STATE REPOSITORIES.
Former State Treasurer II. {. Upton
Strongly FavOrs Them.


Batesville Guard few days ago.
1t is we'll worth your time to read
it:
For the past twelve years |
have been intimately connected
with the affairs Of the State
Treasurer's office, having served
six years as an employe and six
years as State Treasurer. Dur
inc that time | have had occasion
to observe the workings of the
Treasury in all its departments,
and have recognized the fact
that, through all these years,
the State has been losing thous-
ands Of dollars every year, by
keeping the revenue in its vaults,
instead Of creating repositories
for the safe keeping of the States
money.
During my second term as
State Treasurer ! prepared q bill
authorizing the Treasurer to de-
posit public funds, creating a
Board of Deposit and regulating
the relations and transactions
between the State Treasury and
State Depositories, and handed
it to one Of the members Of the
Legislature, who introduced it in
the Senate. 1t was read the first
time, and, for somo unknown
reason, it was placed upon the
table, and was kept there, in un-
merited obscurity, during the
remainder of the session. Mr..
McCoIlum, the brainy member of
the last House from Hemps tead
county, introduced % similar bill
which met with u better fate, but
it did not pass. The lower House
passed the bill and am glad to
say that tho members from
independence county heartily
supported it. The Senate, for
reasons best known to itself, put
it to sleep--"the sleep that knows
no waking"
1t seems to mo that our legis-
lators for several sessions past,
have entirely ignored the
weightier measures pending be-
fore the body, and have con-
sumed the time in tho considera-
ton and passage of petty local
and unimportant matters.
Under existing laws, the rove-
Inues Of the State must be kept
in the vaults Of the Treasury,
and at this time there is nearly,
! if not quite, two millions of dol
lars in the Treasury, | will say
that, on an average, tho Treasur-
or carries rs much as eight hun
dred thousand dollars the year
round in his vaults. This amount
loaned out to bonded repositories
at per cent, would bring to the
State in interest the sum Of S32,-

Playing Safe.

You probably all notice the argu-
ments the Vets are making in the col
t1nns of the daily papers. These ar
guments may be all right, but the
examples they give are all far, from
home; in fact, too far to allow of veri-
fcationy or contrary before the cleo
ton. Now l will try and give you a
few facts from the territory around
here which you know so well and is so
close that my statements can be easily
verified.
your neighbors to the east of you
are just like you in every way. They
eat the same food, breathe the same
nir and live the same kind of life as
you live. Many of the towns have
tried local option, and not a one has
died yet. Four years ago Mariana,
in Jackson county, had red hot cleo
ton and voted dry. Now there isn't
a fellow in the city that will admit he
voted the wet ticket, The election
took place on Aug. %, 1905 At that
time there was one bank in Jackson
county, having a capital OF $4,000.
Today that same bank has a capital
of $4,000 and there are five other
prosperous banks in the county Since
the election there have been eight
new stores constructed, all are now
occupied, as are those stores formerly
occupied by the saloons.
In Comparison.
The liquor men in a card in The
Journal few days ago said that in
the county judges court in Jackson
county, during the four years proceed
ing the success of the Prohibition
movement, there were docketed 426
criminal cases. They further said
that in the same court during the
four years under prohibition ending
August II, 1907, there were docketed
S64 criminal cases, abe nature of
the argument tended to show that pro-
hibition in that county tended to in
crease crime instead of reducing it.
That reminds me OF little story
1 used to tell A man had the grip
and was at loss for cure for it.
Another man came along and told the
sick man to take black cat, fasten
him to the foot CT bed. take gal
lon of liquor. and drink it until he
could see seven cats. These state
ments of the liquor men make me be
lieve they have been taking this grip
cure, and are seeing double.
The truth is. however, that the
county judges court at Mariana has
for the past four years been trying
Eall the cases that the seventeen JUS
tice of the peace courts In the county
tried previous to that time. This is
because the county four wears ago. or

Truth About Milton.

"a year or so ago I went TO Milton
on business, and at, that time they
had three barrooms across the street
from the court house. While l was
there saw 25 or 80 drunkards on the
streets of the town, anu witnessed
three or four fights. Loud and bois-
ferrous talking was a nightly occur
renee on the street corners and near
the saloons Last week | was again
called to Milton and what a change!
Everybody was as quiet and orderly
as the audience before me tonight
There was no loud talk, cursing or any
disturbance of any kind and the con-
trast was very marked.
Real Olives" Here.
+ Nov, then, if prohibition is such
good thing for these towns, why will
it not be good for Pensacola? You
have got some of the meanest, lowest
dives-not so-called dives, but sure
enough, full fedged dives of the low
est type-in Pensacola, and are they
helping to build up the city CT the
, community? They say Prohibition
will ruin the town. Did the yellow
! fever epidemic. the biz storm of last
year, or the disastrous fire of some
/ years ago ruin the town? No, they
proved blessings in the end, and the
same will be found true of the Pro-
hibition law
! Some Of the Wet men are arguing
that while they do not visit the sa-
lDons, still they desire to hayesa drink
occasionally at their home. That is
all right, that is their privilege. The
local option law, under which will be
held the election next Tuesday. does
not say Thou shalt no drink but does
say that the licensed saloon must 60
