouse were there
because of strong drink. The Board
of Public Charities of the State in
one of its reports made a similar
statement.
The Legislature of 1913 appropriat-
ed $2000 tor the purchase of a site for
a home for inebriates, and the Legis-
lature of 1917 appropriated an addi-
tional $200,000 for the home. One of
the dailies of the State in a recent is-
sue made this significant statement:
“Scarcely had the purchase of the land
been completed when the prohibition
amendment was added to the federal
constitution, and plans for the insti-
tution halted.”
Inebriates are the natural and usu-
al result of the licensed saloon; they
are its finished product. Pennsylva-
nia, left to herself, it seems, would
have continued to make inebriates,
and build homes in which to care for
them. Such a course, considered only
from the economic standpoint, is the
extreme of folly, and the economic
side is the least important phase of
the liquor question.
These testimonials to the liquor
traffic are all from Pennsylvania
sources. In view of them it certainly
cannot be a matter of State pride that
Pennsylvania was one of liquor’s last
strongholds in the United States, con-
tinuing to license the saloon when

Izzie Ginsberg, characterized as a
notorious dope peddler, is creating
about as much of a furore in Philadel-
phia as the settlement of the sesqui-
centennial celebration. Izzie was
tried before Judge Henry C. Quigley,
of Centre county, sitting in Philadel-
phia courts for Judge John M. Patter-
son in April, 1921, and on being con-
victed of using and trafficing in dope
was sentenced by Judge Quigley to
three years in the work house. Later
he was transferred to the county pris-
on and two weeks or more ago, at the
request of Mr. Patterson, was paroled
by Judge Quigley.
The district attorney’s office took
the matter up and naturally the news-
papers featured the story, charges be-
ing made that a large sum of money
was spent to obtain Ginsberg’s re-
lease. No reflection, however, was
made upon the courts in connection
with the expenditure of the money,
but so intense was the feeling creat-
ed that Judge Quigley was summoned
to Philadelphia on Monday to preside
at an inquiry as to whether Ginsberg
was entitled to parole, and whether
there was any big sum of money ex-
pended to secure his release.

