"Drunkenness in Seattle is becoming
almost as common as it was before
the state went dry.
“The people of this state voted for
the prohibition law, it is not the
square thing to wink at this open
violation of the law. It is un-Ameri
can and unprincipled. It Is detrimental
to public .peace and to private busi
ness. It serves to keep up an agita
tion over the 'booze' question that
should lie, by this time, definitely and
forevermore settled. Seattle and the
state have more important and larger
affairs to deal with . They cannot af
ford to be eternally bothered with a
saloon question.
"Our public officials have work to
do.”
The above article is reproduced
from the Seattle Star, a "dry” paper.
As the state of Washington only
voted for prohibition by 18,000 major
ity. opponents of the Anti-Saloon
Dengue declare that citizens are dis
satisfied with their brief experience
in sumptuary legislation and will vote
“wet” at the first opportunity.
Washington state officially became
"dry” hist January 1. Since that time
there has been a shocking increase in
drunkenness and crime.
Another story from the Seattle Star
says:
"Kxpress shipments show more Ilian
one third increase over February.
“Violators continue to trifle with the
prohibition law and pay penalty.”
Law Is a Joke.
Investigation of conditions in Seat
tle after three months of prohibition
develops two facts: The map of the
business section has boon changed as
completely as that of Kuropc will be
altered after the war, and what is
considered the most "air-tight” anli
liquor law in operation has proved in
adequate to stem the ever Increasing
flow of spirituous beverages.
March was a blustery month for tint
prohibitionists.
Not only did drunkenness increase
over the previous montit, but it ex
ceeded the two previous months, and
more than doubled the February rec
ord.
, The squad of tipplers who found
their way into the police station dur
ing March numbered 294. During
February the number was 177, and
during January only 94.
The record for March, as a matter
of fact, is only 6fi lower than that of
the same month a year ago.
Two special details of police hue
been word ing constantly tiiin? to -n
to. the law. Prosecutions have fad'cd
in but tew instances.
The records in the auditor’s olfloe
at the courthouse show that *n Jan
uary, 2,117 permits to ship liquor Into
the state were Issued.
In February the number increased
to 4,269, and in March to 6,250.
Beer Shipments Increase.
March beer shipments into the state
increased over February by more than
10,000 quarts, but orders for other
liquors' decreased somewhat.
Orders range as follows for Marclt:
Beer, 33,213 quarts; whiskies, 6,309
quarts; rum, 28; brandy, 139; alcohol,
169; gin, 59: vermouth, 13, and wines,
233 quarts.

Tells Chief to Quit.
This also is from (he Star and illus
trates the imfbility of the police lo
cope with the situation:
"Charles I,. Buckingham, former
county commissioner, was named by
Mayor dill Tuesday noon to succeed
Chief of Police l.otiis M. Lang, whose
resignation the mayor had demanded
in a letter written earlier in the day."
Mayor dill made (he follow ing state
ment:
"Mr. Buckingham is thoroughly fa
miliar with the liquor situation in Se
attle, and i believe he can help me
clear up that problem.”
"The one thing I think the police
department ought to do is to stop
bootlegging in Seattle,” Charles Buck
ingham said after his appointment as
chief.
"Fvery man, woman and child in (he
city knows that it is a simple matter
to get liquor. I think something can
surely lie done by the police depart
ment to stop the illegal trade. The
drug stores ought not to get away
with the stuff they are pulling now.”

the Monroe state reformatory was of

but did not accept it.

The Star also says:
“White Deputy Prosecutor T. H.
Patterson and his wife were absent
Monday evening, miscreants bombard
ed their home, 216 Crockett street.
“Eggs were used as missiles—very
old eggs, with unhappy, disturbing
odors.
"They wore plastered with accuracy
over the front door and veranda, ac
cording to Patterson. This evidently
not satisfying the bombarders, the
door was opened and a few eggs were
tossed into the hallway.
"Patterson was especially delailed
by Prosecutor Inindin to handle liquor
eases several weeks ago.”—Adv. j
