it is known fact that nothing brings
about reversal vote in favor OF open
saloons SO speedily as a conviction on
the part of the voters that the dry
law is falling to prevent the sale OF
liquor. The liquor interests are well
aware of this fact, and have per-
sistently endeavored to break down
temperance sentiment In dry commu-
mites by overriding the viii Of the
people by shipping liquor into thos"
communities
The bone-dry law VIII utterly de-
stroy one of the most effective argu-
ments the vets have hal for the per-
petuation of the license system.

Editor Richmond NIrgiDlan,
Sir,-ft rather amused me to read
your editorial this morning under the
title. Mr. Banks Takes Big Con-
tract
As far as the charge brought by
e. A Banks against Commissioner
Peters for permitting the sale of GER
tain bevera ges urul the 2sth of Janu-
AIRY last is concerned, Mr.. Banks is
technically right, but not reasonably
righ, When l read in the papers
that Mr.. Peters had given the citizens
a certain time TO do away with pro-
scribed beverages, the first thought
that poped into my head was that
Mr. Peters was very fair and reason
able in giving out warning and
stating a definite time limit.
AS far as Mr.. Banks fourth article
in his platform is concerned, where
1t would disfranchise all persons con-
nectcd in any way with liquor in
terests. it is simply impossible, as
it would be raShly unconstitutional.

PREPARES
TO SEIZE ALL BARS
AND DISTILLERIES

NEW YORK. July "A London
dispatch TO the Sun says:
"The government clearly showed its
hand yesterday and indicated a dis
position to establish a government
monopoly OF liquor traffic and manu-
facture by appointing commissions to
Investigate and report on the subject.
The instructions to the commits
sions, one each for Ireland, Scotland,
England. and Wales. say:
The government, being OF the
opinion that II may be necessary
shortly, as an urgent war measure. to
assume control OF the supply and
manufacture Of intoxicating liquors
during the war and demobilization
after the war. and as such control
involves the purchase after the war
Of the interests involved, you are
hereby to appoint a commission to in
ouire and report on the terms upon
which the interests should be acquired
and the financial arrangements which
should be made
The announcement Of such a pro-
gram Is especially disappointing TO
the liquor interests, which until the
last hoped the government might be
satisfied to assume control during the
war and then restore old conditions.
Instead, the government commits It.
self to immediate control and pur-
chase after the war, which IL carried
out, would end the hope OF re-estab-
fishing the liquor industry as an in
dependent affair.
''The general belief Is that such a
program would open the way for a
temperance agitation which would
shortly make the kingdom dry, for as
soon as the government assumes con-
troll of the business It would be i'm
possible for it to employ great sums
of money in politics and propaganda
as heretofore"

NATIONAL ARMY OF US.
Is NAME SUGGESTED
BOrland Says Title Should Not
Garry Consumption Idea.

Congressman william p. Borland Of
Missouri has started . movement In
the House for legislation that will
officially designate the army that IL
to 90 to France under the selective
draft law, as the National Army OF
the United States" Mr.. Borland says
that this title alone fts the new army.
The name Of the National Army OF
the United States has been given
to the army very generally BY the
press and the public" said Mr.. Bor-
land today. but in official circles
there seems to be confusion regarding
its designation. There seems to be .
disposition to attach TO IL some sort
Of q descriptive adjective that win
indicate that Il IL q drafted army.
in my Judgment this IL wrong.
This force IL more truly national
than any we have ever had. II IL the
result of the universal response Of
the nation to the call of the flag and
combines the best spirit OF the volun-
teer with the solidarity OF the regu-
lar troops. II would be q mistake to
call II by any other name than tbs
National Army for II goes abroad
representing every section Of our
country and every class Of citizens
II should carry with IL no other quail
flying title or descriptive phrase"

WILSON ORDERS HOOVER
TO START FOOD WORK
President Is Nettled By DilatOry
Tactics In Congress.

Because Of dilatory tactics in Con
gress in handling the Administration
food control bill. President Wilson has
directed Herbert c. Hoover, the food
commissioner, to begin at once the
work contemplated by the measure.
The Presidents order is given In a
letter to Mr.. Hoover. 1t calls upon
the commissioner to proceed with
operations that will conserve the food
supply and eliminate waste
The letter. IN part. follows:
1T seems to me that the inaugura-
ton OF that portion of the plan for
food administration which contem'
plates a national mobilization OF the
great voluntary forces of the country
which are ready to work toward saw
ing food and eliminating waste ad.
mits Of no further delay.
The approaching harvesting, the
immediate necessity for wise use and
saving, not only In food, but in all
other expenditures: the many undi-
rected and overlapping efforts being
made toward this end. all press for
national direction and Inspiration.
While IL would in many ways be de-
sirable to wait complete legislation
establishing the food administration,
II appears to me that so far as volun-
tary effort can be assembled we should
not wait any longer, and, therefore,
would be very glad IL you would pro
coed in those directions at once"

him, Constable Jim" Martin. of this

an artificial leg rather than the one
Of nesh and blood which he lost when
. boy in a railroad accident.
Five years ago. while cunning,
Martin received full charge OF
buckshot at close range into his ar
tihcial leg. which was so badly shat
tered that he had to buy a new one.
Three years ago a vicious dog at.
tackled Martin while he was opsrat-
ing his ice route, and after sinking
his fangs into Martins artificial leg
for fve minutes withdrew shame
facedly after losing two teeth in the
knee joint. in which Martin held II a
prisoner for that time
He met with his third lucky acct
dent yesterday. while cleaning a
new horse, which he had Just pur-
chased. the animal raised its hind
leg and planted a terrific kick on the
wooden leg, leaving the entire mark
OF the iron horseshoe on the steel
part.
Artificial limbs are a nuisance
sometimes" said Martin. but there
are times when l find mine very use
