PROHIBITION
SOON TOCOME
William J. Bryan Says "Dry"
Nation Now is important
War Necessity

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Speaking
Of that phase OF the food situation con-
rected with the manufacture OF alec.
holic drinks, William Jennings Bryan,
who has been speaking in the Far
West, said he believed that national
prohibition would soon come anyway.
but that the war furnishes two argp
| ments in addition to those that are
permanent in character.
In the first place" he said, I'VE
cannot afford to allow 100000
worth OF grain to be converted into
alcohol when it is needed for bread.
To urge an increase in garden space
and yet be Indifferent to the CONVEX.
sion OF the products OF our pratries
into alcohol would be saving at the
spigot and wasting at the bunghOle.
The second argument is found In the
fact that alcohol impairs efficiency,
and we cannot, at a crisis like this,
permit an impairment Of efficiency
either in our soldiers or in our pro-
ducers."
In regard to the sentiment In favor
Of prohibition as a war measure, as
he has found 1t In his travels through
the country. Mr.. Bryan said that not
only are the regular prohibitionists,
temperance and anttsaloon people in
favor Of 1t, as, Of course, they must
be, but large number Of others who
view the matter from the standpoint
Of an economic and social necessity
are also in favor Of such a measure.
Responding to the request Of the
Secretary Of Agriculture, Mr.. Bryan
has been calling the attention Of his
audiences to the departments pro-
gram Of fixing, II necessary a mini.
mum price at which products may be
bought from the farmer, in order that
the greatly increased production that
the producer is asked to bring about
may not serve to give the farmer rela.
lively decreased returns; and on the
other hand, the necessity Of maximum
price at which food may be sold in
order that markets may not be cor.
nered" and the consumer made tn
pay an abnormal and unjust price.
Calling attention to the important
results obtained/by the 300,0 boys
and girls who are organized in the
form Of corn clubs and other produc.
ing associations, Mr. Bryan has, in his
addresses, cited the fact that, IL TO-.
100000 out of the %, 600, 900 boys and
girls in the United States will, during
the coming summer, grow only a small
part Of what II has been proved they
can produce, food valued at more than
$100,000,000 will be added to the re-
sources Of the country, and a value
much greater than this added to the
experience Of the young men and WON.

OUR COUNTRY IN CONFLICT

"Bv fire and by his sword will the
Lord plead with all flesh" 1sai. Sc: 16
One of the most recent statements
Of the president Of France was to the
effect that our presidents address anG
the action of congress were the mos;
decisive events in the great war. In
this act the great and rich republic
has allied herself with the free peo'
pies Of Europe, for the safeguarding
of democracy. That which the strug
Cling nations needed was not our
wealth and resources in men and III
provisions, but that which was EN-
phasized by the president Of France
was our moral support The ideal
behind the struggle is the end Of Ger
man autocracy and militarism, the
emancipation of the peoples. We en-
ter the war in order that we may safe
guard free institutions. We seek to
keep liberty for ourselves. The only
way to do this is to achieve liberty
for others.
Perhaps the most disgusting spec
tacle in this present crisis is the num-
Der Of so-called men in, this country
who are willing 10 plsy the coward.
We must remember that life is not 80
precious as the ideal which is at stake
the spirit of democracy and Of liber-
tv. Each man makes his choice. We,
il we are true to the ideals OF our
founders, must represent independ'
ence and self-government Therefore,
so far as the United States Is con
cerned, the war cannot close until
Prussianism has been destroyed. And
yet there are pacifists, there are Ger
man-Americans, there are towards in
this country who will have to remem-
Der that with malignant hearts and
treacherous speech they did everything
they could directly or indirectly tC
defend iron militarism, to destroy the
integrity of this great republic, that
in the last analysis Germany might be
increased No word OF condemnation
do they utter at the atrocities Of mill
tarism on the one hand, no act do they
perform in defense Of Gods weak and
the institutions which protect them on
the other.
Years ago President Lincoln made
the statement that he was not anx-
ious about whether God was on our
side, nut was deeply concerned with
the question whether we were on
Gods side. The difference mere is
the difference between the attitude Of
Germany and the United States in this
war. The one cried, God with u.s."
We change this saying We are with
God" And it is good to know that
after two years and a half Of inaction
We have at least entered on the side
Of Gods little ones, for their protec-
ton, on the side Of free institutions.
England and France for years have
been battling fcr the same funda
mental ideas and ideals in Europe
for which our forefathers fought in
America in 1875. The time for mac
ton has passed. Our place now is no.
in office and factory, not In coWardly

