Yearly Report of Ohio Liquor Llcenae Commission Shows That Speak aslee and Bootleggers Are Moat Active Where Saoon Are Most Numerous Report Proves Failure of License as a Regulator of the Liquor Traffic. UoiumDua ine fourth annual re port of the State Liquor License Commission, covering the year ending June 80, is looked upon as good cam paign materia,! for the drys, as it shows mosfol the prosecutions and convictions of bootleggers and speak easy keepers took place where sa loon are the thickest. According to the report, there were 786 prosecutions and 659 convictions of unlicensed dealers throughout the state. Of these 559 convictions, 296, or more than one-half of the entire number, took place in the notoriously wet counties of Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas, Franklin, Montgomery, and Belmont. These counties are full of saloons but illicit sellers seem to be thicker than licensed places. Belmont had more prosecutions and convictions of bootleggers and speakeasy keepers than any other county. The river front towns in that county are full of saloons, but the lawless dealers do a land office busi ness. There were 81 convictions of unlicensed dealers in Cleveland, 57 in Columbus, 38 in Cincianati, 17 in Dayton, and 16 in Toledo. It should be remembered that these convictions were brought about by tate Liquor License inspectors and this number does not include the many prosecuted and convicted through local offices. Through the state inspectors, 180 licensed saloonkeepers were prosecut ed during the year, and 90 of them convicted. These men all had certifi cates of "good moral character," granted them by the state Liquor Li cense Commission. The State liquor license machinery required $206,000 to keep running last year which seems like a big sum to pay for a failure. The fact that law less dealers flourish in wet rather than in dry territory is convincing roof that the license system is a iailure and this proof is furnished by the State Liquor License Commis ion. BOND DELIVERY BEGINS SEPT, 26 Announcement Made By Secretary ol Treasury. the WILL REQUIRE SEVERAL WEEKS Federal Reserve Banks Will Dlstrl bute the Issue, Which Is Larger In the Number of Bonds Required Than First Reports Indicated Sec retary McAdoo Advises Holding of Interim Certificates. Washington, Sept 19. Delivery of liberty bouds to subscribers will begin Sept. 26, according to a statement Is sued by Secretary of Treasury Mc Adoo. The twelve federal reserve banks will distribute the Issue. Con sidering the probable retention by sub scribers of interim certificates, al ready Issued, officials estimate that the work of distribution will require several weeks. The huge issue la larger In the num ber of bonds required than first re ports, based on more than 4,000,000 In dividual subscriptions, Indicated. Tho number of coupon bonds, Secretary McAdoo announced. Is estimated by federal reserve banks as in excess of 8,700,000 pieces, of which more than 7,000,000 are of the $50 and $100 dd-nominations. In announcing the date for the com mencement of deliveries Secretary McAdoo repeated his suggestion thai holders of Interim certificates would find It to their advantage In many In stances to hold the certificates Instead of exchanging them for bonds until congress disposes of the bill author izing 4 per cent Interest rate on the next offering. "It is apparent," reads Secretary McAdoo's statement, "that If pending legislation should be enacted ana bonds should be Issued bearing inter est at a higher rate than 3 per cent per annum and exempt from the nor mal income tax. In view of the result ing privilege of conversion, the de mand for definite i per cent liberty bonds, particularly those of the small denominations, would be greatly re duced. It Is apparent, also, that mucb of the demand for bonds of small de nominations comes through employers and others, who have subscribed for bonds for their employes and custom ers under arrangements allowing the latter to make payment in Install ments over an extended period, and therefore the Immediate delivery of definite bonds Is not required. "Until June 15, 1918, or such later date as may be fixed by prior public announcement by the secretary of tha treasury, no charge will be made for the Issue of bonds of smaller denom inations in exchange for bonds of larger denominations; nor for the is sue of coupon bonds In exchange for registered bonds, all such charges be ing waived for the period indicated as an encouragement to the acceptance of bonds of larger denominations and of registered bonds, In the first In stance. No charge will be made for the transfer of registered bonds."

Not a few of these one time liberals are serving on dry campaign commit tees and are giving time and money to the cause. The economic phase of Prohibition is strongly appealing to employers, while never before has labor been so inclined to vote dry. This is due in a measure, no doubt, to evidence from dry states which shows that labor is benefited. Ohio drys intend to contest every foot of ground this fall. The work of organization is well advanced in every one of the 88 counties. Soon the guns will be brought into action and the last month of the campaign the 1 drive will be general and vigorous. While the drys realize that in an off year in politics it is difficult to rally voters to the polls, they are conduct ing their whole campaign with the view of getting dry votes in the bal lot box November 6. If they can do this, it is quite generally conceded, even by the wets, that the Prohibition amendment will be adopted. forks, 3 A hog houses, &c.

This city is making headway in its fight against tubercu losis. In 1915 there were 4,169 deaths due to this disease, but in 1916 the number had dropped to 3,736. Dr. John Dill Robertson, Chicage Health Commissioner, says this tri umph over tuberculosis is due to the city's purification of ita milk supply and to the closing of saloons on Sun day. Dr. Robertson argues that the closing of the saloons one day in the week gives men time to rest from their labors and prevents them from SDendinsr their time feeding tuber culosis with alcohol. Now the thinking people of Chi cago are asking if the closing of sa loons one day in the week results in such decrease in the number of deaths due to tuberculosis, why should the city hesitate to close these disease breeders seven days in the week.
