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 Any Nurse or Doctor Will TeB You- tliat it is much easier to "stay well" than It is to "get well1! and it it much less expensive.
