tup PACCfNft OF BOOZE.
The official demise of bacteriological
bug-juice, better known as
booze, will take place June 30. But
aa Jong as there is a ferment, which
acting f?n vegetable matter produces
alcohol, there will be intoxicating
tfrinks of sorts. There are certain
sections of these United States where
every mountain hollow has its still;
there axe certain communities where
the inhabitants hold firmly to the
' outworn fact and theory of booze in
fts moonshine form. Revenue officers
are taken as a matter of course
and are dealt with as one would
deal with measles and the whoopingcough.
Alcohol is so easy to make
and the remuneration is so attractive.
I
Then there are other ways of making
alcohol. Wine can be made byj
the simple method of letting nature
take its course. Rich red wine, light |
wine, dark wine, sweet wine, sour
wine, dry wine?any kind of wine, j
Whiskey can be made on a kitchen (
range with a tea kettle and a piece j
of rubber hose, or a gas range canj
be utilized. It can be safely saidj
that if man wants his liquor he canj
gerk it.
The death of alcohol in America is
due to the saloon, the bartenders
and the obvious evils of the system j
and finally to that innate American I
characteristic which makes him an<
eager, morbid sort of brother's
keeper of the Jonathan Edwards
type. Jonathan Edwards was a Puritan
preacher, who believed indiscriminately
in witches, hellfire and a
ticket to heaven only for the elect.
From a physical standpoint the
counts against alcohol are legion and
for every physical action there is a
reaction on the moral and spiritual
makeup of man. Countless numbers
of men have been debauched, ruined
ky liquor, and it can be safely said
that 80 percent of the crimes in the
past have been directly or indirectly
caused by drinking.
There are many theories about inebriety.
Some scientists say it is a
some that it is a disease; some]

innate depravity of man and that the,
-^pratfty cannot b? cured by taking
away one of the emanations.
But we are well rid of the saloon,;
which has always been an evil and a'
curee, in some respects worse than
liquor itself, for it made itself a part i
of politics. But we still have the!
moonshiner and the bootlegger in
|>ur midst. We will have these two
"cute" scoundrels as long as public
opinion is favorable or indifferent?
or gives any sort of material nour-,
. ishment. We have "both kinds?,
many of them, it is said?in this >
county.. The illegal manufacture
and sale of alcoholic beverages are
facts which we have to deal with and
which will cause trouble for many,
years.
We are glad that alcohol in its le
gal form, is going, but there is one
fact we would like to bring out in re-!
gard to its passing. We are rather j
dubious of a reformer who has no
sense of humor and a reform that
doesn't occasionally crease itself in
smiles. There is not a single laugh
m the whole prohibition platform.
ttti i 1
*y noever saw a. prumuiuon uraiurj
with a twinkle in his eye. They are!
all too confounded serious and thej
fountain of spring of their humor is
as dry as their cauee. They all be-'
lieve that "wine can their wits the
wiee beguile," "but none of them
kdkl to the view that it also can
"make the sage frolic and the seru
smile."
We believe there would be m<
strength in the cause if the prohi
tionists could be moved to smile
casionally, even if it was only a gi
smile.
GERMANY AND PEACE.
One can appreciate the situat
in which Germany finds herself wi
out experiencing the least bit
sympathy. There is hate, chagi
fear, spite, vascillation and last 1
not least, a mental reservation in 1
t attitude toward the peace tre
and the signing of that docum
We are inclined to believe that s
junkers even now think of it as
"scrap of paper", though care
not to voice their sentiment. T1
only await the moment when it. <
be safely scrapped.
At this late date Germany 8
seems to be working desperately :
time and more time. That the v*
ous men who have been named
sign the treaty for Germany eho
show unwillingness to affix th
names to a document which so hun
iates Germany is natural but tl
yioes not seem to be sufficient <
planation. The most reasona
thing is to suppose that it is <
other ruse to put off the final i
j ment.
| But in the end Germany will sij
j Then she must be watched, as 1
j been pointed out by the Tiger
j France, Clemenccau. Every gesti
i of the Huns indicates that they i
hot to be trusted. Their word is
j no value. The very signing of 1
(treaty will mean nothing to 1
j Germans, but it will bring a mo
fcum of stability to the rest of 1
world and that, after all, is the m<
\jmportant. The world is in dire ne
of a crystallization of the ideas
{peace which the formal signing
the peace treaty by the nations
fche earth will bring. It will do mc
to stop the spread of bolshevi:
than any other thing.
FANTOM LIMBS.
When a man at one end of a te
phone-line hears a voice he assun
that it comes from the other end, i
gardless of the fact that the hot

of the fact that the original termii

point. So when an arm or a 1

All these facts are familiar to the
who come in contact with them, a
have given rise to many tales a
superstitions. Says an editor

