The President of a big whi>ky firm in Chicago intended to prove that whisky does not cause so much crime. Incidentally he proved that whisky prevented a man from having a clear brain. Read his words: “Crime, such as burglary or cracking a safe, is done by the trained criminal, who does not drink. That crime is premeditated, and carried on carefully. The men who do it do not drink, because if they drank would get caught. A man who drinks gets caught. Now take the pickpocket , do you suppose he could go through a man’s pockets if he drank? Certainly not, because he would be clumsy, and be arrested."
