Mr. Mason says that he will always Governors Of Six States. Presidents Of Railroads. Bankers And Heads Of Colleges Unite In Demand. Washington, D. C., April 23, 1917.— A growing demand for war prohibition is coming from wholly unexpected, in fluential businese sources. Governor Barria of Georgia after consulting with other governors, has sent out a call for a governors’ congress to meet in the I national capital on May 4th to consider effective state prohibition purely as a war measure. Telegrams urging national war pro hibition have been received at the capital from governors Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania, Aldrich of Nebraska, Catte of Florida, Alexander of Idaho, Capper of Kansas and Bilbo of Mis- . sissippi, while more than six hundred telegraphic demands have been received within the last week from such men as Howard Elliott, President of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road, F. A. Vanderlip, President of the National City Bank of New York, David Forgan, Chicago’s leading bank er, Joseph Boyer, President of the Bur roughs Adding Machine Company, j H. C. King, President of Oberlin Uni- I versity, F. L. McVeigh, President of the University of North Dakota, N. F. Hinnitt, President of the Washington and Jefferson College, Geo. F. Bo gard us, President of the University of Southern California, Simon Patten, economist, of Pennsylvania. Among a I big contingent of editors demanding ‘ prohibition are Van Valkenburg of the Philadelphia North American, Scher merhorn of the Detriot News. Butten- heim of the American City, and Holt of the New York Independent. Ont of a group of nearly fifty authors may be named Upton Sinclair, Booth Tarking ton, Ray Stannard Barker aad John Burroughs. When the Democratic caucus by a vote of 87 to 80 declared for national prohibition during the war, the world was dazed and amazed. There is no oc casion for it. It is the logic of events. The nation is confronted with an alarm ing food shortage, and we must feed not only ourselves but oar allies. Pro hibition will divert enough foodstuff from the waste of the liquor traffic into its legitimate use to give every one of the twelve million men in the arrniee of I our European allies a pound loaf of bread every day. The beet actuarial authority wag brought to Washington and asked what effect moderate drinking had upon life, and told in the cold calculation of science that 180 men die among moder ate drinkers for every 100 that die among abstainers. We need men. This presented a practical proposition. No sentiment. No moralizing. This is lan guage that the brusque business brain grasps. We need more men for farms, factories, and the ranks. Congressmen were told that there are some hundreds of thousands of men engaged in the manufacture and sale of liquor which, with the traffic prohibited for the war, would help the labor crisis. In addition to this it is said that the use of liquor decreases the efficiency of labor from 15 per cent to 30 per cent. Then the doctors came with the testi mony that the liquor traffic is largely responsible for those forms of contagion that are meet prevalent and most dis abling among soldiers. The demand for war prohibition comes from newly aroused business interests that are seek ing, in a practical way. to help adjust the nation to the strain and stress of the war.

STATE GRANGE POSTPONES SESSION From an industrial standpoint op portunity was never knocking so loudly at Oregon’s door as at present. The price of all farm produce is the highest on record. Steel shipbuilding has got a foothold and with the government proposing to build 1,000 wooden merchant ships, Oregon and the northwest can show what can be done here in this line of construction. This will help our timber industry which in turn will bring prosperity to every community. Hand in hand with this industrial and agricultural growth goes power and railroad development. Individuate and private business must co-operate with the government and the government, both state and national, must co-operate with private industry to bring about our fullest <ievelopment. Crucifying business to gain selfish po litical ends must stop and fair dealing on both sides will be the order of the day. A crisis like the present is a greet leveler ami brings hom^ to ail of us our depenpence on each other when ne cessity demands. Tlw IMd MOO Ptr Year
