assuming a ferocity never before wit

the whole Swiss nation was and is

great many apologists to plead for

President Ador and Former Presi-

Joining. Their argument is that the
disadvantages Of not joining outweigh
the advantages OF joining.
Calender will recommend resolu-

is probable that the federal council.
which is the government. will endorse
the recommendation on its political
chief. But the people themselves
have the deciding vote. The question
will be submitted to them next month,
In the meantime the hottest sort of
a political fight is being carried on,
Every party is calling a national con-

REPORTS OF DRY

Boston, August 6.--Eation-wid

Boston, August s.--Nation-wide
prohibition has since July l, accord
ing to the general tenor of reports
from all parts OF the country, reduc-
ed drunkenness tremendously, and
has had splendid effect in many
other ways. The evidence indicates
clearly that prohibition Is being ac-
cepted cheerfully by a great majority
Of the American people. and that
to 1t is the propaganda of the liquor
men. whose controlling interests is
admittedly a selfish one.
In several cities retail liquor deal
ers have expressed themselves as glad
TO have done with the sale of whisky,
This feeling conforms to that OF nu-
merous hotel proprietors in states
which went dry before the passage Of
the constitutional amendment OF the
date on which the wartime prohibit
tion act went into effect. Most ON the
hotel men reported themselves heart
lily in favor of prohibition. although
they had generally voted against it on
grounds Of self-intcrest In general,
they hal found other means OF maxi
ing up revenue formerly obtained
from the bar
The experience OF Michigan, after
prohibition became effective there,
that crimes involving cruelty. includ-
ing cruelty to animals. diminished
greatly is being paralleled in cities
affected by the War-Prohibition Act.
A report from Kansas City, for exam
pie. says that the wife heater seems

that city is quot I'd es predicting a so
per cent, decrease in crime after pro-
hlbition has become into full force. In
st. Paul arrests have fallen off so
per cent, and in Milwaukee, the police
and court officials have had almost
nothing to do.
The decline in arrests for drunk en-
ness was the first effect OF prohibition
generally noticeable, In Boston, for
example, the number of such arrests
on day just before prohibition be-
came effective was 4l2. A week later
approximately. the city court, which
had almost daily since July set new
low records for drunk eAness cases,
had only one such case. Similar ex-
periences are reported from every
large city affected by wartime act,
although the police are now in general
much more active IN arresting in
toxicated persons than in the past.
1t was formerly the rule not to mo-
lest a man unless ne was practically

the signs of intoxication is arrested.

every Swiss citizens and may drive
him, to vote against joining.
The league commission Of the Swiss
peace society, which is in favor Of
joining, has published a statement in
which are enumerated the principal
demands for changes in the covenant
to be made by Switzerland immedi-
ately after her admission to the
league These demands include:
/. The league must be universal
organization and include all. The
exclusion of Germany, Russia or any
other nation is indefensible.
?. War must be made absolutely
impossible.
8. Racial or national minorities
must have their rights guaranteed.
4 The league and all its member
must be organized on a really demo-
cratic basis.
8. Arbitration must be made obli-
gatory. The present covenant in this
respect, is less drastic than the sec
ond arbitration agreement of The
Hague.
A letter written by Professor George
Heron, whom the papers call per-
sonal friend of President Wilson, is
widely circulated. Professor Heron
was attached to the American peace
delegation at Paris. In a letter. orgi-
nally published in the Tribune de
Genve, he exhorts the Swiss people
to demand that their own proposed
covenant for a league OF nations.

Once prohibition becomes habitual,
police officers believe. there will be a
decrease in major as well as minor
crimes, In Boston, the pawnbrokers'
business has fallen off because men
are not rawnlng goods for money
with which to buy liquor, and their
wives are not forced to seek the pawn
shops aid after the husbands have
squandered their pay on liquor. The
effect generally, it is believed, will
be to make the wage-earner's money
go further, to stimulate thrift, to pro-
mote the purchase OF useful articles.
such as clothing and household furni-
ture, and, by relieving economic
stress and improper living conditions
in many families, to remove incen-
tives to crime.
Many merchants, for example, say
that after the country has become ad-
iusted to prohibition they expect a
large increase in trade. A part of the
money that once went over the bar
Will go over the store counter, and
the rest will ri into the bank. Buff

Quite apart from the general in

from this trade improvement, many

TAMA'S SOLDIER MAIL.

y
Bearing upon the lnexcusable fail
ure of the government to handle the
soldiers mail in France mother
writes:
We receive letters from him about
very three weeks. The last one, a
week ago. he said he had not had cent
of pay for five months but would not
care for the money II he could only
hear from home to know we were still
alive.
Here Is case where letters from
France came through, but letters to
the soldier in France fail to reach him.
We have many similar cases in Tama
county and many cases where letters
written by the boys in Europe fail to
reach home. The breaking down Of the
mail service is an outrage. There is
absolutely no excuse for 1t. There Is
no such complaint In Canada Mail
comes and goes from the army regu-
larly, because Canada has system,
But on top OF the breaking down of the
American mail service now comes the
complaint of many soldiers that they
do not get their pay. II is questionable
which Is the least excusable--the fail
ure of the government to handle the
soldiers mail or it's failure to pay their
small wages. The people have freely
provided the money. The fault Is all
in government inefficiency. 1t seems
to be one blunder after another.
