PROHIBATION LAWS HALT IMMIGRATION 1 TURN BACK FLOW OF NEW COMERS. See No Harm in Drinking And Con- 1 sider Measures to Prohibit it an 1 I Interference With Personal Liberty. < A special from Washington states 1 that a high official of the immigra- 1 tion bureau is authority for ' thp statement that the prohibition 1 movement in the south will seriously 1 interfere with efforts to get immigiauts to that section of the country. "It is none of my business," he ! said, although I have been eooperat- ' ing, as far as possible, with the immigration bureaus of the States of South ] Carolina, Virginia and others. So soon as tin? class of people being sought in the south find out that pro^ I hibition laws encumber their personal liberty they will refuse to go south and those now there will leave. Tho German, Austrian, Swede, Finn and nearly all other classes of Europeans | will not go where they can not get < p08r. Besides that tliey resent nny < interference with what they shall eat. or drink, believing these n're matters < of personal liberty. They do not, hold i the view that so light a drink as beer, ; when taken in moderate amounts and i under circumstances to which they ' are accustomed, is either a sin or i crime. They look down upon whiskey drinking in this country as a moral | weakness to which Americans should j not be addicted, and probably would not care what happened to the ardent spirits, but they object to being deprived of beer. In Finland, for in- ' stance, the government and the intelligent classes encourage the use of beer as keeping down the heavy | drinks, which threatened to increase in consumption, and Finland is conj sidercd the model temperance nation of the earth. "Personally T think a great mis- 1 take is being made in the south. If 1 these prohibition laws are being en- ] acted to make tho negro a sober cit izen, the error will be discovered in ' a lew years. The negro will become i an imbiber of the cheapest and most fiery grades of mean whiskey, and I will venture the prediction that in ' prohibition states of tho south crime will increase. Tt is history that prohibition runs out the mild drinks like beer and brings iy the worst of tho ardent class. The ne^ro naturally ; likes (lie stealth that goes with blind 1 tigers, and it will not be long before i he will take tlit; lead in defiance of law and hypocrisy, lie will copy after the white man, it is true. When he sees prohibition laws delied he will pay less attention to other laws. It is well known that in many portions of the south where prohibition is in force through local option the negro lias turned to cocaine and drugs and has become so worthless that he is a menace. [J- "What the south should do to help |h the negro be a better citizen and to encourage the immigration of useful and intelligent. European workmen is to enact laws that will favor the sale of beer and the lightest of wines. 1 his course is now advocated iu many states of the country by distinguished churchmen and thinking citizens who want to find a medium between the radicalism of prohibition and the extreme of wide open conditions. Commissioners from Finland who recently came here to study license laws in this country were horrified at what tap' they sftw 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 ?
