lt will be seen from the above, that. Il few
years ago, when the license fee was only
$3.50 year, there were 1852 arrests for
drunkenness during the year. But now,
when the cost of license has been increased
more than five fold, SO that the 374 grog
geries are replaced by one-sixth of that
number of attractive. gilded salo0ns, the
number OF arrests fur drunkenness is
doubled! During those years when any
man might keep saloon who could pay
small license fee, the number of arrests dur
ing Il year averaged less than six To Il
loon. But after IA high license fee had
driven from the business those who could
not affect a high degree of responsibility,
tine lumber OF arrests averages more than
fifty for every drinking h usr. Less than
ou:- aries; every two mont hs for drunken
ness, for every little ordinary gr'ggery-
but one week. more than eight times as
many foT every aristocratic saloon!
Experiences elsewhere is similar. In Bos-
ton, in 1886, when the license fee was only
$3.50, thirteen hundred and sky three So
looms were responsible for 1919 arrests for
drunkenness. But in 1889, when the cost of
license had been increased tour-fold (to
$4,000, and the number of saloons had de-
Gre ased more than half (to 5S3), the mum
Der Of arrests for this canse was "A 1891, an
increase OF more then fifty per cent.
At Lawrence, Mass, in 1888, when license
cost only $3.50, and there were 2O7 saloons
there Were 82l arrests for drunkenness. But
the next year, when the cost of III" license
had been increased eight fold, (to 81, 300),
aud the number of saloons had been re-
dncet 10 thirty, The cases of drunkenness
increased more than 80 per cent, (rn L.
300 The saloons which Were able TO pay
1,500 for license, manufactured IN an aver
age eleven times AS many drunkards as
those tippling houses which could afford to
pay only small license.
Springfield, Mass, shows a like expert
encs. TIE number OF drunken men arrest
ed in year was about twice az large last
year, when the cost of license was 81 $50, as
IN previous year when it was S400 i ,634
as against SIC.
In feU places the number of drunken
meu has been decreased nv the increase of
the license fees, but the general experience
is that high license affords no check to
drunkenness and crime, but on the contrary,
gives the best facilities for selling liquor at
the least aggregate expense to liquor sellers.
One lesson OF these figures is that a highly
respectable saloon, luxuriously furnished
and equipped, does vastly more to corrupt
and destroy the youth of the land than the
ordinary drinking saloon. The common
grngger exhibits something of, the degrade
ton, the poverty, the squalor, the infamy
that are the usual sequel TO social drinking
The exclusion from the business of those
who cannot maintain halo of respectable
ity and elegance, multiplies largely the
number OF victims of interperance.

Prohibition Triumphant IN
Kent.

Most of our readers are aware that
the qualified voters of Kent county
were to decide by ballot on Sat-
urday last, whether the local option
law now in force in that county
should be continued, or a so-called
high license system be substituted in
its stead. So far as we understand the
situation in that county, it is, In all re-
spects, similar to that now existing in
this county. A local prohibitory law had
been adopted by majority of the
qualified voters of the county, which
was as efficiently enforced as any other
law of prohibitory character. The
opponents of the existing law secured
a resubmission Of the question, basing
their arguments principally upon the
ground that the present law was COM
paratlveIy inoperate, or in other words,
that prohibition did not prohibit. This
argument was doubtless as oft repeated
by the opponents of prohibition in Kent
county, as in Cecil, and was doubtless
there, as it is here, their main reliance
for its defeat. So far as we have any
evidence to the contrary there was no
argument raised against prohibition in
Kent county, that is not equally poten-
tlal against it in this county, and yet
after wide public discussion of the
question, the people of Kent county
have, by the emphatic vote of 1908 to
$40, majority of 1913, refused to SUBJ
stltute high license system for its
present prohibitory law. Speaking of
the result the Chestertown Z1unscy1bt
says:
While the result of Saturdays cleo
ton NAV have been a surprise to few
of those least familiar with the situation,
it were safe to say that by vast major
lty of the advocates of both sides the
result was anticipated, and the defeat
Of the High License Law conceded be-
fore the day of election arrived. The
vote in the respective districts was much
larger than was expected, and however
much the general result may have been
the heavy majorities given for
the Temperance ticket was a surprise not

s-scan to be anything but enthu-
iastic and grateful for the fact that so
many professional difficulties in delicate
alters are settled, once for all, by the
cooperation OF skilled women IN med

same line OF congratulation when
oduate advantages, designed to
ally beneficial, and at the same
severely requiring as to ability, are
IN to the graduates of all the medi-
al schools. BY admitting women to
studies and opportunities that will make
claim to be the highest in the country,
for postgraduate experience, two things
will be secured. A standard will be set
which every great postgraduate school
must reach and may pass, to secure
eminence. And the position is assured
that medical women are equally COM
petent to try tor and receive these ad-
vantages IN whatever city they may be
offered. 1t is thoroughly American
movement, this; and its high scientific
aim does equal credit to the subscribers
who make it possible and to the medical
school that adopts it."

FACTS FROM THE CENSUS.
NEW YORK STATE WILL LOSE A
MHMBBR OF CONGRESS.

AS the Entire Delegation Would Have
to be Elected as One Ticket the Re-
publicans Won't Put Through a Re-
apportionment Bill-rhe Recount at
st. Paul.
WASHINGTON, Aug S.-The announce
ment tonight by the census Office of the
rough count of the population of New York
state renders 1t impossible that there will
be any attempt at reapportiOnment this
session. This rough count gives New York
5,99s, 900 population, which, on the basis Of
1sl 600. the probable ratio, the number of
the House Of Representatives remaining the
same, would reduce New York's representa-
tion by one member; and, therefore, should
the reapportionment bs made this session,
would compel the election of the thirty
three members on one ticket. The proba-
bility that the democrats would elect their
ticket will prevent any reapportionment
inviting such disaster to the Republican
party.
The census bureau to-day announced the
result Of the rough count Of the population
Of Atlanta, Ga, as 65, 414, which is an In
crease during the census period Of 2S,015 or
rs. .13 per cent.
Albany, N. Y, shows an increase of O. 10
per cent, Troy, N. Y, 6.s per cent and
Wilmington, Del, 44.63 per cent.
ST. PAUL TO BE REcoUNTED.
Secretary Noble has approved the recom-
mendation of Supt. Porter, submitted to-
day, that the original order directing a
recount Of the population Of the city of st.
Paul be put in execution. Supr. Porter. in
a letter. gives a detailed account of the
investigation, which shows that the larger
share OF the Irregularities were found in
eleven enumorating districts. An examine
tion OF the schedules discloses, among other
irregularities, the fact that at least 4, 600
Implications of names were made The Sec
retary, while generating the citizens of st.
Paul from even suspicion Of collusion In
falsifying tho enumeration schedules, be-
lieves that the errors committed were of
so gross a character as to require, In justice
to all concerned, a recount of the whole
city. The work will begin next Monday.
