Saloons No Advertisement for 4

ANVIL
On coming 70 Rich Hill about
two months ago, ] tried 20 6nd
out al / could about the place.
II was 10 be my home and Of
course / was interested in every
thing concerning the town The
FIRST copy Of the daily paper that
fell into my hands / read through
and was especially interested IN
the advertisement Of Rich Hills
Resources" which the enter
prising editor was running. It
was written by an up-to-date
editor 10 put the town before
the public, so as to draw desir-
able peopleto settle here and Sc
cure the investment Of capital in
the city.
read the column carefully,
noting the different things the
editor mentioned as constituting
the resources Of Rich Hill. He
mentioned all that one would ex-
pect him TO speak of. the great
coal deposits, the smelter works,
banks, churches, etc, but left
out one thing, which struck me,
in the face Of the claims made by
some people, az very strange.
He failed TO mention the fact that
Rich Hill has ONE WHOLESALE
BEER HOUSE and FIVE SALOONS.
The omission could not have been
an oversight because we are con
stantly reminded that the sa-
looms make the town and that
Hill would be ruined with
out them. If he forgot 1t then.
be is sufficiently reminded Of it
But some one may say they
are classed with other business
Institutions of a first class city,
n the advertisement. That
be true, If we were not
forever reminded that the city
could not exist without them.
no other business institu-
ion is the revenue OF the city
Drawn as from the saloons. (But
what they contribute constitutes
,nly a small per cent Of the city's
ncome.) That certainly ought
% be a resource. Bat it is not
mentioned as such.
We are told that we cannot get
along without the $500 revenue
lee from these saloons, that the
city would be ruined without
them. From what we hear from
some people they are the chief
factors in making the town, yet
in a careful write1p Of the re
Of Rich Hill they are not
mentioned. We are told that
these five saloons do good by
lowering the rate Of taxes far
the rate Of some of the
in Kansas, making 1t q
great thing financially to live in
Rich Hill. Yet the institutions
that are given the credit for this
are left out OF the advertisement
Of the town.
Churches are not taxed. They
pay not one cent OF revenue into
the city treasury. yet the writer

our city. Besides. an towns il
the United States have churches;
there are none without them
Buta large number Of places are
without saloons. Yet this writer
mentions the churches and
leaves out the saloons.
This struck me as q strange
omission, IL al that it's advocates
say are true Of the saloon. There
must be something wrong.
Something wrong with the ad-
vertisements or wrong with the
saloons. The advertisement Is
all right. What then is wrongS
Dc saloons advertise a town?
Do they bring desirable people to.
live here. and cause capital to be
invested here2 The answer /
was driven to in the face Of this
great advertisement Of Rich Hill
is that saloons, though they are
taxed abnormally and contribute
large revenue to the city treas
ury, do not advertise a town, and
are therefore no advantage, but
an injury. They take ont Of a
town,and drain a town Of far more
than they put into it, hence the
$500 counts for nothing in the
face Of what is taken out in pay
ing breweries, and in lessening
the power Of many to produce
wealth.
Senator Camack. Of Tenn, in a
great speech in Nashville, said:
Recently, desiring to secure
statistics of the wealth OF Nash