POLITICS AND THE LIQUOR
INTERESTS.
By Margaret H. Barnett.
During the campaign which preced-
ed the recent primary election, a re-
port was circulated that large quan-
tities of liquor were to be used in some
of our large cities, to furnish political
arguments.
In commenting .on this report, a
prominent daily used the phrase, “Re-
calling the part which liquor and li-
quor money have played in past elec-
tions.”
This phrase, which is used in a very
matter-of-course way, is a serious ar-
raignment of the voters of the Key-
stone State. But little evidence is re-
quired, however, to prove its truth.
One need not be the “oldest inhab-
itant” to remember the days when a
“free bar” in a town, was a recognized
campaign measure.
Those not yet of legal age to cast a
vote might remember when a candi-
date ordered a supply of liquor for use
on election day, and workers at the
polling places used liquid arguments
to influence voters.
A man who had been active in the
fight against the granting of liquor li-
censes became a candidate for an im-
portant office in one of the counties of
the State, and was defeated. After
his defeat, an acquaintance in the
Capital city, who was a liquor man,
said to him, with a laugh, “Did you
think we would let you be elected ?”
During the time when judicial elec-
tions were non-partisan, in name, at
least, the issue in such elections was,
very often, “wet” or “dyy,” and the
newspapers chronicled, “Wets win in
such and such counties.” A man who
was avowedly “wet” was eleced asso-
ciate judge in one of the counties of
the State. At the license court a few
months later, the attorney for one of
the applicants for license declared in
open court, “The question of license in
this town was settled at the election
last fall.”
What is the nature of this traffic
which has played such an important
part in the elections of our State,
which has frequently had a dominant
part in the selection of our executives,
Legislators and Judges?
Mr. Justice Paxson said of it,—
“The unrestricted sale of liquor has
for a long time been regarded as a
great evil. It is one which statesmen,
and many earnest men and women
have been wrestling with from the
organization of the government.”
Justice Paxson was a judge of the
Supreme court of Pennsylvania, the
court of last appeal in the State.
From the very opposite extreme from
a legal standpoint, from the convicts
in the eastern penitentiary, comes a
testimony to the evil effects of the
liquor traffic. When a prohibitory
measure was before the Legislature
of 1915, those incarcerated in the pen-
itentiary sent a petition, signed by a
large percentage of the convicts, urg-
ing the passage of the prohibitory leg-
islation. In their petition they stated
that they believed that “fully 70 per
cent .of crime within the State is di-
rectly attributable to the excessive
use of intoxicaing liquors.” They
said also that many of them had a
“personal knowledge of its debasing
influence as exemplified in their own
lives.”
A business man’s view of the liquor
traffic was given by A. B. Farquhar,
of York, Pa., in an article in Harper's
Weekly. He said, “If you want to
benefit the working man, encourage
economy; attack the drink habit,
which is the greatest curse upon la-
bor. The money wasted in alcohol,
which is a poison, and should be whol-
ly suppressed, if saved would enable
he workmen to own most of the busi-
ness enterprises of the country within
ten years.”
Mr. Farquhar was a prominent
manufacturer and exporter for more
than half a century, and was, there-
fore, very familiar with working men,
and their needs.
The board of poor directors of Dau-
phin county stated in one of its re-
ports that the results of the sale of in-
bition came, and all the rest but four
were partly “dry” under local option
laws, some of them 50 to 75 per cent.
It cannot be pointed to with pride
that the Brooks High License law is
still on the statute books of the State,
and that the only prohibition enforce-
ment act is the Woner Act, an amend-
ment of the Brooks law. Attorney
General Alter, who drafted the Woner
Act, disclaimed responsibility for it,
and Representative Woner, who intro-
duced it in the House, made his cam-
paign for re-nomination as a candi-
date for the Legislature on his repu-
diation of the Act which bears his
name, and which a prominent daily
calls “The most vicious piece of State
legislation passed in our day.”
The results of the unholy alliance
between politics and the liquor inter-
ests have not been gratifying. Why
should such an alliance be allowed to
continue? It has been broken to a
great extent by national prohibition.
It remains for the voters of the State
to end it altogether.
The Woner Act is but a legal cam-
ouflage behind which boot-legging
flourishes. Let the voters of the State
investigate carefully where candidates
for the Legislature stand on prohibi-
tion enforcement, and vote according-
Prohibition is here, and it is here to
stay, as even liquor men admit. It
must be enforced. Its enforcement is
of great importance for its own sake,
and it is of great importance, also,
because of its relation to all law en-
forcement. The voters of the State
should see to it that its enforcement
is not delayed. They should see to it
that the fundamental law of the Unit-
ed States is not defied by those en-
gaged in a business concerning which
nothing good can be said; a business
which has populated almshouses, pen-
itentiaries, madhouses and grave-
yards, from the foundation of the gov-
ernment.
Breaking Broody Hens.
There are dozens of old-fashioned
ways of breaking up broody hens. One
of the best methods is to place the
hen in a broody coop. A coop that
will answer this purpose is one hav-
ing a slatted bottom, with two inch
slats two inches apart. Suspend such
a crate about five feet from the
ground and let the hen have plenty of
fresh air. Feed a good scratch feed
and a good mash in small containers,
along with plenty of water, grit and
oyster shell, says farm agent J. N.
Robinson.
It would be an advantage to feed
her moist mash that can be cleaned up
in fifteen minutes once a day. This
will enable her to get a good forcing
feed into her system and come back
into laying in a hurry. A hen should
not be in the coop more than two to
five days before she will come back
into laying. Although hens have
been known to go broody from four-
teen to twenty-one days, then lay 20
eggs then go broody again for the
same length of time, and be profita-
ble hens. Such hens may be profita-
ble, but far from being desirable.

degree north latitude, while doing re-
search work for the University of
Pennsylvania museum. He discover-
ed and excavated the lost tribe of
eighty-three prehistoric Eskimo bur-
ied five feet under ice for supposed
ages. He also found five living
streams of oil flowing into a lake of
petroleum. This picture is the only
one of the kind ever staged and Belle-
fonters will have an opportunity of
seeing it at the opera house this (Fri-
day) evening. There will be only one
show, at 8:15 o'clock. The admission
will be 25 cents and children 15 cents,
plus tax. If you miss this picture you
may never have a chance to see the
like again.

Pittsburgh District A. M. E. Sunday
Schools in Convention Here.
With 2 final meeting in the court
house here, last evening, the annual
convention of the Sunday schools of
the Pittsburgh district of the A. M. E.
church, closed a very successful con-

Tuesday.
From forty to fifty delegates from
the schools in the district comprising
most of the State between Pittsburgh
and Scranton were in attendance and
were greatly benefitted by the ex-
change of views on Sunday school
work.
Rev. Wm. H. H. Butler, of Pitts-
burgh, was the presiding officer, while
Miss Fairfax, of Williamsport, served
as secretary. Among the well known
ministers of the church who were here
to address the convention were: Rev.
R. M. Denson, of Johnstown; Rev. W.

——While transferring lard for the
Thall meat market from a truck to a
freight car at the Pennsylvania
freight station in this place, on Wed-
nesday morning, Wesley Hockenberry
met with an accident and sustained a
fracture of the right leg. Hocken-
berry was on the truck which ran back
from the car throwing him to the
ground. The truck then ran the other
way and broke Hockenberry’s leg. The
fracture is at the identical place where
the young man’s leg was broken al-
most a year ago when he was run
over by a car out along the back road
to Roopsburg, which incident led to
the unearthing of the gang that stole
the liquor from the postoffice cellar.

ed to join with the Howard people in
their big celebration.
