east in the manufacture of carriages and wagons
 But to proceed with the government report on the subject It says:
 In carriages and wagons a capital of $126, ,S2O 6O4 was invested and 5,05S sal aried officials and clerks and 6O,722 wage-earners were employed in the manufacture of carriages and wagons, including all the various kinds of ve- hicles propelled by animal power for land transportation The expenses of the industry included S5,239o43 for sal aries, $3O,S7S,229 for wages, and S61,- 215,22S for materials The value of the products was $125, ,SS2976.
 Between the censuses of 1900 and 1905 this industry increased substan- tially in every item except number of establishments It is interesting to note that the rates of increase for wages and salaries were greater than the cor responding rates for the number of wage-earners and salarled employees.
 Ohio was the leading state in the manufacture of carriages and wagons, having products valued at $16, 096,125, or over one-eighth of the total value. Indiana ranked next, with a, value of 15.22S,387; New York was third, with $12,57S,14S, and Michigan fourth, with $12,1O1,17O. Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Missouri

PASSING OF THE LOCAL
 CARRIAGE INDUSTRY New Haven Now Not Included in List of Important
 Centers. LED THE COUNTRY ONCE Value of Products of One Year Set by Report at $125,-
 000,000.
LED THE COUNTRY ONCE

A government bulletin containing special reports on carriages and wag- ons and the steam and street railroad car industry has just been issued by the bureau of census. These reports were prepared under the supervision of MT. William M. Steuart, chief stat istician for manufactures, and present statistics relating to 4,956 establish ments making carriages and wagons and 1914 steam and street railroad car construction and repair shops as re- ported at the census of 1905.
 How times have changed. Once, and not 50 very long ago, either, New Ha- ven was the center of the carriage manufacturing interests of the United States. Very many of our older men whose hair is gray but who are yet among our active business men and active woTkmen in our factories, well remember when New Haven was the great hive of industry for the carriage trade. The Cook factory, now the Hooker factory, was one of the biggest of them. IL signalized itself every day by it's melodious calliope which, an- ncuncing the shop hours, was heard for miles around and was one of the sensations of those times in New Ha- ven. There was the Lawrence & Brad ley carriage factory (now the Dema- rest), famous all over the country for its fine coaches. Further back a little was the Brewster carriage factory on East street which f1ourished for years and which had several successors, all of which have gone. Then there was the George Hoadley big carriage fac tory whose buildings on St. John street nov form a part of the New Haven Clock company's works Then there was the Bartholomew shop, afterward Kean & Lines on Chapel street, cor ner of Wallace street, and which is now no more. having been demolished a year or two ago. There was the Durham & Booth factory, corner of Chapel and Hamilton streets, which gave up business years ago. There were others which are still in exis- tence under changed managements. but the output of carriages from New Haven is greatly diminished. In many of the present factories the making of automobile bodies forms a large part of the business to-day.
 These reflections arose on reading the government bulletin above spoken of. In it New Haven is not even men tioned as among the chief cities in output of carriages and wagons. The cause of the decline was partly the civil war which knocked out New Ha- ven's immense and lucrative southern trade in carriages. But the perma- nent knock out was the growth of the west and the establishment of car riage manufactures there which being located close to the source of iron sup plies, and especially timber SUD- plies had a great advantage over the

A New Post Card Offer

We announced last month the with.
drawal of our great Souvenir Post
Card Offer. The Government Post Of
flee Department advised us that since
the ten Post Cards which we were
giving to each new subscriber were
selling in the stores at % cents, our
regular subscription price, we were
violating one of the regulations, which
prohibits publishers from giving away
a premium worth more than so per
cent of the subscription price of the
paper.
We are however permitted to offer
five Cards and we now make that Of
fer, to be good during April and es-
pecially in order to aid in securing

lighted with the $4,000 or more which

A POINTER IN PRACTICAL POI l..
TICS

Suppose the crowd-the big crowd
were backing prohibition at the bal
lot,box. Would it not seem silly for
little party of 100000 or 900, 1000
voters to be urging their fellow-citi-
zens to line up on a comparatively
little issue like money or the tariff?
SO, after all, it is not the insignifi-
canoe OF the prohibition issue which
keeps men out of the ranks of the
Prohlbltion party. It is that partv's
numerical weakness. The Importance
OF the issue is recognized. The right
eousness and practicability of the pro
hlDltlon policy are acknowledged. The
growth and early success of the Pro
hlbition party are hoped for. Does
the fact that only numbers are needed
lay no obligation upon every enemy
OF the saloon-upon you-to put your
ballot back of this fight while wait.

FOR YOUNG MEN,

A young man who has acquired con.
siderable prominence in one of the
great political parties of Minnesota
was recently asked by one of his
neighbors, a Prohibitionist, why he
had not allied himself with the Pro-
hlbltion party. He answered this
question by asking another. It was
this: What has the Prohibition party
to offer a young man who has ambi-
tion?''
This answer is disappointing one,
especially since it came from the son
OF earnest and intelligent Christian
parents who for years have been ac-
tive members of the Prohibition party
Hundreds of thousands of men
made in the image of God are be-
smirched and sodden and damned by
drink. Their friends are panied be-
yOnd expression at their downfall.
Their families are covered with shame
and many of them suffer abject pov-
erty. The depots of supply where
this ruin is wrought are on every
street corner up and down the land
and on the walls of each hangs the
signed and sealed authority of the
majority of the people to engage in
the damning work. Business men see
the wages which they pay to their en-
ployes worse than wasted. Yet, in
most cases their interest seems to
cease when they have so far as pos
sible protected themselves from pc
cuniary loss. Fathers, with ballots in
their hands, cry over the ruin of their
own boys and now and then utter a
more or less earnest expression of re-
greet at the damnation of the sons of
heir neighbors. But they do not rise
in their might to crush out the de-

GOVERNOR BURKE MAKES GOOD.
Prohibition Prohibits in North Dakota.

Gov. Burke intends keeping his ante
election pledge to enforce the North
Dakota prohibitory law. He signed
the bill which removes from office
any official who rents building or a
room for blind piggers. Bismarck is
dry for the first time in many years
and public sentiment is strongly
swinging in favor of keeping the lid
on tight. Owners of buildings which
have been occupied by blind piggers
have given notice to their tenants to
remove their stocks of liquors. Blind
plggers have appealed to the governor
to allow them time to dispose of their
stock but he refuses to be a party to
any such deal. He assures them that
they knew they were engaged in an
unlawful business and he intends to
put an end to it at once. The rail-
ways seem to be intending to observe
the new law which provides for the
conflscation of liquor found in such
quantities as to indicate that it was
to be sold contrary to law.
On the other hand brewery agents
OF East Grand Forks have decided to
solicit orders in North Dakota and to
take the first case arising therefrom
TO the supreme court in order to test
the constitutiOnality of the law. Enc
mics OF the law are talking about fav-
orlng such an enforcement as will
bring about re-submission and county
option. The friends of the law will
be glad to receive the support of it's
enemies in behalf of it's enforcement
