something no ordinary drinker wants

The better grade Of whisky is
practically unobtainable today in
Washington. There are still a few
bootleggers located outside the city
limits.
Remaining Ones Wary.
AS to the remaining members of
the clan of illegal liquor sellers in
Washington, they have grown to be
suspicious lot. Several of them
also were caught by wartime pro-
hioition with a very small stock.
Others are holding on cautiously to
what they have. hoping for the day
when whisky will sell for almost
its weight in gold.
There are some of the "old linen
bootleggers who were wise enough
to stop selling whisky immediately
when wartime ''dryness" went into
effect. They are boarding a little

Bootlegging in Washington
Almost Thing of the Past

Bootlegging in Washington is al
most thing of the past.
There are several reasons why.
One is the cutting off of the main
source of supply-Baltimore-
the others are that so many of the
bootleggers have been arrested and
the arrests have included many
S,old-established" bootleggers with
a regular run" of >customers-and
that in order to make anything like
the old profit on whisky, the very
few that are selling it, are asking
very high prices for it.
1t is estimated that within three
months, Washington will be COM
paratively free of bootleggers who
can be classed as professional. or
course some whisky will be sold, but
when these sales do take place, IT
will be by persons who are hard
up and must get hold OF money
and are willing to part with some,
Or all of their precious stock.

Now werId Power.
America may be said to have
just reached her majority as a
world power. 1t was almost ex-
actiy twenty-one years ago that
the results of the war with Spain
put US Unexpectedly in possess
sion OF rich islands on the other
side Of the world and brought us
into association with other gov
ernments in the control of the
West Indies. 1t was regarded as
sinister and ominous thing by
the statesmen of more than one
European chancellery that we
should have extended our power
beyond the confines of our con-
tinental dominions. They were
accustomed to think of new
neighbors as a new menace, of
rivals as watchful enemies.
There were persons among us at
home who looked with deep dis
approval and avowed anxiety on
such extensions OF our national
and over peoples whom they
reared we might exploit. not
serve and assist. But we have
not exploited them. We have
been their friends and have
sought to- serve them. Ana our
dominion has been a menace to
no other nation. We redeemed
r our honor to the utmost in our
dealings with Cuba. She is weak,
but absolutely free; and it is her
trust In us that makes her FREQ
Authority Il Ready.
Weak people everywhere STAND
ready 10 give us any authority
among them that will assure them
ike friendly oversight and direc-
ton. They know that there is no
ground for fear in receiving us as
their mentors and guides. Our iso-
lation was ended twenty years ago;
and now fear of us is ended also,
our counsel and association sought
after and desired. There can be
no question of our ceasing to be a
world power. The only question is
whether We can refuse the moral
leadership that is offered US.
whether We shall accept or reject
the confidence of the world.
The war and the conference of
peace now sitting in Paris seem to
me to have answered that question.
Our participation in the war estab-
hshed our position among the ma
tons and nothing but our own mis-
taken action can alter il. It was
not an accident or a matter of sud
den choice that we are no longer
isolated and devoted to a policy
which has only our own interest
