GREAT
To BE Democrat These Days, and
Course of Events Show How
II Is Being CIinched

Last Tuesday the dry Republicans of
the State held convention at Columbus
to consider and determine whether they
should organize as dry Republicans. On
the same day the executive committee of
the Democratic Dry Federation held a
meeting to put the finishing touches to
their organization.
We are not informed as to whether the
Democratic Committee planned to have
their meeting on the same day that the
dry Republicans meet, or whether the
two meetings occurring on the same day
is circumstance which is usually cata-
logued as strange coincidence. " But,
be that as it may, the fact that the exec
utive committee of the Democratic Dry
Federation met to complete their organ
izatIon on the same day that the dry Re-
publicans met to start their organization
is contrast-a contrast that marks we'll
the characteristic progressiveness of the
Democrats.
Probably the Democratic committee
felicitated the dry Republicans upon
their decision to organize. 1t is well
that they should; and who can gainsay
their right to do so? In fact, they may
do so with all the satisfaction of precep-
tors-for have they not shown the dry
Republicans the way?
1t was on April II that the dry Demo
Gratis held their convention and decided |
to organize. Two months and eight
days after the dry Democrats organize !
the dry Republicans follow suit.
Not only have the Democrats taken the
lead in the fight for Prohibition in Ohio,
but they have acquitted as well, if not
better, in other states and in the nation.
OF the twenty-five dry states, eighteen
of them are in the Democratic column.
After repeated efforts, extending over a
period of fifty years or more under Re-
publican administrations, to vote the
District of Columbia dry, the temperance
forces had to wait for a Democraticcon-
gress to pass the law and Democratic
President to sign it. The two attempts
to pass the Webb Kenyon bill under Re-
publican administrations failed; the one
attempt under a Democratic administra-
ton succeeded-the ebb-Kenyon bill,
the shipping of Intoxicating
liquor into dry territory, is now the law.
rhe postal regulations under Republican 1
never prohibited the
sending of papers and periodicals carry }
ng liquor advertisements into dry terri
ory, but these advertisements are now
,arred from the mails-thanks to the
Democratic administration at Washing
on. 1t does look as though the Demo-
ratio party has pre-empted the temper b
nee field of all honors. 1t is time that v
,ur Republican brethren got started. n
But to return to the two state organiz-
tions: 1t will be recalled that it was
William J. Bryan who first suggested
hat the drys of both parties organize.
t was expected that the Democrats
would act upon it, but now the members
f the party that has sought for years to
estroy him do likewise. What tribute
o his influence! What a demonstration
f his leadership! Certainly it is great

"FlOwers of Doom"
A record was made the other day
at Universal City, when a complete set,
showing a living-room, was erected for
Ruth Stonehouse in two minutes and
twenty seconds.
w. w. Beaudlne, director Of Uni

hobbies are his pipe and babies-in
this order.
Horseback riding, skating and auto
MODELLING are the best-liked sports of
the Bluebird star, Violet Mersereau.
Mignon Anderson had to spend days

Harry Carey has again taken the
directors authority and is at work on

The latest addition to the big plant
of the Universal Film company at Uni

building. More than $4,000 worth of
costumes are stored here, of all his
tOrical periods. In addition, there are
large rooms devoted to the making
of new dresses and the repair of old
ones. This is the largest wardrobe
building in the world.

UNFO9TUNATES
COST MILLIONS
OhiO'S Public Institutions Are
Expensive,
MUCH IS DUE TO DRINK

Average Population Last Year In FIJI
teen Asylums, Prisons and Reform
atories In Excess of 10000 and 1t Il
a Conservative Estimate That Mor'
Than Half of the Trouble Is Due Il
Alcohol.
Columbus, O.-Last year it cos
the state more than $4,000,000 t
maintain the institutions in which it,
unfortunates are housed. This il
merely for maintenance and does moi
include the cost of grounds, build
ings, machinery, etc. There are
twenty of these State institutions. II
is conservative to say that 60 pei
cent of the trouble represented in
fifteen of the twenty of these insti-
tutions is due to drink.
Leave out of consideration the
School for Blind, the Deaf and Dumb
Institution, Soldiers and Sailors
Home, tuberculosis Sanitorium, and
the Madison Home for Ohio Soldiers
and Sailors and their wives.
But look at the others. Ohio has
eight insane asylums and drink has
done its share in filling them. These
eight asylums have cost Ohio many
millions of dollars. In 1916 the aver
age population of these eight insane
hospitals was 12,047.
Then there are the Institution for
the Feeble Minded at Columbus, and
the Hospital for Epileptics at CALI
polls. The former had an average at
tendance last year of 1850 and the
latter 1859. The penitentiary at Co
lumbus had an average attendance of
1884, and the Mansfield Reformatory
1929, the Boys Industrial School at
Lancaster 1,186 and the Girls Indus
trial School at Delaware 4e9. The re-
formatory for women, near Marys-
vile, is new and had 68 inmates.
These Is Ohio asylums, prisons and
reformatories had an average popu-
lation last year Of more than 10000.
Think of the wrecked homes, ruined
lives, misery and utter helplessness
represented by these institutions, and
then remember that large per cent
of these unfortunates owe their con-
dition to drink. Furthermore, do not
forget that the people of Ohio are in
partnership with the traffic which is
causing all this misery and expense.
Also keep in mind the jails, police
stations, poor houses, and charitable
institutions, aside from these already
mentioned, which are built and main
tanned largely for the care of the sa-
loon product.
Why not remove the cause rather
than provide for the effect?

Under recent act of Congress, home
guard organizations, lodge and society
bands and similar military bodies may
secure discarded rifles from the govern
ment. As the home guard type of de-
fense will be the only one left to many
communities after the National Guard
has departed for France, the War De-
partment is encouraging these inde-
pendent organizations as security against
possible dangers at home. The govern
ment has a large number of the old
Krags, used until few years ago, which
have been superseded by more modern
rifles, and the discarded guns, servicea-
bic for ordinary use, can be obtained by
any home guard organization. Applica
ton should be made to Gov. Cox.

qualities and extreme lightness. not only the United States but every one of the belligerent nations would gladly avail themselves of any other form of material which would assist in keeping their flyers more comfort able while discharging their ardous and dangerous duties.
 As suggested by the correspondent referred to by Mir. Darling, the type of light reindeer clothing worn by the Eskimo of this section appears to pos- sess the very qualities for which avia . ton officials are seeking. Nothing lighter and warmer than the fawn skin parkies and trousers of the local aborigines could possibly be devised. And not only are they light and warm but they also possess excellent dura- bility Those fully acquainted with the type of garment referred to are unani- mously of the opinion that they are in every way the most desirable form that could he employed in the air ser vice, as they seem to combine nearly every quality that Is absent in the present aviation garments with prac- tically all of their best features.
 Inasmuch as the government is pre- pairing to place many thousand avia = tors in the field within the next year or so, 1t would appear an excellent stroke of business to endeavor to in terest aviation officials in the possi bilities of this type of garment. In addition there is a great field in Eur ope for the introduction of the Eskimo reindeer garments.
 In the event of their adoption by the American aviation forces, there is not doubt in the world that every one of the entente belligerents will also at tempt to secure them as speedily as possible.
 should this occur, Nome will be in a position to build up large and prob able lucrative trade in furnishing either the skins or the prepared gar ments finished by native wOrkmen in their own durable fashion.
 It is not beyond prospect that the adoption of the reindeer garment by the United States might lead to the employment of hundreds of natives as well as @ considerable number of whites. Whether We furnish skins or clothes. Nome is bound to profit in the event that reindeer aviation clothing is adopted hy any of the allies.
