A SALOONLESS CITY.

When labor sends forth its edict
against the saloon, its day will have
begun to be spent. Capital is coercing
labor to let the cup alone, and labor
is waking up to the value of the OBJ
ject lesson.
The United States Steel corpora
ton is building a city in the pineries
of northern Minnesota-a city to be
exempt from saloons. Capital knows
what it is doing. This city, Dolerain
by name, will have water works, pub
lie school, paved streets, public libra
ry. 1t will be self-suppOrting. twill
be prosperous. For it will not stretch
out one hand for the drunkard 5 dimes
while with the otheI it pours out dol
lars to pay for his shiftlessness, and
the support of bis neglected and abused
family.
And this is merely one of many in
stances.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN.
NEARLY A MODEL.

The possibility of making license
prohibitive is proven by Waycross, a
thriving tnwn in northeastern Georgia
The editor of the Journal says:
For sixteen years the city license
for selling has been $50, 900. Each sue
ceedlng council fixes it, no change
has ever been made and no one has
applied for the privilege within tina,
time. This tax was levied as prohib'
tive and has been effective. Not only
is the legal sale prohibited, but ille-
gal selling is kept to the minimum,
and four policemen keep order in this
town of nine thousand. Ninety per
cent. of white people own their homes.
There are no paupers, no poor house,
no loafers and ninety-three per cent.
of the children attend school. The
town supports twenty churches and all
are we'll attended Swearing is rarely
heard upon the streets and one does
not see a drunken man in three months.
Two large railroad shops and one car
factory are operated here because the
men are found to be more reliable
than in liquor towns. These are some
reasons who Waycross keeps the IL
cense at $50, OOO."
This is simply added proof that pro-
hibition, under any name, NAV in a
few years, contribute toward the MAX
ing of nearly ideal town.

GREAT CORPORATIONS.

Hundreds of great business corpor-
atiOns, under conviction deepened
by experience, have made the territory
under their control strictly prohibition
ground, and having added the rule
that employees in any degree addicted
to drink will suffer discharge. In
many cases, heads of departments in
these great concerns, or self-gOyern-
ing, cooperative firms, enact for
themselves stringent rules governing
personal conduct in these lines, thus
creating prohibition territory in the
entire vicinity. One firm carrying
general merchandise, submitted the
question of abstinence or personal
liberty" to it's 1000 employees, and
they have solved it. No employee may
frequent a saloon. The entire liquor
fraternity in that part of a great city,
finding themselves without the expec-
ted patronage, have closed tteir doors
and retired.
The commercial spirit has been so
often decried by our own folks that we
may be glad it is being made an ally.

COMMERCIALISM HELPING PRO
HIBITION.

Readers of any journal entitled to
be called a reform paper, are familiar
with the attitude of great proportion
of railroad companies as to the bibu-
lous habits of employees. The drink
ing railroad man is both rapidly and
surely giving place to the total alb
stainer. The considerations are prob
ably of financial nature: railway
companies lose money through men
who drink even moderately.
COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
In widely read New York paper, a
drummer tells that he no longer dimes
and wines" his customer after large
order: he gives a reasonable treat, in.
stead that shall incluce wife and
daughters. And this pleasant tale il
reproduced in trades journals, show
ing the drift of drummers and trades
people.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY DEAD.
NOTED sUFFRAeIsT HAS PASSED
AWAY AT HER HOME.

Rochester. N. T. March 1.-THE
long and eventful life of Susan 3. An
thony closed. The end came peace
fully. Miss Anthony had been un-
conscious practically for "a hours and
pected since Sunday night Only her
wonderful constitution kept her alive.
DIR. NJ. S. Kicker, her after ding
physician, said Miss Anthony died of
heart failure induced by double pneu-
monia. She had had serious valvular
trouble for the last six or seven
years. Her lungs were practically
clear. and the pneumonia had yield
ed to treatment. but the weakness of
her heart prevented her recovery.
Susan Brownell Anthony, probably
the best known advocate of woman
suffrage in America. was born at
Adams, Mass, Feb. Is, 1920. When
Miss Anthony was still in her teens
her parents removed to New York
state and in 1916 settled at Rochester,
which city the eminent refOrmer con-
tinued TO call her home during the
remainder of her life. Miss Anthony
received a liberal education and spent
the early part OF her career as
school teacher. which profession her
father had followed before her.
Miss Anthony first spoke in public
in 1917, and from that time took part
in the temperance movement, organ
izing societies and lecturing. In 1851
she called temperance convention
in Albany, 1fter being refused admiS-
sion to a previous convention on ac-
count of her sex. IN 1852 the WO-
mans New York State Temperance
Society was organized. Through her
exertiOns and those of Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, women came to be ad.
mitted to educational and other con-
ventions with the right to speak, vote
and serve on committees.
