Questions Success of Prohibition.

Rock Island, Nov. 11-Editor Argus:
1t is gratifying TO see that prohibition
is making such rapid strides through
out the country, but it may well be
asked-is prohibition a success?
Personally l believe in prohibition,
and if it were in my power, | would
be glad to stop absolutely the manu-
facture and sale of liquor of all kinds
excepting such as would be used for
medical purposes. Though the OBJ
jects of prohibition may be many, we
will consider here only it's main OBJ
ject. Bonafide prohibitionists are
those who are not actuated by selfish
motives-those who, seeing the vice
and misery directly CD traceable tc
liquor, would eradicate this vice and
misery by stopping the manufacture
and sale of liquors.
1t is of those bonafide prohibitionists
that | asks prohibition usccess
in the prohibition campaign of few
days since, 1000 children paraded the
streets of southern city, carrying
banners and signs reading: CLOSE the
saloons and l will have more clothes
to wear" and "Close the saloons ana
we will have more to cat" and many
other signs similar to these. Evidently
the contention is that if the parents
of these children are unable to spend
their money for liquor, they will spend
it for the benefit of their children AMI
themselves. Conceding this. | believe
that the advantage to the children AMI
to their parents is only temporary.
In fact. it is in the nature of things
bound to be So Prohibition is good in
itself. but like all reforms which fail
to strike at the root of the evil, the
benefits of this reform are not lasting,
indeed they can not be so.
Consider for instance. what is the
effect of prohibition on land values?
Any well informed prohibitionist will
admit that prohibition of itself in
creases land values. The prohibitionist
figures that prohibition will cause the
saloon hanger on to so to work
Conceding this. we find that when
the saloon hangers on" become use
full laborers, (by laborers | mean any
one doing manual or mental labor
land values are again increased by
their effective demand for the use oI
land.
| This demand may and probably will
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-11-12

be, indirect and hardly noticeable. but
it will be none the less effective on
that account. We see then, % that
the passage TO a prohibition law in
creases the land values of a comraun-
ity; CD and that the effect of such 4
law in force again increases land val
ues. Now, land values being "econo-
mic" rents, a rise of land values means
and is, a rise of rents. Considering
this, we are unavoidably led to the
conclusion that what prohibition takes
from the saloon and Joint keeper" it
gives to the land lords, and as | have
said, though prohibition may give a
temporary advantage to the children
crying for more food and clothing, the
advantage is lost as soon as the iron
laws of nature work reimbursement
in social conditions, and in the enl
these children have no more food AMI
clothing than they had before
AS to its effect on morals, it is pos
sible that here and there prohibition
may improve them, but SO long as we
support institutions which rob the peo
pie of their birthrights no very general
Improvement can be wroth. We edu
cate our boys and girls and then 0eny
them the right of earning an honest
| living, by denying them birthright anl
! by selling through high, immoral and
unjust taxes, all that their labors vii!
produce beyond just what they must
have for bare living. We support
nay we hold sacred, institutions which
condemn millions of children, Ito say
nothing of their parents) to life o.
misery and degradation in the slums
of Cur cities, and then We expect 70
pump morality into them by means 81
prohibition and other similar laws.
Is it to be wondered at that men an
women take to strong drinks, who a"e
by unjust human laws, denied the un-
alienable rights which their Creator
gave then1-the right to the use of
land-and to. the use of air-and 20
the use of sunshine?
l repeat, prohibition in itself is gooi
but vice, crime and misery do not
spring from liquor; liquor springs
from, and the demand for it is stimu
lated by vice, crime and misery, and
all can be overcome only by one meth
! Cd That method consists of the res
toration TO the disinherited of theil
inheritance. Give back to those whom

New York Club Fined.

The National Baseball commission
yesterday passed upon several impor-
tant cases, while number of others
equally as important were either laid
over or taken under advisement. The
New. Orleans club was given judS-
ment of $1,000 against the New YORK
National league club for the latter' 5
violation of its contract to play out a
certain number of games in New o.

team played two games there with the
Philadelphia Americans, but dispute
arose and it refused to play the re-
naming games, and the New Orleans
club claimed it had been damaged.

Cyclone Thompson Fails to Earn a De
cision Over Kid Goodman in TO-
Round Go at Boston,

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 12.-An ec
fort is now being made by the authori-
ties here to kill off the fighting game
in Los Angeles, where it has flourished
uninterruptedly for several years.
The city council has passed an ordi-
nance limiting all contests to 10
rounds, requiring the contestants II
wear six ounce gloves and forbidding
any decisions by the referee.
This measure, it is considered, prac-
tically will reduce the battles to mere
exhibitions, and of course will prevent
absolutely anything like further chan.-
pionship ring contests.
All the measure needs to become a
law is the mayors signature, and this
it is believed, will be given.
McCarey and other fight promoters
are greatly discouraged about the stu
alton. although it is believed the per
mission of 10 round events may make
it possible to keep the sport alive herr
until more favorable legislation cal
be enacted.
