DECREASING HUMIDITY

Decreasing humidity, amounting
to nearly 10 per cent in the past two
weeks. is the outstanding feature in
the growth of The Digests special
poll Of 100000 women of the ma
ton, announces the last number Of
The Literary Digest. The present
tabulation shows 44.5 per cent in
favor Of the continuance Of the dry
laws and their strict enforcement.
1t is to be noted Furthermore that
the parts of the country so far not
well represented in the poll are
known to be strongly dry" in senti-
ment.
The Digest expresses the belief
that the west tabulation will show
further gains in the "dry" vote
among the woalcn. Even in the wet
ter portions Of the country. although
the Digest has undoubtedly endeav-
ored to secure a fair distribution of
the ballots, it is supposable that
many of the women, who have prof
tied most from the results Of the law.
who have enjoyed comforts from the
sobered wage earners Of the family.
comforts which they never knew
when the saloons were taking toll of
the earnings, have not been heard
from.
Whatever other result may come
from this poll we believe it will serve
to arouse the FRIENDS Of the law. The
wet" sentiment finds its encourag e.

What reason is there to believe that
congress can enact a wine and beer
law that the Supreme court will up
hold? Wine and beer are VIGOROUSLY
intoxicating, a fact within the per-
sonal knowledge of every member of
the court. Half the American people
can be made drunk in two hours on
wine and beer unmixed. while taken
in proper rotation nine-tcnths OF the
American people can be made dunk.
