WHY NOT A DRY NATION7

at floats over dry capital, why
not over a dry nation?" That is the
text for a cartoon in The American
Issue, the official organ of the Anti
Saloon League of America, which
will hold its national convention in
Washington, December 1913.
The League and its allies and adher-
ents will make a strong appeal to the
House of Representatives to adopt
the nationwide Prohibition resolu-
ton, already adopted by the Senate,
on the ground of patriotism. 1t will
insist that there is Inconsistency in
that attitude of official or citizen
which believes in drying up the cap
ital, the army and navy, and permit
ting the liquor traffic to run rampant
throughout states and localities, to
hinder the progress of the two men
who are standing behind every sailor
and soldier

A DRY DEMOCRACY
Cleveland Member of Executive CON-
mittee of Democratic Party of
Ohio in Revolt Against Home
Rule Organization

The recent vote on the wet and
dry question in Ohio has filled the
standpatters of both the great polit-
ical parties with CONSERVATION. The
handwriting on the wall is so unmis-
taxable that none but the incurably
besotted are in any doubt as to the
purpose of the voters.
Martin J. Thumm, of Cleveland,
member of the Democratic executive
committee, is leading a revolt against
the Cuyahoga County Home Rule AS
ISOLATION. He favors sending a dele
CATION to the next Democratic state
convention to write a Prohibition
plank into the next state platform of
his party. Mr.. Thumm declares that
he has found hundreds of precinct
workers who favor an open alliance
with the Prohibition forces.
The attitude of the saloonkeepers,
who are alleged to have opposed w.
A. Stinchcomb, the Democratic can
didate for Mayor, serves to accentuate
the movement to get rid of an ele-
ment which has no party loyalty and
serves no interest that will not bow
to saloon domination.
The state executive committee is
seeking some way to avoid an open
rupture with the gang.

DIR. JOHN w. WADMAN

DR.. John w. Wadman, of Homo
lulu, Superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Hawaii, is one of the
most interesting men on the program
of the Anti-Saloon League convention
to be held in Washington, December
1918. DR.. Wadman will speak at the
session of Thursday morning, Deem
Der Is, the only morning session of
the entire convention.
DR.. Wadman is living in Washing
ton for the time being, for the sole
purpose of trying to bring about Pro-
kibtion for the islands. He is greatly
in love with Hawaii, and sees for it
tremendous future. Prohibition is the
one thing, in his opinion, that the
islands need, and so he is in Wash
ington, busy with Congress and Con-
gressional committees, trying to bring
about the enactment of the necessary
legislation. He is confident of success
at the December session.

DETROIT OFFICERS BUSY
Seize More Than 5000 Gallons oi
Booze In Last Few Days; Own
ers tried to Evade Tax

In Detroit the officers of the inter
nal revenue department have seized
and conhscated more than 5000 gal
Ions of whisky and brandy In the last
few days. Some of these seizures
have been oecasioned by the failure
of the owners to pay the revenue tax
In other instances the attempt to
hide the liquors has drawn the light
ming OF the revenue department, whose
vigilance has been increased by the
discovery Of persistent attempts to
evade the payment Of the new war
income tax in this way. A favorite
device seems to be to store the liquid
goods in out-of-the-way places and to
use misleading labels. One dealer had
a large quantity of whisky packed In
sugar barrels In an attic.

TWO BIG WEEKS

From December ! to ID
Washington will be filled with
two sets OF propagandists,
who, though not working for
the same line, nevertheless have
some things in common. Dur
ing the first week of the month
and going over into the second, j..
there will be the national con-
vention of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, which
is committed not only TO Pro-
hibition, but to woman's suf-
frage. During portion of that
time the conference of Anti
Saloon League workers and
superintcndents will be held.
Drys are not wholly for suf-
frage, but very many of them
are, and, of course, stand for
most of the things advocated by
the VIC. T. u.
On Sunday, December 9, the
pulpits OF many Washington
churches will be filled by Anti
Saloon League men.
Beginning December 10 and
continuing throughout Decem-
Der Is, the convention of the
Anti-Saioon League Of America
will be held.
From December II to Is, in
elusive, there will be the con-
vention of the Suffrage Associa-
ton. Now, not all suffragettcs
favor Prohibition, but those
who do not are in very small
minority, and not all the dele
gates who attend the Anti-Sa-
loon League convention are
willing to go the whole length
of the Suffrage Association,
though most of them approve
some form of suffrage or other.

tional party being organized here an
nounced a political programme Of pro
nounced nationalist issues, among
which are the safeguarding of Hun
garian territorial integrity in the peace

A separation from Austria in customs

on the support Of the constitutional

bors Of the Apponyi faction.

Telegram That Caused De-
posing of Brusilof Is
Made Public
Says Terror Must End
Suspension of Offensive on All
Fronts Demanded to Per-
nit Reorganization
Bv James O'Donnell Bennett

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 1.-THE full
text Of the famous telegram which
restored capital punishment in Russia
and led to the dismissal Of General
Brusiloff and the appointment OF Cen
eral Korniloff as commander in chiet
of the Russian armies, has reached
here.
General Korniloff sent the telegram
TO Premier Kerensky. 1t was eoun-
tersigned by the then acting Minister
Of War, Boris Savinkof. In reading
the telegram, Il must be remembered
that it was written from the battle
front by a practical soldier who con-
sented TO deceive neither himsef nor
Kerensky regarding the seriousness Oh
the crisis. oL.
Ieaderless soldiers are in full flight
from the fields which are not even reg
ular battle fields" the message read
"There exists endless terror and shame
such as never have been known since
the creation of the Russian armies.
either these assertions en- masse
must cease and the revolutionary gov
eminent abolish this shameful infamy,
or. if that is impossible, the ineIor-
able course of history will bring to
the head of the nation other men VINO
will be able to exterminate the shame
but at the same time will destroy the
achievements of the revolution.
This would mean the country's rum

our country perishes, and ] therefore
demand the Immediate suspension or
the offensives on all fronts for the
preservation of the army, thus SAVING
it TO be reorganized on the basis OF the
strictest discipline and thus ending the
sacrifice Of the lives of those heroes
who deserve to see better days.
"The restoration of capital punish
ment is an absolute necessity. The
governments mild measures have un-
dermined the army's discipline, causing
inexpressible cruelties by the soldiers
who became absolutely uncontrollable
in their brigandizing, terrorizing and
numbering. The restoration OF capt.
tai punishment will save many inno-
cent lives.

different light,
Manitowoc, Wis, turned out with
a will to share the patriotic pro
gramme. Some Of the glory Of the

eighty saloons of this town, which
voted 80 per cent against war, &C
cording to La Follette's famous poll.
It's inhabitants are mostly German
American, and the Wisconsin towns
have not been supporting the Chau-
tauouas very we'll this year. But
Manitowoc must be in a penitent
mood, for it accepted the patriotic
programme with good grace.
Perhaps it was because they were
very careful to applaud the appeals
to their pride in American institu-
tons that they Handicapped vigor-
ously at intervals, and perhaps it
was because the speakers, notably
Ira Landrith, were careful to aim
10 shafts at the German people, that
the meeting had the appearance Of a
