MuCnOS ngufan como cOSd Cler
ia y absolute que dentro de pocos
afios Ia Prohibition Sc establecera
en- toda Ia extension y anchura de
los Estados Unidos, y que ell traf-
CO legalizado en- licores va no Sc
tolerara nj permitira en- ninguna
parte de ellos. Aceptando tai su-
posici6n como algun tanto proba-
BILE y verosinil a causa de los
grandes progresses que la prohibi
ci6n ha hecho on muchos de los
Estados, es precise tomar en- cuen
ia que en- casi todos' los Fstados
mas grandes y populosos la fuer-
"a de la opinion esta del lado del
trafico y que sera muy dificil de-
salojarla de su predoninio. A Pc
sar de ESQ, no hay duda de que
durante los veinte amos pasados
los partidarios de Ia templanza
han adquirido grandes ventajas
en- territorio donde no esperaban
avanzar mucho, y que ahora cuen
tan por suyas algunas localidades
donde anteriormente era mas fuer
te la oposici6n. Pero miranda la
agresividad y energia con que los
ap6stoles de la prohiblci6n llevan
adelante su propaganda, no puede
uno menos de Greer que es possible
que al fin lleguen al termino de
su jornada. Tambien Sc nota que
cada dia es mas debil e inefrctiva
la defensa que hacen los que abo-
gan en- favor de Ia venta de licores,
y este hecho ha dado pabulo a la
asercion de que los opositores la
prohibici6n no tienen ningun ar
gumento fuerte que presentar en-
defensa de su causa.
Dando, pues, por admitido que
la prohibition Sc establecera tarde
o temprano en- los dominios del
Tic Samuel, viere muy pelo la
pregunta de 81 tai prohibition sera
efectiva y 81 traera consigo la to-
tai abolici6n del trafico licorisa.
A este contestamos que tai vez Sc
ra efectiva en- muchos de los rs
tados donde la opinion de la ma
yoria del pueblo esta muy pronun-
ciada en- contra de la manufactu-
ra y venta de icores, y que con
una enmienda prohibitoria incor.
porada en- Ia Constitution de los
Estados Unidos el trafco en- licores
srra casi totalmente destruido.
Esto es decir, que va no sera un
comercio legalizado nj estara bajo
la sanction y protection de las le-
yes del pals como ha estado hasta
aqui. Pero ESQ no quiere decir
que no habra licor para muchos
de aquellos que 10 apetecen pero 81
10 hubiere, estara fuera de la ley
y los que 10 vendieren seran delin-
cuentes ante la ley y recibiran el
castigo que sea proveido para el
case. Tn buen efecto de la pro-
hibici6n sera cerrar todos los esta-
blecimientos de licor y permitir
que existan y florezcan donde las
leyes tengan alcance. De aqui
Sc sigue que donde la ley tenga
bien cimentada su supremacia y
no haya favorltismo nj complici-

y radical y estara de hecho aboli.
do el trafco.
Esto seobserva en- algunos de los
estados prohibicionistas donde la
prohibition no es una farsa sino
un hecho real y veriadero. ALI
seha desengaiiado todo el pueblo
por medic de la experienced y Ia
practica que las cantlnas no hacen
faIta, sino que son un perjuicio y
detrimento para todos, y especial
mente para los jovenes que Sc ha-
Ian en- la adolecencia; que donde
no hay licores que desmoralicen al
pueblo es mayor la suma de .bien-
estar y prosperidad que subsisten.
Estos hechos estan bien estableci
dos en- todas parties donde la pro-
hibici6n es una realidad y Sc OBJ
serva con Ia rigidez y eficacia que
el case requiere. Pero, desgra-
ciadamante, hay localidades donde
Sc convierte en- una banalidad y
I'm enga1o, y sirve solamente de
capa para mayores abuses. Y tam
bien sucede que en- casos donde la
oposicl6n a la prohibition es muy
fuerte, viene presto la reacci6n
que destruye y desbarata todo el
trabajo que ha hecho en- pro de la
sobriedad Y de la moralidad. Hay
clases de la sociedad que contem-
plan como un ultraje cualquier
atentado que Sc hace para privar-
las de las brbidas a que han esta-
do acustumbrados, y que llevan
adelante SUI rebeldia hasta ell gra-
do de desafiar abiertamente los
decretos de la ley. Estas clases
slempre encuentran manera de ha-
Ger su voluntad y capricho y en-
muchos casos logran evadir los de-
cretos de la legislation promu ga
da y establecida.
Aca en- Nuevo Mexico. donde Sc
presume que hay mayor facilidad
que en- otras parties para quebran-
tar los estatutus que no son acep-
tables a muchos, debemos antici-
par que 81 la prohibicl6n Sc esta-
blece, seran muchos los casos -e
evasion y viClaci6n de la ley. Es-
t. 10 sabemos por experienced prac-
tica adquirida en- casos de distin-
ia indole, v ten mos sobrada ra-
Z6n para temer que en- ell case de
la venta de licores sucedera 10
mismO con mayor agravamiento
de causas y efectos. Mas este no
destruira entrramente los buenoS
efe tos que provendrar de la clau-
sura de las cantinas, que en- todo
case vienen a ser la cdusa primor-
dial de los macs que ocasiona el
trafco. Cierto es que en- muchos
lugarss el icor circulara libremen-

