The Battle To Make
America Dry Has
Only Just Begun

The United States senate has passed
the Sheppard prohibition amendment by
a vote Of 65 70 20 and the measure IS
assured Of passage in the lower house.
That is a big victory for the forces Of
decency. It marks thefriumphant end
of long struggle 2%ainst legislative
inertia and political pressure.
But the battle IS far from won. The
greatest struggle is set to come
Passage Of tho amendment Is only the
opening smash in the great drive against
organized booze which must De fought
to finish before the United states can
be made safe for democracy.
The forces Of decency haye-rarr. ea
the enemy's first line trenches. bat the
hosts Of King Alcohol retain possession
of two strategic positions vi the utmost
Importance.
The first is found in the constitution
nj provision requiring that cansrtu-
tional amendment must be ratified oy
the legislatures Of three-fourths II tne
states in the union.
The second, on which the enemy IS
relying for ultimate victory Is the clause
in the amendment which makes II nu-.
and void unless ratified within six years
This means that the drys must secure
ratication Of the amendment in the -
states now under prohibitory laws ana
capture IL others before 1928.
Unless they can do this, the long fight
to line up congress on the side Of de-
cency will have been in vain, and the
campaign for boozeless America Will
have to be begun all over again.
In view of these facts, special respon-
sibilty rests upon the people Of the
state of Michigan.
Having registered by an overwhelm-
ing majority their conviction that liquor
has no place in the body polite II IS
now up to them to make their Will felt
in the councils of the nation.
Banished from the state by popular
verdict, the liquor interests will now con-
centrate all their efforts to prevent rati-
fication of the federal dry amendment
by the Michigan legislature.
Thousands of dollars will be spent and
expert political workers Will spread their
Vaccinations thru every voting precinct
in the state TO secure the election Of
men who will vote against the amend
ment
There never was time when the Sc
lection of the right kind of men TO repre-
sent the people of Michigan in their leg
islature was more imperative.
Unless they wish to be caught mapping,
the enemies of booze must begin right
now to campaign for the election to the
next legislature of men who have de-
cency, backbone and sense Of obliga-
ton to the community which they rep
resent
And, incidentally don't forget the all
important matter of women's suffrage.
Where the women exercise the ballot
booze is doomed.
Therefore. behooves every sincere
supporter of the Sheppard amendment
in congress to work for the passage Of
that other viii measure, the Susan T.
Anthony amendment for universal equal
suffrage.
And it is incumbent on every liquor
foe here at home 10 see that Michigan
women obtain full suffrage privilege at
the earliest possible date

AUTOMOBILE STRIKES WOMEN.
i Accident When Storrs Chauffeur Fails to Manage Car.

There was a peculiar accident on Main street, at the South Coventry trolley car terminal. Friday afternoon at 5.15. when an auton1o bile struck two women.
 The car was one of the Storrs buses. driven by James Kerwin. He had bought some gasoline at the pump Of c. w. Moves and was turning around when the stalled his car He evidently forgot to bring his gear lever back into neutral, for when he cranked the engine the car started forward, run ming up on the curb and coming to a stop up against the building occupied by the D. A. Lyman company.
 MT. Kerwin got out from in front of the car and pushed several women out of the way of the approaching auto mobile. There was quite a crowd of women waiting for the South Coventry trolley and most of them had time to get out of the way Mrs. s. A. Hall of South Coventry did not see the. ap- preaching car until it was close to her. It pushed her several times but did not run over her. Mrs. Anthony Wye and son Raymond of South Coventry were also struck. They saw. the car approaching but it overlook them. Mrs. Nye was struck by the car and her leg was slightly bruised. Raymond Wye was pushed aside by the car and one of the stilts that he was carrying was broken by the automobile. The in- Jured women screamed, for they thought that inc other members Of their party had been killed.
 The injured women were taken into the store of A. J. Martineau and pr. Simonds when called found Mrs. Hall may have a broken kneecap
 MT. Kerwin, the chauffeur claims that the gears were not in mesh when he first cranked the car, but several witnesses say that each time he cranked the car it moved forward a little.
 The car struck the building on the en> and the boy had a close call, for a package that Mrs. Nye was carrying was puncturec by a part Of the car.
 Chief ki1lourey, who quickly ar rived. saw that the trouble was purely accidental. The chauffeur agreed to pay for all medical attention
 Later in the evening Mrs. Hall was taken to. her home in South Coventry in an automobile.
