months. 1t is such short time be-
fore constitutional Prohibition goes
into effect that it would weaken its
enforcement"
David Lawrence, well-known
newspaper writer, who has just COM
pleted tour of the country investi-
eating conditions of all kinds, writing
of Prohibition, says that it is causing
no serious unrest in the big cities
where breweries and distilleries
abound, that most of the plants will
be converted to other uses, and the
real estate is in such demand the va
cation of buildings by saloons will
have no bad effect.
He also says: Unique the
consumption of liquor has been great
ly reduced. have yet to meet man
or woman, property owner, former
bartender, business man or working
man, soldier or sailor, who has lived
in the dry region and doesn't have a
good word to say for Prohibition.
Merchants who thought it meant a
loss of business have been surprised
to find just the opposite. Bills are
paid more promptly. The average
workingman has more money to
spend for himself and his family in
the stores.
Newspaper editors claim this
means more advertising and more
reading of papers, magazines and
books. Night life is not so gay as

WHAT BRYAN SAYS

William Jennings Bryan is
of the opinion that the repeal
of the wartime Prohibition
act will be a victory for the Ii
Qour interests and would COM
NIT the Democratic party to
championship of the saloon in
its last hours, according to a
statement givin out by him the
other day. Mr.. Bryan predicts
that Congress will keep the
law IN force, since he considers
that Prohibition. strength in
the present Congress is
stronger than it was in the last.
"It is hardly conceivable"
said Mr.. Bryan, shat those
who favor Prohibition as a per-
manent Constitutional policy
will advocate or favor a six
months spree as a prelude to
Prohibition"

ABSTINENCE REASON
HAWKER'S ENDURANCE

The London Times of April
IA in a write-up about Harry G..
Hawker, who at that time was
awaiting good weather condi-
tons to attempt a flight across
the Atlantic and who later
thrilled the whole world with
his daring effort, says of him:
To those who have come
in contact with him Hawker
is a source of amazement
by reason of his incredible
toughness. He flies high
on cold days without extra
clothing and he attained an
altitude record of $4,000
feet without the use of
oxygen have become in
sensible long before they
reached that height. On
this occasion he came back
to earth by tipping the ma
chine into a nose dive and
coming down like a rocket
stick. Only a man in the
prime of physical fitness
could have stood such a
lung test. Mr.. Hawker is
lifelong teetotaller and
a non-smoker.

SMALL GRIST IN MONTANA
POLICE COURT HOPPER
Billings Shows Marked Slump in
Crime March, 1919, Under Prohi-
bition as Compared with March,
1918, Wet


The report of the police court in
the city of Billings, Montana, for the
month of March shows a very sub
stantial decrease in crime as a result
of Prohibition. The police judges
record of the month of March, 1918,
wet, tells the story. In March, 1918,
the police court fines amounted to
S1,13350. In March, 1919, they to-
tailed 1892. The reduction in crime
of Is per cent in real live western

is highly gratifying to the mayor and

LAW ENFORCEMENT BILL
WINS OUT IN ILLINOIS
1t Is Believed Now Law Will Effectu-
ally Block Efforts of Festive Boot
logger and Blind Pigger

On May Fl the Illinois House of
Representatives by vote of so to
OF passed the dry law enforcement
measure which had already been pass
ed by the Senate. This was three
votes to spare, showing that the dry
forces are still in control of the lower
house as we'll as the Senate. The bill
passed is the bill the vets have char
actcrized as a search and seizure
measure and they did their best to
stop it. The roll call came after three
hours of debate. The bill now goes
to Governor Lowden for his sigma
ture, and under its terms it will be
next to impossible for blind pig or
a bootlegger to evade the law.

The Supreme Court of the State OF
Washington on May "a in manda-
mus suit brought by the California
Grape Growers Protective Associa-
ton ruled that referendum on the
ratification OF the constitutional
amendment by the last State Legisla-
ture be submitted to the voters in the
1920 November election. provided a
sufficient number OF signatures be
procured. Under the law per cent
OF the total number OF votes cast at
the last gubernatorial contest are re-
CURED, which i'll this case is 22,657.
These figures must be procured with
in the time limit of ninety days after
the last legislative session. This time
limit is tip June II, which leaves less
than three weeks in which to circu-
late the petitions. The Supreme Court
stood FIVE to four in rendering the
opinion, the majority opinion being
written by Chief Justice Chadwick. 1t
is the first state court of appeal ruling
in favor of ratification referendum.
The Oregon Supreme Court has de-
cided exactly the opposite. No other
courts OF equal jurisdiction have yet
passed upon the question. Superin-
tendent Conger of the Anti-Saloon
League of Washington expressed the
opinion that sufficient signatures to
inject this referendum can not be OBJ
tanned by the vets between now and
June IL. If the vets do succeed in
getting it before the people it is not
at all likely that they will reject rati-
fcation. Washington has a record in
the matter of voting dry. They have
defeated the brewers at every refer
endum proposed by them and every
time by greatly increased maiorities.
In an interview in the. Cincinnati
Enquirer on May %, Theodore A.
Bell, attorney for the California Grape
Protective Association, lays great
stress upon the result of the refer
endum contest in the state of Ohio.
He says that if the voters of Ohio re-
fuse to ratify the National Prohibition
amendment at the election next No
vember the operation of the amend
ment will be sustained throughout the
United States, at least until the main
election in September, 1920. He de-
clares that the referendum to place
the measure on the ballot has been
started in ten states. Forty-hve states
have ratified the amendment through
their Legislatures and three declined
to do so. He figures that this means
that the measure is held up in ten
states by the referendum, leaving but
thirty-hve where ratification has been
effected, whereas thirty-six states are
required to make it effective. There
fore, if Ohio, which has ratified, re-
fused to vote on a referendum, the
necessary thirty-six will have been
gained.
A petition to invoke the referen
dunn in Missouri on the question
of federal Prohibition was placed in
the hands of the Secretary of State
on May % and the petition will be
circulated over the state for sigma
lures, it was declared
Petitions for referendum on the rati-
fication of the National Prohibition
amendment to the constitution, &C
cording to dispatch of Omaha, Neb,
will be circulated in Omaha and sur
rounding territory beginning May 2o.
Similar petitions will be circulated
broadcast through Nebraska.
