PROHIBITION IN THE UNITED STATES

As Seen by a Reporter "anv"

CHICAGO AND OTH ER SECTIONS.

Historical.

Rollin Lynda liartt, newsnflllel‘ reporter, of New York, took a. 100k in some months ago to ascertain how Prohibition was doius in H?‘ boken, Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago. At the close oflln interview with many lending citizens. he summed up his observations by llnyiuzl- "Chicago might as well never had Prohibition."

The above is about the same as the report brought from all the above-named cities. As to whether the same might be said of Prince Edward island we have already de- scribed the fruits of the Prohibi- tion law after several plebisciles and a good deal of swearing and bootlegglng for about twenty yenrs.

According io tho information thc reporler gleaned there were open saloons ill Buffalo——-"n whole nest of them," about seven blocks lli) Broadway, "and the story turned ollt to be true." l found lllcnl scll~ ing beer, but not whiskey; indeed. the only liquor I cnme upon ill Buf- falo was offered lllB in a homo, by a recent graduate of n famous ensl- ern university. He had obtained the formula in the university lvhcro by diligent experimentation he and a group of classmates became very successful university dlstlllers and bootleggers, although the prohibi- tionists still assert “A generation is growing up who will never know the taste of alcohol." Ofliclally the saloons ill Buffalo are not saloons. They are not saloons; llley are soft-drink parlors," licensed at $5 each and with Mayor Schvrabfis per- mission selling beer." After a sc- ries of heart-breaking thefts fronl cellars, rich Buffaloiuns mounted electric lights on their garages with reflectors brilliantly illuminating their hack yards. "Booze-lights" those are trailed. "i saw hundreds

I answered, “More thull half the people of the Uniled Slates now live in cities." lie rclorled. "Well, anyhow, you can't say pro- hibition was ‘put over‘? Almost lllc \vllo1e territory of the United Slates was dry, territory. When I told lllnl my only object ill travelling was to obtain views of prohibition “as it is." he declared "it cmft he donc," in a tone that implied. "You have no business to attempt it."

This reporter travelled over the rural parts also in sellrcll m" 11,-1.1. hand information ill reference to {WW Drollibmition operated in the farming sections. This mun ul-lsur- ed the reporter thnt it was a great "'11- "6 Hlioke of “homo brew," "nlvoliflhifle." etc“ and declared lllarihey were “making drullkzlrds of the women and children of the country."
