Soldier Votes Claimed by Drys.

James A White, manager of the Ohio

issued last night in which he declared

claimed that the votes of returned SOL

unusually hard lights this year. knowing

would do. Ohio is the first state that

JAPAN REPLIES TOU.S.
NOTE REGARDING SIBERIA
Willingness to Cooper
ate With American Authorities
in Protecting Engineers.

Japan, replying to a note from the
United States government last Septem-
Der regarding conditions in Siberia, has
expressed a willingness to cooperate
with the American authorities. both mil
itary and civil, in that country. That
announcement was made at the State
Department last night, but the text OF
the Japanese reply was withheld.
The note sent by the United States to
Toxic has never been made public, but
dispatches from Toxic a month ago said
the United States had pointed out that
Japanese troops in Siberia had failed
to protect the lives and property Of the
American railroad engineers and had
failed to cooperate with them in the
broad spirit Of conducting the railroad
in the interest OF the Russian people by
permitting the transportation OF food
supplies 80 necessary to the Russians.

VOTES TO REMAIN
IN THE DRY RANKS
Majority May Reach Three
Times the Size of That Re-
corded a Year Ago.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November g.
Ohio yesterday voted to remain in
the dry column by a majority which
may reach. three times the size of
that by which 1t voted prohibition a
year ago, according to incomplete and
uaAAcial returns received early to-
day at the Office OF tts secretary OF
state.
Secretary Of State Smith said early
today that partial returns to his
Office from half the counties in the
state indicated a dry majority on all
four prohibition proposals of approx
mately $4,000.
Yesterdays dry victory came just
year after Ohio first voted state
wide prohibition by a majority of
prohibition became effective, on May
Federal Prohibition Upheld.
In addition to defeating the pro-
posed repeal Of statewide prohibi-
ton. Ohio yesterday apparently voted
by big majorities to uphold the
action of the legislature in ratifying
the federal prohibition amendment;
to kill proposal for the manufac-
ture and sale Of beer containing as
high as 2.75 per cent alcohol. and
to put into effect the Crabb prohibi-
ton enforcement bill passed by the
legislature last spring. All Of the
prohibition proposals were initiated
by the vets.
L. H Gibson. manager of the Ohio
Home Rule Association. early this morn
ing issued q statement at Cincinnati
conceding that the drys had carried
three Of the four prohibition proposals
He commended, however, that the vote
was close on the proposed constitutional
amendment permitting the maRufac-
ture and safe Of beer containing 2.75 per

Taxation Amendment Defeated.

Indications today were that the pro-
poeed constitutional amendment pro-
yidfng for the classification OF prop
erty for taxation was defeated by a
majority Of more than 100000. The
Ohio Taxpayers League, which spon-
sored the amendment. conceded its
defeat late last night by more than
100000. The amendment was victo-
rious in three larger cities. but went
down to defeat before a landslide of
opposition votes in the smaller towns
and rural communities.
Yesterdays vote was unusually
heavy, in view Of the fact that no
state officials were to be elected.
Warmly contested municipal elections
brought out a large vote.

was reelected in Cleveland; Mayor

AN ISLE OF PROSPERITY.

1t has been a hard quest to find some one or
something that has been legitimately benetltea
by the war. 1t appears from a little circular
issued bv the Banco Mercantile Americana de
Cuba that off our shores lies an isle OF pros
perity. Cuba has more than doubled her ex-
ports; she has more than doubled her produc-
ton; her workers are getting more money, and
are spending accordingly since her imports
have doubled. Her finances are sound; her
public improvements are many the standard or
living throughout the island has risen, and the
people are contented, ambitious and active as
never before. With all this prosperity we are
concerned. About seventy-fve per cent. OF
trade is with us and much of the rest
Iof it travels through our hands. A large Cuban
market means an increase proportionally in our
markets.
All this prosperity has come to Cuba quite
.Iegitimately. She stood firmly with the entente
in sympathy, and when WI entered the war she
was prompt to do what she could in active sup
port. Her good fortune is founded on another's
loss.

