Sen. Sheppard Of Texas has
brought 10 Washington this winter
a proposed prohibition amendment
much more drastic than the Hob
son bin. which was pressed at sew
eral sessions.
The Sheppard amendment is more
sweeping and would make the ma
ton about as dry as legislation alone
can do. The Texas sOlon viii also
push bills for prohibition in the
District OF Columbia and a dry
measure for the Hawaiian islands
Behind Mr.. Sheppard is the national
legislative committee of the Anti
Saloon league Of America The lat
ter is now a powerful organization
with plenty Of the sinews of war TO
stack up against the money chests
of the distillers and brewers.
The advocates of liquor licenses
declare today sees the crest of a
prohibition wave which is about TO
recede. as other dry waves have in
the past In refuting this the anti
saloon opponents point TO the activ-
tiles in the states which have pro-
hibition but are putting into force
stricter and more detailed laws,
making the consumption of liquor
difficult if not impossible.

tt is a curious and at the same

The solid south and the solid west,
the latter a new factor i'm politics,
elected Wilson This is. of course. a
generalization. one or two south
ern states are not dry yet, and one
or two western states voted for
Hughes. But the anti-liquor and
new democratic line-ups form a
pretty close parallel as parallels go.
When William J. Bryan an
nounced a few weeks ago that he
would devote the next four years TO
making the democratic party a dry
party. he did not espouse a hopeless
cause. so intelligent and we'll in

ponents' example.
Just TO sum up again the liquor
situation as it stands today: Four
states voted dry this fall and two
more elected legislatures pledged 70
dry laws. making % assured dry
states out of the as. or a majority
of two. Sixty per cent OF the pop
ulation and 50 per cent of the area
of the United States is now under
prohibition

arrangements to so dry Every dry
state but six is now democratic.

comes salOonless, breaking the rule
that all the large cities of the coun-

Mr.. Bryan's call for dry nation
was contained in the issue of the
Commoner. his weekly newspaper,
just after election. Il read:
Let the dry democrats begin
work at once 20 secure control OF
the democratic organization. state
and national. Nearly half the states
are now dry, and the number will
be swelled TO nearly if not quite 30
before 1920. To take the side of the

In New Jersey there will be

saloons went out OF business in the

TO the peculiar Raines Law. only
townships can vote on the question

Overnight prohibition has become

For years Hoosier political leaders
have sidetracked the question. either
because they were opposed TO it and

and not a political one.

But the spread of prohibition has
as yet had little noticeable effect
on the total consumption Of liquor
in the United States.
In 1900, 13S,OS7,34S gallons of
spirits were withdrawn from ware
houses for use. This is the best
measure of consumption In 1905
the amount has risen TO 215,557,323,
and in 1913 To 276.7S4,540. The
record year was that ended June 80,
1914. with 2S2.036,4 $50 gallons. In
1915 the amount Withdrawn de-
creased To 253.66S,341 but only the
pronounced dry partisan would find
comfort in this, for the fiscal year
covered the last half of 1914, and
the first half of 1915. a period of
very hard times. In hard times the
consumption of liquors, as of al
most everything else, naturally
drops of.
The wet contention that liquor
consumption is up To its old stand
ard is borne out by the figures
showing the internal revenue liquor
receipts for 1916. Distilled liquors
of all sorts yielded the government
$15S.O9S.177 in 1914; S144619.699 In
1915; and $15s,6S2,439, or very
near the record in the fiscal year of
916.
Either a great deal Of liquor is
drunk in dry states or the wet
states are increasing the AMOUNT
drunk per individual very much.
Probably a little of both
The drys blame the old interstate
commerce laws and believe the
operation of the Webb bill, which
removes governmental sanction
from shipments of liquors to dry
states. viii soon show a powerful
effect. National prohibition, they
say, would reduce drinking TO the
scantv product of a few thousand
moonshine stills and small cellar
breweries. and the consumption Of
alcohol would drop to a tiny frac-
ton of its present amount.
