STRANGLE HOLD OF TRAFFIC
Liquor Advertisements Again to Appear
in Postofices in England and on
Stamp Books

The postmaster general of England has
decided that advertisements OF alcoholic
beverages are to be accepted and displayed
in postoffices and telephone cabinets. The
London Daily Chronicle of May p, j
announcing this ruling, says:
Hitherto this class of advertisement
had been prohibited by the postofioe.
This had caused resentment among
the license trade, who had constantly
protested against this discrimination
to their prejudice and who argued
that thes ale of alcoholic beverages
was as lawful as the sale of soft
drinks Apart from which alcohol
was heavily taxed and produced much
reveue for the exchequer.
This action by the postmaster general
In yielding to the demands of the licensed
liquor traffic shows the tremendous hold
the traffic has on the government. And
yet there is much talk in Great Britain 10
the effect that the saloons, or pubs as
they are known there, have never hTi the
political dominance that had the saloons
in the United States. 1t is also significant
that a few weeks ago the government &C
cepted liquor advertisements to be printed
on little books of stamps. A strong pro-
test was made by temperance people, but
without effect.

However, we should be too sanguine

met Professor Shoemaker few days ago
and he was not very optimistic. He had
the impression that the same small ma
jority against local option which had al
ready blocked the way to reform in the
first Chamber would be found again.
However, as some the representatives of
the liquor traffic in the Dutch parliament
have made interpretations criticising the
local option proposals OF the government,
Mr.. Shoemaker will have the opportunity
of sounding the temper OF the House.
Let us hope it will be seen that after all
a majority may be obtained. For though
it may appear that local option restricted
to hard liquors is a very slight reform it
is important as marking the principle that
the people have the right to decide
whether they will have the liquor traffic

others which favored local option and

At the recent meeting of the genera

Church of the United States OF America
held at Sharon, Pa, the committee on re
form said:
The church can win by organized
effort under the leadership OF the
Anti-Saloon League and other afili-

fore, we urge our pastors and our
people to give hearty and generous
support to the Anti-Saloon League in
order that successful prohibition may
be decisively and quickly established
in the United States.

the enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment and national prohibition.

ii introduced into the new licensing blu
proposals for local option. But these
proposals were of such nature as to rem
der the application almost impossible and
the temperance party demanding really
workable local option the question has
been repeatedly discussed in the commit
tees of the German parliament. 1t seems
that both parties, friends and adversaries
OF local option, muster about the same
number of votes in the Rechstag.
Million Germans Petition for Local
Option
In order to show that the people at
large are for the reform the temperance
societies, with their local option commit
tee at the head, have organized a very
active propaganda in favor of the meas
ure, getting up straw votes (but OF
more serious character than those re-
Gently carried out by the American news
papers) which gave surprising favorable
results. They decided to do more, TO
launch monster petition for local option.
The signatures began to be collected on
the first OF April and it is not yet posi-
bic to give final results. By the middle
of April about million signatures had
already been obtained and it was hoped
that figure of three or four millions
would be reached. Such manifestation
Of public interest for local option would
certainly influence Parliament in its IA
vor.
disappearing United States Dry Law
The agitation for local option has
brought American prohibition again very
much into notice in Germany. The adj
versaries of local option declare that it is
only the first step towards full prohibition
and in order to show that full prohibition
would be disaster they paint in very
dark colors the results of this measure
in America. The hearings before the
American Senate Committee were very
welcome to these people. All the decla
ratons against prohibition, often in a dis
torted version, were published in the Ger
man newspapers while, on the other hand,
not a sentence of the favorable declara-
tons ever appeared. But the propaganda
of the German temperance reformers is
so we'll organized that they don't despair
of convincing the fair-minded part of the
population that what they hear of Amer
lean prohibition is a mere caricature and
by no means true representation of the
facts.

BY Robert Hercod, European

Europe, where the education of the popu-
lation against the liquor traffic is just be-
ginning, at least in the center and south
of Europe to obtain local option rights
means a great victory and it is hoped
that two countries, Holland and Ger
many are now nearing this goal.
A little before the outbreak of the
World War league for local option was
constituted in Holland on the initiative of
one of the foremost leaders of the Prot
estant temperance societies, Pastor Van
'Krevelen. One of the first moves of the
new society was to collect signatures for
petition addressed to the Queen of Ho1-
land asking for local option powers at
least with regard to hard liquors. The
petition had gathered about 100000 sig
natures, a great success for a small coun-
try. But the war broke out and Ho1-
land had other and more urgent matters
to attend to, though she had as prime
minister at that time Mr.. Rugs de Beer
enbrouck, the president of the Catholic
temperance associations of Holland.

was thought that the time had come for

General, Mr.. Rutgers, presented to the
tied to hard liquors. Ut was not thought
possible to ask for more just then, full
revision of the licensing laws not being
considered desirable as it would have de-
layed the whole matter for years.
In the Second Chamber Mr. Rutgers
proposal had a small majority but it was
rejected by the First Chamber. Two
years later Mr.. Rutgers renewed his pro-
posal and this time it obtained more
substantial majority in the Second Cham
Der. But it was again rejected by the
First Chamber though with majority of
five votes only. 1t was said that some
members of the Chamber who were
friendly to local option resented the haste
with which the local option people had
returned to the charge, considering that
it showed a lack of the respect that the
Chamber was entitled to expect from
them. The government of Mr.. Rugs de
Beerenbrouck then resigned and among
the new ministers was Mr.. Rutgers, the
father of the local option proposals. But
he remained in Office only few months
and could do nothing towards the real
ization of his wishes in this matter

The new Dutch government, consti-