THE RIDICULOUS PRIMARY.

The ancient east is the cradle of religions,
but the west-which used to be called woody
is the crib of radicalism in which all sorts of
misbegotten political weanlings are nourlshed
through their adolescence and then loosed upon
the rest of the country. Almost all of the freak
ish propositions came from the territory includ-
ed in that vast domain reaching from the
Mississippi to the Pacific; here any movement
which labels itself progressive can get a start.
The referendum, the recall, greenbacklsm, pop
ulism all jumped into being here and Swallowed
the states like Jonah's gourd until the worm
of their inherent idiocy got in its work and they
began to wither and decay.
The double election abomination known as
the direct primary was an ingenious western
product. Legislature after legislature adopted
it with whoops of delirious delight, and the
whole land heard their joyous chortle that the
political millennium had arrived. Moved by
this rapturous outburst other states stampeded
for it, carrying their intelligent element off
their feet. 1t swept the prairie states like wild
fire. The western reserve got into the process
sion. The political ragtail and bobtail of all
the parties got on their feet and howled in
favor of it, and at last the conservative eastern
states wrote the ridiculous thing into their
laws.
1t worked abominably from the first and all
attempts to tinker it into usefulness made it
worse. The bosses found it just the instrument
they needed. They seized upon it with aviditv
and admitted that whereas a state convention
of the intelligence Of the party might have
retired them to private life, the political hoi
polloi, as they had been able to herd them under
this system, had intrenched them in power. We
]lnow to our humiliation and harm how it has
worked in the state o. Iowa and what a sigh of
relief the people would heave if they could get
. legislature with brains and stamina enough
to sweep it away. But the system does not give
us that kind of representatives but men of the
other sort whom fanatics can scare into fits and
bulldoze into courses which are not for the hest
interests of the people.
But now the west is coming to it's senses and

near the Canadian border, has its

whose officers were ready for de

money without collateral. The In

too hurriedly to desolate ST. Adams.
Before the intruders clapped heels
to their horses they explained in an
unfamiliar dialect that they had or
ders from Jubal A. Early to retaliate
for the laying waste OF the Shenan-
doah valley. The war had reached
st. Adams, sleeping off market day.
Not too late the villagers were up
and doing, every ~able-bodied man
with ginger in him. Guns were
seized, there was mounting in hot
haste, and the Vermonters sped to
get their money and the fleeing raid
ers. The latter had not laid eyes on
SO much uninflated paper since SUM
ter was fired on. and in their excite
ment they dropped some of it, the
Vermonters bouncing on the spoil.
Over the boundary line galloped the
raiders, and the pursuers spurred
after them. The Canadians woke up,
too. In the end about a dozen of the
confederates escaped the rally; one
by one the others were ridden down.
More than half the money was never
recovered, which was to be expected.
For at that time a bottle of spirits
cost 5000 in confederate money, and
what could be saved from the aveng
gers was worth fleeing with.
Over the affair Uncle Sam and
John Bull almost came to blows. De-
livery OF the raiders was demanded
of Canada, but Mr.. Justice Smith, at
Montreal, in a learned opinion re-
leased them from custody, insisting
that they were soldiers OF the con-
fAI n-I 11,,hat,-t ant
ing under orders produced from
their government. His honor laid
stress upon the organizing OF the
raid in Chicago; Canada had not
been used as a base, and SO on. His
opinion was stuffed full of law logic,
and the Ashburton treaty could not
be evoked-so he commended. The
leader of the st. Adams raid died at
Louisville the other day at the ripe
old age OF rs. He was Lieutenant
Bennett H. Young in 1864. He be-
came a useful and honored citizen
OF Kentucky and the south after the
war, a historian, lecturer, orator, and
educator, Presbyterian moderator,
commander in chief of the confeder-
ate veterans, a man of good repute
and standing, although st. Adams.

turbed by an eruption of civil war,

today, and they nave their own opin-
ions about Bennett H. Young and
