A NEUTRAL SHOWING

There is little comfort for either
the vets or the drys in the Literary
Digest's nationwide poll, as so far
recorded. An overwhelming major
ity is seen against the old regime of
the open saloon, yet surprising
number of people would permit the
sale of light wines and beer. This
would be a dangerous concession
from the dry standpoint. since one
of the most pronounced benefits Of
prohibition would be in measure
lost-the protection of the rising
generation against the growth of a
liquor appetite. And if given an
inch the booze trade would be very
likely to take an ell and make the
eight" stuff as heavy as they could
and get by with it. Dispensers OF
the "cup that cheers" were never
distinguished for highly ethical
standards. The vote now stands
1876, 1884 for strict enforcement, 145,-
727 for light wines and beer and
76,039 for repeal. 1t is significant
that in Kansas, where prohibition
has ceased to be an experiment and
its beneficial results are plainly ap-
parent, the dry forces have a long
lead. Kansas votes 5677 for strict
enforcement, 28O8 for light wines
and beer anr 1894 for repeal. Such
would be the sentiment of the ma
tion, we believe, after the prohibi-
tion law were given a few more
years of trial.

for that amount will be turned over

be made out in New York and signed
for the British treasury by the Nor

Serious Shortage
in Rail Transportation
Says Trade Editor

New York, Oct. 12.-Shortage of
railroad transportation is SO great
and serious that it is not only lin
iting, but will for a long time. con-
tinue to limit production and COM
merce of all kinds. Samuel 0. Dunn.
editor of the Railway Age. asserted
at the annual convention of associat-
ed business papers here today.
Almost every condition is favor
commerce and revival of prosper
ity." he declared.
The present transportation situa-
ton was aggravated, but not created
by the coal and railway shipments
strike. Mr.. Dunn said. The condi-
ton is due mainly, he added, to Il
great industrial revival and COM
mercial activity and TO a long de-
cline in the expansion Of railroads.
"Production and commerce are
trying to increase as much as they
did after the panics of 1898 and 1907.
and after the depression of 1914 and
1915" he said. But the capacity of
the railroads Has not increased with
in recent years as it formerly did.
This is the principal reason why. at
the very beginning of business re-
vival, the country is confronted with
a shortage Of transportation that is
preventing the speeding up of pro-
duction In the mines, the mills and
factories"
