AN EMPTY BOAST

The average American doubtless
believes and is inclined to boast that
this is the richest and most generous
nation on the face of the earth. This
boast is not justified by the facts.
Take the Red Cross work of allevi-
ating suffering, for instance. Rus
STA has 100000 mem bers OF
the Red Cross Germany has 1,400,-
600 and little Japan. with a popula-
ton of but 100000, has 1907
600 members, while the United
States, with population of over
lOO,OOO,OOO has but 100000 Red
Cross workers.
Again, take the contributions to
the RELIEF of the suffering Belgians.
Well posted authorities estimate that
over $500, 100000 has been raised
Tor this worthy cause and of that
vast sum but $40, 100000 has been
contributed by the United States.

4 BONE DRY STATE

Last Monday Governor Lister
signed a bill which promises to make
this commonwealth bone dry. There
was no emergency clause attached to
the bill so that its opponents could
it up until the next general election
by securing the necessary number of
signatures on a referendum petition.
Steps to inaugurate a referendum
campaign had been taken but will
probably be abandoned because of
the action of congress in passing a
bill which prohibits the Importation
of intoxicating liquor into states
which have forbidden the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicants. This
national legislation will accomplish
the same purpose as the new state
law, and therefore nothing could be
gained by holding up the latter by a
referendum petition, and it will
probably be allowed to go into force
and effect with out opposition.
It's provisions are drastic and
sweeping as shown by the following
summary:
The act prohibits the manufacture,
sale, reception, possession or han
ding of any intoxicating liquors
other than alcohol. The only persons
permitted to have intoxicants are
clergymen, rabbis and priests actu-
ally engaged in ministering to a re-
ligious congregation. They may
have certain liquor, under the most
drastic restrictions, for sacramento
purposes.
Provision is made for the purchase
of alcohol for manufacturing,
hygienic or medicinal purposes by
securing a permit from the county
auditor. No druggist may sell alco-
hol except on that permit.
Physicians may not prescribe alco-
hol, but they may administer it in
any form so long as it can not be
used as a beverage.
Neither the physician nor the
druggist may com pound alcohol with
any substance which may be used
as a beverage.
Wholesale and retail druggists,
manufacturing chemists and hospit-
ais having more than 25 beds may
either import or purchase alcohol on
licenses secured from the county au-
ditor. These licenses are issued only
after hearings attended by the prose
cutting attorney, at which the appli-
cant gives convincing proof of his
needs in his business.
The penalties provided are doubly
severe. compared with those of in
itiative No. 8. The first offense for
selling or having in ones possession
any liquor Is fine OF not less than
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1917-02-23

$99 and not more than $3.50, or i'm
prlsonment of not less than 80 nor
more than 80 days in Jail. or both
fine and Imprisonment.
The second offense means. both
line and Imprisonment. The fine
ranges from 5000 to $500 and the
Jail sentence from 80 days to six
months.
The third offense is punishable by
sentence of from one to five years
in the penitentiary.
The bill also defines two separate
crimes, A "jointist" is a nerson
VINO maintains a place where liquor
Is sold, and "bootlegger" is a per-
son who sells liquor without any
place of business. When a person is
convicted of being CONTEST" or a
'bootlegger," the authorities at the
penitentiary begin at once to set a
cell in order for the newcomer.
The fact that such drastic meas
ure could pass the legislature with
little opposition affords conclusive
proof that the people of this com
monwealth are so we'll satisfied with
the operation of partial prohibition
that they have decided that it will
be for their best interests to totally
outlaw the use of liquor. BY the
abuse of the permit system, the ad-
yocates of personal liberty have
brought this drastic legislation upon
themselves.
Some no doubt will feel that the
state and nation are unduly infring-
ing upon their rights as citizens, but
their only remedy will be to move to
some wet state, for Washington be-
lieyes in prohibition and has gone,
bone dry for keeps"

SPLENDID ATTRACTION
AT THE THEATORIUM

Pictures taken on the firing line
in Flanders, with death-dealing pro-
jectiles bursting about at the time,
will be among those shown at the
Theatorium on Thursday, March l g,
in connection with a lecture upon
battlefield experiences by DR.. Earl V.
Morrow, who has just returned from
year and half hospital service in
Belgium. DR.. Morrow was in charge
of the American Red Cross in the sec
ton embracing Belgium, and as a re-
ward for the services he performed
there he was personally decorated by
King Albert with the Order of Leo
pOld, or the Belgium legion of honor.
DR.. Morrow's account of his ex-
periences at the front, his story of
life in the trenches, and his tales of
pathetics occurrences in the field hos
pitfalls will give a most realistic idea
of what is happening today along the
miles of battlefront in Europe and
will show the heroic sacrifices being
made by the valiant soldiers of each
army in the titanic struggle. More
than this, DR.. Morrow's lecture will
also point out the futility of such
warfare as is now being waged be-
tween the central powers and the
allies, and in this way will have it's
share in the growing movement for
a lasting and universal peace.

CAN NOW BLOW OLD WHISTLE
Tooter of Steamer Northwest Blown
off Eleven Years Ago Brought
to Surface.

Captain Delude. in charge of the
governments channel organization on
the COwlitz river with the dredge Mon
ticello. was surprised on being pre-
scented with whistle that blew off a
steamer he commanded eleven years
ago. relates the Portland Oregonian.
In 1906 he was master of the steam
or Northwest of the Kellogg feet,
which was lost on the Skpena river in
British Columbia during the Cowlitz
flood.
The Northwest was approaching
Stella and Captain Delude counted on
n gladstone greeting to the residents
in the way of prolonged whistle
salute. Instead, the pipe was unequal
to the strain of such burst of steam
and overheard went the whistle.
The Monticello was engaged about
the same spot the other day when
the mate. noticing an odd mass in a
bucketful of material brought to the
surface, picked out the lost whistle.
It is recalled by mariners that years
ago the steamer Bailey Gatzert lost
her whistle in the same way when
racing on Puget sound.

Mud Flats NETTING Fortunes.

Five years ago Oakland creek, near

name "harbOr." was a marine grave
yard. Today, observes a writer, il
stands as one of the leading shipbuild-

a study in contrasts it is without par
allel. Five years ago ten-acre tracts
along its shores could be had for 500
