ANTl.SALOON LEAGUE NOW
PROPOSES A DRY WORLD

On the 10Th, 10Th and 2lst Of No.
vember, at a conference called for
Columbus Ohio, the Anti-Saloon
League of America proposes to
launch the movement for world pro-
hibition.
One of the greatest developments
in this war is the realization on
the part of the people of the civiliz-
ed world that mo nation liveth
unto ITSELF. The countries of the
world are being brought together
as never before, politically, economic
ally, morally and spiritually. Reform
movements which are to contribute
to the highest civilization can no
longer be limited by national bound
ary lines. They must catch the
missionary spirit of the age. The
suppression of great evils cannot be
longer confined to signle nation
or single continent. Civilization
itself is not safe so long as one
or more great nations harbor evils
which other countries have outlaw.
ed. For these reasons, which are
now self-evident, the great work
which the Anti-Saloon League has
been doing cannot be finally sue
cessful until the liquor traits is
driven not only from America but
from the World.
This sums up in general terms the
reasons for the worldwide program
of the Anti-Saloon League. If that
program is to be carried through.
the friends of ,nis movement must
rally the prohibition forces Of Ameri-
ca and must exert themselves as
never before. Now is the psycholo-
gical time to strike il the interna-
tional movement against the liquor
traffic is to bring the largest and
speediest results in proportion to
efforts and expenditures of the funds
of prohibition.

A part of the offerings were inspired
by reports that price regulation of cot

such sterilization would be favorable
rather than unfavorable, since it would
have the effect of removing present un-
certanties. Spots here were again nom

caused the wild fluctuations this after
noon. The matter has been called to the
attention of exchange authorities under

closing steady at net decline of l07 TO

by talk of regulation in the goods trade,
and a particularly sharp break late in
the afternoon followed reports that
bill had been introduced into the House
to fix price of 20 cents per pound on
raw cotton.

sensational trading of this sensational
week. Lowest level was reached in the

chiefly concerning the war, and the re-

lowest the fall amounted to 100 to 17S

a net less of 1870 to 145 points. Final

Washington is reported as getting ready
to fix prices on cotton, wooden and leath-
er goods. A bill to fix the maximum price
for raw cotton when sold by the producer
or dealer to the manufacturer at zoe a
pound during the war. was instroduced
today by Representative Emerson of
Ohio 1t proposed that the President may
reduce or raise the price in his dis
erection. According to my way of think
ing this man Emerson is talking through
his hat If cotton is fixed at less than
SOC, to say nothing of zoe, some other
section besides the south will raise the
major portion of the crop. There
nothing to this zoe dope, when corn,
hogs and a general diversified crop are
bringing fortunes.
Bearish war reports sent down corn,
offsetting all early advance. Oats went
down Vim sympathy with its ally, corn.
Exporters withdrew bids, setting back
oats. Provisions felt the weakness of
hogs, cotton and grains.
