new LIQUOR CONTROL BILL
READY FOR HOUSE OF LORDS
Measures Principal Value Will
Afford Opportunity for
Discussion
BASED ON LOCAL OPTION
Citizens Given Right at Stated
Periods of Passing on
Liquor Sales

The Bishop of Oxford is promoting
in the House of Lords revised YER
sion of his liquor control bill This
measure will be brought before the
British Parliament when it re-
assemblies in mid November. Its
provisions while not satisfactory to
radical drys, will at least Oxford an
opportunity for the drink question to
be discussed in Parliament, says Lon
don dispatch in the Christian Science
a Monitor. 1t is measure based on
local option. 1t gives to the in
habitants of boroughs and counties the
right of deciding periodically whether
they are to have no change in the con-
duct of the liquor trde in their area, or
whether the trade is to be reorganized,
or whether all licenses are to be abol-
ished. Electors, by means of the alter
native vote, can vote preferentially in
favor of one choice and alternatively
in favor of a second one.
If an area votes for the reorganiza-
ton of the liquor trade central body,
called the board of management, takes
over the liquor trade in the area con-
cerned. Its functions are limited to
the production and distribution of in
toxicants in those areas which have
voted for reorganization, subject to
the supervision OF the justices and of
a central advisory committee ION
which temperance bodies and private
traders will be represented and of
,local advisory councils, consisting of
licensing justices and representatives
of public authorities.
In reorganization areas it will be
the duty of the local advisory councils
to notify the board of management as
to the number of public houses re-
quired in their areas. The board will
not take over hotels or clubs in re-
organized areas, but will supervise
them in SO far as the sale OF intoxi-
cants is concerned.
A central compensation fund is
created. Into this all profits from the
recognized areas will be paid by the
board of management. None OF the
compensation money required Will
come from the taxpayer, and there is
no actual or contingent liability on
public funds.
Where an area votes for reorganiza-
ton the owners of properties ac-
quired will be paid off as to capital
by means Of annuities, terniinable in
al maximum period Of IS years. Dur
ing this period, per cent interest
will be paid each year on such part
of the capital as has not then been
redeemed. Compensation for loss of
employment-depending on the nature
and length of such employment-will
be paid.

ALBERTA ELECTORS ADOPT
GOVERNMENT GROG CONTROL

Returns available at this writing
from the election in Alberta held on
November 5, indicate that prohibition
was defeated by about 10000. The
electors discarded prohibition in favor
of government control of the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor.
Fotf proposals were submitted: %
continuance OF the present prohibition
law; ~ permission of sale of beer in
licensed hotels and other premises; 90
to permit government sale of beer for
consumption in private residences; and
(4) which was chosen, to permit gov
eminent sale of all liquors.
A feature of the early returns was
noted that the first proposition calling
for absolute prohibition was second in
the number of votes received, only
comparative few voting for the two
beer measures. This was taken to in
dictate that the majority favoring pro-
hibition favored complete prohibition,
while those against it were against it
entirely. -Four provinces of the Do
minion are now under government
control of the liquor traffic, Quebec,
British Columbia, Manitoba and AL
berta.
What was the matter with Alberta?
In the first place, the so-called dry
provinces of Canada were not dry as
the United States knows prohibition.
The saloons were closed and the sale
of liquor prohibited but not the manu-
facture and expectation.
There is only one way to kill the liq-
uor traffic and that is to exterminate it
entirely. Another trouble was that the
drys were SO happy and contented af-
ter securing their partial prohibition
law that they went to sleep on the job
while the vets worked harder than ever
to bring about reaction.
The lesson of Alberta should not be
lost on the easy-going drys of this
country who are sleeping while nearly
half hundred wet organizations are
busy digging to undermine the dry
law.

