pi mm mm Editorial Page of The San Bernardino Daily Sun wwiWiEaraft Just a Dry Landslide the fifth of the month, lour' states Ohio, Nevada Wyoming and Hondavoted out the inuor traffic, This makes 32 states which have adooted state-wide prohibition, In addition to these 32 states, five so-called wet states- Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, Massachusetts and Louisiana have ratified the national prohibition amendment, Thus, 37 states of the Union have either adopted statewide prohibition or have the national prohibition This leaves oniy 1 1 states that have neither adopted prohibition nor ratified the -amendment, These 11 states are Connecticut, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nqw Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. Of these 1 1 states at least two, California and Vermont have elected legislatures thatwill vote to ratify the national prohibition amendment, In addition to these two, reports from Missouri and New Jersey indicate that two states will also ratify, while Minnesota is reported to have elected a pro-ratification legislature, and came so near to adopting state-wide prohibition this year that it was for days reported in the prohibition columns. Returns from the other six states have not been received fit this office, so we are not prepared to say just how wobbly the wets are in the six states that remain to them. But inasmuch as the wets to defeat prohibition must block ratification' lii. at least 13 states, without further information from the six states, yet to be heard from, it is quite evident that Mr.

Hilliard Welch, the gentleman whom the California winemen sent to Washington to fight prohibition, was correct in his report to his clients when he said that the "most pessimistic among the liquor element believe that the Sheppard national prohibition amendment will have been ratified by the necessary 36 states by next February," while "the most optimistic believe that it will not be ratified until next May." The legislatures of all the states, with the exception -of those which have' already ratified, convene early in January. Indications are that the most pessimistic of liquor men are justified in their opinion that ratification by the necessary 36 states will have been accomplished by February. At any the drys are justified their cofttentlorr that ratification' by the necessary 36 states" is as certain as anything political can be certain. IT'S A MINIMUM RECORD the official vote of San Bernardino county, reported in THE SUN Sunday only 14,739 people went to the polls November 5, oiit of a registration of approximately 25,000, Whether it was because of illness or the war or lack of interest because the primary was so decisive, not many more than one-half the qualified voters of the county-cared to participate-in the No-Vvember'firjals. The reason is worth thinking about, When half the people lose their interest in politics, it's a danger signal.

If it was the influenza or the war, neither of these is likely to i v.t. -t ii CANT WE MAKE THEM AT HOME? DISPATCH from AiiiHterdum quotes the Khcinish.

And It adds: "The conclusion seems Inevitable to the "Gazette" that Germany must so curtail her cotton and copper imports from the' t'nited States that they do no exceed or only slightly exceed her own exports of fertilizers, dyes and chemiculs." litre is another Illustration cf the. fact that Germany is looking for-wurd towurd shipping Its potash, it dyes and its chemicals, at least in sufficient quantities thut they should equal Germany's Importations of cotton and copper from the fnited Htatts.
