Columbus, Ohio.—-There has been, considerable discussion In Ohio, news* ptMYa aa to whether the Anti-Saloon league would or would nbt endorse thl* or that political party Jn this year's campaign, That the league will remain strictly .non-partisan is tho gist of a statement which is'made public by league officials, who give these reasons: "When the league was organized we asked the churches for their co-oper­ ation and were told that the church could not be responsible for any or­ ganization which was partisan. The league's mission is to encourage good men In every party to take an active Part in politics and to become candi­ dates for officer"The league appealed to the churches to elect the trustees Who outline the policies of the league and annually select- its officers. Prac­ tically all the denominations of Ohio elect annually their members to the board of trustees and these trustees outline the plans of the1 leagde and elect it* officers. "An executive Committee elected by the hoard of trustees has an active control of the league during the in terlm between the meetings' of the trustees. The church is not organ­ ized along partisan lines. Men of all parties belong to every church. To try to tie up the tetoperance forces to, any one party by a church endorse-, ment would be fatal. The church fights for principles. ’ The league in Ohio this year wiiL he fighting for Progressives in -some counties, Demo­ crats in others and Republicans In others. The league will make its ap­ peal to every voter In Ohio regardless of his party affiliation tp vote for state prohibition and against tho brewers* home rule amendment." WETSAREPUZLED OVERCOMPARISONS Hudson Maxim’s Figures Help Dry Cause. , Cincinnati, Ohio,—Wets and drys here are discussing an article. In a local paper by Hudson Maxim, in­ ventor of the Maxim gun, who as a, war expert, says the war now on in' Europe' is costing the countries in­ volved $30,000,000 a day, or at the rate of $10,000,000,000 a year. Maxim shows that the combined Wealth of the warring nations is $307,000,000,- 000, and that the cost of the war tor a year is a little less than three per cent of this combined wealth, In making a comparison Maxim says the wealth of the United States is $130,000,000,000, that we. spend $2,000,000,000 r year for liquor, which is more than 1J,£ per cent of our total wealth and more than half Us much as the heat authorities say WJ»e Eu­ ropean war is. costing the countries engaged in It. Maxim asserts the Eu­ ropean war is not as serious as our war with alcohol, as our war Is not so quickly ended. With the campaign on in -Ohio for state-wide prohibition, dry advocates are applying Maxim’s deductions to this state. State Auditor Donehay says tbe new grand duplicate of Ohio wilt approximate $7,700,000,000. If the state spend* the yearly average of the country'* 1 y% percent for alco­ holic beverages, her annual drink bill IS $110,500,000, When to this is added the cost of caring for the product of the saloons, the. total coat reaches ap­ palling figures. Even in this,wet city, liquor advo­ cates afe unable to break down tbe arguments which are contained in these figures. Action.of Central Labor Body in Pasa­ dena Favorably Received by Mem* bar* of Organized Labor In Ohio-— Submit* Argument* Which Cannot Be Refuted. , , Cleveland, Ohio,—Organized labor circle* are becoming greatly interest­ ed In Ohio's campaign for prohibition, Following the. action of the executive committee of the state -federation of labor ift declaring against the prohi­ bition amendment and in favor of tho brewer*' proposal, which action is freely criticized by many workers,- come* the publication of the Pasa­ dena (California) board of labor, tho central labor body of that city. Pasadena 1* dry and a campaign is on in the state for state-wide prohibi­ tion. In a statement sent out-by the PaSadena board,of labor It says the working class of that city is consum- tag a negligible amqunt ofjlquor, and the mbney oTthe wage earners la used in the homeB, on articles of necessity for the family.,. The statement Bays that "Our wives and children are better fed, clothed1and educated and in ail respects our men. are -better sons, father*, and citizens," The statement goes on to say that under prohibition the workmen now engaged in making beer and whiskey , will be better employed in. the manu­ facture of the many household neces­ sities and in the building of better homes from which the wives and chil­ dren of labor are now dependent and to which they are entitled. This labor party also asserts that there is no other industry which re­ turns so little to labor as. the liquor industry. The profits are enormous hut the workers receive a very small portion of the retail price. The im­ mense profits go to the owners of tho -breweries and distilleries and the saloonkeepers; The statement concludes with ths assertion that the only ones.benefltted by tho liquor habit are the producers and -dealers and' that under prohibi­ tion, that part of the wages' of the working class formerly spent , for liquor .will be spent for more food, Clothing, furniture, the manufacture of which will give them -more and better Jobs, The pronouncement of this labor party is generally commented on with favor and the thinking working man declares its conclusions are sound and that its arguments cannot he refuted. W ILL WORK FOR PROHIBITION Columbus, Ohio.—Tho action of the Ohio State Grange In endorsing pro­ hibition and opposing the- brewers' home rule amendment means that each of the CS0 subordinate granges with their members, aggregating thousands, wftl actively enter the fight. The state ,range nrged each subordinate grant e to bold meetings in which members and other citizens will discuss the amendments and will be instructed how to vote. The farmer* are largely dry, and this action of the grange is meeting with hearty approval. "Ohio,!* Going Dry" pennants are aow making their appearance on au­ tomobiles add buggies all over Ohio, The dry* expect to plaster posters all over Ohio, educating the voters how to mark their ballot* on the two liquor amendment*.
