The liquor traffic is no friend to the
workman, so far as employment is
concerned. 1t gives occupation to
fewer men than any other business in
proportion to its capital. For exam pie,
the annual output Of brewery esti-
mated at S5.0O0,OOO employs but 66o
men, while an iron ore works of the
same capital requires 4,SOO laborers.
A number OF our exchanges are dis
cussiEg whether they should write
prohibition with big "P" or little
"p." We suggest they write it right.
Prohibition as a principal is a noun,
common, and should be written with q
little "p." The Prohibition party is q
noun, proper, and should be written
with a big "P."-New Era.
You are right as far as you go, bul
both Prohibition aud Party should be-
gin with capitals, for it is = capita
party and will be the biggest ."P" il
