drive OF DRYS
SINCE OHIO VOTED
Big Gains Made In Past Two
Years.
ARE ON The RUN

In Numerous States as Well as In
Congress and the Supreme court
the Liquor Traffic Has Been Hard
Hit and the Trend Towards Prohlbi'
tIon Is So Great That Drys Of ohio
Are Encouraged While the Vets
Are Discouraged.
Columbus-The wet majority in
Ohio in 1915 was 65,408.
What has happened since that vote
to cause the drys to believe they can
win this year?
Since Ohio voted in 1915, state
vide Prohibition has become effective
IN the states. Of Virginia, Colorado,
Oregon, Washington, Arkansas, Iowa,
Idaho, South Dakota and Utah.
While these nine states have be-
come dry since Ohio last voted on
Prohibition, not a dry state has be-
come wet.
Michigan and Indiana have decided
for Prohibition, the one by constitu-
ticnal amendment and the other by
statutory law, ard both these neigh
boring states will become dry next
April. Alaska has voted dry and the
vote of the people has been ratified
by Congress.
Prohibition legislation for Porto
Rico has been enacted by Congress
and the people have endorsed it by
Iopular vote.
Hundreds Of wet counties, cities
and towns have voted dry.
Congress has made dry the District
of Columbia, including the capital city
Of Washington.
Congress has prohibited the use of
the mails for carrying liquor adver-
tisments Of any character into the
states having an anti-liquor soliciting
law.
Congress has prohibited the ship
ment Of liquor into Prohibition states.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States has held valid the Webb-Ken-
yon anti-shipping law.
Congress has passed law prohib-
iting the sale Of liquor to soldiers in
uniform, and also providing for dry
zone about the cantonments and train
ing camps.
Congress has inserted a provision
in the food control law prohibiting
the manufacture Of whisky for bever-
age purposes and given the President
the power to restrict or prohibit the
,,aory,fo ,E,,ro ~ baar ~ xuina - ponac
sary, to conserve foodstuffs, and also
empowering him to commander all
whisky in stock and bond for war
purposes if he deems such a step
necessary.
The Senate has voted three to one
to submit national Prohibition to the
states.
These are few Of the important
happenings in this country in the
drive against the liquor traffic since
Ohio voted two years ago.
This is some record for two years.
In other countries the battle with
liquor has been vigorously prosecuted
and the great war has stirred the
world to realization of the wasteful-
ness and destruction Of the traffic.
This trend towards Prohibition
everywhere has been most marked
since the Ohio election in 1915. These
tremendous dry victories will arouse
the fighting spirit Of the Prohibition
forces here in Ohio and there is moth
ing in them to encourage the wet
camp.

ARRESTS IN YOUNGSTOWN
They Are on the Increase and Most
of Them Due to Drink.

They Are on the Increase and Most
Of Them Due to Drink.
Youngstown-At the present rate Of
arrests in this city, the total for 1917
will reach 10000, breaking all rec
ords. OF these, 10000 will be due di-
rectly or indirectly to drink, accord
ing to the Telegram Of that city, which
goes on to say:
"Manifestly, the saloon is growing
worse, in Youngstown and every
where else. To talk of its reforma-
tion is childish and absurd. 1t is es-
sentially evil and its results on So
ciety are demoralizing and crime
inspiring. 1t is high time the whole
business should be prohibited and the
public at large are more thoroughly
convinced Of that necessity than ever
before. This is the reason why
Youngstown, Mahoning county, and
the state of Ohio will vote dry next
vember."

LEAGUE WANTS TO KNOW
What ohio Town Has Reduced Tax
Rate Because Of SaIoons7

Columbus, Ohio.--The liquor men
of Ohio argue that saloon revenue
holds down the tax of town and
that to close saloons means to in
crease the tax rate. If this argu-
ment is valid, then it follows that the
tax rate should be- forced down when
saloons come back to a former dry
community and the liquor revenue
again flows into the treasury. The
Ohio Anti-Saloon League calls atten-
ton to the fact that a number Of
towns Of the state which were dry
under county option, now have
saloons as the result Of the adoption
Of the Home Rule amendment. 1t
wants to know what one Of these
towns has had its tax rate reduced
because saloons are back.
Probably some saloon advocate can
answer this question.

WHISKY MAKING CEASES
Forty Million Bushels Of Grain Added
to Food Supply.


Washington, Sept. 10. - Whisky
manufacture in the United States
ceased Saturday midnight under pro-
visions of the food control law, and
the millions of bushels of grain nere-
tofore used in making that form of
drink will be diverted to food. I'm
portation of whisky also stopped. Just
how much grain will be added to ths
food supplies as result is not deter.
minable, but experts say about 100.
100000 bushels are used by the dis
tilleries each year, of which about
100000 bushels are used in whisky
manufacture.
Stocks OF whisky in the country un-
doubtedly are larger than they ever
have been because of active prepara
tion by distillers and dealers in antict
patton Of the law.

SEEK COMPENSATION
IN EDDYSTOnE Gases
Widows, Children, and in
Some Instances, Injured
Petition Board
SOME REQUEST
COMPUTATION

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. l.-Sev-
sral of the widows and children, and some
If the victims themselves, Of the Eddy
stone Ammunition Company explosion
IN April 10, which resulted in the death
of 200 employees, presented their claims
for compensation yesterday before the
Workmen's Compensation Board. The
,ases heard yesterday, however, were
,nly those wherein tine claimants desir-
ID to have their awards commuted, or,
In other words, to receive In lump sum
the total amounts Of the damages which
they would otherwise receive in regular
monthly or weekly installments. A
number Of these petitions were granted,
but the board refused 20 do so in the
case Of two Russians who desired the
money for the purpose Of returning to
Russia.
One Of these claimants was Anna Nau-
mcnko, No. 236 North Second street,
whose husband was killed and Nho had
received an award of 81 OPS. She asked
that half of this amount be given TO her
children and half 70 herself for the pur-
pose Of getting back TO her native land.
As the board did not think it advisable to
give her such a large sum Of money, in
consideration Of the danger Of its loss on
the seas, IL refused the request.
Alexander Davidenko, of Chester, who
lost his leg, also wanted his entire award
Of Sl,l00 paid in a lump sum to enable
him to go to Russia. He was asked II
be wanted 10 fight, he replied that, with
out his leg he could neither fight nor run
from the enemy. The board was willing
10 grant his request if he were willing
that the money be cabled 20 him after he
got there. He refused to accede to this
arrangement.
Among others Of the fifty cases passed
on was that of Mrs. Jacobea Schmalz, of
Bethlehem, whose son was killed in the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation plant. Mrs.
Schmalz despite her seventy seven years
was desirous of building a boarding
house, and the Bethlehem Company was
In favor Of the boards receiving author
lty to pay her $1,000,