to- clandestinoS donde Sc expen-
drra en- Secleto. Pero este no al
canzara a la gran mayorla de los
que pudleran Ser suplidos bajo el

que en- muchos .asos LA OCCASION

| Soldados, que hoy os marcha
Tras muy breve despedida,
Y a la familia dejais
Pesarosa y afligida,
Alzad la frente abatido
Y con frme continente
lHaced al destino fIente,
Y por la patria inspirados
Sed constanteSy esforzados
Cual guerreros de occidente.
II Vais de buena voluntad
Y con zeIo NADIA escaso,
Y sin temer un fracaso
De TRACTION 8 de maldad;
Fe teneis en- la Deidad
Que os cobija con su manto
Eficaz y sacrosanto,
Que a los buen0s protection
Daen toda la OCCASION
De peligro y de quebranto.
Naci6n grande y poderosa
Es esta que defendeis
Y las vidas exponeis
Para hacerla mas grandiosa;
We'd esa bandera hermosa
| Que es divisa y estandarte
Que forma esencial parte
De nuestra gloria y honor
Y demostrad ell valor.
De discipulos de Marte.
No temais, puess 81 la suerte
Os lleva a lejanas tierras
A tomar parte en- las guerras
Que rugen con furor fuerte,
Vuestro coraz0n Advierte
Contingencia semejante
Y dareis paso adelante
Sin tenor a la metralla
Nj a la bomba cuando estalla
Con estruendo horripilante.
Sois hombres y sois patriotas
Listos a sacrifcar
Vuestras vidaS por lograr
De buenos las bellas notas;
Pues de vuestra sangre gotas
Rendireis sin remission
81 llegare la OCCASION
De ensefiar 10 que valeis
Y al enemigo afronteis
, Con gallarda decision
Nosotros aqui quedamos
Rogando a Dios que os proteja
= Cuando con su mano alicia
Mortiferos proyectlles,
Que a vuestros pechos viriles
Dirija con safla fera
Esa banda traicionera
Que no conOce piedad
Y que emplea la maldad
Con mana falsa y rastrera.
Y hora en- esta despedida
No os diremos adios,
Pues con ell tempo veloz
Veremos vuestra venida,
Cuando una alegre acogida
Sera sefial del regreso
Que sin lesion u tropiezo
Os traiga a vuestros hogares
A bendecir los altares
Con gratitud sin exceso.

ADVANCE WAR I,
 RISK RATES HIEN

Washington, Aug, 1O.-Secretay AtcAdoo has announced that the rite of the War Risk Insurance Buretu of the Treasury Department on steamers and cargoes to Europe and ports on the Mediterranean coast Of Africa and vice versa is advanced from 5 per cent to 6la per cent as to all steamers sailing on or after August Is, 1917.
 The experience of the bureau since the United States entered the war has shown that the 5 per cent rate is not adequate for the risks undertake through the so-called war zone, as the bureau has sustained e number of beavy losses.
 A change has been made in the applications for vessel insurance and hereafter they will contain a warranty on the part of the ship owners ab to the dead-weight ca pacity ot the Tessel.
 Secretary McAdoO also announced that alchange has been made in the policies for insuring matters, of ficars, and seamen of American mer- chantmea, providing for payments in monthly tnstallments or in a lump sum at the option of the Bu- reau of War Risk Insurance, but without interest. Previously the policies provided for payments in lump sum only in respect to most claims. The general plan will be to make the payments in install ments whenever feasible
