Strong Indications That Country MAY
BE Made Dry.

A dry United States did not seem
many years distance when the coun
try entered the greatest of all wars,
and now IT seems 10 be only mat
ter of Il few short months, perhaps
only a matter Of couple weeks. II
may come AT any time, as war
measure. and once it comes. il
IS believed that national prohibition
viii be a thing that will be lasting.
rather than "a measure that will en-
dure for the duration of the war
war.
The United States and the rest Of
the world Is suffering from great
food shortage. and national prohibi-
ton as a war measure which re-
lease millions of bushels Of grain for
food, for the upbuilding of thousands
OF human bodies. whore now 1t * he
ing made into a wrecker Of human
minds and bodies Strong agitation
IS going on over the proposition be
cause Of the amount Of food that such
q measure would release to the world
The same spirit which aetuated
England, France and Russia TO call
for prohibition or partial prohibition
ioi the durauce Of the war. that the
men would bv iu better condition 10
serve their country. is also being used
as telling argument for national
prohibition 10 the United States for
the duration OF the great struggle
which may come.
Many 'of the governors Of twenty
one wet states have declared that il
would be fine thing 60 have such
war measure now. especially when
the world is facing one Of the great
est food shortages IN history Only
very few OF them. governors Of
strong liquor states. refused to com
nit themselves upon the subject.
Such a war measure may come
from either one Of two sources
President Wilson or congress. At
present indications are that President
Woodrow Wilson is seriously con
tcmplating the issueance OF such a
VAT measure, and it would surprise
no one 90 hear thar such - measure
has been given out by him.

-FOUR IMPORTANT
DRY LAWS PASSED
Senator Damon Of This District
Author Of Two Of the Dry
Measures.

Two OF the four important dry
laws. which are designed to make the
state Of Michigan "bone dry" were
the creations Of Senator Damon Of
this district.
It is thought that these four bills
viii thoroughly cover the ground for
which they are de signated and that
tlcy will make Michigan the one
"bone dry state. Following are
brief outlines Of the bills:
The Wiley law puts into operation
the provisions of the constitutional
amendment prohibiting the liquor
traffic adopted November :. 1915:
provides fol the sale OF intoxicating
liquors 'or medicinal. mechanical.
chemical. scientific and sacramcrtal
purposes provides for sale fol these
purposes by druggists who take out
permits so % DO. permits manufac-
ture Of cider for vinegar; DEFINES ln-
toxicatinc liquors rs an liquors cap
able of being used as beverage.
which contain alcohol provides for
search and seizure Of suspected
places. the same as The local option
law; prohibits sale or keeping for
sale by clubs; prohibits solicitation
OF orders Tor liquors hy any person;
prohibits advertising Of Intoxicating
liquors. makes it the duty of all
police and peace officers to enforce
the law, and makes their failure 10
discharge 'hi, duty cause for for
feiture OF their office and grounds for
removal.
The Damon law prohibits the
bringing on carrying into the state.
or the receipt or possession Of any
intoxicating quors within the state.
This law will make the state bone
dry"
The Lewis law makes il the duty
Of the Food and Drug Commissioner
20 supervise and secure The enforce.
ment of the laws relating to the pro-
hibition or the liquor traffic; gives
him authority 10 appoint such in
spectors, investigators and assistants
as may be deemed necessary. The
duty imposed by this law does not
relieve local officers from their duty
of enforcement. but is intended 20 be
supplemental thereto The Food and
Drug Commissioner is not a new Off
Ger, bat the Dairy and Food Com
missioner under a new name.
The Damon law amends Act 272.
Pebble Acts OF 1918; declares that
places whore Intoxicating liquors are
sold are nuisances. and provides the
machinery for closing such places. by
injunction proceedings. Under the
provisions or this act, when the ex-
istence OF a nuisance is established
by court proceedings. the furniture or
contents of the building used in con-
dGctrng the nuisance are ordered re-
moved and sold. and the place is or
dered closed for one year The OWL
er may release the premises from
such closing order by giving q bond
oi the Gail value of he property I'm
der this law q person violating any
order Of the court may be punished
for contempt Of court This law will
provide effective means to close
places where quor is sold Illegally.
