Vets Say History Is Repeating Itself Prohibition Wave Is Now At Its Flood

Has the prohibition wave reached it's flood or will it sweep the coun- tryo Is the present furious fight ing the Battle of the Marne or the stormins of nrisrend?
 This question is brought foycibly forward by the remarkable record of the "drys" in 1915, and by the news reports received from almost every state telling of the arduous preparations made by both sides ia the conflict for the critical campaigns of 1916
 Nineteen states now have dry laws. Of these seven, Arkansas, Washing ton, Idaho, Colorado, Oregon and south Carolina have enacted prolNiB tion decrees which come into cf feet the first day of next month while Virginia's prohibition law starts operation November l, 1916.
 Prohibition leaders are flushed with victory. In the year 1916 SIN states-Nermont, Michigan, South Da- kota. Nebraska, Montana. California and probably a seventh, Florida- will vote on prohibition. The dry" generals assert they will capture large proportion of these, besides gaining victories in local option fights in every commonwealth Of tue Union not already in the dry" column.
 On the other hand. the brewers and distillers call attention the fact that in 1890 a prohibition wave dashed nearly as high as this one Between 1850 and 1860 twelve states Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Isl and, Vermont Connecticut, Delawarr, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire and New York enacted prohibition, and later Kan, sas and both the Dakotas had joinee the dry" ranks.
 Pendulum Swings Back.
 The movement soon died out, all except three Of the dry" states r. peallns or amending their laws to such an extent as to make them inopeIatigc The t'rae sta es t'.at remained steadfastly dry were Maine, Kansas and North Dakota.
 Liauor nagnates say they detect signs that the present movement is today in the same state as the preyi- GUS one was just twenty-five Eaar5- CT almost a generation, ago. Through out the country, they say, a ffae- ton is setting in.
 Brewers declare that their efforts to prove beers and light wines Tot deleterious to health or prosperity have been convincing. The evils of prohibition, "near beer,' "bo0tlcG ging" and hypocrisy are being more largely recognized, they maintain, and the people are changing from fanaticism to a more moderate ana reasonable attitude.
 It is indeed true, as the liquor men state, that anti-drink sentiment has risen and fallen in this country, like a wave dashing on the sand and then retreatin2 for about a hundred years. The flood tide of 1890 was not the first one.
 The first great movement for tenn perance was seen a century ago. Moral suasion was the reliance of the refo1mers, and the force of the movement soon died out
 There is observable in the prCti bition movement a constant tenden cy to get closer to the seat of the trouble First, the drinker was at tackled. Then the liquor dealer was the object of assault, and today the "drys" are after the manufacturer, the brewer, the distiller and the

 If the prohibition law of Idaho. effective January 1. is enforced, that state will be the most arid region in the United States, for it is co1- ceded that Idaho boasts of the most stringent prohibition statute of any state in the Union. The law makes possession of liquor for personal consumption a crime, and such is expressly prohibited. Intoxicating or fermented beverages of any kind cannot be manufactured within tEc borders of the state Provision IS made for the use of liquor for saCra- mental, mechanical and medicinal purposes, for which it can be pro- cured from drug stores on proper affidavit and certificate
 Gov. Moses Alexander has served notice on the prosecuting attorneys and sheriffs of all counties that he will see the law is strictly enforced If the county officers do not do their duty, the governor notified the it may result in their removal.
 The finding of liquor in the DOS session of any person in the state except when retained under a doc tors prescription or on a certificate that it is used for sacramcntal or mechanical purposes, is prima facie evidence of violation of the law Seattle Times.
