DRYING UP
The Eudden flop of Utah into the
list of no-saloon states adds a bit to
the daze we have been under since
January 1. It should be said that the
Utah act Is not yet complete. There
remains to settle slight differences be
tween the house and the senate bills,
and to receivo the governor's ap
proval. But there seems to be so
question that these details will be
safely attended to. The majority in
both legislative branches is over
whelming, indicating a settled public
opinion on the question.
This will add five to fourteen pro
hibition states with which the year
began Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa,
Idaho, Utah, making a total of nine
teen. But of the fourteen states that
had adopted a no-saloon policy before
the beginning of this year, five, Vir
ginia, Washington, Oregon, Arizona,
and Colorado, had gone to prohibition
during the preceding year. That is to
say, ten of the nineteen states that
have now gone "dry" have joined the
list in the last twelve months. An
eleventh. West Virginia, put its no
saloon policy into effect only last
year. The number of prohibition
states has thus more than doubled
within a year.
Of all. the mountain ftates, only Cali
fornia, New Mexico, Montana. Ne
vada and Wyoming cow tolerate sa
loons. As four of the five are now
woman suffrage states, it is safe to
say that most of them will be in the
"dry" belt within two or three years.
One or two of them may take the
step before the present year is out.
The far west and the old south are
now committed definitely and prob
ably irrevocably to the prohibition
policy. The dry states now stand in
geographical masses and are no longer
subject to concentrated attack from
without upon their liqnor policy. The
steady increment of adjoining terri
tory to these vast "dry" belts is now
to be looked for. South Dakota, Ne
braska and Texas, a'l now nearly sur
rounded by dry land, wil doubtless
be prompt to join their neighbors.
Kentucky and South Carolina are not
likely to remain long out of harmony
with the rest of the solid south on this
point. Illinois, under the influence of
municipal suffrage for women, is rap
idly drying up and before long may

be cllmblnr into the bandwagon. In
diana has shown drying symptoms of
late. We are mindful that waves run
backwards as well as forwards. A
survey of history, joined with consid
eratlon of existing facts, leads strong
ly to the prospects, however, that al
most before we know it the liquor
traffic will be fighting for its life with
only a small but populous group of
heavily foreign states at its back.
State Journal.
THE FORUM
In the issue of February 25th of the
Daily Nebraskan, appeared an article
in favor of smoking at University
dances. The writer not only ex
pressed her own opinion in favor of it.
but also claims to voice the opinion
of "many other girls" in the Univer
sity.
If this is the opinion of "many other
girls" in the University as Miss E. S-,
is it not about time to consider the
matter seriously? Not from a per
sonal like or dislike of the smoke
itself, but from a standpoint of social
morals and standards of our Univer
sity dances.
In the first place, it certainly will
not be denied that smoking is incon
sistent with high morals, no matter
when or where indulged in. No real
gentleman would smoke at all and
least of all in the presence of his lady
friend if be had any respect for her.
In the second place, smoking is as
sociated with pool halls, cigar stores.
saloons, etc.; these places are con
sidered to have a low environment
Therefore, it is obvious that when
smoking is carried on at University
dances it gives a bad atmosphere to
the place, which resembles that of a
public dance hall. Moreover, people
who attend such University dances
cannot be considered to have the high
est standards. Let smoking be car
ried on where it belongs, but let it
be abandoned at the University
dances, where the highest class of so
ciety is supposed to be represented.
In discussing smoking at University
dances, Miss E. S. has gone so far as
to tell us that cigarettes are the best
and least harmful to smoke. We do
not, however, agree with her, because
investigation has proven that the real
danger of smoking does not lie alto
gether in the nicotine present in the
tobacco, but to a poisonous drug called
acrolein, which is formed by the com
bustion of the prepared paper and the
tobacco. When this drug gets into
the blood, by inhaling the smoke into
the lungs, a permanent degeneration
of the cells of the body is produced.
Better not smoke at all, but if habit
has you in her clutches, avoid above
all things smoking cigarettes.
The last part of your article, Miss
E. S., we could not quite understand.
How did you ever conceive the idea
to compare a beautiful, sleeveless,
low-necked, silk dancing costume with
an obnoxious cigarette? will you
kindly enlighten us as to the sig
nificance of your comparison.

from the entrance to the Chemistry
Laboratory. It contained the semes

return at the Daily Nebraskan office
and no questions asked.
The following statement seems ad
visable on account of the inquiries
which have been made concerning the
Vogue dances which were advertised
In the Nebraskan last Wednesday.
The University rule published in the
catalog Is:
All University functions. Including
athletic contests on home grounds and
socialgatherings of departmental
clubs, shall be held on Friday even
ings and Saturdays. This refers to
all social functions, including ban
quets, which are held or continue
after 8 p. m. The only general ex
ception which is made is that social
functions may be held the night be
fore a mid-week holiday.
The committee has not given per
mission for such parties as the Vogue
dances to be held on mid-week nights.
The managers of the orchestras and
cf the halls have been notified that no
University functions will be scheduled
in halls where University rules are
not respected. The committee has
been assured that mid-week dates will
be canceled.
