LAND OF SPHINX HAS
HOT LIQUOR QUESTION

Even old Egypt has its wet and dry
problem. The recent decision of the
government to remove all restrictions
on the sale of alcoholic liquors in
Egypt is the subject of no little crit
icism by many Arabic newspapers.
So much benefit has been experienced
since the traffic was restricted because
of the war that a large part of the
people not only want the regulations
retained but the Prohibition sentiment
is growing rapidly. One newspaper
declares that Viewed from the social
standpoint wine is thing that de-
molishes the structure and the prog
ress of mankind. We ask the gov
eminent to impose the strictest re-
strictions upon the use of drink"

KANSAS CITY CHALLENGES
ALL CITIES OF THE NATION
Believes She Has Record in Dry
Vote; Can Amy City of Her Size
Equal Her Record2

The drys of Kansas City, Mo, a
city of $4,000 population, believe
that their city has made record in
the vote for state bone dry enforce
ment law.
The city gave majority of 10000
in favor of this law, which majority
is almost 10 per cent of the population
of the city. A prominent dry worker
in that city has asked American Issue
if there is any city in the United
States of more than 100000 popula-
ton with better record in vote on
any kind of statewide Prohibition
law If there is Kansas City wants
to know it, and if there is not this
enthusiastic dry says Kansas City
claims the honor of casting the largest
dry vote of any city of her size in the
United States.
This is the third time Kansas City
has cast a majority for statewide
Prohibition law In 1916 the city
gave majority of 1,400 for statewide
Prohibition but the state went wet
In 1918 Kansas City gave majority
of 10 votes for statewide Prohibition
and again the state went wet. In
1920 the state dry law enforcement
measure carried by $1,000 majority
and Kansas City furnished almost
half of the majority.

On February 7, II Massachusetts
towns voted on the question, Shall
licenses for the sale of certain non
Intoxicating beverages be granted in
this town."
This question supplants the ques-
ton heretofore submitted, "Shall Ii
censes for the sale of Intoxicating liq-
uors be granted in this town."
The change of wording is due to the
fact that the voters at the November
election ratified the beer act passed
by the Legislature and later vetoed
by Governor Coolidge. After the
Governors veto, the Legislature re-
ferred the measure to the people and
it carried by the small majority of

Variety
GROG SALOONS MUST GO
Measure Provides System of

GRoG SALOONS MUST GO

A Victoria, B. C., dispatch carrying
date of February Il says that strin-
gent control of the liquor trade in
British Columbia is provided in bill
prepared by Premier Oliver to be in
troduced in the provincial Legislature
soon.
The Premier in outlining the meas
ure said it would abolish bars and
saloons, prohibit sales to minors, and
provide for the establishment of gov
eminent liquor stores in large cen
tiers which would be conducted at a
small profit.
Illicit buying will be made pun
ishablc offense with the municipalities
receiving so per cent bf all fines i'm
posed. The proposed bill would
place the liquor business under con-
troll of non-partsan board.
At plebiscite held last October on
the question of retaining form of
provincial Prohibition or substituting
a form OF government, control the
people voted for government control.
The Prohibition law was poorly ad-
ministercd and the people being dis
satisfied with the administration flew
from the evil they knew to one they
knew not Of They will now have an
opportunity to put government con-
troll to the test.

OOZE WITHDRAWALS
REACH BIG TOTAL

Last year liquor Withdrawals
totaled 3S,0O0,000 gallons. or
more than 100000 gallons a
month, according to Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue
Williams.
Federal Prohibition. Commits
sioner Kramer predicts that
Withdrawals will be reduced to
less than 100000 gallons
month in the United States
during 1921.
With the new regulations
promulgated recently Mr.. Kra-
mer believes the department
will be able to reduce with
drawals to bare medicinal pur-
poses.
He admits that a considerable
part of the 100000 gallons
withdrawn from bond each
month last year found its way
into the hands of bootleggers
and for this reason more strin-
gent regulations governing
Withdrawals have been put into
effect.

Mr.. Barker made other references
to "The trade" and Mr.. Redwood
promptly demanded a withdrawal.
The former also limited at brewery
firm. and was challenged to name it.
The rejoinder came, "Ah, you want to
have me before the magistrates for
libel"
Towards the close Mr., Barker re-
fused to Withdraw other remarks, and
eventually Mr.. Redwood said he
would follow him at all his meetings
and stick to him like glue.
The meeting broke up with de-
feated motion of thanks to the speaker
and prayer
The proceedings lasted nearly two
and a half hours.

"Jesus Christ made wine, blessed
wine and drank wine, and what was
good enough for Him is good enough
for me. This was one of the many
argument advanced by an opponen
at Prohibition meeting held in th'
Congregational Chapel, Westbury OF
Wednesday night. 1t is doubtful
whether such scenes have ever before
been witnessed in place of worship
as was the case on this occasion. A:
last year, the chief speaker was Mr.
Barker, of the Prohibition movement
and the fact that he was coming once
more into the district aroused the Ii
cense holders TO action. The meeting
was not extensively advertised, but the
fact, nevertheless, became known
among publicans, with the result thai

The Trouble Begins
Mr.. Barker had risen for the pur'
pose of commencing his address
when Mr.. Redwood asked whether al
opportunity would be given for asking
questions.
The chairman asked the questionei
to remember that they were in place
OF worship, whereupon SOMEONE
shouted out, what do you want tc
meet here for:" This was followed
by other CALCULATIONS addressed &c
Mr.. Barker, such as, Go to America

Mr.. J. Spratt: Whoever he is he

Mr.. Barker; But it is not smok-

From different parts OF the chapel
came the question, "Then why have
the meeting here?"
Mr.. Barker: Because the Lavertor
Institute was not available Voices
"Why not elsewhere?")
At this point the first serious alter
cation took place between Mr.. Barker
and Mr.. Redwood, the former charac-
terizing the latter as trade agitator.
In vehement spirit, Mr.. Redwood
resented the statement, but his re-
marks were drowned in a chorus OF
denunciation of the utterance of Mr.
Barker. There were cries Of "Chair,

Mr. Barker next got the hearing OF

Million a Day on Drink
Mr.. Barker, resuming his speech,
said the liquor question had many
sides There was its effect upon COM

order, and child life. Could they ex-
pect anything out OF nation which
was spending one million a day on
drink?
Mr.. Redwood: That is a false
statement (cries of Order" and "sit

untruel
Mr. Barker replied that it was a
fact that $50 millions were spent by
the British public in Intoxicating liq-

Mr.. Redwood: That's another half

tailed the amount spent last year on
meat, milk, bread etc, and was pro-

Mr.. Barker: He may have, but
what he said was that a nation could
not afford to spend 200 millions on
drink and expect to prosper (cheers
and "l'll bet he get his Scotch all
right!"). Money spent on drink was
worse than wasteful (crief of Non
