PROHIBITION IN MINNESOTA
Judge Page Morris was on the
bench in the United States District
Court in Minneapolis. The Dearborn
Independent gives a thrilling account
of how this man has thrown the fear
of the law into the hearts of crimi
nals. It says:
“A hundred bootleggers awaiting
sentence sat in the crowded court
room, or, unable to get in, stood
about with interested friends in anx
ious little groups in the corridors.
“ ‘Sixty days in the Hennepin Coun
ty Jail, and $200 fine’,’' said the
judge at intervals, and the line kept
moving up. Or, maybe, it was ninety
days.
“Presently the marshal held up his
hand.
“ ‘Your honor, the jail is filled,’ he
said. -
“ ‘How about the Ramsey County
Tail?’ asked the judge.
“ ‘Lots of room there, your honor,’
replied the marshal.
“ ‘All right, we will fill it,’ said the
judge and he promptly began to carry
out his promise. He had sentenced
some thirty men to the Ramsey Coun
ty Jail, when the marshal held up his
hand again.
me uamsey county Jan is
filled, your honor,’ said the marshal.
" ‘All right, we will proceed to fill
the Wright County Jail,’ said his hon
or. ‘By the way, is that a good jail?'
“Reassured, the judge filled the
Wright County Jail, and then looked
about fox more worlds to conquer. He
discovered the McLeod County Jail,
and likewise filled it with bootleg
gers. The he decided he had done
enough for one day.
“The next day he started in again.
He filled the jail at Winona. In a
few days more, he had filled the Wa
basha and Scptt County Jails and
started out to fill the Sibley County
Jail. In one session of the Federal
Court in Minneapolis and one session
in St. Paul, he filled a dozen jails
with violators of the prohibition
laws.
“Some of the jails he filled several
times. When there was a ‘vacancy’ in
one of them, he had a bootlegger to
fill it.
“ ‘I have made up my mind that
persons who sell liquor are going to
jail,' said the judge. ‘No getting
away with fines. They are going to
jail every time I can send them there.
I am going to stop this liquor selling
if I have to fill all the jails in Minne
sota.'
“This unusual method of dealing
with persons who violate the prohibi
tion law naturally caused a great con
sternation. Liquor sellers who had
not been bothered much by fines were
alarmed at the prospect of going tq
jail. Attorneys were hired and in
structed to use their best efforts to
induce the judge to listen to reason,
but they argued in vain.
“Jud£e Morris .continued sending
offenders to jail for thirty and sixty
and ninety days. In some cases, the
jail sentences, were as long as five
months, and one old offender got nine
months. In many cases, he sentenced
the men to jail and fined them, too.
“One man, who had been fined
twice before in prohibition cases,
came up before Judge Morris for sen
tence on his third offense. He was
fined $4 00 and sent to Leavenworth
prison for a year and a day.
“ ‘I am going to stop this thing if
I have to send every man of you to
Leavenworth for a year,' the judge
said.
“Several men who were cohvicted
under a charge of conspiracy to vio
late the prohibition laws were fined
$5,000 and given eighteen months at
Leavenworth, ‘so they would have
enough time to reflect a little about
the seriousness of violating the pro
hibition law.'
“Now, all this may sound a bit un
usual when one is accustomed to see
ing bootleggers get off with a small
say $100 or so, and continue j
their illicit trade at big profits. Judge
Morris has unusual ideas about the
enforcement of prohibition.
“Why does he send men to jail for
violating the prohibition laws?
“ ‘Jail sentences are the only th'ng
that will stop this illicit trade in
liquor,’ he said. ‘I began by impos
ing fines, but this failed.
‘Men were making big profits out
of the liquor traffic and a fine meant,
little or nothing to them. But the
humiliation of being sent .to jail is
the big thing. Even a short term
is a greater deterrent than a big fine.
“ ‘I am convinced that jail sen
tences will stop the liquor traffic.
If we don’t get the desired effect, the
penalties ought to be increased. That
will put teeth in the law.
“ ‘Jail sentences may not stamp
out violations of the prohibition laws
right away, but they will tend to
minimize them. The big return from
strict enforcement after all will not
be the immediate return. The big re
sult will come in the next generation
and in succeeding generations.’
“A year ago, Judge Morris warned
bootleggers that he was going to give
them stiff jail sentences in the future
whenever he could. Not many took
him seriously then. Even after he
had sent a large number to jail at the
June term of court in St. Paul, they
were not convinced.
“When court opened in Minne
apolis ip October, there were 320
liquor cases on the calendar. About
half of the men accused pleaded
guilty; the others prepared to fight.
After a number of trials all result
ing in convictions, Judge Morris said
something about men who tried to
delay the course of justice when they
knew they were guilty. Then he
gave them jail sentences of from
three to five months.
“That caused a stampede among
the bootleggers to change their pleas
from ‘not guilty’ to to ‘guilty.’ May
he they woiuld get off easier that way,
the wise ones reasoned. From then
on the defense was demoralized. How
could a bootlegger decide how to
plead with a judge like that?
“When the St. Paul session began
about half of the men accused told
the judge they were not guilty. Then,
lawyers and clients began holding
anxious conferences. When the time
came for trial, virtually all the de
fendants walked meekly in and
changed their pleas to guilty. In one
week 110 cases were disposed oT,sand
not a man had the temerity to de
mand a trial. Of course, the chances
didn’t look overly bright for acquit
tals. Out of 320 cases at the Minne
apolis session, there had not been one
acquittal.”

Boldness—New Treatment Re
stores Health and Growth,
Baldness in both men and women is
now generally ascribed by scientists to
defective functioning of endocrine
glands. Hair growth is dependent upon
the secretions of these glands—these
secretions making possibly the assim
ilation of those elements in the blood
which are vital to a luxurious growth
of hair.
Now it is possible for any bald per
son to have a full, luxuriant growth of
hair* through the discovery of E. R.
Alexander, nationally known scientist.
Dr. Alexander, through the concentra
tion of glands, can supply the defi
ciency of gland secretion and produce a
full growth of hair.

the privacy of your own home. Within
a few weeks you will notice new vig
orous hair beginning to come in and
with this growth you can gradually
restore your hair to its former bright,
healthy color.
So confident is Dr. Alexander that
you can be relieved of the embarrass
ment qf baldness and regain the normal
hair growth by this method that he of
