But DELAYS the Inevitable Day

Dick Richards succeeded in Sc
curing enough signatures to refer
end the bone dry prohibition law,
and the measure will be voted upon
by the people at the fall election
next year. and until that time the
provisions of the act will be held
up.
While the Richards movement
stays prohibition in the state, and
in that respect is reactionary, it will
not be able to permanently affect
the coming of the dry period.
Next July. the war prohi bition
law becomes effective unless repeal
ed by congress, and in January the
national prohibition amendment to
the constitution comes into full
force thruout the nation. That
viii! remove the issue of prohibition
from the realm of state lawmaking
to that Of federal enforcement.
Mr.. Richards theory that the in
dividual should have free use of
liquors anywhere outside of a
saloon has been tried and found
wanting years ago, and that is why
drastic legislation is constantly be.
ing demanded by popular vote and
enacted into law. 1t is the uni.
versal demand that has ever been
growing stronger. that the ak shall
be applied at the root of the tree.

Of such a plan
Germany wants us to stay out of

under the delusion that we would seek

Propaganda Here a Straw.
The pro-German propaganda has
started up in this country coincident
with the oposition to the adoption of
this treaty.
Are we going to prove the enemy Of
the rest of the world Just when we have
been its savior? The thing is intolerable.
