siderably this season, an additional
list of fifteen having been submitted
to The Journal as a result of a de-

List Almost Complete
The list of Pensacola merchants
who are to observe the Friday after
noon closing rule is now nearly COM
plete, and business will be suspended
during the remainder of the summer
during each Friday AFTERNOONS practi-
cally all over the city. Merchants
say that better results are obtained
all around as a result of a relaxatf on
before the grind which is characteris-
tic of Saturday and Saturday night,
and that both the public and the pro-
prietors receive much better results
from the present order of affairs.
During the extreme heat, one after
noon during a week means much for
those who are confined In office and
behind counters, and il is a mark OF
progress on the part of Pensacola in
the Inauguration of such a system

, without them would be diverted in
to business, the Improvement of
homes and farms and the betterment
Of living conditions generally.
1t has been urged also that with
out the revenue of the saloons the
towns and counties would be brought
into financial straits. Again the
answer Is, that where the saloons
have been voted out and the law en-
forced, the criminal costs have been
decreased two-thirds OF more. An
examination OF the records will al
most invariably show that as the
number of saloons Is increased there
is a corresponding increase in the
item of criminal costs. Also, many
communities, by recent experience,
have found no detrimental effects
upon the troasuries from the loss of
saloon revenue.
That these statements are not
overdrawn, and that they are not a
mere creation Of an intOlerant and
enthusiastic imagination, is clearly
shown by the reading of letters pub
lished In this column from Mr.. ID.
b. Pankey, Cashier of the Bank of
kennett, who has had opportunity
to observe the workings of local OPP
ton for the past four years; from
Mr., +. w. Grant, cashier Of the
Galloway Bank, Fulton, where Local
Option has been in force only for
the last six or seven months; from
Judge j. l.. Fort of the 22nd Judicial
Circuit, who has been identified with
the enforcement of the law in Dunk
lin and Stoddard counties for the
past four years, and from Mr.. En-
NETT Williams, Prosecuting Attor-
ney of Madison county, where the
law has been In operation for the
past four years.
From the experience of the gentle
men quoted below, II can be definite
ly said that the saloon does not
benefit n community or county in
the matter OF revenue, business or
morals. While the argument above
is wholly confined to the financial
considerations, 1t ought to be borne
in mind that above money is man
hood; that more than revenue is re-
spect for ones self and neighbor.
In reading the following letters,
let 1t be remembered that they ex-
press not merely the opinions of in
dividuals, but consensus Of opin-
ion of wide circle of plain, com
nonsense business mon and others
actively engaged in public life.

Letter from Judge Fort.

Yours of the 9th ult. has just
been received and contents noted.
Answering have to say:
The 22nd Judicial Circuit is com
posed of two counties, towit: Dunk
lin and Stoddard. Local Option has
been in force in both these counties,
and in each and every village, town
and city In said counties for some
thing over five years.
Since Local Option went into
effect in this circuit, the criminal
docket thereof has gone down from
All average of five hundred cases
per year Including both felonies
and misdemeanors) to an average Of
seventy-flve cases per year Cinclud-
ing both felonies and misdemean-
ors.)
There Is not single human being
confined In any Jail or prison house
In the 22nd Judicial Circuit today,
and there have been few, indeed,
confined In any Jail or prison house
In the circuit during the past two
years. or course, our criminal
dockets, as printed, would show
somewhat greater number of crimi-
nal cases than / have named since
Local Option went into effect, but
this is explained by stating that
there are quite number of persons
under parol in this circuit and the
parol cases are printed on the docket
from term to term. ] do not dis
charge persons whom / parol, but
keep them under the eye and thumb
OF the court, ana so these cases are
put upon the docket Mt each term as
criminal eases.
Before the adoption of Local
Option the criminal costs Of this
circuit, to-wit: Dunklin and Stod-
ard counties, were more than three
times what 1t has been since the
adoption of Local Option. This is
easy to demonstrate. The State
Auditors office and the offices of
the county clerks of Dunklin and
Stoddard counties contain the figures
and they are accessible to all.
There is no comparison between
the general moral tone of our people
before and since the open saloon
was driven out. The conditions are
so much better since that an effort
to restore the open saloon would be
beaten by at least three to one.
There Is not blind tiger nor any
place where intoxicants are illegally
disposed of in this circuit, and there
Is not respectable citizen In the
circuit who will not corroborate this
statement. While we had the open
saloon we had deficit I'm our county
treasury and in the treasures of
every city and town in the county.
Now We have surplus in all of
them.
=. The rate of taxation has not been
raised nor is the assessed value of
our property much greater than 1t

From Madison County.

