Whisky Not Remedy
He was asked of the agitation in
certain quarters to force Congress to
release enough liquor from govern

remedy for influenza.
Whisky is not remedy for inhu-

body who prescribes it for himself is
making great mistake. Influenza
commonly carries temperature of
l03 degrees, SO it is obvious that no
additional heart action is necessary.
It is quite possible that the mild form

How America Went
On the Water Wagon
Vets Grieve, Drys Rejoice, and
Government Gets Busy

The story of America becoming
oonstitutionslly dry may be told in
three parts. Part one concerns the
vets; part two, the drys; part three,
the government.
The vets we're of two kinds--those
who had liquor to sell, and those who
wanted to buy it. 1t will never be
known to what extent the law was
violated during the last day and
hours before the Eighteenth Amend
ment became effective.
There is no doubt. however. that
considerable liquor found its way
from where it was stored by mer-
chants into the possession OF con-
sumers. Most of the wholesalers
and retailers, OF course, stopped sell
ing before January 10th.
Vets Active to Last
The traffic was confined mostly to
blind piggers and smaller dealers.
The greatest activity during the clos
ing hours of the wet era was the
transportation OF liquor by owners
from stores and clubs TO their homes.
Aside from transactions involving
the sale or transportation OF liquor
there was little activity manifested
by the vets. There were no riots. no
public meetings OF protest, or other
indications that the final hour of the
1egalized liquor traffic in America
was approaching. \ change to dry
period was accepted by a great ma
jority with cheerfulness. Drinkers
and sellers seemed to realize deep
down in their hearts that after all it
was change for the better.
Drys Glad and Serious
IF the vets were not as downcast
as might have been expected neither
were the drys extraordinarily jubi-
LIANT.
Here and there people gathered in
churches TO celebrate the passing of
John Barleyeorn. These celebrations
were participated in by only very
small fraction of the people who were
happy to see liquor banished from
America by constitutional law. The
lack of formal and outward express
sions of joy may be accounted for
in part by the fact that wartime Pro-
hibition had been in effect for many
months.
Realized Fight Unfinished
The best explanation probably is
that the friends of Prohibition real
lied the seriousness of the task be-
fore them IN the way OF law enforce
ment
The government decreed that active
.!enforeement- of Constitutional Pro-.
hibition should commence at 1901
o'clock on the morning of January
18th. Promptly thereafter federal
officers commenced making arrests
and conhscating intoxicants. Mil
lions OF dollars worth OF liquor was
conhscated in New York City within
the first four days after January 10th.
Much Liquor Captured
Reports OF similar activities by the
government ON smaller scale have
come from day to day from other
territory formerly wet These re-
ports do not indicate widespread VIC
lations in view of the enormous num-
Der Of liquor dealers forced out OF
business by the Eighteenth Amend
ment Rather they indicate the de-
termination on the part of the gov
eminent forces to carry out the law.
Ten days notice was given to liquor
owners with intoxicants stored out
side OF bona fde residences to re-
port the same to the government au-
thorities. Liquor advertising signs
were ordered removed within ten
days.

Whisky Rushed Away
From Dry U. S. A.

AS matter Of history we are pre-
serving by re-publishing in the Issue
the following account from the De-
catur Review of January Z. 1920. Flu
ture generations will be interested i'll
this little story OF the last days of
John Barleycorn:
'Unheralded, whole trainload of
whisky slipped into Decatur over the
Illinois Central late Tuesday after
noon. Evidently the engineer con-
sidered Decatur poor place for he
never even hesitated. The station at
Decatur was no more than flagman's
shanty to him and when the caboose
arrived even with the station, it was
no more than a streak.
But it would have done the thirsty
one no good to be around Every car
had big sign on the side with large
red letters which spelled "inhamma-
ble." Illinois Central special agents
here OF course had word of the APP
proach of the train and they were all
along the track through the yards and
at the station and people were not
even allowed to come close. On front
and rear end of this train were several
government deputies and each of them
carried an army rifle with plenty of
ammunition.

