The Prohibition Movement.

This thing of restricting the
traffic In alcoholic liquors seems
to have become a matter of
business rather than of senti-
ment, nowadays. While this coun-
try has been wondering at the mar
velous march of anti-Hquor senti-
rment, first in the South and latterly
In other sections, 1t is interesting to
note what is doing in other coun-
tries. Apparently the same general
conditions that have produced n
given result in this country have
worked similarly elsewhere.
In Italy, for example, it is report
ed that a great organization is be-
ing formed for the propagation Of
sentiment and the extension of the
campaign against alcohol. Great
progress has been made, especially
in the industrial region of northern
Italy. AS in this country, there is
nothing fanatic or extreme about
this new movement. It is simply a
movement to secure a result that
@ large number of people deem de-
sirable. There is about as much
sentiment in it as there is in the
Mercantile Marine League or the
Protective Tariff League.
Other continental countries have
ibecome interested in the notion of
looping of the abuses of the liquor
traffic. Even in Germany the move
g1uent has found friends and force
lenough to improve conditions in
gone communities where improve
:snent was needed. In Great Britain
the agitation against excessive
drinking has had the highly signifi-
cant result that in recent years of
greatly increased prosperity among
S&he working classes the average per
capita consumption of liquor has de-
icreased. There can hardly be doubt
that the drinking evil has been a
most menacing one in England. No
where on the Continent have condi-
lions become so bad as in the big Eng
1ish and Scotch cities; and the fact
that conditions have turned toward
the better is proof that the wide
spread awakening of opinion has
mot passed over Great Britain with
out results.

Russia is in a state of transition
from an ancient government mod
eled on an oriental despotism to a
modern government by representa-
tives of the mass of the common
people. It is passing from a semi
barbarous state to a condition of
higher civilization. The bomb, the
torch, volleying soldiery shooting
down the mob, Stolypin's necl0ties,
and secret executions of those who
dare to oppose the present regime,
are only the symptoms of the un-
rest heaving and rolling beneath
the thin upper crust on which sits
Nicholas guarded by his troops. He
is sitting over a volcano. When the
crust breaks, as break it win event
ually, the whole fabric of Russian
government and society viii be

tocracy believes it can retain its
power forever, but it fails to recog-
nize that the march of events and

ity in the progress OF the world are

Good Times Coming.

Favorable bank reports, improve
ment in the quotations of standard
securities higher prices of sound in
dustrial stocks, and the reopening
of many great business enterprises
all show that the country is fast re-
covering from the recent panic.
The best indication of returning
prosperity is the reopening of some
of New England's greatest factories,
the resumption of the making of
iron and steel in the Pittsburg dis
trict, where 10000 skilled workers
will soon take up their tools, and
the splendid condition of our agri-
cultural resources.
Better yet for the mercantile in
terests, and for all classes, the wage
scales in every field of endeavor in
1905 viii probably suffer no reduc-
tion from the scales of 1907. High
wages and the full dinner pail are
the best barometers of ease and
contentment throughout the land.
The most satisfactory symptoms
lof the present situation is the re-
turning spirit of confidence.
After all, the recent financial
stringency served good purposes. It
squeezed millions of fictitious values
from inflated stocks and bonds, re-
ducing them to somewhere near
their real values, and it removed
from legitimate old-time banking
circles many dangerous financial
fpirates, who can be missed without
"a single tear.

Immense sums were retransferred
