j I REPEAL OF DRY
:i LAW AIMED AT
► >
' SEATTLE MAN FILES PROPOSED
ENACTMENT AT OLYMPIA.
OLYMPIA. May 15 — Beit L
Sweeza, sec re tan- and treasurer of
’ the Pioneer Printing Company of
1 Seattle, yesterday filed an initiative
■ bill with the secretary of state pro
viding for the repeal of the state
; dry law. The proposed enactment
j! is the sh<\test in words that has
ever been initiated- It contajps 29
words and is as follows:
! “Be It Enacted by the People of the
State of Washington:
“Section 1. That Chapter 2 of tiie
i laws of the state of Washington for
j the year 1915 is hereby repealed ”;
\
The measure goes to the attorney
general for him to prepare a title.
This he must do Within 10 days,
and then 10 days more is allowed
• for the proponents to appeal from j
' the attorney general’s ruling as to
l what the bill shall be called Blank
petitions will then be issued to the
; proponents and in order for the
’ proposed enactment to go on the 1
! ballot in November these petitions
must be returned with approximate
ly 32.000 signatures attached not
later than July 7.
Mr- Swezea left a written state
ment with Olympia newspapers ar
guing for the enactment of his
measure and thereby the repeal of
the dry law. The statement says
that under the dry law the sale of
liquors has been transferred from
( saloons to drug stores: that the peo
ple are abandoning the use of the
| milder beverages to become “whis
key bottle suckers;” that many men
have been thrown ouj of employ
ment, and that there has been great
loss of property due to the prohi
bition enactment
Mr- Swezea says he is acting sole
ly on his own initiative.

HE MUSHES 600 MILES
TO ENLIST WITH ALLIES
VICTORIA, B. C, May 13—Walk
ing more than 600 miles on snow
shoes in the dead of winter, and
then traveling all the way from Yu
kon to Vancouver to do his “bit”
for king and country. Wm. Forbes
has arrived here and enlisted in the
Sixty-second Artillery Brigade sta
ii tioned at Victoria.
“Bill” Forbes, as he is known to
old-time “mushers” on the trail
in the Yukon country, was prospect
ing away to the north of Leigh
when, just a few months ago, he
learned that his country was at
war. He had been away from civ- >
ilization for more than a year.
Packing his food on his dog sled, he
started on his long "mush” to
Whitehorse- Obtaining passage to
Vancouver, he arrived here a few '
daVs ago. Learning that some of
his old “pals” were in the Sixty
second Artillery Battery, he went
to Victoria to join them there

WHEN BLACKSMITHS
ARE DENTISTS
Before dentistry had made much
progress, the blacksmith combined
his labors at the forge with opera
tions with the forceps
1 His "patients” would go to the
for?i a-.d submit to a rough-and
ready operation with the most suit
able blacksmith’ tools availahle
“Years ago the blacksmith’s forge
was the recognized dentistry, and
even now one often meets aged folk
ic out-of-the-way places who can re
call haviivg teeth extracted in the
village smithy,” says an English
'writer
“The idea may seem very quaint
today, although many people daily
submit themselves to tooth-pullers
who have even fewer qualifications
* than the blacksmith bad
“The law permits anybody to prac
tice dentistry in England, practically
the only limitation put upon them
being that they shall not call them
selves dentists
“The result is that many people
who have failed in other directions
feel they have a bent for dental sur
gery'- Thus there is a case on record
of a gentleman who had not thriven
remarkably well as a bookmaker's
clerk starting business as an unquali
fied dentist and doing well.
“Then again, recently a man Jiving
in a country district visiting a den
tal parlor in a neighboring town was
surprised to find that the ‘dentist'
was a former insurance agent who
had canvassed him a few weeks be
| fore”
The regular meeting of the Civic
Club occurs on Tuesday evening at
i the Council Chambers at 8 o'clock
All members who can afford the
time are requested to be present
as we now have the park site and
[ need plenty of help to get it ready
for use-—Sec. Beatrice P- Dicken

FACTS ABOUT
KANSAS'ON THl
WATER WAGON
BY HON. ROYAL E- CABELL,
FORMER 0. S. COMMISSIONER
OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
(NOTE—A series of articles will
appear under this head about the
all important question of liquor
'these articles are paid at the us
ual rate of five cents a line- Any
article on the question by either
party shall be subject to the same ■
condition and limitation-—Editor ).!
Editor Leslie’s—
Dear Sir:—Because I know that!
Leslie’s Weekly has a long-estab
lished reputation as a paper which j
opens its colums for the expression
of whatever is truthful and of edu- j
rational value on any topic of public
interest, I am submitting herewith.
an article setting forth the facts |
as to conditions in Kansas under:
prohibition, and in so doing 1 wish i
to challenge contradiction of any of j
my statements. What I have set!
forth is taken from thf official 'rec
ords of the government, and these
records are open for public inspect- !
ion. 1 yield place to no man as a \
believer in real temperance which j
means self-control and moderation j
in all things. The temperance men 1
must be temperate in thought, and
speech and action, and must have
no unkind feeling for those who ;
do not agree with him as to what
is best for mankind’s welfare- I
hold that nothing is gained for any
cause by misrepresentation, and I
do not think that either temper- j
ance or prohibition will be helped
by misleading reports as to con- I
ditions in Kansas under prohibition.
I know that what I have written
will surprise those who have been
reading reports current about Kan
sas. Especially surprising, for in- ,
stance, is the poor showing made
by Kansas in regard to insanity,
the claim having been made that
Kansas has so few patients in asy
lums for the insane, whereas the 1
fact is that many insane people of j
Kansas are confined, not in asylums |
for the insane, but in hospitals for j
them. I wish to challenge the Hon
YY illiani Allen White, of Emporia.
Kansas, an advocate of prohibition
and the recognized spokesman of
the cause in his state, to contro
vert the statements I have made
Yours,
R. E. CABELL,