"This remark is suggested by
article in a recent number of a we
known Italian journal. The auth
describes the case of a man who
entire left leg has been amputate
but who nevertheless complains of
itching under the sole of the 1(
foot, besides other definitely loci
ized sensations in the missing mei
ber.
"We find this article notewortl
tho not for the reason that, presu:
ably, prompted its publication. T
hideous toll of war has lately invo
ed the mutilation of human bein
on an unprecedented scale.
"Now, it is a fact, perhaps unl
miiar to the average reader, that t
illusion of 'fantom limbs'?to bom
a felicitous expression from Dr. Wi
Mitchell?far from being rare or f
ceptional, is almost universal amo
persons who have undergone an a
putation. Among ninety cases,
eluding a great variety of ampui
tions, Mitchell found only four
which there had never been an illi

matter of some interest, not that

ble ALCOHOL AND CRIME.
etn- co
aa. Of 2,500 prisoners in the Indiana
state prison, 2,075 drink to excess,
? nnd onlv 175 are abstainers. This
f". I "
^ is one of the results of a survey
0f made rn the psychopathic laboratory ^
,re of the prison by Dr. Paul E. Bowers. Tl
The report of the survey, printed m1
0f first in the Journal of Delinquency an
(January), is now issued in separate
-he form. It occupies some forty-five *u
diJ pages, of which only about three are
;he devoted to the section relating to al- ca
ost'cohol. Dr. Bowers is not jo sure as co
^disome our readers may be that his ^
0f! figures prove that alcohol drove
0f' these two thousand men to commit *n
of crime. Criminals, he says, are al- us
| i-.
)reimost always neurasthenic, and this
gjn condition also creates the alcoholic ur
thrist. Possibly denial of alcphol, mj
while it would have made them so- ^
b?r, would not have affected their rai
criminal propensities. And yet the
adoption of prohibition in a state has
often been accompanied by a nota*e'
ble decrease in the prison popula- w*
les tion. Dr. Bowers says on this point: an
re" "It will never be possible to say
lse accurately just how njuch crime is ^
t0 due to drinking. Large numbers of tei
prisoners are dissomaniacs; they
possess neurophatic organizations; to m*
them drinking is an expression of
ws i their defect, a contributing factor to ^
^ their crimes rather than the imme- _
io] Br
. diate one. The disastrous effects of ,
of da
the narcotic, alcohol, on the brain
1 and central nervous system are to
ee no
6 j be seen every day throughout the ,
ce' oy
civilized world. Acute alcoholic inCG
t-n<
. toxication or the ordinary form of gr
drunkenness, from a psychological tjg
er* viewpoint, is but a transitory form
IS0 Wll
of insanity. 'Both psychologists and
, jurists have properly, however, mainnd
. , tained a distinction between those
ial S1V
mental disturbances produced ipr
' by the direct imbibition of alcoholic i
. liquids, and which cease in a few es
'^j hour3 after the imbition ceases, and ani
^ .those mental derangements and hal- ^
* Uucinatfctos t*at ay continue for ^
U i days, Weeks, or months after all use S0I
^ of alc&hol has ceased.'
"The exact relationship that alco- gj],
jj hoi bears to crime is problematical
and can not with mathematical pre- ^
cision be determined. Prison authori*se
, ties, and especially prison surgeons, nf
an know that many prisoners, in order an,
>fJto excuse overt acts, readily attrib- fl0
al_ | ute their crimes to temporary states
m_jof drunkenness. Therefore, statistics wh
I on alcoholism from penal institutions p0:
... and reformer are to be taken cum!ed

m_ grano salis, for they are more or less 0v<
he inaccurate. wr

gS from prisoners, during my examina- an
tion of them, concerning the cause
fa_ of their crimes, is generally one of
