However. IL the Democratic party Is

one, am going to leave the Democratic
party. l do not believe in prohibition.
Prohibition is not temperance. since tenn

ton. calmness, judgment, and justice.
Prohibition is radicalism run wild II IL
an attempt to bring back to American
life that Puritanism which made the
scourge. the branding iron. and the
penal law the agencies Of its perverted
moralities, and which rejected the peace
full. kindly ministrations Of the Man OF
Sorrows and substituted therefor the
fire and ferocity of the zealot and the
viOlences and vagaries OF the fanatic.
Like any other perversion OF desir-
able thing, this perversion Of temperance
called prohibition appears to be Graded
in ignorance. fostered in hysteria, voiced
by intolerance, and marshaled by tyran-
ny. In principle and in practice prohibit
ton is a negation of American freedom
and personal liberty: in its essence II Is
a denial of the laws Of nature; and In
its purpose a pathetic attempt to stife

men of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of the United States today

pectations OF those who have been
working to raise it by just 81 500, 900.
Corcoran Thorn, chairman of the
pension fund committee for the Wash.
ington diocese, today received a teIe-
gram from Bishop william Lawrence,
in New York, father of the pension
plan and chairman OF the national
committee, stating that returns up to
today. when the 100000 fund was
to have been completed, amounted to
S6,5OO,OO0, and that many returns
were yet to be received.
Mr.. Thorn said that while all the
returns from the Washington diocese
were not in hand, he estimated that
Washington's share Of the fund will
reach about $4,000.

EXCISE FORCE TO
LOSE POSITIONS
Commissioners and Clerical
Force Are LegisIated Out
of Office.

The members of the Excise Board,
with its office force, are automati-
cally legislated out of office with the
passage OF the Sheppard bill, pro-
vided, OF course, that the President
signs the bill and IL becomes a law.
The members of the board who are
thus Iegislated out OF office are An
drew ]. Cummings, chairman: Henry
s. Baker and Cotter T. Bride. The
members were appointed for q term
of three years. Mr.. Cummings term
would have expired August 20, 1919;
Mr.. Bakers, on July I, 1919, and Mr..
Brides on July /, 1917.
The office force consists of Edward
J. Hart, secretary; Waldo C. Hibbs,
inspector, and Benjamin F. Harris,
messenger.
Washington has been wet since its
foundation. according to DR.. William
Tindall. historian Of the District The
first legislative act authorizing the sale
of spirituous liquors was approved on
May Is. 1903. The high cost OF living is
nothing i'm comparison with the increase
in the cost OF drinking Of that day.
For keeping an ordinary" where liquor
was sold at retail. the license fee was
SIS a year. For retailing spirituous liq-
uors in quantities not less than a pint"
the~fee was so.
The last license issued was to Bernard
Endres. of 1015 street northwest Two
applications for saloon licenses are pend
ing, but 1t is expected by the board
that they will be withdrawn.

DISTRICTS ARIDITY
CHEERS BALTIMORE
Maryland Liquor Dealers Pre-
pare for Record Business
After November !.

News that Washington had been
voted dry" by the House, flashed
by telegraph and telephone to Balti-
more last night when the final vote
was taken, was received with enthusi-
asm by wholesale and retail liquor
dealers of the Monumental City.
Today, according to reports from
Baltimore, these interests are prepar-
ing to do the biggest business of
their lives after November i.
Baltimore will be the nearest "wet"
city to Washington. Already, since
Virginia and the Carolinas stepped in
to the dry" column, the liquor houses
as we'll as the express companies
handling their wares, are "swamped"
at regular intervals, when holiday
supplies are needed in those States.
ExpansIon In Order.
Now, since a city of $50. 900 must de-
pend largely upon Baltimore for its
wet goods, demands upon the liquor
houses there cannot be met unless
their places are enlarged, and more
licenses are issuel.
While the Sheppard bill will curtail
the legal shipping OF whisky into the
District, II will be impossible. as has
been shown IN other dry States, to
prevent, it being smuggled into the
city in trunks, sultcases, grocery
boxes and barrels. As a result, most
OF the spirituous liquors to be con-
stunned here will come from Baltimore.
A dispatch from Baltimore today
says:
"a falling off In the number Of sa-
looms in Baltimore this year is not
anticipated. Each year for a num-
Der past showed fewer saloons, be-
cause OF the failure OF some saloon
keepers to make sufficient out of the
business to pay the license tax Of

Increase Now Expected.

ference from 1915, and it was thought
that all the weaker Z saloonkeepers
had been forced out and there would
be no further decrease An increase

way, without a word of warning
whatsoever, is most unfair. II will

The hope that President Wilson Will
veto the Sheppard bill for a dry Dis
trict, which passed the House last
night; determination to run their es-
Establishments until the last possible
day, and criticism of Congress for Its
action in passing the Sheppard bill

local brewing establishments today.

months old before 1t is retailed. Thus,
some of the breweries may stop brew
ing on June 1.
Affects Employment.
II the President signe the bill pass
ed by the House last night, approx
mately $500 men will be thrown out
of work in the District. The District
government will be deprived OF an
annual revenue of nearly 100000,
while the United States Government
will lose s15,5T5 yearly.
There are 1000 employees of the
267 saloons in Washington who will
lose their jobs, and 500 workers in
the breweries and distributing
agencies who will be thrown out OF
work when the Sheppard bill becomes
a law.
The basil upon which tho revenue
loEs to the District and the United
States Government is reckoned Is
that the annual tax upon each of the
retail liquor establishments in the
District is 81, 800, and for the whole.
FaIe houses, $500, while the revenue
received from wholesale end retail

licenses each year is Appropriated at
$I5,575, computed on the basis of the
present number of wholesale and re-
tail establishments.
Assessed Value, S563.24O.
The 5reweries here, which will go

whole, s563,24O, assessed. This is
supposed to be only two-thirds their
actual value, which would be worth
$S44, $50.

that their names be withheld:
