PROHIBATION LUWS HALT IMMIGRATION TURN BACK IFLOW Or NEW COMBRS. See No Harm in Drinking And Con sider Measures to Prohibit it an Interference With Personal Liberty. A special from Washington states that a high official of the immigra tion bureau is authority for th.e statement that the prohibition movement in the south will seriously interfere with efforts to get immi grants to that section of the country. "It is none of my business,'" he said, ".although I have been cooperat ing, as far as possible, with the immi gration bureaus of the States of South Carolina, Virginia and others. So soon as the class of people being sought in the south find out that pro hibition laws encumber their person al liberty they will refuse to go south and- those now there will leave. The German, Austrian, Swede, Finn and nearly all other classes of Europeans will not go where they can not get beer. Besides that they res;nt any interference with what they shall eat or drink, believing these are matters of personal liberty. 'ney do not hold the view that so light a drink as beer, wen talen in moderate amounts and under circumstances to which they are accustomed, is either a sin or crime. They look down upon whiskey drinking in this country as a moral weakness to which Americans should not be addicted, and, probably would not care what happened to the ar dent -spirits, but they object to being deprived of beer. In Finland, for in stance, the government and the intel ligent classes encourage the use of beer as keeping down th-e heavy drinks, which threatened to increase in consumption, and Finland is con sidered the model temperance nation of the earth. "Personally I think a great mis take is' being made in the south. If these prohibition laws are being en acted to make the negro a sober cit izen, the enror will7 be- discovered in a few years. -The negro will become an imbiber of the cheapest and most fiery grades of mean whiskey, and I will venture the predietieM thit in prohibition states .of theN~outh crime will increase. It is history that pro -hibition runs out the mild drihks like beer and brings ip the .worst of the ardent class. The negro naturally likes the stealth that goes with blind tigers, and it will not be long before he will take the 1ead in defiandce of law and hypocrisy. He will copy af ter the white man, it is true. When he sees prohibition laws defied he will pay less attenition to other laws.'It is well known that in many portions of the south where prohibition is- in force through local option the negro has turned to cocaine and drugs and has become so worthless that he is a mnenace. ."What the south should do to help the negro be a better citizen and to encourage the immigratiopi of useful and int-elligent European workmen is to enact laws that will favor the sale of beer and the lightest of wines. This course is now advocated, in many states of the country by distinguish ed churchmen and thinking citizens who want to find a medium between the radicalism of prohibition and the extreme of wide open conditions. Com missioners from Finland who recently came' here. to study lieense laws in this eountry were horrified at what they dfry in the prohibition state of Maine and went back home with re commendations that their own laws. showing partially to the light drinks, were the best in existence. They saw more drunks in Maine cities than any place else they visited.'' INFORMATION WANTED ABOUT HIGH SCHOOLS Circular Letter Sent Out by the State Superintendent of Education to Each County. Mr. 0.
