OUTLOOK IS GOOD
FOR OHIO DRYS
Wet Have the Worst Of ths
Situation
beer MAKES WEAK FIGHT

Liberals Disappointed With Process
Of Campaign While Observers Of the
Contest Believe Drys Will Win the
State Because of War Conditions.
Newspapers Give Vets Black Eye.
Columbus (SpeciaD-Dry managers
here believe Ohio will vote out the
saloons Tuesday, November 9th. Vets
admit the tide is against them, while
those who are watching the battle 60
ing on between the contending forces,
agree that the drys have the best of
the situation.
Here is the outlook as diagnosed by
the men who are on the bleachers
watching the battle.
If the drys get out their vote, they
will win.
Thousands of former vets will vote
dry this year.
The drys have put up a more effec-
tive campaign than the vets.
The war is influencing many former
wet men to vote dry.
Now that soldiers are prohibited
from drinking, the same prohibition
should apply to civilians.
If drink effects the efficiency of the
soldier, it should not be permitted to
effect the efficiency of the men back
Of the soldier.
Beer wastes more food stuff thar
vphiclyy Naxry &hof ha r,oo1r.-r ~
whisky is stopped, there is no reason
why beer should be made.
The license law has proved a fail.
ure and now it is time to apply the
remedy of Prohibition.
Many of the brewers are pro-Ger.
man, and Ohio has no patience with
traitors.
These are few of the reasons why
Ohio will vote dry as viewed by the
onlooker.
That the war has given impetus tc
the dry cause in Ohio is the genera
belief. The necessity of conserving
man power and food stuffs is univer.
sally recognized, and that the liquor
traffic wastes both is as universally
admitted. Then too, the disloyalty Of
the German-American Alliance and its
close relationship with the pro-Ger.
man brewers has convinced many vot.
ers that ballot cast for a dry stats
is vote against German ally.
That the liquor interests have put
up a weak campaign is acknowledged
even by the liberals. There has beer
no effort to defend the saloon, anc
even the license law has not been re
ferred to. The old revenue and per
sonal liberty arguments are regarded
as moth-eaten. No reasons worth
while have been advanced to cause
thinking men to determine to vote fol
the retention of the saloon.
The worst blow given the vets i.
by the newspapers. With few ex
,eptions, the press of the state is ad
Vocating the adoption of the dry
amendment. A swift punch was ad
ministered by the Cleveland Plai1
Dealer, once the champion of license
but now asserting that license is /:
failure, that paper commends Prohi
bition as the only remedy.
Then the Columbus Dispatch and tn,
Ohio State Journal brought conster
nation to the wet camp by declaring
for statewide Prohibition, while tn,
Toledo Blade, Youngstown Telegram
and scores of smaller papers are urg
ing the adoption of the dry amend
ment.
These are a few of the reasons VIII,
he drys expect victory Tuesday, No
vember 9th, why the vets are panicy
and why dry triumph is predictes
# farmers will go to the polls. A bi,
vote means Ohio dry, and the Obi,
Dry Federation is working day an,
hight to insure big vote.

Germany Answers the Vatican.

The Kaiser answers Pope Benedict
with pious generalities. There is moth
ing tangible in the feeble document
which Berlin sent to Rome. nothing
calculated to disturb the morale of
entente nations. not even Russia.
When the German Emperor prates
of his love for the blessings of
peace" he excites no feeling but nau-
sea and contempt among those with
whom he would enter into negotia-
tions. When he recites his ancient
parrot-talk about his own innocence
in the causing of the war, his hypoc-
risy may deceive the sycophants and
intellectual prostitutes of his own
court, but assuredly no one else. He
Simply cannot come within striking
distance of a peace basis by resorting
to such folly.
Stripping his reply to the Pope Of
its verbiage, We find nothing. os-
tensibly it purports to be an accept
dhCc VI pcoSC AZ
tually it has nothing behind 1t but
a willingness to meet the allies at
the council table and discuss a fu-
ture peace; exactly the same kind
of a proposal that was made last
December. The document shows clear
ly that Germany-at least the Ger
many represented by the autocracy-
is not anywhere near the chastened
frame of mind which must come
before peace can be restored to civili-
zation.
The Austrian reply is decidedly diff
ferent, but there is nothing in it suff1-
GENTLY definite to forecast any cleav-
age between the central powers. moth
ing which the American government
can take as providing any fulcrum
for the use of the diplomatic crow
bar which 1t has held in place along
the Austro-German boundary ever
since 1t declared war on Germany.

DISCOVERY.

There turks in every breast some Of
OF the fire
That sent Columbus daring unknown
seas,
There turks in every human heart
desire
To find new continents. To such as
these
The woodland Is a world, and con-
ttnents
They who 20 seeking shall as sure
ly find
As he who scorned an earth's' expe-
rience
And left established error far be-
hind
Let US go forth. as great Columbus
sailed.
And we shall hnd new archipela-
goes
sequestered paths that none but deer
has trailed.
Perhaps another continent-who
knows?
Some cloistered valley far from man
removed,
Some fragrant clearing hidden in
the frs,
Some lily-garden man has never loved,
Waiting our coming, the discoverers.
We may not fnd Americans, but we
Shall feel the thrill that thrilled a
greater breast
Perhaps a mountain that will glimpse
the sea,
Beneath a stump perhaps a part
ridge nest;
We shall make sail across the track
less green.
We shall uncover riches in the
flower.
We shall behold new beauties yet un-
seen
Yea. We shall be Columbus for an
hour.
