FRIDAY, MARCH J, 1817 SPRINGFIELD SPRING STYLE SHOW NEXT WEEK In this issue will be found the an­ nouncement of the Springfield Spring Style Show to be bold In Memorial Hall each evening of March 8, 7,8 and 8th, There will be living models allowing ail ttm latest in wearing apparel lor men, women and children. There will be music and dancing each evening, Springfield merchants are making special arrangement* for this open Ing and Chamber el Commerce ex­ tends a special invitation to all to be present, THEIR EFFORTS ARE USELESS, : nearly two years a de- gnt haa been waged by the The Ohio Board o f Moving Picturfi Censors has granted the “ Birth o f a Nation” the right to exhibit in this state. For termined fi l owners to be recognized as every other state in the Union has permit­ ted the showing o f this picture, Governor Willis made political cap­ ital- out o f the'Situation to draw the negro vote, claiming the picture brought about race conditions that should not be exhibited,. No one that we"“know of, unless it was the negro voters, ever gave the Governor credit with being serious in his position. The question figured ii\ the past cam­ paign and as the then Governor was defeated, it might be said that his position had not been endorsed. Governor Cox has permitted the-ex­ hibition o f the picture and Ohio . stands, in line with all other states. We notice now that certain colored politicians in this county as well as Montgomery and Clark, are circulat­ ing petitions protesting against the picture. The action o f the state board as final and the colored brethren that want to keep up political agitation on this.question are wasting their time. Spring Opening Week Will Be Splendid Fashion Event in Dayton The annual Spring Style Shew will open oh March 13 and continue the remainder o f that w eek To those who have been in the habit o f coming to the Dayton fashion shows, mere announcement o f the *time would possibly suffice, •They know how wonder­ fully interesting these events are and wouldn’ t think rmbieH if laytwi Retail Trad* Bureau o f missing .one.

Prohibition went into effect January 1 , 1916, and Iasi November all. three states voted os proposals initiated by the liquor in­ terests. in attempting to' make these states wet/ If Prohibition is .disas­ trous to a state, these states would have voted themselves back into l!,i wet column. ■ - Oregon gave a'-majority for Pro 5 j;- hition in 1914of 36,480. The brewers' proposal submitted to the Voters at last November’s election permitted the manufacture of 4 per cent mall beverages by horne breweries and their distribution Under the same reg­ ulations as now control -importations from the outside. This wet proposal was defeated by a majority o f 54,626 At the samei election the, voters adopt­ ed the bone-dry measure to prohibit the importation. Of intoxicating liq­ uors by a majority pf 5,261. The wets carried the city o f Port­ land in 1914 by 1,214. Last Novem­ ber Portland gave a majority o f 1,663 against, the brewers’ proposal, or a net change o f 2,877. The bone-dry measure carried all but six counties in tho stSte. In 1914 the state o f Washington voted dry by a majority o f 18,632. Last year the wets initiated two measures,' the one known as the brew ery bill, and the other as the hotel oi general liquor bill. The brewery bill was defeated by 124,846 majority and the general Ikjuor bill by 189,213 ma­ jority. In. 1914 the city o f Seattle gave a wet majority o f 14,600 and in November o f last year gave a dry majority against the brewery bill oi 18,400, and against the general liq­ uor bill o f 43,200. The city o f Spo­ kane gave a wet majority o f 900 -in 1914 and a dry majority in 1916 against the brewory bill o f 14,200 and against the general liquor bill pi 23,600, The’ city o f Tacoma in 1914 gave a wet majority o f 2300 and in 1916 gave a dry majority against the brewery bill o f 8600 and against the general liquor bill o f 14,800. The liquor people, especially ir Seattle,^ made a most determined ef­ fort to break down the Prohibition law, but industrial, moral and eco­ nomic benefits o f Prohibition through­ out the state were so apparent as to account fo r the Hhpvy majority against both-bills. In 1914 Colorado voted dry by a majority o f 11,572. Last Novembet *he state defeated the beer amend­ ment by a majority o f 85,789. Denvci voted wet by 8500 majority in 1914 and voted dry in 1916 by a majority o f 11,000. These figures arc conclus­ ive answers to the claims o f the liq­ uor press that Prohibition has ruined Colorado. * PUBLIC SALE. WALL PAPER New spring stock is in snd ready for you.