ORATOR BEN R. CLARK RETURNS TODAY FROM
 SCENE IF TRIUMPH

Ben R. Clark, deputy state land commissioner, has said somethingi His boss, Commissioner w. A. Mouer, vouches for the fact. According to Boss Mouer, the famous silent one of the democratic party at the capitol, actually made a speech recently in Spokane while attending the Ameri- can National Live Stock associations annual convention there.
 The Spokane newspapers, according to Boss MOuer, gave the deputy's speech rousing reception and ac- claimed him the original "Gila Ben." Mouer says that Ben made a ringing speech about the wonderful ben" when the public domain is turned over to the state land board as proposed by Ben and many others of the Ari- zona delegation.
 Oratory, heretofore has never been one of the deputy's characteristics, and his interviews at the capitol are enthusiastically brief, but away from home he is reputed a wonder. The Spokane papers never referred to him as deputy" they utterly ignored Boss Moeur and always referred to Ben as the land commission of Arizona. And his picture was in the papers, too and other Arizona cattle kings, one picture showing a group of cattle kings. including Ben, who represented 100, 900 head of stock on the range.
 Commissioner Moeur says he knows that Ben did the state proud and that he is eager to welcome him back on the job. The deputy is due home to- day, and his many friends are going to call upon him for speech.

STANDARD O|L CO. ID
 BUILD COMPLETES SUB
 STATION AT BUCKEYE

In line with the present healthy growth of the Buckeye district and it's certainty of greater future, the Standard Oil company announces it's intention of starting construction in the near future of a complete sub station at that point.
 This new sub station will be the 25th established by the Standard Oil company in Arizona, and is planned for the purpose of taking care of the grow ing demand from the public of the Buckeye district for all sorts of petro- leum products. This demand is at present being filled by rail shipments from the Phoenix plant of the com pany.
 Tank wagon service will be a feature of the new sub-station operation, and q two and half ton truck will make deliveries to surrounding towns, while a. one and onehalf-ton truck will take care of the package deliveries. This service will fill a long-fe1t need in the Buckeye region.
 Specifications for this new sub- station call for a complete and modern plant. Ample storage will be supplied by three large tanks which will be filled from tank cars by means of a power pumping plant The Arizona Eastern railroad will construct spur track direct to the plant from their handling tank cars. 60-fOOt ware house and loading platform. office building and garage comprise the re- mainder of the plant.
 Actual work on the building of this sub-station will commence within a week or two and be rushed to com pletion, in order that the Buckeye region may be able to take advantage of Standard Oil company service as soon as possible.

SPECIAL LSESS|ONCA
 BE VERY SHORT ONE
 SAYS GOV. CAMPBELL

Ample time is provided the coming special session of the legislature, that convenes on February 12, to dispose of the Susan B. Anthony amendment and close up shop again before the end of the week in which the convening date occurs, according to Governor Thomas E. Campbell, the governor holding that there will be no necessity of any sort for carrying the session into the suc- ceeding week and making the bill for the taxpayer that much more.
 According to the governor, the busi- ness of disposing of the amendment leaving day and half for details be- fore Saturday noon. Con F. Cronin, state librarian, and rated as authority on legislative procedure, recently fig ured that because of constitutional limitations three-day period was necessary for disposing of bill, but the governor does not admit the librar- ian's contention.
 Some authorities at the capitol hold that the legislature will not get down to business until the Monday follow ing the opening of the session, those authorities figuring that Thursday will be devoted to "preliminaries" and that adjournment will be taken then until the following Monday on the ground that Friday, the thirteenth. is done on Saturday morning, which is a legal holiday.
 The governor takes the stand that the business of the session can be com pIeted during the week and that if the session runs over into another week the legislators must answer to their constituents.

will charge the members to carry on the campaign, bringing it to as suc- cessful close as has marked all Y efforts in this city.
 J. O. Sexson, secretary of the Y, stated that invitations to the banquet would be posted to members today He said that he hoped to hear from anyone not receiving an invitation, as it was the wish of the committee in charge that the entire membership be present at the affair.
 Reports from field secretaries indi- cate widespread and deep interest in the program of the Near East Relief in Arizona. calling for the adoption of 1000 Armenian orphans.
