ANTI-SALOON DAY IN WESTERLY
Expected to Have Special Significance Next Sunday Pros and Cons of the Whiskey Poisoning Cases-Rev John G. Button Off for Europe-sody of fopkinton Man Ordered Held for Examination.

Next Sunday will be Apr1-Saloon Field day in Westerly, with special | sermons in nearly all the churches, the pu1pits being supplied by preachers other than the regular pastors. As Westerly has always been an anti-sa- loon town, there are some who cannot understand why Westerly should have been selected as the place for holding 1 the special field day, services against saloons where none exists.
 In view of the current opinion that many of the recent sudden deaths were due to drinking poisoned whiskey in this no-license town, caused a local clergyman to remark that while he lcould not consistently vote for li- cense, he believed that the general plan of regulated licensed saloons was preferab ble to the present illegal con duct of the liquor business in West
 erly, and, while he would work and
 vote against license, he believed it
 would be reform work to have West
 erly a liquor license town It is daily
 prohibit and that the cheapest and
 most dangerous grades of liquor are dispensed in some. places.
 At the present time there is general
 condemnation of the illegal liquor traf-
 fic in Westerly created by the many
 deaths alleged to be caused by poiS-
 oned whiskey. A prominent member
 of the town council stated Monday
 that in his opinion that were a vote
 to be taken at the present time West
 erly would favor license by more than 1000 majority.
 In explanation of the apparent in- activity of Westerly officials in not probing for facts upon which to base prosecutions for the dispensing of aI- by the medical examiner that in ev- cry instance of sudden death in West erly, attending physicians reported death due to natural causes"
 This does not apply to the three deaths in Pawcatuck, two of which caused investigation by reason of sus- picious circumstances, which at the time gave ground for the belief that the poison, if any. was placed in the whiskey after it's purchase from the drug store Hence the calling of the coroner, the autopsieS and chemical analysis of the liquor and stomach contents, the result of which has not been made public.
 Nor does it apply to the case of the young man in Pawcatuck who drank the fatal dose purely for medicinal 
 In that case the physicians assert positively that death was due to wood alcohol poisoning. The whislxey ad- to the young man was to be the Monogram" brand of whiskey in a sealed bottle. and nor sold from bulk as in the other alleged cases. If this whiskey contained the wood alcohol it would indicate that the original contents had been emp tied and the bottle reflled with the deadly stuff claimed to have been the cause of other deaths.

Of green as its dominant color?
Co to the top of some high plaee-the
dome Of the Capitol, or the top of any
high building-and look out over this fair
city. Green, as far as the eye can reach.

gaze.
No wide stretches Of dull red. no
splotches OF drab. no mile after mile Of
unrelieved BRICK saa mortar. OF these a

Man cannot thrive happily among
acres Of factory chimneys. In the dense
pau of smoke which they belch out. his
brain and his body grow weary before
their time. He yearns for the living
green, the cool. tempting shade Of the
trees OF his beyhood.

The Woodrow Wilson Boom

Says the Savannah Press;
"The announcement that certain infu-
ences in New York will get behind Or.
Woodrow Wilson and boom him for the
Democratic nomination for President has
created considerable interest"
There is a calf out in Iowa that swal-
lows stick OF dynamite every year.
anywhere from March 10 to April Is. and,
while subsequently at play. blows up.
This interesting annual event invariably
IS telegraphed TO all the newspapers of
the land. and next morning is duly and
soIemnly recorded. The headlines allotted
10 1t are never bold: but the item is not
relegated 10 ineonspicuousness. All news
editors Immediately recognize it as an
old, old friend. and handle 1t with respect
and consideration. Incidentally. It as
sures them that spring has arrived, with
out doubt.
The Woodrow Wilson Presidential boom
is another veteran entirely al home IN
all well-regulated newspaper sanctums.
It develops quadrennially, aourishes like a
green bay tree for time. and then drops
quietly asleep until the indicated time
for It's temperance. It is the sure sign
that Democratic Presidential activity at
last is under way. Il IS never treated as
a Joke: It IS never handled as an ancient
story The news OF its rebirth and husky
activity IS not screamingly published nor
yet thrust aside among the 'telegraphlc
briefs IN agate set. It is accorded digni-
fed treatment, as BELTS It's antique
status; it is accepted and promulgated as
II it had never happened before, and as
If no one on the STAFF entertained even
a slight Suspicion that it would happen
again.
Such IS the inevitable Woodrow Wilson
Presidential boom that, upon the word OF
the Savannah Press, once more is in our
midst We wish it the compliments OF
the season, and hope its career may be
no less beautiful this time than it was
the last We recognize it as a harmless
but necessary preliminary to more siren
uous things soon to follow.
The Woodrow Wilson Presidential boom
IS as welcome as the flowers in May. and
just about as enduring.

A Revel in Relationship.

Those who take delight in the complex
will appreciate the Joy which must have
prevailed IN the Office Of the Comptroller
Of the Treasury when that branch OF the
government was asked to determine the
merits Of a claim for pay and allowances
alleged to be due an army officer. or the
estate OF an army officer, who died as
long ago as October. 1867. He left no
widow, father. mother, brother, or sister

It appears that the questions which
were presented were ''as TO whether or

Evading Indiana's DRY Laws.

The prohibition wave which rolled

so many communities have already dis
covered, that prohibition does not always
prohibit. When the agitation was on. the
"drys'' said Sghat II the saloons were
only ousted BY law, liquor selling and
consumption could be prevented. So the
saloons were busted from many counties,
and still liquor dealing goes on. There
