LIQUOR BUSINESS IN PROHIBITION STATES

Though there are several states Of
the union which have either constitu-
tional or statutory laws forbidding the
sale of intoxicants, there is none in
which the liquor traffic is not carried
on extensively.
This statement is based on tae re-
cent report Of the internal revenue
bureau. The federal government pays
no attention to state laws on the liquor
question, but issues licenses wherever
the conditions for them are complied
with.
Iowa, a prohibition state, has 5213
persons who hold licenses to make or
sell liquor. The proportion is about
one license to every 400 inhabitants.
The same proportion would give At
lanta 250 liquor licenses instead Of
ninety.
Kansas, another prohibition state,
with population of 1927 ,097, has 257O
liquor licenses, or one to every 555 in
habitants.
Maine makes a slightly better show
ing. Her population is 661 ,086, or was
at the last census, and she has 1148
liquor licenses, or one for every 575 of
her entire population.
1hkluR JHe prOpOrClOu ny VoIerS We
find that Iowa has one liquor license to
every 100 voters, Kansas one to every
1873 voters and Maine one to every la
voters.
The magnitude of the liquor busi-
ness in the United States is shown by
the statement in the internal revenue
report that there are in this coutry
232,295 firms or individuals holding
federal licenses to make or sell intoxi-
eating liquors.
Assuming our present population to
be $4,000 this gives US one liquor
license for each 800 inhabitants, or
about one for each 72 voters.
New York leads in the business with
41,176 licenses. Illinois comes second
with 1883; Ohio third with 1887, and
Pennsylvania fourth with 1915.

1t is always pleasure to receive an
unsolicited bsnefaction. During the
past few months the Flowery Kingdom
Herb Remedy Company has been the
recipient of much attention from the
press and from the citizens Of South
ern California. Some of these mani
festations have been very pleasant;
others have been of the opposite char
ecter, but none has been received more
gratefully than the following commu-
nication from talented lady, resident
in neighboring city, whose life has
been restricted in its promised scope
Of great usefulness and honor by lin
gering aud painful illness. In spite Of
her physical infirmities, the author is
possessed Of remarkably keen and
logical mind, and we value this letter
all the higher because it is one OF the
most forceful presentations Of our case
to the public that we have ever seen,
ummarizing as it does, the merits Of
our system by the results of one of the
most difficult tests to which that sys-
tenn has ever been applied, aud also the
abstract principles Of justice and hui
manity upon which we base our claims
to the patronage, consideration and
protection of the public.
Perhaps no more graphic or conclu-
sive statement of this case, when we
undertook it, three months ago, could
be given than in Mrs. May yberry's own
words. No one who has never ex-
perienced the despair of complete
loss of health can understand fully
what it means to be "a hopeless invalid
for twenty-three years, gradually grow
ing worse," and expecting no relief in
life. Such things can be told, in a
way, but not in way to impress the
many with the utter desolation which
such a condition brings upon the
afflicted. We regard it as one of the
greatest triumphs of our professional
career that we have been able in cer-
tain measure to relieve the bodily ills
Of such woman as Mrs. May berry,
the graces and force of whose mind are
the more striking on account of her
physical incapacity. We believe that
friends and foes will alike admit that
nothing could be more fair or more
thoroughly imbued with the spirit
of genuine charity and philanthropy
than Mrs. Mayberry's words, expressed
as they are in concise, clear and we'll
chosen English, and carefully avoiding
extremes Of overstatement, while doing
a Justice to all concerned.
We feel that letter of this sort,
coming from woman of the social po-
sition, the mental power and literary
ability and the high personal character
of Mrs. Mayberry, and printed, unso-
liuited, in paper of the circulation
and standing of the Times, is the best
and strongest credentisl that we would
wish to secure. We have, therefore,
taken the liberty to reproduce it for
the benefit of those who may have over
looked it at it's first appearance. If our
enthusiasm has led us beyond the
bounds of discretion in this matter, we
are ready to be forgiven. But Mrs.
Maybsrry's letter is so earnest and so
since rs that we feel assured, without
cons ulting her, that she will be willing
that the letter sho1ld appear again il

standard can be obtained from the
leading commercial countries otherwise
We favor the present standard OF val
ne"
This was the first plank discussed:
We favor a maintenance Of the ex-
isting gold standard. and are opposed
to the free coinage of silver, except by
international agreement for bimetal-
nsm with the leading commerce ma
tons of the world"
This was to be the offer of the east.
and upon it they were to stand. The
leaders in the middle west states, Ohio,
indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Nebraska, were equally strong in
their insistence upon declaration that
would not be open to the charge of
equivocation. Michigan, Iowa ard
South Dakota, three of these tiers Of
states, stood out against a declaration
favOring in terms for the present gold
standard They rather favored some
thing distinctiVely friendly to silver,
while affirming their opposition to free
coinage under existing circumstances.
The plank agreed upon by the iowa
delegation yesterday afternoon after a
four hours struggle, and which is IN
derstood to have the endorsement Of
Senator Allison, fully sets forth this
idea. The plank was as follows:
we favor the use of gold, silver and
paper as the money of the United
States, all to be kept at a parity of
value, and the enactment of necessary
laws TO accomplish the purpose.
we also favor the use Of silver as
International money, either through an
international agreement to secure a
common ratio, with free coinage at
such ratio by the agreeing nations, or
by concurrent legislation of the leading
nations to accomplish the same pur-
pose
That. pending such an arrangement
which should be promoted by the power
of the United States, it is unWise and
inexpedient for the United States alone
to adopt free coinage of silver ait the
ratio Of Is to 4, and therefore, we OPP
pose free coinage of silver"
The leaders in the middle west offer
ed the plank which follows, which was
accepted as completely satisfactory
This, it is believed, ends the long fight
over the financial plank.
