4.4 BEER TEASING. QUIZ TOLD Legalization of Light Kick Failure, Canadian Lawyer Says. CRAVE STRONGER STUFF Educators Called to Refute Youths’ Slipping. fly United Press WASHINGTON, April 17.—Legalization of 4.4 per cent beer In Ontario has been a failure, W. E. Raney* Toronto attorney and former attorney general of the Ontario province, told the Senate prohibition committee today. "Those who wished to drink beer protested there wasn't enough kick In the light beer." Haney declared. "It also has been found that: those who took out licenses to sell this beer were using licenses as shields to sell stronger stuff.” Raney's evidence was adduced by the drys to discredit pleas of wets that legalization of light beer would aid enforcement. In addition to using Canadian officials, Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, called A. A. Stagg. athletic director of the University of Chicago, and Profs. Irving Fisher and Henry Farnam. of Yale to refute evidence of the wets that prohibition is corrupting the morals of college students. No One Satisfied Wets are dissatisfied with the system because it Is Insufficient, and drys oppose It because It is a weakening ojj enforcement —so no one Is satisfied with it, Raney added. Furthermore, the experiment of other Canadian provinces with government distribution of hard liquor likewise has fallen into disrepute. Raney contended. / “Hotel men spent thousands of dollars In fitting up premises to make them comply with the law. And then the whole thing fell flat •—the beer drinkers said there wasn't *>nough 'kick’ in the government's healthful, invigorating, nonin toxica ttng beer.” The plan of the drys is to present their case briskly during the eighteen hours of their day in court which was granted to them to answer the arguments of the wets. Their publicity is more efficiently organized than that of the wets and their case is more evenly presented. Where wet sympathizers crowded the hearing room last, week during the presentation cf the wet case, drys now fill the seats, applauding the dry points and ignoring those of the wets. Army Precision Each night Wheeler meets with a committee of his lieutenants and arranges 'the testimony for the next day. Witnesses are marched up with the precision of a militant army, in contrast to the presentation of the wet case. It appears now that, the hearings may close within a week, Drys obtained consent of the committee for four hours a day, which would con elude their case in five’days. The committee declined to give wets more than two hours a day.

I was hired to clean Philadelphia of vice ns well as crime. T realized that crime was more important in the public mind. However it was my theory, based on my experiences with the Marines, that, a viceless city would be a. crimeless city, and that Philadelphia would never be free from crime until the lid had been clamped tight on vice. Also Mayor Kendrick had been elected on a promise to suppress vice. Crime Is committed by criminals, and criminals must have their hangouts in which to live and their dumps in which to seek amusement. They must, have places to drink, to dope, and to meet their woman companions.
