WHAT IT WILL LEAD TO.

If wet homes under bone-dry laws become part of nationwide prohibit tion we may look for such laws to be followed by others of like kind-wo- man suffrage. marriage and divorce, etc. The so-Called Jones amendment tu the pending food survey bill in the senate is intended to make the coun- try "Iono-dry." The New York World points out how this new drive for rrohibi.ion is said to trouble various congrcssmon. The World says:
 "Both in Washncton and Oregon great home industry is growing up in the manufacture of beers and wines for home consumption which is as much against the law as if made for sale. Some 5o.U0U home breweries are said to exist already in these two states Grocers specialize in the sale of malt, hops and yeast. and machines for fastening tops on beer bottles are openly advertised ana SOlu III great numbers Grapes. an air-tiEht bar rel, hot water and one month are voiced around as tn" sole require ments for barrel of wine of i'm pressive strength while the home brewery turns out a beer twice as strong in alcohol as the commercial article.
 There is no reason to doubt the substantial truth of these reports. There is better reason to think that they undcrstate the situation. It IS all in line with human experience time out of mind, and any man in his senses must know that an extension oi the same policy of repressio over the nation will lead to an extension of the same conditions of food waste rather than conservation, and of a riot of intemperance consorting with lawlessness rather than the absten ton which is sought"

THE DAY AFTER THE WAR

There is going to be something do- ing the day after the war. Of course it is understood in military circles there will be numerous details to look after the day the war is over-details like arranging for Kaiser Billy's long vacation, and so forth. But in other lines there will be a decided squirt.
 About five millions people will start to build homes. We know these fig tres are correct because they have told us so. Carpentry is going to come into it's own that day if there are enough hammers to go around.

for the letter
What shall be done with the kali

In these days of enlightenment and
universal striving toward liberty of
mankind, no criminal, even though he
wears a crown, should escape trial
and punishment.
The kaiser stands today as the
worlds arch criminal. He planned
the destruction of millions of lives.
For years he has carefully calculated
every obstacle which would gain for
him world empire, and to obtain
which he staked the lives of his peo-
pie. He has lost.
No punishment that can be imposed
upon him will alleviate the sufferingS
of the thousands of mothers, wives,
brothers and sisters or will stop the
torrents of tears because of his crime.
But when it is melted out it should
be of such nature as to warn all flu
ture rulers of the fate that will befall
them when liberty awakes and tyr
amy is doOmed.-FlOrence Macbeth.

GIVES HOPE TO DRIVES
Mistakes Are Found in Reporting the
Vote in Two Counties.

mistakes Are Fouho IN reporting tne
Vote in Two Counties.
Additional stimulus to plans of
prohibition leaders of the state to
ask for a recount on the wet and dry
vote at the recent election was re-
ceived yesterday, says The st. Paul
Pioneer Press.
1t came in the form of notices to
Secretary of State Schmahl from two
county auditors that they had dis
covered mistakes which would reduce
the "wets" majority by 1872 votes.
These official reports, together with
other unofficial ones, probably will
bring call for a recount within a
few days, according to leaders in the
dry movement.
They reported last night they we're
completing a check on such reports
and anticipated early action.
The mistakes reported yesterday
came from Renville and Fillmore
counties
According to the final state wide
official returns the vets were vic
torious by a majority of 756 votes.
The change would cut that figure
to 594.
