The retext for National Prohibition

The plea for National Prohibition is made on the ground that the Prohibition States could protect themselves against liquor shipments from Wet" States This no longer exists. The Webb-Kenyon Law together with the Reed Amendment (genefaly known the Bone-Dry" Lawl forbid any railroad express company to transport liquor into States whose laws prohibit it, and make crime for anyone to bring liquor into any Prohibition State
 If State wants to be "Bone-Dry" it can become so by adopting State Prohibition with the that the Federal Government will see to it that no liquor shipped in
 The amended Webb-Kenyon Law was passed in rec ognition of the right each State adopt policy liquor legislation free from outside interference For the those States which do want Prohibit ton must have the right o protection for their policy FREE FROM INTERFERENCE.
 Coercion by constitutional amendment of states opposed to Prohibition would be unfair.

 AMERICA AWAKE"
" f' t-tf

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. S.-Sol- diers and sailors and mothers of young children were the only classes
 f citizens exempted from call to national service issued here today by Col Theodore Roosevelt during the course of a Liberty Loan address.
 Speaking as 'cne American to all -ther Americans" the former presi- dent urged "One common devotion tc our country and our flag"
 America has walked up." he de- clared, and you can better appreciate what this admission means from me when you recall that I did not hesi- tate to tell you when I thought you were asleep. America has made up it's mind to win this war-to win it as soon as possible, but to fight it through to the end"
 A crowd estimated at 12,00O heard the address.
 Money, munitions, airplanes, ships will not win this war" the speaker said. Just one thing will win and that is the fighting ability of the men at the front
 Profiteers who accumulate war for tunes will leave tainted money to their sons, he declared, and he scored the blood brothers" the slackers, to- gether with conscientious ObjectOrs, 'internationalists, paciiists and fol lowers of the black flag of German ized socialism and the red flag of an- archy."

MORE AUSTRIAN PIFFLE;; CZECH CALLS THE TURN
By Review Leased Wirel

VIENNA, via Basel, Oct. S.-Discus- sion of the governments declaration and the question of peace was begun yesterday in the Austrian chamber of deputies. The socialist deputies de- manded peace on the following basis;
 The creation of a league of na- tions.
 No economic warfare.
 No annexations.
 The restoration of Serbia, Monte negro and Belgium.
 Revision of the treaties of Bucharest and Brest-Litovsk.
 A settlement of the eastern Ques- tions on the basis of nationaiities.
 The regulation of the, Polish ques- tion by the Polish constituents.
 'The estimation of autonomy for each nation in Austria-Hungary.
 NJ. Stanek, a Czech deputy, caused an .uproar in the chamber by violent ly attacking Germany. He reaffirn- ed the solidarity of the Jugo-Slavs, Poles and Czechs and declared that the only means of reaching peace was to accept President Wilson's fourteen points.
 The sitting ended with the introduc- tion of a motion demanding an interna- tional congress of peace to settle the Polish and international questions.
