Even under the circumstances I'M

his charm. I have not the slight

SO many married women, little

the wives are with their hus-

l can say this for Dick, how

he has never bored me. There

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Cal

vets against the onslaught of the
bone drys. has perfected the defen;
sive strategy for the liquor inter
ests OF the nation.
Il Is incorporated In the Rom
niger bill, an initiative measure d.

saloon. to be voted on at the next
election.
This program, rapidly being
adopted by the vets in other
states, IL their last desperate eff
fort to prevent ratification of the
congressional prohibition amend
ment.
Had Narrow Escape.
In Senator J. A. Rominger OF
California the wine and brewing
interests of the country have
found their Horatius.
With his bill ready for direct
popular vote and practically GER
tain Of adoption. he is holding the
bridge against the hosts of tee
totalism while the thirsty hordes
reorganize their forces.
California, like the rest of the
nation, seems to be thumbs
down" for the saloon.
BY its old alliance with whisky,
the great grape industry of the
state, supply three-fourths of do
nestle wines for the entire coun-
tyy, narrowly missed going into
the discard during recent cleo
tons.

down with 1t.
II adopted. the Rominger initia-
tive will abolish all saloons on
July 1, 1919, in California.
1t will stop the sale Of alcoholic
liquors of the ardent type, such as
gin, whisky, rum and brandy.
But 1t will permit the manufac-
ture and sale of wines and beers
for local consumption or export.
Hotels and restaurants. clubs
and summer resorts will be allow
ed to serve wines and beer with
meals and at banquets In every
yet city and supervisorial dis
trict.
Such liquors must however. con-
tain less than Ia per cent alcohol
and shall be served only between
the hours Of noon and midnight.
For home consumption the bill
would permit the purchase Of
sweet wines and cordials up to 81
per cent alcohol from manufac-
turers, with two gallons as the
minimum quantity.
The number of bottle houses In
each incorporated city would be
one to each 1000 of population.
Towns of less than 1000 would
be entitled to one.
Each district or city shall have
the right to decide how many
hotel, restaurant and club licenses
are issued.
The Rominger measure would in
no way alter or conflict with local
option laws already in effect.
With this bill as a model, other
states are rapidly preparing cam
paigns to wet up dry territory,
and, by adjustment of the saloon,
to so modify the anti-liquor senti-
ment as to prevent ratification OF
the federal prohibition amend
ment within the next seven years.

Here is bit of advice from Canadian soldier OF
Nnres to certain soldier and to certain officer OF
the army of the United States. To the latter he
writes:
'sDon't refuse to associate again with an en-
listed man whom you meet off the drill ground and
away from camp You may need him some day to
carry you off the field in Flanders And if he likes
you and your kind Il IL make heap of difference"
And to the enlisted man this soldier of Ypres has
also his bit of advice:
ssDon't mind young officer who is snobbish.
He's rookie in his way like you are in yours, he
SHOULDN'T do it. His snobbery will all be shot away
In the first fight. 1t has to be or he'll 60 down.

The Japs Can Collect

Japan is "talking turkey" to Russia after
fashion that will suit the taste of some Americans.
Japan has lent the allies over half billion dollars,
the geater part of which has gone in ammunition
and supplies to Russia, and she now notifies the
bolshevik that, if her loans endangered by the
present racket, she'll take compensation In the
ihape of Russian real estate.
One thing the bolsheviki have neglected to
promise, and that is guaranty of loans to Russia
But how can government that's living largely on
4 promise to promiscuously divide the land with
tape measure offer its real estate as securitys
We've got something like 400 millions invested
IN Russia The Japs aren't very busy with fight
ing, and maybe They'll kindly give us an object les
ION on how to collect.

The Times-Record does not want to
be unfair to anyone whether he is on
the ticket we vote or the opposition
so we want to correct an error that is
going the rounds of the press and
which is misleading to many people.
We have been under the impression
that Attorney General VIM. Langer's
order for the shipment of liquor into
the State for medicinal purposes was
open to all druggists. This is not so.
The order only applies to those drug
gists that have permit given them
according to law and no one can get
liquor from any of these drug stores
unless on a regular physicians pre-
scription. Mr.. LANCER is taking the
necessary steps to prosecute violation
of the prohibition law just the same
as ever and he is to be commended for
that. We know lots of people do not
like Mr.. Langer-especially those who
are opposed to the enforcement of the
prohibition law, but he deserves Gre
dit for what he has done along these
lines anyway. We want to give him
: just as fair show as any other man
because he is entitled to square deal.