NOT HOPELESS

New Jersey may have wet Gov
ernor, two wet United States Sena-
tors, as well as wet politicians galore
in both parties, but there is fighting
dry contingent in the state that plays
havoc with wet plans when that con-
tingent asserts itself. And it asserted
itself at the election last week when
the state selected members of the leg
islature.
Here is the situation in New Jersey.
!, Governor Silzer, wet, is Democrat.
United States Senator Edge, wet, is a
Republican, and United States Sena-
tor, Edwards, wet, is a Democrat.
Last year Edwards defeated Senator
Frelinghuysen, dry Republican.
Next year a successor to Senator
Edge is to be elected.
The Democratic convention this
year adopted wet platform. The Re-
publican convention adopted a dry
platform in spite of Senator Edge.
Then last week the voters elected
new legislature The wet and dry
question was the chief issue.
If the Democrats won, it meant the
repeal of the state enforcement law,
and it meant the denomination OF
Edge. 1t was a hard fight, but the
drys won. The enforcement law will
not be repealed and Senator Edge will
have the fight of his life to be renomi-
mated by his party.
1t looks like former Senator FIRE.
linghuysen will stage comeback.

WAYNE WHEELER FORECASTS
BRITISH RUM SHIP TREATY
Search Outside Twelve Mile
Limit Regarded as Hopeful
Aspect
ORGANIC LAW SUPREME
League Attorney Holds Treaty
Powers Do Not Include Alter
ing Organic Law

Until the complete provisions of
England's reply on search of rum
smuggling ships outside the three-mile
limit are known, it is impossible to say
whether it will be helpful to law en-
forcement," said Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League.
THE most hopeful indication from
the report is that search will not be
denied outside the twelve-mile limit
under certain conditions. This is inn
portant in view of Sir Brodrick Hart
wells plan to deliver liquor to rum
runners twenty miles from srore.
Il do not believe even a treaty pro-
vision to allow liquor to be trans
ported into our three-mile limit for
beverage use of foreign crews would
he legal. The Constitution, not the
Volstead act, prohibits such transport
tation for beverage use. The Supreme
Court has we'll said:
Some of the contentious ascribe a
technical meaning TO the words trans
portation' and importation We
think they are to be taken in their or
binary sense, for it better COMFORTS
with the object to be attained. In that
sense transportation comprehends any
real carrying about or from ono place
to another. 1t is not essential that the
carrying be for hire, or by one for an
other; nor that it be incidental to n
transfer of the possession of title
There is a division of opinion about
the legality of transportation of bever-
age liquor not for use within the three
mile limit. 1t is quite probable that
such a treaty provision would hold as
against the Nolstead act. Represen-
tatives of the shipping interests have,
however, expressed opposition to such
a provision because it gave to foreign
ships a privilege denied our own ships.
1t is pointed out that foreign ships I'M
der the cloak of liquor under seal have
abused the privilege fagrantly for over
two years and would do so again I'M
less new and stronger safeguards are
provided"

WHISKY STILL DESIRABLE
TO SOME FEW CHICAGOANS

Whisky valued at between $4,000
and 100000 was taken from the sec
ond floor of the Wakem & McLaugh-
lin liquor warehouse, Chicago, in the
early morning OF November a by nine
men who backed a motor truck to the
loading platform, transferred the
whisky by the elevator from the sec
ond floor, and then made their escape.
Two of the gang stood guard over the
.watchmen of the warehouse, forcing
him to make his rounds and pull his
alarm boxes while the others trans
ferred the liquor. 1t is said about
$4,000 worth of whisky was stolen
from the warehouse three months ago.

World Brothers Show Coming
To Bismarck July 2

The oldest known living elephant
in America is Jennie of
Mr.. Fred Buchanan, owner Of the
World Brothers circus. This old
elephant is as kind as a small kitten
and is harmless. Children often
lead Jennie around the show grounds
and are permitted to play with her.
Some afternoon, the keepers let the
little ones ride on old Jennie's back
This usually is done after the mat
inee. Jennie has travelled with
shows in this country for over sew
enty-five years and has been exhnb-
tied to more people than any other
living animal. Your father and
mother when they were small child
ren, undoubtedly fed this old animal
and there is no doubt Jennie was the
first elephant your parents ever saw.
How would it feel for you to feed
the elephant your grandfather fed
peanuts when he was little boy.
Ask any of the attendants for old
Jennie and she will be pointed out.
Jennie is showing her aye now
there is no telling how old she Is,
probably three or four hundred years
old, but she is still lively enough to
go from the cars to the show grounds
and keep up with the balance of the
herd. Every afternoon, unlike the
other elephants, she has to have a
nap. This usually takes place after
she has played with the children for
an hour. BY all means do not fail
to ask for old Jennie-she will like
you, and you will like her.

construct it. The present range con-
sisting of six targets, is wholly in
