An Unin tent ionsl Object Lesson

During the great strike in Sweden
last year the government closed up
all the saloons of the entire kingdom
for a month, thus applying the
eficacious ounce of prevention in
stead of waiting for the expensive
pound of cure. This action, however,
bad one quite unlocked for result.
When the saloons reopened for bust
ness after the month was over it was
found that q considerable percentage
of their patrons failed to return.
These had found, apparently, that
they could get along without drinking
to the advantage of their health and
their purses. This recession of
patronage, moreover, has proved
more or less permanent; so much so
that large brewing company in
Stockholm has recently been liqui-
dated, the stockholders receiving back
Is per cent only of their Investment.
Another proof of the trend OF senti-
ment in Sweden is derived from the
unofficial plebiscite recently taken by
the national federation of temperance
organizations. Every person over
eighteen, whether male or female, was
invited to vote on the question
whether the saloons could not as we'll
be closed twelve months in the year as
one. The opponents of temperance,
of course, declined to vote, hut the
plebiscite went on and the organiza-
lions succeeded 10 gathering total of
LISTS, $40 votes in favor of their prop
osition, a number estimated to be
more than fifty-four per cent of the
whole number of possible votes.
Whether proper safeguards were
thrown about the voting may be ques-
toned. But there is no doubt of the
tremendous growth Of temperance
sentiment among the Swedish people.

"War" Withdrawn

From Service
A Phone message was re.
ceived by the Palm Manage
ment last night advising that
the picture "War' that was
billed to appear at the Palm to-
night, had been withdrawn
from service. This action was
taken, not because the picture
was immoral in any way, but
simply because it told the
truth of the butchery and raw
ages of the present war in the
East, and told it so forceably
that the Italian Consul at
Washington objected on the
ground that it would necessari-
ly diminish the respect that is
now accorded the Italian resi-
dents of this country. The
Government, in order to satisfy
and respect the wishes, as far
as possible, of any foreign
country, has asked that it be
withdrawn. 1t is to be regret.
ted that the message did not
come a day later, as we in Nc.
Valley would have had an op-
portunity of seeing this won
derful picture. "The Battle"
has been chosen to take its
place.
