RUSSIA NEARING
i STATE
i, (By United Press)
PETROGRAD, July 28. — Russia
never has been dry. Under the old
censorship of the days of czardom no
correspondent would be permitted to
send this fact to the outside world.
But now the truth may be told. The
Russian government officials discov
ered that it pleased the czar grea ly
to be placed before the Outside wor d
as being the sponsor of prohibition
in Russia, and they did all they could
in the way of giving out erroneouv
impressions as to the extent of the
dry wave in Russia.
Russia did go dry—for the peasan* ■
But the czar's famous prohibition law
was so arranged that any man with
money enough could get all the liquo
he desired. The government inumi
facture of vodka was stopped and t.
law was passed prohibiting the salt
of any liquor containing more ‘hai
three per cent of alcohol. The Impyr
tatlon of wine did not cease. Tin
price of champagne went up to ? J
a bottle, with other prices in propoi
i tion. The popular cabarets, hotel
and restaurants served wines in chin,
pitchers and china cups, but every
where the man with money was <ibl«
to hove all his liquor orders fillet
to the smallest whim. »
Foreigners were permitted to nur
chase all liquors in the shops, pro
vided they presented permits to put
chase, issued by their embassies
There was no law of any kind that
prevented a citizen from having liquo
on his premises or from drinking ‘t
The revolution, which put the work
men snd soldiers' committee inti
power, practically made Russia in
for the first time. Today a few dat
ing hotel keepers will sell -a bottle 01
cognac for from twenty-five to fori)
dollars, or a small bott)« of ordinary
claret for from ten to fifteen dollars
The importation of any sort ofmrr
alcohol has ceased and the high price
of liquor is really due to its scarcity
in the country. Russia is rapidly he
coming “bone dry.”
«
There is no doubt in the minds ol
Rysslans that their revolution was
practically bloodless because Us was
practically boozeless. There are some
Russian leaders who say that it was
ihe absence of alcohol that made the
revolution possible. A drunken sodden
Russia of the old type could never
have aroused itself to real revolt as
this Russia has done. A Socialist
leader said to me:
“One of the greatest mistakes the
czar ever made was to force the pea
sants to sober up. He took the pea
sants and made them s*)ber; he gave
them good clothe.B in the way of mili
tary uniforms and he gave each pea
sant a rifle and taught him how to
shoot. He thought he was turning
the peasants into soldiers, hut they
remained peasants at heart. When
the right time came these sobered
peasants turned their guns on him.”
NEW tTATIONS ARE
NAMED ON RAILROAD.
Two new stations, Pittman anil
Houston, have been added to the
schedules of the U. S. railroad recent
ly, both on the main line beyond Wa
sllla. Pi tman was formerly mllo 166
and Hour ton mile 174, the crossing of
the Little Siisitna river. The change
in designations was made necessary j
by the introduction of regular service [
between Anchorage and these points, j
Loth stations are named for con !
gressmen who have been Instrumental
In the development of Alaska, and the j
government rnilroad. Senator Key]
Pittman of Nevada, for which Pitt
man was named, formerly resided in
Nome, where ho was the first prose
'Uting attorney. Congressman William
C. Houston Of Tennessee, for which
Houston was named, was chairman of
the committee on territories, and
handled the Alaska railroad project
in the house.
