People of all trades and professions

yearning for the soil. A medical stu

The census bureau has issued an
interesting bulletin containing a dis
cussiOn of the vital statistics of the
twelfth census. 1t is gratifying to
note that the census returns show a
diminut ton in the death rates for
each class of people up to the age of
As. The decrease is apparently due
to a lessening Of mortality from con-
sumption, diphtheria and diseases Of
children. The mortality from con
sumption alone fell from 245 per 100,
900 in 1890 to 1877 per 100, 600 in 1900.
These figures cover the registration
areas in the United States.

AS TO PROHIBITION

this issue 10 announcer dIClClo ioiii
Asael Larson in which he sets
forth his reasons for being a
"party prohibitionist" and takes
church and temperance people
who are not prohibitionists IN
politics to task for what he evil
IDENTIFY regards as their failure
to do their duty in the cause OF
temperance. There is much that
is true in what he says. "Ils
true, tits pity and pity tits, It's
true" But it is true also, as the
ISLANDER has said repeatedly in
discussing this much vexed
question, that very little has
been accomplished or is likely
to be through the efforts to make
the principle of prohibition the
corner stone of a political party.
The writer spent most Of the
years of his boyhood in one of
the New England states which
recently abandoned prohibition
after fifty years of earnest effort
to make it effective. He went
from there to one of the richest
and most populous of the west
ern states which also enacted a
prohibitory law which it soon
abandoned because the evils
that fourished under it were
greater than those which it
sought to abolish. Statistics
show that prohibitory laws have
not reduced the per capita con-
sumption of liquor. On the con-
trary there has been a very great
increase in liquor consumption
during all the years in which
the Prohibitionists have been
most active in their efforts to
abolish the traffic. Mr.. Larson
knows this very we'll. The we'll
meant efforts of the Prohibition
lists as party organization have
been as ineffective as Don Quix-
ote's charge upon the wind mill.
They are in fact the Don Quix-
otes of politics.
We believe that Mr.. Larson
knows very we'll that the editor
of the ISLANDER is neither a
patron of nor a supporter of
saloons. We do not "vote to
uphold whiskey sellers" nor do
we believe that any good can be
accomplished by everlastingly
preaching to whiskey drinkers.
Mr.. Larson's statement that
nothing that the ISLANDER has
said during all these years gives
us any idea of whether it is for
the prohibition side or the
whiskey side" of local option,
is entirely unwarranted by the
facts. The paper under it's
present ownership has earnestly
and consistently supported every
effort that has been made to
enforce the laws relating to the
sale of liquor, has demonstrated
against the renewal Of licenses
to dealers who have not obeyed
the law and has criticized off,
Gals who have failed to do their
duty in enforcing the law. 1t
has never followed the practice,
and never will under it's present
control, of continually bounding
the liquor dealers themselves,
who are not one whit worse citi-
zens than countless other men
who are engaged in other occu-
pations ordinarily considered
more reputable. If there is any
moral difference between selling
liquor as a beverage over a sa.
loon bar and over the counter
OF drug store or bar of "frst-
class" hotel, it is one of degree
only.
