PEYOTE HAS AN AWFUL
WALLOP SAYS OFFICER
Indians on Border Have Discovered
a Whisky Substitute in the Cactus
Bean

Matthew X. Sniffner, secretary of
the Indian Rights Association, tells
of a substitute for whisky that is be-
ing used by the Indians which has
great possibilities for harm. He
urges that the government take ac-
ton against the use of this substitute.
1t is known as peyote and is drug
procured from the top of the cactus
plant which grows in the territory
along the Mexican border. 1t is said
the laws against narcotics and drugs
fail to cover peyote and manufacture
crs have so far fought successfully
against its Punishment. Sniffner de-
clares peyote can produce quicker
and more complete intoxication than
ordinary whisky.

CRUSADE IN CLEVELAND
AGAINST BOOZE JOINTS
Dry Maintenance League Says Liquor
Selling Places Will be Prosecuted

Secretary George c. Southwell of
the Dry Maintenance League of
Cleveland, Ohio, declared on October
% that a crusade against more than
a hundred establishments in the
county where it is believed liquor is
or has been sold will be begun at
once. He announces that the ruling
by Common Pleas Judge Stephens
that Justice of the Peace OF any
township of the county has power to
try and punish any individual OF the
county in violation OF the dry laws,
will prove strong weapon in the
hands of the drys.
This ruling was made on test case
by Police Prosecutor Lind to free Al
bert Wheeler, proprietor of Cleve-
land establishment who was COM
mitted to jail after failing to pay a
fine assessed for selling liquor. Mr.
Southwell also declared that the ma
tional enforcement code would prove
a great aid in cleaning out the illicit
joints in and around Cleveland.

Liquor Robberies Now Frequent
ly Reported
Thieves Seem to Be Showing De-
cided Preference for Booze;
Other Valuables Have Lost
Charm

Thirty of the l20 cases of whisky
stolen from the Old Rose Distilling
Company, Chicago, were found by
the Chicago police in a barn in the
vicinity of Halstead and 38th streets,
Chicago. The police are searching
other barns in the lleighborhood.
The robbery represents a $4,000
loss to the distillery company.
The owners OF the captured truck
in which the 80 cases were found, pro-
prietors of a garage and expressing
business, were taken into custody by
the police. They explained to the
police captain that the truck had been
stolen from their garage during the
night.
The robbery which assumed the di-
mansions of an organized raid before
the removal Of the liquor had been
completed, was conducted with mill
tary precision. A leader, said by the
Waterman to be about seven feet
tall" directed eighteen men in the
looting OF the warehouse Three
trucks were used to carry away the
whisky. The Waterman was seized
by the robbers who securely bound
his hands and feet with handkerchiefs
under The direction of the giant chief
Then they stood him up in the alley
against one end of the loading plat
form. The Waterman says that the
next thing he knew the alley was
filled with men who made noise
enough to wake the dead. The traffic
in the neighborhood was heavy also
but the robbers worked unmolested
Robbers are showing a decided
preference for booze these days
Gold and diamonds have lost their
charm apparently.

HOPE SPRINGS AFRESH IN
PHILA. BARKEEPS' BREASTS
Saloonists Promptly Pay November
License Fee in Vain Hope That
"Suthin" Will Shortly Happen

The Philadelphia saloonsts are
certainly an optimistic bunch. Pres
ident Pearson of the Philadelphia
Liquor Dealers Association has asked
1850 saloonkeepers of the city to pay
their license installment OF 1910 for
the month of November, in the expec-
tation that there will be short open
period before Constitutional Prohibi-
ton becomes operative.
Many of the saloonists are doing
a thriving lunch counter business and
this with the soft drink sales will en-
able them to meet their November
license fee. However, it is admitted
that the outlook is not very promis-
ing. The newspapers report that
some of them have lost hope and are
seeking, other lines of employment.

TRANSVsALlkM TAKES PEN IN HAND
No "Pussyfoot" Peril in Old
England
Case of American Prohibition
Cited
Legislation Is Magisterial in
Character
Wet Tactics Doomed to Utter
Failure

The subjoined communication from
"F. c. B." i'll The Star, Johannesb, rig,
Transvaal, South Africa, is illumillat-
ing and interesting as showing The
attitude of the British colonies o.
ward Prohibition in Great Britain.
To the Editor of The Star:
Sir: Your editorial headed Pussy
foot Campaign" shows unnecessary
solicitude for the Old Country in the
matter OF Prohibition. England will
not be stampcded into being a dry
country, any more than the United
States. 1t took forty years to show
the latter the advantages of cutting
out the drink, and local option was
the weapon. Only as the people
themselves saw the advantages and
voted for the principle was Prohibi-
ton carried. You cannot .legislate in
advance of public opinion, but as the
people realize the effectiveness of dry
localities and industries, you will find
them moving in that direction. |
commend to your notice an article in
Harper's Magazine, for August, 1918,
written from the unitarian stand
point, and disclaiming any interest in
the temperance question. 1t showed
plainly, however, that iron and steel
works, railways, and shipyards were
being run dry because there was far
greater efficiency and greater output.
No loss of time on Monday mornings
and less danger to human life.
"The Trade" of course, cannot look
on with complacency and is using the
press to send out worldwide S. o. S.
signals. In America it spent i'm
mense sums in this way, even to the
buying of a New York paper, but il
did not avail. This question will not
betsettled in the Old Country by such
tactics. Britishers are not all fools
so they will watch results and weigh
matters; and I think John Bull will
presently wake up" to find that if he
is not to be left behind in the indus.
trial world this question of Prohibi-
ton will have to be faced.
