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.” 'Glands Used To Restore Hair Growth Seifnof of Gland Therapy Relieves 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.
