A MISSOURI CASE
An Instance of Showing" That is
Highly Conclusive.

SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI, December 90
Especial correspondence. Some peo-
pie, not only in Missouri but outside,
like ito be shown" and this CITY and
Greene county, in which the CITY is
located, have showing that is worth
talking about.
The population of the city of Spring
field is $4,000; the population of Greene
county, outside the city of Springfield,
is substantially the same, $4,000. Out
side of Springfield there are no saloons !;
inside of Springfield the saloon is in
power
Last year the justices of the peace of
the county certified 37S court cases, cost
ing the county $6,13O66 Of these
the city of Springfield, with its saloons,
furnished three hundred and ffty-eight
and one-half cases and made costs to
the amount of $5,6s319. The other
$4,000 people of Greene county, outside
the city and without saloons, furnished
nineteen and one-half cases, with costs
amounting to $44747
That is to say, the half of the county
that has no-license furnished five per-
cent of the cases and caused seven per-
cent of the costs.

REAL MICHIGAN LAW"

LAPEER, MICH, December 19-(Spe-
cial correspondence. Judge SMITH of
the Sixth Judicial circuit, who was so
vociferous in his advice to Judge ART
MAN, to "read Michigan law" has just
given a splendid exhibition of his own
deep knowledge of that branch of legal
science. The judge has been trying to
purge himself of the contempt of the
moral element of society and in that
process, the other day, sentenced a
liquor dealer to very heavy fine and
imprisonment AS soon as the case was
out of the judges hands it was dis
covered that the punishment exceeded
that provided by law, and upon a writ
from superior court the prisoner was
discharged, scot free This, added to
the fact that the Michigan supreme
court has just handed down another
reversal of one of Judge SMITHS deci-
sions. making his number probably the
largest ever received by any Michigan
judge, is good commentary on Judge
ARTMAN's critic.

CHATTANOOGA
REGULATION

The Chattanooga Times laments the
fact that Jefferson county and the city
of Birmingham went dry-the Times
editorial was evidently written before the
whole state of Alabama went dry-and
says:
Fortunately for the country, Chatta-
nooga adopted the policy of regulation
and rigid enforcement of laws, the
abolition of the "dive" and the exclu-
sion of saloons from residential sec
tons. We will have an opportunity of
witnessing fair test of the two meth
ods-the limitation and control of the
traffic and Prohibition If Prohibition
works better, then it will be Prohibi-
ton; if Chattanooga's plan works bet
ter, then it will be generally adopted.
A fair view of each system as it pro-
crosses will be interesting.
There is little ground to doubt which
will work the better. The kind of "reg-
ulation' that Chattanooga has given us
in the past is not the kind that anyone
is likely to regard as remedy for the
evils of the drink business Chattanooga
is not the town from which a regen-
Grated regulation is to come for the
salvation of the saloon-that much is
certain

THE NATIONAL PRoH1B1TIoNIsT
NEITHER LOCAL NOR
NEGRO

The New York Evening Post, COM
menting upon the local elections in
Massachusetts and their increase in the
no-license vote, says:
Returns of this sort have been
quoted so frequently of late as per-
haps to lose some of their force. But
1t is important to correct the often
reiterated theory that the Prohibition
move" is a southern phenomenon,
and that solicitude for the negro was
its impelling force Northern COM
munlties have not responded quite so
promptly, perhaps, to the turn of
sentiment, but they exhibit it none the
less. There is probably no section in
which comparison of this years
data in respect to license vote or
license area would not show the same
tendency as that now made for the
Bay State.

JUST A BRIBE

The Herald of Washington, D. c.,
commenting on the threat of the city
of Mobile to secede from the state
of Alabama because the Prohibition
law cuts off its school money, very
nearly "hits the nail on the head" when
it says:
In plain English, this school money
is bride, and the people of Mobile
county have put themselves in the atti-
tude of those who would fight for a
chance to take it.

of any of these, Prohibition, should the

ties are still afforded.

LIGHT ON BEER CURE

The Chicago Eyeming Post makes edi-
forial comment upon remark attrib-
uted to Emperor William during his visit
to England, in the course of which it
says
When in England the Kaiser re-
ferred to the wave of anti-alcoholis1n'
which had passed, he said, over from
England into Germany There is evil
IDENTIFY general awakening to the evils
which strong drink brings to modern
society, and as something of the nature
of general awakening was necessary
to a widely efectual movement, it may
be more confidently hoped than ever
before that permanent reform is not
far distant
In Germany, for example, even such
a national institution as beer drinking
at the universities is now being Sc
verely criticised by DR.. Albert Schlat-
ter, who declares in the Deutsche that
the students are degenerating seriously
by reason of this habit At Heidelberg
the student of today no longer rows on
the Neckar, but fills up on wine or beer
and has himself rowed In North Ger
that the student there has grown sot-
fish and four quarts of beer are nee
essary nowadays to wake him up
This is markedly out of harmony with
representations that have been made to
us, the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary, concerning the wonderful
TEMPERANCE of countries where beer is
the common drink. If revelations of this
sort continue to come as they have been
coming during the past few months, the
American public may learn before long
THAT the drink problem of Germany is at
least as serious and grave and menacing
as the drink problem in the United
States, and that beer, so far from being
cure for the evils of drunkenness, is
one of the most serious factors in the
problem of national intemperance.

A QUEEN CREEK PEST.

The dry land farmers Of the Queen
Creek colony complain that the jack
rabbits have become an awful, nuisance
in that section. There are thousands
and thousands of the long eared pests
and they eat everything green in sight.
During the past two months the men
have killed many Of them but. like the
fly, more come to take the places OF
the dead. Joel Johnson was in town
yesterday and says that the Queen
Creek farmers are now planting corn
and they have a splendid prospect for
a good crop IL the rabbits can be kept
down. The recent rains put the ground
in first class condition for planting.
He is somewhat afraid of the result
unless an epidemic should kill off the
jacks. This summer he planted a row
of castor beans. which are supposed to
be poisonous to animals. but the jack
rabbits ate them without a grimace.
Queen Creek has some of the finest
land in the valley and the men who
have taken up homesteads there de-
serve to succeed. The winter rains
gave them plenty of water for grain,
and the July and August rains they
think will enable them to make a corn
crop. If they are successful il will en-
courage more dry" farming. as there
is enough land to give homes to many
thousands OF people. But the rabbits
must be exterminated.
