The country has had all kinds of contra- dictory assertions about enforcement, Which state the truth? It has been alleged again and again that prohibition agents have been so badly selected, and have been exposed to such frightful temptations, that the force is largely corrupt. From the testi- mony before the Senate committee we are in a way {to find out whether this charge is well founded. General Andrews was characteristically frank in his testimony. He admitted that a great many prohibi- tion agents had been found to ‘be crooked. Some 875 of them, or about one-fifth of the total number, had been discharged for detected bribery, extortion, | soliciting money, falsification of expense accounts, and so on, With the average salary about $2,000 a year, and with the possibility that an agent. could | get $50,000 or $75,000 for a single dereliction of du- ity, it is no€ suyprising that General Andrews admit- ted that thera would be “always corruption” in the prohibition enforcement service. / Equally: illuminating, or disheartening, was his explanation how these corrupt agents griginally were appointed. It is evident that from ‘the first their positions were regarded as spoils. Congress refused to put them under the Civil Service law. Politicians wanted “places” for their’; henchmen. But General Andrews went on bluntly to reveal the fact that some of the werst appointees were recom mended by. churches, by the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, by the Anti-Saloon League, and even by the great Wayne B, Wheeler himself. It is hot hinted that these-reformers. knew that the per- sons they urged for office were untrustworthy or corrupt. The real vice was in regarding the prohi- bition unit as their own creation, concerning the personnel of which they had a right to dictate.