Fredcricktown, Mo-, Feb. Sth.
Dear Sir: In response to your in
quiry shall say that the Local OPP
ton law is fairly well enforced in
this county and has been for some
time past.
The effect has been beneficial to
the business interests of the people.
The employc has more money for
food and the employer has more
regular and sober workman to do his
work. The greater part of the money
that once went through the saloons
now goes into Legitimate avenues of
trade \ number of our leading
business men who were opposed To
Local Option are now its enthusiast
tic supporters. On the other hand |
have not heard of Il business man of
any standing who voted for the law
who would now consent to its re-
peal.
The idea that Local Option will
kill II town or county and render II
bankrupt is the biggest farce under
the sun. There Is nothing to that
argument. This town got rid Of
three saloons, lowered her tax ten
cents on the hundred and prospcred
as never before. The criminal costs
in Fredcricktown aud Madison coun-
ty are very low since the Local OPP
ton law went into effect. If we had
saloons our criminal costs would he
about three times what they are
now. No sir, the saloon does not
produce wealth, except for the sa-
loon keeper. All others effected by
it are losers morally, mentally and
financially.
Yours very truly,
EMMETT WILLIAMS,
Prosecuting Attorney.

Economic Considerations.

The argument that is oftenest used
by the advocates of the licensed sa-
loon is that It Is necessary as a rev.
enue producer. At first glance there
Is strength to the argument. The
total amount Of money paid into the
city, county and State treasures by
the saloons is impressive. What
shall we do without this revenue? Is
the question 1t suggests. The strength
of the argument rests upon the as
sumption that there will be no finan-
cial compensation II the saloon is
voted out.
The falsity of this argument APP
pears when tested by both reason
and the experience of recent years.
There is n financial compensation
from the voting out of the saloons
and n financial gain to the entire
community.
The saloon represents an extrava
CANT waste of money. The amount
paid in license is not to be compared
with the total that annually goes out
of the county to liquor dealers and
manufacturers An ex-saloon keeper,
one thoroughly familiar with the
business, estimates that the average
receipt of the saloon Is $1,000 per
day. The - saloons Of st. Francois
county, upon this basis, would take
in more than one half million dol
lars n year; the greater part of this
goes to the manufacturers and
wholesalers from whom they pur-
chase their supplies. II anything
this estimate is far too low. II this
represented money spent for me-
cessities, or even many OF the lux
uries of life, the argument would
not be valid, but il Is spent for that
which brings absolutely no return
along the lines of happiness or those
of development. On the contrary, n
yer. large lper cent of this total
comes from those who can least af-
ford to spend their income in such a
manner. 1t, therefore, represents
not only anSeconomic waste, but a
waste the influence of which is felt
by every member OF society to n
greater or less extent.
1t has been frequently stated that
voting the saloon out would be detri-
mental to business. The contrary
is true. Nearly all Of this one-half
million dollars spent in the saloons,

KILLED BY The MARSHAL.
Ambrose Grogan, a Former Bar
Keeper at Pennington, Killed
at Marion, III.

Ambrose Grogan, who formerly
kept bar at Mode Cotfman's saloon
In Pennington, and left here several
months ogo, was killed at Marion,
H., on the 9th inst. by the city
marshal. He was regarded, we
have been informed, as something
of n bully. Following is the account
of his shooting:
City Marshal William Ahney shot
and killed Ambrose Grogan and
Frank Blake on the street here late
last night.
Abney was .eX0ncrated by the
Coroner's jury, but was later ar
rested on warrant and Is being
held under II bond of 5000.
The Marshal says Grogan and
Blake were acting disorderly on the
streets, and he ordered them to go
to their homes. They refused him
and began to abuse him, and then
attacked him.
Blake clinched with him, he says,
and Grogan attacked him from the
other side. He drew his pistol and
fired first at Blake. The bullet
struck him in the neck and severed
an artery,
Then, Abner declares, he fired ut
Grogan, weose blows did not cease
when his companion fell. The bullet
struck Grogan in the left breast and
he fell to the ground. Both men
were dead before ply sician could
be summoned.
