Let us remember, that when we had the legalized {loon there never was a day when the papers of our land could not have f¥.led thetr columns with accounts of erime and misery directly resulting from booze (and wine and beer were largely responsible—in fact, many | of our worst drunks seldom touched anything “‘stronger’* than beer). Mr. Ager, editor of “Reform,” popular weekly published at Iau Claire, Wis, in a recent edftorial says in part: “At the present time newspapers thruout the country are serving us with unpleasant statistics endeavor. ing to prove the failure of prohibi tion. As a sample, the statement ix made that during first nine months of the present year no lens than 2,000 human beings have lost their lives, due to poison liquors (in cluding ‘moonshine’). In Minnesota alone it is sleged that ‘poisonous’ | liquor has claimed-20 victims. “As far back as 1890—or 33 years ago, it was estimated that 20,000 peo-| ple annually were killed by strong drink in our land, and at that time our population was very much small. | er than now. Counting the indirect | victims of the liquor traffic a third| of a century ago some 60,000 were} claimed each year, and ce then, | up till a few years ago, in spite of all temperance work, moral suasion, | etc., the number of victims increased yearty. “Now it {s claimed that Minne-| sota’s record for the past nine months is deplorable. Of course, it| is deplorable. But let us go back 20 years. In 1903 the editor attempted | to keep @ list of the Scandinavians| | who came to an untimely end thru} liquor. In the first nine months of that year no less than 51 were re- 1 from the state of Minnesota. | The figures. showed a high rate in Minnesota as compared with Wis consin, in proportion to the Scan-| |dinavian population, only because of | the fact that the newspapers in that | were more hone: ving the} than were t controlled | yspapers of Wisconsin. Our large| Milwaukee dailies did not very often} state the true cause of a drinker’s| leath, realizing that whenever they lid so they helped to indict the brew business. The Scandinavians | contributed their quota of victims, | but were no worse than other na.| tionatities. } “We ought to get down on our| knees and thank God because of the treat improvement in conditions. ‘ountless thousands have no doubt | een suved from dying as drunkards. | “Strange, isn’t it, that our enemies | 10w charge us prohibitionists ax be-| ing responsible for the victims of moonshine?
