FIFTEEN MILLION GALLONS
OF WHISKY WITHDRAWN

It is estimated there were 54,000,0 900
gallons OF whisky in the bonded ware
houses of the country January 10
when the National Prohibition Amend
ment became effective. Since then it
is estimated that 100000 gallons
have ben withdrawn. Not all the
whisky Withdrawn has been used for
non-beverage purposes, There have
been all kinds OF trickery in getting
the stuff into the hands Of the boot
leggers. Forger permits have played
an important part and framed-up rob
berries have also been a popular
method. However, the more rapidly
the whisky is withdrawn the quicker
the country will be rid of it and the
sooner the republic will reach the goal
OF complete Prohibition.

LACK OF TENANTS
Caused the Closing of the Peoria
House of Correction

The famous Peoria, Illinois, House
of Correction opened in 1870 is now
closed because of lack of tenants.
Prohibition is responsible. Peoria
was the great distilling center of the
United States. Quite naturally there
was need of a work house. At times
the institution sheltered 1876 pris-
oners. J. w. Brodman has been SUI
perintendent for the past 80 years.
He computes that during his incum-
bency no less than $4,000 prisoners
were sheltered, the great majority
being sent over for intoxication.
With the closing OF the saloon the
number OF prisoners dwindled. OF
late the small list of prisoners made
it imperative that the institution be
closed and the prisoners from the
various justice courts be sent to the
smaller city prison. The closing Of
the prison is an epoch in the history
OF Peoria.

INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL
USERS ASK CHANGE
Would Have Officer Solely In Charge
of Industrial Alcohol Permits; Also
Advisory Committee

Representatives OF thirteen national
manufacturers associations which nse
alcoho, OF colleges which require it
in their laboratories and of the Army
and Navy Departments which need
alcohol in the manufacture OF muni-
tions, met in Washington a few days
ago to present TO the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue facts relative to
the governing of alcohol supply for
industrial purposes.
They maintain that there is need of
a change in the administration of the
law as it concerns the issuance OF per-
mits for the purpose of alcohol for
industrial purposes.
They advocate, first, the appoint
ment of an official in each district
who would be exclusively charged
with tie administration of the indus
trial alcohol provisions of the Vol
stead Code. They criticized the pres
ent system of having one and the
same official in charge of the sup
preston OF the illicit liquor traffic and
the issuance OF these industrial alco-
hol permits Second, the appoint
ment in each district of an advisory
committee representing firms using
alcoholic liquors, to aid in ready sery-
ice to firms whose past records entitle

NO NEED FOR IT.

A dispatch from Frankfort, Ken
lucky, to the Cincinnati Enquirer says
that the mayor OF Kentucky's capital
city has advertised for the sale OF
the city patrol wagon. Since Prohi-
bition became effective, arrests are so
few and far between that the patrol
wagon stands idle most OF the time in
livery stable and as the result, the
city council has decided to cancel its
contract for the upkeep of the wagon.
Inasmuch as Frankfort was a center
of the distilNng traffic, the news car
ries an added significance.

BUCKEYE STATE DRYS HOLD
THEIR OWN IN PRIMARIES
Gubernatorial Candidates Dues
toned by League; Willis
Wins in Senatorial Fight
NEXT LEGISLATURES DRY
Indications Are Congressional
Delegations Will Not Increase
It's Wet Membership

The primary election results in the
state OF Ohio August 10 indicate that
the congressional delegation will have
as many dry votes as in the present
House Most of the old dry leaders
have been nominated and will be re-
elected
The Anti-Saloon League also an
nounces that indications are there will
be a dry majority in both House and
Senate of the state Legislature.
Former Governor Willis. successful
candidate for United States Senate in
the Republican primaries, was in
dorsed by the Anti-Saloon League.
He carried "a of the SO counties.
A feature of the primary was the
close race between Julian OF Cincn-
matt and O'Neal OF Akron for the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator The final count
seems to favor Julian.
There was no close fight for the
gubernatorial nomination. Davis, the
successful Republican, easily secured
plurality over his two opponents,
while Donahey, Democratic aspirant,
had no opposition. The charge is
made and not denied that in Cleve-
land many Democrats voted for Da-
Wis, some of them because they
wanted TO vote for him at the No
vember election and some of them
because they believed he would be
most easily defeated at that election
One newspaper report places the
number of such Democrats at 10000
Two years ago at the general election,
Cuyahoga Republicans polied 45,705
votes. while at the August 10 pri-
maries this year they polled 44,340.
1t is rare that in any city or COM
munity either party polls so per cent
OF its vote at the primary. Davis has
been identified with the vets, while
Donahey has no public record on
the question in the Office of auditor
OF state which he has filed for several
years. The Anti-Saloon League
mikes the following statement:
The League is waiting to hear
how Davis and Donahey stand
on law enforcement and on emer-
gency legislation. 1t is up to
them to inform the voters on this
issue. The one who will frankly
declare for an emergency law to
enforce the dry amendment and
for'the proper enforcement OF the
law when it is on the statute
books will find himself in accord
with the drys and citizens gem
orally on this issue. If both will
take such position we'll and
good. If both refuse, then the
guild for the dry voters will be
the personal record of the two
candidates. The League expects
to inform its constituency what
each candidate has to say on this
question.

oners

As to the question of intelligence
and education, their qualifications for
suffrage place the women of New
Jersey very high; much greater per-
ccntage of females than of males are
graduated from our high schools and
academies, and great preponderancc
of teachers arc women, as is shown
by the following figures: Males,
1872; Females, Hop.
Men predominant in saloons and
prisons, women in churches, chart
ties, schools and lectures.
New Jersey needs in her politics
the influence of these American wo-
men of high morality and intellectual
ity, to help in cleaning out the Tester
ing pools of political corruption that
are now, and have been for many
years the disgrace of the common
wealth.

LID TO GO ON
Prohibition Officials to Make New
- - York City Arid go


York City Arid
In New York illicit sellers of liquor
are wondering what is going to
happen next. Chief Prohibition Off
Ger Shevlin, returning from con-
ference in Washington with National
Prohibition officials, announced that
the lid would be clamped down on
the metropolis of the country tighter
than ever before. Chief Shevlin says
he intends to make it more difficult
TO withdraw whisky from bond.
Evidently the Washington confer
ence evolved plan to prevent so
much liquor from being stolen from
bonded warehouses. Shevlin asserts
that whisky now selling for so and
Is cents a drink in New York will
soon become so scarce that the rate
will go up to $3.50 per drink, and that
the advance will come soon. At pres
ent prices scarcely any man can at
ford to drink whisky, and even this
small number will have to go with
out their booze when it becomes
more expensive.

WANT TO BE KICKED AGAIN

Although the United States SUI
prem Court in June told the brewers
that the Eighteenth Amendment was
legally submitted and ratified, and
that the Volstead enforcement law is
constitutional, the brewers have asked
the court TO tell it again. Through
their chief attorney, Elihu Root they
have asked for a re-hearing of the
case 1t would seem that when a fell
low is kicked out, he should take the
hint that he is not wanted, but these
brewers are asking to be kicked
again-and they will get it without a

COFFEE CONSUMPTION
SHOWS BIG INCREASE

Coffee imports for the fiscal year
1920 increased more than 3oS,000,000
pounds over the total for 1919, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
Department of Commerce. Between
July /, 1910, and July /, 1920, the
United States imported l,4l4,22S, l63
pounds OF coffee, compared with l.
0l6,02o,274 pounds in 1919. Prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic is thought by
some authorities to have brought
about part of this increase in coffee
consumption.
