drinking, especially OF the native fer

there is much less drunkenness than
before. This is confirmed by Judge
Haythorne Reed of the Zanzibar High
Court, who tells me that there is much
less OF drink troubles than before.

Christian move in sight to combat the
evil. Nowhere in the world have
seen what passes for Christianity in
such .disrepute.
Drink has been no stranger to IAN
zibar for 1000 years at least. About
the year 90 A. d., an unknown writer
compiled a sort Of commercial direc-

"Periplus of the Erythraean Sea a
translation OF which was recently pub

gather this information referring to
Menouthias, the ancient name for
Zanzibar:
There are imported into these
markets the lances made at Muza
(Mocha) especially for this trade,
and hatchets and daggers and
avis, and various kinds of glass;
and at some places a little wine
and wheat, not for trade, but serve
for getting the good will of the

STATIONS INFLUENCE WITH
MEMBERS RATED TOO HIGH
Bitter Experience of One Baum
Show Influence Couldn't
Garry Him Through
MANY MEMBERS CLAIMED
William H. Stayton, Wet Organ
izer Sued by ]. L. Baum for
Sum of $4,000

The Baltimore Steamship Company
of which William II. Stayton, head of
the Association Against the Prohbi-
ton Amendment, is president has been
sued by Joseph L. Baum OF Philadel-
phia for $4,000 damages in the Cour,
of Common Pleas of Baltimore City.
Among the allegations set forth in
Baum's declaration is the statement
that Stayton declared that he is prom
inently connected with a certain or
ganization with a membership OF up
wards of 100000 citizens and that
his influence with the members OF this
large and prosperous organization was
such that the mere mention OF his name
in the solicitation of subscriptions for
the sale of the stock Of the defendant
corporation would insure the DISPOSE
ton of large amounts of the said stock.
Baum further declares that 10000
names, presumably members of the as
ISOLATION referred to by Stayton were
actually turned over to him as pros
poets.
The declaration filed by J. w. S.
Musgrave and John S. Hessey, attor-
neys of Baltimore City, on behalf of
the plaintiff sets forth that these
names were of practically no use to
Baum nasmuch as he was prohibited
from soliciting for the sale of stock in
Pennsylvania because of Pennsylya-
Mas blue sky law, but because of the
fattering offer held out to him and
the delivery of the names he fitted up
an office at his own expense in Phila-
delphia and Reading, Pa, involving
large expenditure of money for equip
ing, furnishing and advertising and
employing clerical assistants and sales
men, only to discover as set forth
above, that he was prevented from Of
fering for sale any OF the said stock in
the state because OF running counter
to the state law.
1t would seem that Stayton's pre-
tension that he is getting nothing out
of the Association Against the Prohi-
bition Amendment is not borne out by
the averments OF the petition filed by
Baum. A sucker list OF more than
twenty thousand names is 4 consider

"A LETTER TO The

"a Letter to the Evening Post" is
the name of a pamphlet published by
the Temperance Council OF the Chris
tian Churches OF England and Wales

S. W., |, p. II, limo, price Adj. The
brochure is in the form of dialogue.
The scene is laid i'll free working
mans" home. Dramatis personnae,
Jim Cartwright. the husband; Mary,
his wife; and Rob, their son.
Cartwright essays to write letter
u the Evening Post in opposition to
local option. In the midst of discus
sion between husband and wife as to
the contents OF the letter, Joe Williams,
an acquaintance, carrying a petition
for the location of public house
next door to the Cartwrights, drops
in. The thought of saloon next door
arouscs the Cartwrights. They do not
want such a joint so close to their
domicile. They see for the first time
they have no right to petition for a
saloon next door to anyone's home.
Animated conversation follows. The
result, petition goes unsigned and the
letter to the Post goes into the fire.
Words, almost angry, ensue. Joe re-
tires not any too gracefully.
The following morning bright and
early Cartwright is off to the parsons
where a remonstrance to the location
of the public house is prepared which
Cartwright circulates The dialogue
form of the brochure furnishes fine
medium for the presentation OF the
prohibition argument.

Weekly observes that this probably
never happened before in the worlds
history, but adds that in twenty years
it may be as common as the arrest OF
a drunken auto driver in 1923.
The prophecy might be fulfilled were
it not for the fact that this country
is now under a prohibition policy that
is becoming more and more successful.
1t is appalling to contemplate the
slaughter on our highways that would
undoubtedly be recorded as a result of
careless driving by drunken autoists
if il were not for the prohibition law.
The record is bad enough as it is. 1t
is indeed fortunate that the prohibition
policy was adopted At the time auto
mobile production increased. In fact,
the automobile and perhaps the air
plane are two good reasons why the
prohibition law should never be re-
pealed.

tor of the Zanzibar Voice about this.
He said that it was not necessary to
be baptized but that one could get
liquor by merely going to the home
of "a Chris tian" friend and would
there be given drink.
Much TO my chagrin, | learned from
various sources that, as to drink, the
population was, divided between Chris

who did not drink. In the popular
mind, the boozer is always a Chris

able situation
Resentment
While prohibition only extends in
fact to those who for the most part
do not drink anyhow, yet the limiting
of prohibition to what is practically
religious lines is the cause of a lot of
resentment The Mos.ems and Hin
dus are almost to the last man favor
able to prohibition, yet they resent the
law being drafted along the existing
lines, when, as they say, it is the
Christians themselves who need the
law mos Thetwo newspapers OF
the country, the Voice and the "Sama-
char" are both edited by Hindus and
both papers are printed in English,
Hindi and Arabic Both are advo-
Gates OF the dry law but both natur-
ally resent the law being enacted along
racial lines, the prohibition being ex-
tended only to those who least need
the protection OF the dry law.
The law appears to be quite we'll en-
forced, but there is some dispute about
that. Some will say that there is
more drunkenness than ever, while
such men as Mr. Yusufali, member of
the Council, wealthy Arab planter,
tells me different story. He insists

Ninety per cent OF all the cloves in
the world are produced on the island
of Zanzibar which, with neighboring
islands and slice off the mainland Of
the east coast of Africa, constitutes
the "Protectorate of Zanzibar" nom-
inally an independent state ruled by

of Zanzibar and, in 1900 America
alone took 100000 pounds of Zanzi-
bar cloves That was before prohi-
btion. On the two islands of Zanzi-
bar and Pemba, there are about 10000
acres planted to bearing Glove trees, a
curious sort OF thing half tree and
half bush.
The Glove is the unexpanded flower
on great cement floors in the open air,
two crops year. 1t requires about
5,500,000 Glove trees to properly dis
g,ise the fetid breath Of the drinkers
of the world. The Glove growers de-
pend quite largely upon the booze
drinkers of the world for their liveli-
hood. If the world should "go dry"
the Glove industry would not prosper
as it now does.
Prohibition for the Natives
And in the teeth of this situation,
Zanzibar is under prohibition, of a
very curious sort, and yet it is pro-
hibtion as far as it goes. Section 2
of the dry decree which went into eff
feet March |, 1922, provides that "the
distribution, sale or possession of liq-
uor to or by any person other than
those mentioned in the next following
subsection is hereby prohibited"
The exempted persons mentioned in

does not annlv are "Euroneans. Amer
