SUNDAY LID is
GOING TO STAY

The United States Supreme Court
has refused to review attacks on
Mayor Thompson's order closing the
saloons of Chicago on Sunday.
The proceedings, based largely on
contention that the Illinois tipping
law contained certain comma which
made legal the selling of liquor in
Chicago on Sunday, attracted wide at
tention.
Henry w. Boerner, Chicago sa-
loonkeeper, asked, and the Illinois
state courts refused, to grant an in
junction to restrain the Mayor and
the police from interfering with
Boerner's sale of booze on Sunday.
The Federal Supreme Court upheld
the stand of the state courts by refus-
ing to review the case.

FEW COMPLAINING
Prohibition in Dallas Has Had Effect
of Largely Increasing Business
There; Saloon Buildings Are
Easily Rented

The Dallas (Tex.) correspondent in
the Typographical Journal for Decem.
Der, 1917. incidentally mentions the eff
feet Prohibition is having on bushes:
in his city. The Typographical Jour
nal is the official organ for the Inter
national Typographical Union. We
quote from this Dallas correspond
emit:
Some of the boys are saying.
"How Dry / Am, but it is re-
markable what a small number are
complaining. Recently Dallas
county went bone dry. The near
est place is Fort Worth, and very
few will risk trip over there for
even large bottle. Former Dallas
men will likely want to know
what effect it had on business, etc.
One place 25x100 formerly rented
for saloon at $500 per month has
since been rented for $500 per
month. Another place, across the
street from the News ournal Of
fee, was leased at an advance of
SIS per month, while several other
places have already been rented at
the same rent the saloons were
paying. 1t did not even put the
bartenders union out of business,
as they recently decided to hold
their charter and dispense soft
drinks. 1t was to be expected
there wouldrbe much hard feeling
and bitterness, but for some rea-
son there was but little, and the
city is growing as never before.

LAW WELL ENFORCED
Bone Dry Statute in South Dakota
Has Cut Drunkenness and Arrests
to the Minimum

The bone-dry Prohibition law has
been in force just six months in
South Dakota. The Sioux Falls Argus
Leader is authority for the following
figures:
For the first half of 1917 there were
1,104 arrests for all causes.
For the next six months of the year
the number of such arrests, as Off
cially reported by the city auditor, was
31o.
During the last six months of 1916
there were 900 arrests for drunken
ness in Sioux Falls.
During the last half of 1917 the total
number of such arrests was only 40.
The Argus Leader aptly remarks:
The showing made is little short
of miraculous. 1t furnishes posi-
tive proof that the bone-dry law
is enforced.

A staff correspondent of the Chi
cago Journal announces that the anti
Kaiserites of Michigan City, Ind, will
not allow "big Fred" Miller, the Ger
man enemy alien, to take Office as
Mayor without battle. The Journal
correspondent says that he rapidly
became the dominant figure in Michi-
gan City politics, serving as Mayor
for eight years and as Councilman
nine years before a prying opponent
discovered there was no proof of his
being citizen.

BOOTLEGGER BOOZE
MAKES HUMAN FLY

When police raided blind tiger
establishment on the third floor OF a
building at Atlanta, Ga, the occupant
OF the room escaped by climbing out
of the outside window and down the
wall TO the street.
In going he left much liquor be-
hind. Half dozen suitcases contain
ing bottles and cans filled with liquor
were found, as. also, were several car
tons of new half-pint bottles. The
bottles were packed in cases that orig
inally were intended to contain cleo
trio light bulbs, and it is supposed
that they were shipped in that man
ner to divert suspicion as to their
contents.

Seattle Police Officials Held on
Charge of Stealing and Selling
Liquor Seized in Raids

of thousands of dollars worth
of contraband liquor, seized in
blind tiger and bootlegging raids. and
the wholesaling of huge whisky ship
ments about the city, Police Sergeant
George H. Comstock, of Seattle,
Wash, is under arrest, and several
members of his dry squad are in de-
tention. The arrests were made by
Police Chief Joseph F. Warren.
Allegations are made that these
men, whose duty it was to enforce the
dry law actually dealt in the liquor
they seized in raids, and sold other
liquor shipped in.
A syndicate in this line Is said by
Police Chief Warren to have existed
In Seattle, and to have accounted for
the large lot of illegal liquor selling
that has been going on.

Violations of Dry Law in District of
Columbia Will Not Be Looked on
With Mercy

Violators of the Sheppard anti-liq-
uor selling law in the District of CO.
lumbia are to meet stiff sentences, in

Judge Harrison fined Madison Jack
son three months in Jail and $500
fine in addition after Jackson had en-
tered plea of guilty to selling liq-
uor here. Assistant Corporation
Counsel Hart. in asking a severe SEN
tence, said:
Imposition of light sentences in
these cases will! have no deterrent
effect. 1t is only by rigidly en-
forcing the law that the good
sought will be accomplished. Per-

assaults and disorders are made

BAN ON GINGER
Druggists Warned Not to Sell Alco-
holic Medicine to Soldiers; :
Jamaica Product

Bad
The Retail Druggists Association
of San Francisco, Cal, pledged itself
to notify the druggists throughout
the district not to sell medicine con-
tanning large amounts of alcohol to
soldiers in uniforms. This promise
was made by United States, Commits
sioner Krull during the arraignment
of number of druggists charged with
selling liquor to soldiers in uniform.
Jamaica ginger, containing 90 per
cent alcohol, was the tipple of uni
formed men in lieu of liquor. The
Commissioner released the accused
men on their own recognizance, they
claiming that they did not know they
were transgressing the law. But in
showing leniency, the Commissioner
warned them that further violations
will be severely dealt with.

