Unyeiling OF the Monument Il
Carroll County Soldier Dead.

A more appropriate time for the
unVelling of the memorial to the men
OF; Carroll county who paid the su-
preme sacrifice for their country in
the World War than Christmas eve
night could not have been selected
More than two thousand years ago at
this very time of the year, the bless
ed Christ came to give His life for the
redemption of the world. So these
brave sons of Carroll county crossed
the seas to give their lives if need be
for the safety and we'll being of their
country and fellow men.
The moon in its full orbed glory
shone in spIendor upon the scene
while dewy freshness filled the sill
ent crisp air and made the service
beautiful in it's simplicity, most i'm
pressive Taps were sounded by Chas.
Rainey, who served in the U. S. Mar
inc Corps in San Domingo. The large
American flag which draped the men,
crial tablet was reomved by ]. Smith
Billingslea, of the American Legion,
Eltinge Reifsnider, of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, and Eugene Walsh, o.
the Knights Of Columbus. DIR. Elder
dice, president of the Westminster
Theological Seminary, whose son is
a.. Veteran of Foreign Wars, made y
very brief but appropriate address and
closed with prayer which was follow
ed by the singing of America.
Carroll county's human toll in the
world war was 81. The names of these
honored men are on brass plates and
securely EMBEDDED in the heavy wood
en- tablet which has been painted
white to make it more durable an6

BUCKEYE CAPITAL
CLEANS UP ON CRIME
Prohibition Boosts Bank Clearings
$125,000,000 and Bank Resources
S11,o0o,000 in Six Months

Prohibition was responsible for a
big decrease in crime in Columbus,
Ohio, last year and cut an important
figure in the most prosperous twelvG
months in the history OF the capital
city, aid this too, with saloons closed
but seven of the twelve months.
The criminal division of the Munic-
ipal Court shows 3,277 fewer arrests
in 1919 than in the previous year and
1888 lever persons arraigned in court
during 1919 for various criminal Of
lenses. The total number of arrests
was 1888 as against 1900 in 1918.
Prohibition is the reason given for tn.
decrease.
In a business way the first dry year
in Columbus was record breaker.
The bank clearngs totalled $678, 145,-
600, gain of $123,000,000 over 1918.
The resources of Columbus banks ~
the close of the year were $S8 100000.
A yeaf ago they totalled 81 100000
Figures compiled by the city building
inspector show the valuation of new
buildings for which permits were is

MANUFACTURE AND SALE
WOOD ALCOHOL cRIMPED

Legislation subjecting the manu-
facture and sale OF wood alcohol to
the same restrictions as grain alcohol
will be recommended to Congress as
result of fatalities in the use of wood
alcohol as beverage.
Recommendation will be made by
the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., but the form of the proposed
legislation has not been decided def
initely. 1t is understood, however,
that officials have in mind the placing
of heavy tax on the manufacture
and sale of wood alcohol and the re-
curing of permits by all persons en-
gaging in the traffic. This would pro-
vide the government with a definite
record of the movement of wood al
cohol from manufacturer to consum-
er and would make possible immedi-
ate action by the authorities in case
of violation of the regulations.

The day is past when any nation
can live unto itself.
The United States can not be ut
terly Indifferent to the evil influences
that are working harm to the other
nations of the earth.
The Prohibition policy after a six
months trial, though imperfectly ad-
ministered, has brought manifold
blessings to this nation seen in the
great reduction of crime, improved
health of the people and greatly In
creased prosperity in our commercial
and industrial life. To make these
advantages count for all humanity it
must be extended worldwide. As
long as there is a spot on the face
OF the globe where John Barleycorn
has unrestricted privileges the prog

that extent.

ica's experiment" with Prohibition.
Already many of them are beginning
to see the benefits that are accruing
from the dry policy. Premier Nittl
of Italy just recently urged Italy TO
initiate the example OF the United
States and adopt the dry policy.
Many leading men and women of
England are beholding the marvel
GUS results of Prohibition here and
are coveting for their country these
same results. So it is with the lead
ers of dry movements in other coun-
tries, Scandinavia, Japan South Africa.

CARDINAL URGES UNFOLDING LAW

Cardinal Gibbons is quoted in the
press as saying:
All denominations now are
faced with the important mission
to denounce and discounterance
the Dolshevists and radicals whose
aim is to undermine the principles
of our Constitution and to substi-
tute anarchy for law. 1t te-
hooves us all as ministers of the
gospel to uphold the hands of
civil rulers so that legislation
which they enact may be carried
into execution. AS the civil au-
thorities hold over us the aegis
OF their protection in preaching
the gospel it is our duty to assist
them by investing their authority
with moral and religious sanction.
All loyal citizens will agree with the
Cardinal in his statement and it is to
be hoped that those who are in the
habit OF needing his advice will coun-
sci others to uphold the Constitution
and laws of the country. Cardinal
Gibbons was not in favor of the Pro.
hibition policy, but he has made i.
plain in the above statement that he
believes in the sanctity of the law and
now that the Prohibition policy is en-
bodied in the organic law of the ma
ton he urges strict obedience to the
Constitution. This is no time for any
individual to choose what law he shall
obey and respect.
