CINCINNATI IS
R-c0AIR0lltO
Cites Hospital AS illustrations: Says 1t
Is Absolutely Controlled by Liquor
Families; Cost Is Heavy.

That Cincinnati this year ought to
be the center OF nationwide prohi-
btion campaign was the declaration
of Dr. s. p. Kramer. speaking at the
Ninth Street Baptist church. where
there was organized the Hamilton
County Dry Federation.
Cincinnati is not overwhelmingly
wet because Cincinnati likes to drink
whiskey." he said. but because this is
the national market for the whiskey
traffic. and it is bound up with it
economically. socially and politically.
Its banks are carrying u large per-
centage of the nations whiskey paper.
and for that reason alone it's politics,
as well as it's institutions. are con-
trolled by the whiskey dealers"
The people of the city. he said.
should he warned against the very
grave danger that exists by reason OF
these facts"
This nation is surely going dry"
DIR. Kramer continued. when the
whiskey f1nanciers of Cincinnati wax e
up to the fact. we will he found to DO
holding the bag. 1t will mean fnan-
cial ruin 10 many Of our social and
political leaders"
The psychology OF the whiskey busi-
ness. Or. Kramer said. is such that II
makes for wild extravaganza In the
cost of building and maintaining the
city's institutions. AS an illustration
he cited a local hospital which. he
said. was being operated al "A cost of
ss50.0o0 year to the taxpayers.
1T is absolutely controlled by our
whiskey families" he went on. Sew
enty-five per cent Of its inmates are
there directly or indirectly by reason
OF alcohol. The cost OF building the
institution and the maintenance of IL
bear all the marks of the widest OK
travagsnce of the champagne sales

The Motor Situation
 As Viewed by the Hudson Company
Demand and Supply

No other motor shows anywhere like per fOrmance endurance.
 Last year the Super-Six won all the worthwhile records. In speed, in hillcmbing in long distance and endurance 1t out-performed every rival In en- durance tests it exceed high 52 per cent And there nearly 3O,OO0 Hudson Super Sizes Ill There 3O,0 900 enthusiastic owners. Last year at this time there were almost none for the Super-Six new.
 Men Must Have It
 This year, fine car buyers by the tens of thou sands will demand the Super-Six. They know its supremacy Our claims of year ago have been proven in hundred recorded tests.
 Last year, buyers forced to other cars did not know what they missed. This year they do know. Lesser will not content them. The demand for the Super-Six this year will be over whelming.
 New Hudson Features
 This years Hudsons have shutter on the front-a wonderful gasoline saver. They have notormeter SO the driver regulate engine heat. They have a primer, which the driver operates from the dashboard They have plaited upholstery. They have bodies which were first moded in wax, then sculptured to perfection. Then built by famous craftsmen with every dainty touch
 And still this car-the greatest car in the world undersells many rivals. In fact, no other front rank sells anywhere near so low.
 Choose Your Car Now '. Our advice to all who intend to buy fine cars is to select that at once. Many of you have already decided the Hudson Super-Sx. More of you will choose it when you know.
 At this moment, we think, you get delivery at about any time you say. The precedents show that i'll month or two you cannot.
 We urge this to save disappointment. To avoid the il-feeling that is caused by delay. The Hudson has lost much goodwill in the past year by keep ing thousands waiting. We shall not lose yours in that way if you'll act today. " MPANY, DETROIT, MICH.

Last springs demand for the Hudson Super Six least five times the supply:
 Thousands of buyers waited weeks for their cars. Thousands after waiting long, turned to other cars And thousands, when they our waiting list, discouraged in advance.
 We figure that 15 900 people forced to take cars which they wanted less.
 This Springs Outlook All winter long have kept factories ming under pressure Yet Hudson dealers have only small stocks ahead
 Our production will be only one-ffth thar last year. That is factory limit.
 Lack of freight cars is holding back shipments. There are frequent complete embargoes No Hud- son dealer, before the active spring demand, can get any large stock.
 Even at this writing, with deep snow on the ground deliver many by road. Today 31 cars start for Columbus, Ohio-191 miles away.
 The War Situation
 Many motor car plants, in event of war, are likely to be commandeered. So with steel plants which furnish motor car materials. So with battery pants electric plants, and others whom we depend. This is contingency which can analyze, but which all of us must consider.
 Buying Capacity
 The general belief is that, whatever comes, this will be year of unexampled prosperity The tanners getting high prices. The demand for their products is not likely to lessen. And the evidence is that most lines of industry are going to be taxed to the limit
 No previous year has at this season promised so wide demand for

RUNS OFF GRADE AND
DIES FROM INJURIES

George Mclean, of Sterling, met
with fatal accident, Friday night
and died at Pocatello, Sunday even
ing. He, with his wife and friend,
were taking little trip and were
motoring on the high line road north
of Pocatello. Mr.. Mclean, who was
somewhat inexperienced, ran the car
off of the grade, which was very
high. The car turned over twice and
pinned him underneath, but the
other two occupants escaped unin-
jured. In addition to his leg be-
ing broken, internal injuries, which
caused his death, resulted;
Mr.. Mclean is well known and
highly respected. He was one of the
first settlers of the American Falls
tract, was active in the canal project
and cleared the sage brush from
much Of that country. AS president
and manager of the Sterling Town
site company he did much in laying
out Sterling; and since that time has
been progressive and influential
citizen. He was recently married at
American Falls. t..
Mr.. Mclean was booster by ma
tural talent. enthusiastic and ener-
getic in putting life into new in
dustries. He accomplished much for
Sterling, giving himself to every
new project for improvement. His
news column from Sterling led all
correspondents for The Idaho Repub-
lican by it's spice and newsy contents.
His loss is a severe one for the
Sterling community, and will be felt
keenly by his fellow citizens.
The body will be brought to Ster-
ling, Tuesday morning, by train, and
the funeral in charge of the Odd Fell
lows lodge will follow Immediately.

PROSECUTION FOR ..+z
SALE TO SOLDIERS

One result of the shooting of Rob-
ert McCready at Newburgh by ma
tional guardsmen on the fourth of
July has been the arrest of Joseph
Malloy, bartender, on charge of
selling liquor to a member of the
United States army in uniform, in
violation of section IL of the federal
law of 1917 relating to sale of IL
quor to soldiers. Malloy is not regu-
larly employed as bartender but
helps out at times.
Investigation into McCready's
death disclosed the sale of liquor to
members of the Forthy-seventh regi-
ment, who are in the United States
service, and that Malloy had sold
drinks to three members of the regi-
ment. Malloy, who had been de-
tanned as a witness in the shooting
case, was notified Friday afternoon
of the charge against him, which was
preferred by Chief Of Police Brown.
The warrant for his arrest was is-
sued by United States Commissioner
Edward J. Collins, who remanded
him in default of 81, 500 bail for ex-
animation this afternoon. Assistant
United States District Attorney
Roosa of New York city will conduct
the prosecution against Malloy.
Strict enforcement of the federal
law relating to sale of liquor to
soldiers is intended by the United
States authorities who expect local
officials to assist them. Strict en-
forcement of the statute in Ulster
county since its passage would have
saved much trouble to some of the
men in uniform and future compli-
ance with the law undoubtedly will
save trouble to hotel and saloon
keepers and their employees.