MUCH DOPE IN new YORK
In Spite of Over Supply of Saloons
There Drug Habit Is Serious;
Booze Is No Pre-
ventive

In spite of the fact that New York
City is over-supplied with licensed
saloons, the authorities are finding it
difficult to suppress the trade in habit
forming drugs.
Wet orators and wet journals insist
that one of the evil results of Prohibi-
ton is the increased use in poisonous
habit-forming drugs. The situation in
New York City proves that the pres
ence of licensed saloons is no guar
antec against the drug traffic. The
fact is the large wet centers of the
country are having more difficulty in
the suppression of the sale of this
class of drugs than any other commu-
nifty.
In New York City the Legislative
committee which is investigating the
drug habit, with a view to reporting
remedial measures for consideration
in the enactment of more effective
laws, listened to several self-confessed
stories of the habitual use of nars
cotics in last weeks session in the
City Hall.
A soldier, discharged from a unit at
Camp Mills because of physical dis
ability caused by the use of drugs,
declared the evil continued because
the present law was inadequate to
meet conditions. The law as it was
administered, he said, resulted usually
in punishment Of the victims without
attempting to cure the habit. In this
respect also it is very much like the
liquor traffic regulations.

BREWERS FOR |. AND R.
Anything to Defeat Ratification by
Ohio Legislature of Dry Amend
ment Is Their Plan of Work

Discussion of trade conditions to
meet new requirements of situations
developed by the war featured the
convention of the Ohio Brewers As
sociation at Cincinnati. The assist
ance of the beer makers in the thrift
stamp campaign was pledged.
The convention recorded itself as
favoring the initiative and referendum
as applied to the ratification of federal
amendments. The /. and r. has al
ways been fought to finish by the
Ohio brewers hitherto.

taking the same course with regard to
the names of their organizations.
At the convention in Houston,
Texas, of the international Union
of Brewery Workmen it was decided
to change the name of the organiza-
ton to the international Union of the
United Brewery and Soft Drink
Workers of America.
Not only will this give the sem
blance of little more responsibility,
but it is a confession on the part of
the brewery workers that the day of
beer has gone, and that the future
will produce nothing but soft drinks.

FACTS ABOUT ssIA

N o YOU KNOW that the Russian au-
- tocracy was founded upon the ruins of
several small republics which were welded
together to oppose the irivasions OF the Tar
tar hordes from the East?
Do you know that one of these repub-
lies, that of Novgorod, continued its demo-
cratic existence for more than 600 years
five times as long as the United States has
existed?
Do you know that the Russian people
are the most democratic folk on earth, so
much so that their very language contains
no word to indicate hereditary title?
You understand the troubles that Amer
lea had in turning loose and enfranchising
100000 slaves. Russia shortly afterwards,
liberated 6o,oooooo serfs. Do you realize
what this must mean?
Does not all this give you some hint of
the Underlying forces that has made the
Bolsheviki movement possible with all its
chaos and turmoil?
There is no book published that gives
such clear insight into the soul of this
thing as does

Question CT Geography
Not Of Law, Passed On

Attorney General brown had to re-

Saturday when State Veterinarian Ly-
tie passed the question up to him as
I'd the location of jackson county
The last legislature passed a bill for
bidding bulls to run at large IN eoun-
ties east of the Cascade mountains, un-
less said bulls were pure bloods with
recorded pedigrees and proper stand
ing in bovine society. The object of
course was to prevent the deteriora-
.aon Of stock through scrub ancestry
on the paternal side of the house, or
perhaps it should be stated in this
case, the paternal side of the barn.
There is small section of Jackson
county located on the east side of the
Cascades, and it was TO learn whether
this part of the county was to- come
under the operation of the law restrain
ing the freedom of unpedigreed bulls
the question was submlLU ae attor-
ney general had rest from the study
of dry legal tones, delying into sta
tutes passed by an irresponsible gath
ering of forty day law makers and
the weighing of precedents, and went
to studying the pleasing colors of the
office map. For once he found some
thir that was not ambiguous, some
thing that did not require legal con-
struction, something in fact that was
self evident and convincing. Taking
the evidence of the map as conclusive,
the attorney general decided Jackson
county was not in eastern Oregon and
that consequently the act of the legls-
Iature did not apply to scrub bulls in
hat county.

MONEY
KINGS MAKE APPEAL
VIII Attempt to Induce Ger.
man Capitalists to Aban-
don War Party

| Washington, an.14-American money
kings propose to make an appeal direct
to Germany Is business men to scrap mil
itarism and thereby avoid an economic
war after the war.
| Without threatening, the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States today
ha sunder way a vote on a resolution
which would call to the attention of
Ieuton commercial interests the danger
arising from excessive armament and
seek to avoid a postwar trade conflict.
The proposal is part of campaign be-
gun by President Wilson to compel
Germany IS liberals to abandon the big
war machine.
Many of Germany's big commercial
men, particularly shipping interests like
Herr Balm of the Hamburg American,
are understood to be increasingly OF
posed to the war for fear of loss of
war markets.
To reach such groups, the chamber
proposes its appeal.
Endorsement of the appeal is expect
ed from referendum Of all the 5O0,-
600 business men in the chamber and
it will have the tacit support of admin
istration leaders.
President Wilson, in his speech to
congress December 4, declared that
should Germany fail to throw off the
yoke of those who deceive her lit might
be impossible to admit her to the free
economic intercourse which would in
evitably spring from a peace partner
ship of nations after the war.
The chamber resolution saws: Where
as we believe the American people will
not join in discrimination against Ger
man goods after the war if the danger
of excessive armament has been remov-
ed
" Resolved, that the chamber urges
them German businessmen to study
this situation and cooperate, to the end
that a disastrous economic war may be
averted and that lasting peace may be
made more certain.
