Say Nationwide Prohibition
Becomes Effective After
Gradual 278-Year Campaign
Has Fallen Upon Country Gently Because of Well
Stocked Cellars and Knowledge of.Cuha's Wet-,;
ness, Declare Federal Internal Revenue Off icrals
'--History of War Against Kinglcohol Recited
At Many Jubilee Meetings.
Xrw York, Jan. 17. Uncle Sam
has been legally "dry" now for 24
hours. Prohibition in its nation
wide aspect has fallen upon the
country gently, it is , reported by
fcdrral internal revenue officials,
largely because of well-stocked cel
lars and the knowledge of the ac
cessibility of Cuba where a man
may quench any kind, of a thirst and
still be within the law. Meanwhile
drug stores' ancR candy emporiums
are reported doing an increased
business where a "wink" at the soda
fountains nowadays carries no more
suggestion of a 'ikick" than a dash
of ginger. '
Meanwhile, the churches and oth-J
er organizations are ceieuratmg tne
final triumph of prohibition after a
"campaign" which, they say, lasted
278 years. Next Monday the army
of clergymen in Greater New York
who meet annually for a union
meeting and who represent nearly
every sect and creed-Jewish, Cath
olic and Protestant will gather here
and listen to addresses by rederal
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer,
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the Anti-Saloon league and other
notables in the "dry" fight. Similar
jubilee meetings, it is said, will be
held in other parts of the country.
Tomorrow will be "Law and Order
Sunday."
At these meetings, various speak
ers are expected to touch upon some
of the historical dates of the anti-
liquor movement in America, which-J
had its inception in Maryland in
Ib4J when the colony passed a law
"punishing drunkenness by a fine of
100 pounds of tobacco." Other
curious events in the struggle to
give John Barleycorn the count may
oe recalled as follows:
Legal to Sell to Indians.
Pennsylvania colonyin 1644 made
it legal to sell liquor to Indians as
well as to whites but a few years
later Connecticut and Rhode Island
penalised rum selling to the red
skins by imposing heavy fines. In
ltiSO Connecticut passed a law for
bidding "tippling for more than
half an hour at a time." Four years
later Massachusets fined tavern
keepers 20 shillings for catering to
drunken man. Maryland in 1658
voted to put any person found
drunk in the stocks for six hours.
Virginia decided "a common drunk
ard" was any person who had been
intoxicated three times.
First Temperance Society. '
Dr. Benjamin Rush, perhaps the
greatest American medical authori
ty of a century and a quarter ago,
in 1785 issued his celebrated essay
dealing with the effects of alcohol
on the body and mind. Four years
later the first "temperance society"
in the country was organized by
200 farmers in Litchfield county,
Conn. In 1794 the "whisky rebel
lion" in opposition to the tax on
distilled liquors broke out in western
Pennsylvania and was suppressed
bv the military. In 1802 congress
passed a law enabling the president
to "take steps to prevent the traf
fic in liquor with the Indians.
The Sober society, founded in Al-
lentown, N. J., in 1805, was the next
