Indianapolis, Feb. 18.— (United
News)—The Wright “bone dry" bill,
a sweeping, drastic prohibition
measure, which is expected to make
Indiana one f the dryest states in
the nation, has passed both houses
of the Indiana legislature and awaits
only the governor’s signature to be
come a law.
The measure is designated to make
conviction of liquor law violators
easier and to make sentences
heavier.

vocate in an editorial answers
question, “What becomes of
money that used to be used
booze?”
“Five years ago the prophets said
that in prohibition the hotel business
had received a mortal blow, Great1
hotels have been built in a thousand'
cities since then; the business is a
respectable rival of radio, the mov-i
ies and the automobile in its attrae-!
tiveness to capital seeking profita-
ble investment.
Facts such as these could be giv-
en in large variety and in endless
detail,
They help to answer the
question, ‘What becomes of the
money which used to be spent for
booze?’
“Pohibition, as everybody knows,
is here to setay. Sut it is the busi
ness of every decent citizen to see
that lawlessness isn’t.
In most'
communities the crystallizable senti-'
meat is strong, at any moment, to
put the bootlegger out of business.”

In these fine spring days, when ‘Old Sol’ begins the warming of the
earth in preparation of bringing forth the harvests of the fields, one’s am
bition is renewed—one’s pulse beats faster, and the appetite is a little
keener.
During the winter period, when time was not such potential value, you
no doubt gave the matter of a permanent summer trading place thought

A survey was recently conducted
by the Christian Science Monitor,
when the heads of organizations
representing 13,500,000 Americans,
were interviewd. It was reported;
then: “The results of this exten-j
sive inquiry are significant and en-
couraging.
Replies indicate that
instead of the threatened collapse
of the dry sentimeint, the prohibi-
tion forces were never stronger than
they are right now. Prohibition, it
seems from the Monitor survey, has
virtually nothing to fear, although
watchfulness on the part of those
whose special duty it is to support
and enforce the law is vitttally
necessary. The great body of sta
ble thought which has beein shown
to lie back of prohibition carries
with it the assurance that, given
a reasonable length of time and the
continued, active support of the
Christian people of the United
States, the opposition of the prohi
tion amendment will fade away into
complete insignificance.
Quality will never
be sacrificed to
