Siuce no man defends the open aaloon,
and all admit the evils resulting from it
and its partner in iniquity, the speak
easy, which gets its supply of whisky or
beer from one of three sources the man
uacturer, his agent or the saloon why
should any sane man allow the pesti
lence its sway over the state when by
so easy a means as the ballot box it can
be effectually banished from the com

and the time to wield it is next election
day.

Next Draft Contingent Will Include
Only Whitas.

from the next Increment, and that
their order numbers were to be filled
by white men, save in cases of boards
where this Is physically impossible. It
Is explained that t'ne only changes
that will result will be to hasten the
day of entraining for many white men
who otherwise would have had to re
port later. Aetual quotas of each dis
trict's selected men r.ra not affected.

Governors, City Officials, Newspapers,
Business Men and Labor Leaders
Unite In Declaring That With Sa
loons Gone There Is Decided Im
provement In Moral and Material
Conditions Former Wets Admit
They Were Wrong and Have
Changed Their Minds,
Columbus The Ohio Dry Feder
ation, having in charge the campaign
for state-wide Prohibition, has se
cured from officials, newspapers, and
commercial bodies in states now dry,
evidence showing conclusively that
Prohibition helps business and labor,
promotes public morals, and decreas
es crime and drunkenness. The tes
timony is most direct and convincing
and is expected to aid materially in
creating sentiment in Ohio favorable
to the adoption of the dry amend
ment at the November election. Here
are a few extracts from letters from
officials and newspapers in some of
the dry states:
WEST VIRGINIA.
Governor J. J. Cornwell: "The state
has been greatly benefited by state
wide Prohibition. Crime has largely
decreased. Pauperism is less. Labor
has profited. Savings accounts have
materially increased. Health and
general welfare of the people have
improved and business has been ben
efited. Were the question again sub
mitted to a vote, it would receive a
much larger majority than the ma
jority given when Prohibition was
adopted."
Charleston Leader: "Business is bet
ter. Labor is satisfied with the new
condition, and labor unions and their
officers have given public endorse
ment to Prohibition."

in any degree whatever.

WILL REGULATE
PACKING INDUSTRY
licensing System to Be Pot Into
Operation By Government.
Washington, Sept 13. Government
regulation of the meat packing Indus
try will be the next move of the food
administration. A voluntary offer of
representatives of the packers to put
their plants under a licensing system
made to Herbert Hoover, the food ad
ministrator, at a conference here, was
accepted, and a plan of control will
be drawn up shortly. "
The packers, numbering about a
score, came to Washington to take up
with Mr. Hoover the threatened meat
shortaKe and the subject of risins
prices. They are of the opinion that
prices can be brought down little un
less a determined effort Is made to In
crease the production of live stock.
The great export demand, they be
lieve, will maintain prices at 'fllgh
level until long after the war has
ended.
A licensing system for packing
houses was provided in the food con
trol bill. Putting it into operation,
food administration officials believe.
will go far towards eliminating board
ing and speculation and stabilizing
prices. The packers will confer soon
with cattle growers to discuss the
food administration's plan for re
moving herds from the west to better
feeding districts in the east and south.
Increased production of live stock Is
a military necessity, Carl Vroomau,
assistant secretary of agriculture, de
clared in a statement after Che pack
ers' meeting ended.
