Bad Spirit

The only legitimate ground which the toototal societies possess from which to attack drinking in Austria is the sale of bad," cheap spirits. In the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna and in other working-class quarters a succession. of glasses of spirits costing a few pence each is quite frequently fo}~· lowed by a stabbing affray; some of them, recently have ended fatally. But to put an end to these, it is far more urgent, for Viennem juries to acquire a sense of responsibility, and to cease to bring in verdicts of "not guilty on the flimsiest grounds in every case of murder

than for week-end drinking to be suppressed.
