AN OUTSPOKEN PROHIBITIONIST.

MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA'S DIFFICULTY.

Mayor Mackay, according to the Philadelphia “Bulletin” of April 13, 1928, challenged President Ooolidge, Congress, and all Federal authorities of the District of Columbia to “diy up’’ Washington and make it an example of prohibition enforcement to the rest of the nation. Mayor Mackay said: Why does not the President and the Congress give tlie rest- of the nation a real example in the enforcement of the dry laws if prohibition is enforceable? My stand has teen taken, and everybody knows what it is.” Mr. Mackay said: “I have given Director Davis his instructions. From now on the entire matter of police activity, lies in the Department’:', hands.” ' k ' 8;li speakeasies and the latronisc them, Mayor •ays been a P®bi®tibnrf| it the po&y jft'pJphdflF >h, aljdi LKiiifiSnxJpuw to iw jtosfU® l l/piioSS; To i* l # bjf vjli Jto upper fi'siin with ll ijean xhe people wlu> fifth the speakeasies ot ild be closed, and who ■ in private who patronise wiese-spvakeasies. 1 . V , “When I became Mayor of this city I was left with 13.000 speakeasies oil my door step Tsy the- previous administration. I say, and I say emphatically, that to‘make this city dry if would be necessary to double the police force, double the number of judges, inercuse the District- Attorney’s Office, and build and maintain additional prisons. Doubling tho police force would cost over 7 million dollars more a. year to collect from taxpayers, and altogether complete, enforcement measurements would call for a round ten million dollars extra in city costs. It is time,” concluded Mayor Mackay, “tlmt the public itself faced the facts. Are citizens willing to pay higher taxation to enforce prohibition P” Such is the' state of affairs in the city of Philadelphia, where even, the Mayor, himself a prohibitionist, is unable to cope with the. evils, eorruption and social degradation which prohibition has produced.**’* Sleeplessness.
