DRY VICTORIES
Grow As Dtails Are Known--SeVeral
Hundred saloons are wiped
Oout of Existence

As the details of the wet and dry
elections held last week come in, the
dry victories become more pronounc-
ed
In Wisconsin the net dry gains are
twice as great as at any previous
elections. The dry victory in the
city OF Superior is a terrific blow to
the vets and forshadows trouble for
them, even in Milwaukee, Superior
has a population of $4,000 and has
l75 saloons. It is the second larg-
est town in Wisconsin Two school
towns Platteville and Menominee al
10 voted dry Last weeks elections
In Wisconsin placed $4,000 people in
dry territory.
In Michigan the drys held all the
dry counties contested by the vets
by largely increased maiorities and
also made two wet counties dry Ing
ham county, in which the capital ci-
ty Of Langsing is located, was kept
in the dry column by a largely in
creased majority The city Of Ian
sing, with a population of 10000,
gave a majority for the drys This
was humiliating for the vets as they
conferred their fight there in an effort
to win back the county.
Illinois gave the vets a good drub-
bing last week and will give them an
other next week when more towns
will vote. The loss to the vets Of
Moline with $4,000 population, Wau-
kegan with 10000 and Dixon with
5000, and keeping Elgin with 25,-
OOO and Freeport with 10000 on the
dry side, caused gloom in Chicago
and Peoria Illinois now has 5S dry
counties.
| In Nebraska the drys made sweep
ing gains and are in fine fettle for
pushing the statewide campaign.
These elections show the Prohibi-
ton wave is not subsiding, as the
vets assert. In truth, it is not a
wave but movement that is sweep
ing over the country and the civili-
zed world and its force is so irresis-
tible that the efforts Of the liquor in
terests with all their ill-gotten wealth
are powerless to check it.-American

Commercial Tribune, April III
The Federation OF Catholic Socie-
ties went on record Sunday afternoon
as favoring platform placing motion
pictures under the ban owing to the
great number of indecent pictures
Secretary Herget reported were being
shown. A committe of FIVE was au-
thorized TO take up the matter with
Archbishop Moeller to ask him to re-
quest the Catholics OF the county and
the diocese to refrain from attending
shows The action was decided upon
following a long discussion of moving
picture conditions in Cincinnati and
the State by Secretary Phil II. Her
get, who bitterly denounced the State
Board of Censors,
II have caught up the State Board
lately on several violations that have
been permitted after they had order
ed elimltations in Objectionable pic
lures" declared Herget
81 have telegraphed the board as
soon as | have found the violations
and they promised to get in touch
with the exchange people but they
have not punished anybody so far,
believe they pay more attention to
finding excuses to give me than they
are concerned in working out correc-
tions."
other members of the federation
declared that the films were worse
than any burlesque or filthy book,
Delegate Babbitt said; THE films
hell quicker than any other thing we
now have to contend with. The
State Board is a sham and we ought
to appeal to the Governor to do some
thing"
Members passed a resolution ap-
pointing a committee to take up with
Judge Charles w. Hoffman the ques-
tion of having the Juvenile Court
stop children attending shows in
which sex problems are depicted.

OLD DOBIN
Still In the Ring and COming-A
Third More Horses Than SIN
teen Years Ago

Watertown, ~ Y, April 1.-THE
horse still is king. The advent of
autos has pushed him off some Of the
city streets but his family is larger
today than it was twenty-six years
ago, when automobiles were un-
known. Statistics compiled by gov
eminent bureaus show that S5 per
cent. Of transportation througout the
United States is carried by horses.
Discussing the situation, Irving
Parmenter, secretary of the New
York State Association of Horsemen,
said today
The reports of the department of
agriculture show 21,OOO,OOO horses
on the farms of the United States
against 100000 in 1890. The
value Of horses on the farms alone is
estimated at more than $2,000,000,-
600. All the automobiles in the I'm
tied States are rated at 81 100000
600.
While it is true that the estimated
number of horses in this state has
shrunk 5000 in the past year, due
probably to war exports, farm horses
have increased, according to federal
figures from 591,OOS as shown by the
1910 census, to 100000. In 1909
the value of 10000 horses on New
York farms was placed at $80,940,-
600, Today 100000 animals are val
ued at $84,851, 900.
More horses are trucking on New
York's streets today than two\years

Some folks think Bruno Bethel is
playing out of his head at second
base, but if he is it is to be hoped he
continues that way He is covering a
world of ground and yesterday had a
half dozen assists and five putouts,
acting twice as the middle man in
double plays. He also got the sec
oud hit of the game, in the second
inning. The bingle sent Tommy
Long, who had hit Just ahead of him
to third. In the confusion incidental
to Betzel's hit, while several of the
inlielders were off their stations, Bru-
no made a sudden dash for second.
A perfect peg from Mcconnell to
Yerks caught the runner If Bethel
had made it safe, and there was a
chance, it would have been called
wonderful base running, but as he
didn't it wasn't so termed. 1t did

REFUSE TO DELAY WkLkoU7
BROTHERHOOD REJECT WILSON'S
LATEST PROPOSAL.
Negotiations Between Railroads and
Employees Broken Of-President
Continues His Efforts.

Washington, Aug. 81. - President
Wilson, laying the railway strike stu
alton before Congress with recommen'
dations for legislation, advanced the
crisis to a stage where the next de-
velopments depend upon two points.
They are:
Whether the legislation he proposes
can be passed.
If enacted, will it be effective to pre-
vent strike already called for seven
a. M, September 4.
Employees to Fight Program.
Neither Of these questions could be
answered.
The brotherhood heads themselves,
announcing their intention to fight
certain portions Of the presidents pro-
gram, are at loggerheads over wheth'
er it's enactment would prevent the
strike.
The railway presidents favorable to
President Wilson's plan in the main,
think it would make it difficult for
the strike to begin.
Wilson Continues Efforts.
Meanwhile, although negotiations be-
tween the employers and men were
broken off Tuesday by the rejection
of the railway presidents latest pro-
posal for arbitration, President Wilson
is continuing his efforts to bring the
two sides together on some form of
agreement.
When the brotherhood leaders re-
jected the latest proposal to the rail-
roads and definitely set the strike for
Labor Day, without further notice,
President Wilson decided to lay the
whole situation before Congress.