tional need. The place for our flag is
not in some church decoration, or in
some closet to be taken out on special
occasion, but above the French
trenches.
The love Of our native land, the
ideals for which our forefathers bled
and died, the hercism of our founders,
the traditions of this land-all these
urge Ts to support the president and
his advisors. For behind this con
flict on which We have entered thera
are certain fundamentals of greatness
which we as country must sacrifice
If the principles Of autocracy triumph
over democracy.
Our liberties have been bought at
the cost Of blood. Are we to sell them
common fodder" Our forefathers
have given vows to US through their
long years of self-sacrifice. Our de-
mocracy incarnates the sanity of
Washington, the clear vision of Ham
ilton, the intellectual majesty of Web
ster, the pity and love of Lincoln.
Our country has bestowed on us
benefits which we did not earn.
Liberty has been guaranteed for US by
those noble ones who have gone be-.
fore. No true American in these criti-
cal days has room for any adverse or
base thought when he thinks of the
issues at stake and Of the place which
we as a free people occupy in the
world. The pacifists are seeking to
learn the conditions Of peace Let US
hope that that peace which we seek
will be the peace which comes from
self-government, the peace that fol-
lows the sanctity Of treaties, the peace
which follows the overthrow Of autoc-
racy and militarism, the peace that
secures the independence of small ma
tions, the peace that is solid and en-
during because it is founded upon JUS
tice and humanity.

Fines amounting to $4,000 have
been imposed by the United States
district court, recently sitting in Phil

of Pennsylvania in the winding up of
the government brewery probe into
the raising OF a "slush fund" Of ST.
100000 to eject Senator Penrose and
sc members Of Congress in the 1914
election in Pennsylvania. The Penn

directed by Edward S. Schmidt and
John Gardiner, millionaire Philadel-

the power behind booze corruption in

LAW RESTRICTS
BOOZE DELIVERY

Attention was called by the Massa-
| chusetts Anti-Saloon League recent
ly to a provision in the liquor law
which the league believes would be
interpreted by the courts to prohibit
the delivery Of packages of intoxicat-
! ing liquors TO consignees at railroad
and railway freight iepot1. Since
! this Is the only way by which persons
may get intoxicants in the bone dry
cities and towns which have refused
to grant pony express permits, an in
depreciation Of the law in the manner
believed by the league to be possible
would prove to be another important
legal step in the direction Of prohfbi.
ton.
1t was to the authorities of Newton
that attention was called to the
subject. Since Newton, acting I'M
der the recent Pony Express Restric-
ton Act Of the Legislature, refused
to grant permits to express compan-
les to bring liquors into the city, some
persons have been calling at the rail-
road freight depots to get liquors
which they had ordered sent to them
from Boston by freight. The same
situation has presented itself in others
of the cities and towns which have re-
fused to grant pony express licenses.
Certain Of the Newton authorities,
wishing to stop the practise, inquired
Of the AntiSaloon League as to whes
Their there was any way to stop It.
Attention was called to the provision
in question and the authorities were
advised to consult their city solicitor.
Previously, the league had put the
question to leading attorneys of the
state and had received an opinion that
the law could be interpreted to stop
the railroad and railway freight de-
partments from making deliveries to
persons to whom intoxicants were
consigned. T.
The law, Section 40 Of Chapter 100
of the Revised Laws, as amended,
states that packages Of liquors which
are sent by railroad or railway freight
shall be plainly marked on the out.
side with the name and address by
street and number, If there be such"
of the person to whom the liquors are
consigned. Continuing, the law says
that delivery of such liquors to the
consignee at any other place than Is
thereon marked" shall be deemed to
be a sale. Sales in "bone-dry" nos
license territory are, Of course, Illegal.
