SOME "DRY" SIDE ISSUES

1t is announced that with the swearing off drinking
by the three states of Oregon Washington and Idaho to-
night 2100 saloons will close their doors at midnight
That is good many saloons, and just what it means
is not easily grasped The Capital Journal is always
pleased to make these things easily understood by its
readers and hence offers a few facts and figures.
The average saloon has double doors and these will
about five feet The aggregate would make one
door five times 100 feet wide almost exactly two miles,
This it will be seen is some saloon door.
The avergae counter in a saloon is probably about 70
feet This would make one counter twenty times 2lOO
feet long, about eight miles. This would provide room
for string of eight miles of men at time to quench
their thirst and should in the course Of whole day go
far toward accomplishing that object.
At midnight tonight some ten thousand card tables
will be out of ob and there will be probably 100000
more chairs that will wait in vain for occupants.
Then there is the vast array of glasses and bar fix
tures what will become of them? There will be 2lOO
mirrors, of them very fine ones that will reflect
nothing lively than the wall on the other side OF
the These mirrors placed side by side would per-
hapS reach more than three miles.
Where will all this stuff and great quantity Of other
things not mentioned go? However it does not belong to
us, so why worIy2
The owners can and no doubt will do that themselves
AT the same time it calls attention to the TACT that there
is something doing when three states go dry
The latest concerning the Austrian tangle is that
Austria will accede to the demands of the United State
with the exception that she will not She will agree to
pay damages for the loss of American lives but refuses
to assent to the American position to give up cent

usual results. Ear.splitting feminine
shrieks rent the atmosphere and ter

preached the combative lovers took to

AWAITING MORE DEVELOPMENTS

NEW YORK. Nov. 22-After months
Of ceasless delvinE by agents OF the
United States secret service. the gov
eminent is ready to present evidence
to the federal grand jury to expose the
German conspiracies against Ameri-
can neutrality.
The grand jury investigation Of the
Teutonic plot to prevent American
made war supplies from reaching the
allies and to help Germany in other
ways Will be commenced at once.
Testimony which will be given to
the federal grand jury is said on high
authority to involve a former ambassa-
dor to the United States. a warm per-
sonal friend of the kaiser. several rich
German-Americans and not q few
women.
One OF the most interesting develop
ments was the possibility that Franz
Rintellen. who is held In England as q
German spy. may be extradited to this
country to stand trial on the charge
that he tried to foment anti-American
feeling in Mexico and otherwise con-
spired against the neutrality Of the
United States.
Not counting money raised In this
country, $4,000 is alleged to have been
sent here from Germany to further the
work of the proGerman propaganda
and to be used in other activities ON
behalf of the German cause.
