The Truth About
Liquor in the Home

During the early part of the year
1916 the new dry law of the State of
Washington, put into effect January
LIST, apparently gave general satisfac-
ton.
The saloons We're abolished.
There was less drunkenness.
There were few arrests.
There was little crime of any kind.
Few permits to import intoxicants
were issued
There was not activity among the
boot-leggers.
Conditions produced by the dry law
were such as to please its most ardent
advocates.
And yet
On January 1st 1916, there was
more Intoxicating liquor IN THE
HOMES of Seattle and throughout
the state than at any previous time
in their history.
During the latter part Of 1915, and
especially after the state supreme
court had upheld the dry law, the
stocks of alcoholic liquors and bever-
ages were transferred by sale in enor-
nous quantities from the wholesale
and retail liquor houses to the homes
of purchasers.
In Seattle alone, the sales of intoxi-
cants during the last month of 1915
were estimated to exceed S1,500,0OO
All of this went into the homes.
For a period of about sixty days
there was peace throughout the State
of Washington. Various lines of bust
ness seemed to be quietly adjusting
themselves to the changes effected by
the closing Of the saloon doors. The
newspapers proclaimed that the law
was working well, and the news to
that effect was scattered broadcast
But, meanwhile
Citizens accustomed, from child
hood OF through many years, to mod
crate use of alcoholic beverages, were
making steady inroads into the sup
plies stored in their homes before
January LIST.
Gradually these supplies were ex-
hausted, except in the cases of the
comparatively few who had been able
to invest hundreds Of dollars in large
stocks, stored away for future use.
Along in March the first results Of
the depletion Of home supplies were
noted:
The county auditors office began to
be besieged for permits to import in
toxicants
There was an ominous increase in
the number Of drug stores"
The word began slipping about as
to where blind-pigs were to be found.
The boot-legger began to get busy
These things didn't just merely
happen.
The issuance Of permits increased
and the activities Of the illicit dealers
became more vigorous in direct re
spouse to the demand Of those who
in the earlier part Of the year had
been content with what they had pro
vided for themselves in their homes.
The boot-legger, with profound
knowledge Of the workings Of human
nature, had been content to wait,
knowing that the demand would come,
and prepared to satisfy it, on his own
terms, when it came.
The number Of blind-pigs increased.

Watch the Count On Election Day


AS election day draws near, ii be
comes more and more apparent that
the capitalist class fear the influence
that the Socialist Party will WELD at
Che coming general election; in many
cities of the state freedom of speech
and the right TO peacably assemble
ON the streets has been suppressed I;
practically al. the daily papers 81 the
state have closed their columns to
Socialist Party campaign news; in the
city of Everett they have denied us
the use of the Everett Theatre for a
campaign rally ON November 9th, and
in Snohomsh county they have gone
the limit and denied us all represen-
tatlon on the election boards. 1t is
evident, therefore, that they are doing
their worst and it is not far fetched
to anticipate that they will count us
out ON election day wherever they feel
chat they can get away with it. So
DE on the Job when the vote is being
counted. The Socialists of each pre-
cinct are requested to organize their
forces and work the polling places in
shifts of six hours each on election
day.

COST OF WATER POWER
PLANT PUT AT $2O,OOO,OOO
Gen, Crozier Says Plant at
MuSSeI Shoals Would Cost
That Sum
(By Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-A govern
ment water power plant at Mussel
Shoals, on Tennessee river, to develop
sufficient power to produce war time
supply of nitrogen from the air for the
manufacture of explosives, would cost
$20,000,000, Brigadier General Crozier,
chief of ordnance, told the house mill
tary committee today. He said this
was one of the propositions for such
plant which had been officially exam
ined.
The first of the new 16-inch mobile
howitzers cannot be delivered to the
army for two years. General Crozier
said it would take nine months alone
to complete the designs for the guns
and another year to make the first gun
for testing. The ordnance experts also
are preparing to construct &c sixteen
inch Wrifles, long range, heavy weapons,
to be mounted in turrets as part Of the
fixed Notifications. General Crozier
gave no estimate of time necessary to
construct them. He said he had seen
reports that 17-inch guns were being
mounted on new German battleships, but
had no official information.
General Crozier estimated that in six
months a large army could be supplied
with machine guns and rifles by arse
nails and private plants, provided equip
ment to convert private plants to build
government models was held ready by
the government.

WEYLER STILL A POWER
IN THE ARMY OF SPAIN
General Who Won NOtOriety
in Cuba Put at Head of
General Staff
by Associated Press. }

PARIS, Jan. 24.-General Valeriano
Weyler has been appointed president
of a central general staff of the Span
ish army which has been created by a
royal decree. according to a dispatch
from Madrid to the Havas agency.
General Weyler was governor of Cuba
just before the Spanish-American war
and his policy OF severity IN waging
war on the revolutionary movement and
particularly in his action in forcing the
concentration of the rural population in
certain sections have generally been re-
gardeG as having had much to do with
bringing about that war After his re-
turn to Spain his reputation as an iron
handed soldier brought him appointments
to positions where energy and even
stern measures seemed to be required.
His appointment in 1900 as captain-gen-
eraI of Madrid resulted in more than
one ministerial crisis. He was minister
of war in 1901 and again in 1905. In
1909 he was appointed captain-general
of Catalonia with headquarters at BARGE
Iona, where the disturbances connected
with the execution of the sentence of
death on Francisco Ferrer were quelleo
by him without bloodshd
II was recently announced that the
Spanish government had decided to re-
organize its entire army system and the
appointment of General Weyler to the
newly created position of president of
central general staff is an indication
that the veteran soldier, who is in his
seventy-seventh year, continues to be
power in the military service of Spain

CARRANzA IS PLANNING
MEXICAN LAND REFORMS
Government viii Take Back
Lands Grabbed in Revolution
and viii RediStribute Them
(By Associated Press. }

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 25.-Efforts are
being made by the CarranZa government
of Mexico, according to information made
public here today, to establish the land
reforms promised by the constitutional
ists.. AndreaS Garcia, Mexican consul
here, said that a commission already had
been appointed to devise plans to put
into operation the Carranza land distrl-
button scheme under the decree issued
in December, 1914.
This scheme contemplates the return
to government control of municipal lands
taken by private parties during and
after the Diaz regime. When this is ac-
complished, it is said, the Carranza gov
eminent will proceed to divide the vast
areas of uncultivated lands comprising
some of the largest estates in Mexico.
Soldiers who have fought for Carrana
will share first in this distribution of
small farms. it is announced.
Advices from the interior of Chi
huahua report continued tranquility out
side the district in which the forces of
Villa, Argumedo, Contreras and other
rebel leaders are operating. Reports
from Torreon state that Carranza troops,
comprising a part of the 10000 men be-
ing concentrated for a campaign to ex-
terminate bandits, already have taken
the field against these leaders in the
Laguna district.
Latest advices concerning General Viii
la say that he is in the vicinity of GHer-
zero, where, according to statements by
his supporters, he is safe from pursuing
Carranza forces, pending completion of
his plans to reorganize an army to take
the field, with Argumedo and other
leaders, against the de facto government
of Mexico.

plying to many adverse criticisms of his

In the ten months from January to
