No worthy Confederate veteran
will object to the recent ruling of the
state board of pensions which re-
quites "unquestionable proof that
the applicant flor a pensionl per-
formed faithful service to the Con-
federacy and that he did not desert.
Such proof can only be made by the
statements Of persons who know of
their own knowledge of the services
or from official documents and rec
ords." The board has ordered the
return of all applications which do
not meet this requirement to the
clerks of the court. The pension law
of 1867 contemplates an honor roll of
Confederate veterans, and every
worthy veteran will desire to see
that it be preserved inviolate.

' THE TOWN.

sacola Journal has long ana declu-
edly valuable contribution to the
cause of prohibition in last Sunday s
issue of his aggressive and popular
newspaper. His article is entitled
why Prohibition will NOT Kill the
Town" Lack of space prevents our
giving the article entire, but We will
reproduce one of the many good
points he makes. By changing the
figures somewhat and substituting
the word 'Palatka" wherever Pen
sacola" appears the argument of Ed
itor Mayes will have local signiti-
canoe. He says:
Il am in favor of Prohibition in
Pensacola for two reasons-hrst, be-
cause of what | regard as the moral
principle involved; and second, be-
cause | think it would, with the sin
gle exception of the liquor business
itself, make every class OF business
better.
with the moral side of the ques-
ton | shall not at this time attempt
to deal, except to say that while,
from my standpoint, the Prohibition
side Is the moral side, l neyerthe-
less do not think the Prohibition adj
vocates have monopoly Of all the
morality or virtue in the community
nor do think that because man
happens TO be in the liquor business
it necessarily follows that he is bad
man.
But with the BUSINESS SIDE of
the question | want to submit few
propositions that | shall from tune
to time discuss at greater length as
the campaign progresses.
The stock argument against FRO
hibition is usually expressed IN I'VE
short words. viz: alt Will Kill the
town." meaning Of course, that 1t
will hurt business, Many people VINO
would otherwise be glad to see the
liquor business prohibited really be-
lieye this theory, notwithstanding
the fact that Prohibition never Killed
town anywhere, and never hurt
anv business outside OF the liquor
business itself.
The test of the dollars and cents
value of any business to communl-
ty is always found in the dollars ana
cents which it LEAVES IN tue
community. If it leaves more IN
the community than it takes OF ].
it is worth the balance or the dill
ference between what it leaves in
and what it takes OUT. That Is a
simple problem OF addition and sub
traction and is the test by which the
value Of the liquor business to Es-
Gambia county should be measured.
Now | take it for granted that if
it can be shown that the liquor BUSH
ness in Pensacola adds nothing TO
the town. but on the other hand real
ly takes great many dollars OUT of
the town, it ought to be reasonably
clear that Prohibition will not only
not hurt the town but will actually
help it.
I'VE are told that the liquor bust
ness in Pensacola aggregates 81 >
100000 per year. To be Conser-
vativr, let US cut it down to 81 ,OOO,-
900 per wear.
w hat does that one million dol
lars repreeeut-that much more
wealth added to the community
that much more property Oh the tax
books?-that much more money in
circulation? Does it? Or does it
represent
"Simply the swapping of so
many dollars between the PenSa-
cOlians who buy liquor and those
who sell it, without adding one
single dollar to the community
and without putting a dollars
worth OF property on the tax
