A GOOD MAN GONE.

Aldrich was that man. His death re-
moves another of the notable figures
the men who have done their part in
the making of Iowa from prairie ter
ritory into a magnificent agricultural
commonwealth and a leader among the
states in all that goes to create the true
greatness of a people and a nation.
He was typical Iowa pioneer and
of the high type that has left it's last
ing impress upon our institutions and
our laws and the common thought
e.nd conviction of Iowa. Clean minded
high of aim, possessed of large men

withou, the greed that diverts energy
from its higher levels, Aldrich has
served others more than himself All
ord of his life is one of public service
and without stain. This is a great
and splendid statement to be made
with absolute truth above an open
grave.
What did he leave? Not much to be
devised by will or expended upon

too often undeserved; but in the capt.

is all too short for the work of great

no man may labor. Then night and
the rest of the night. To have worked
while the light endured, to have kept
faith with mankind and ones own soul,

GOOD AND THE CAUCusEs.

In resourcefulness the Cedar Rap

on to turn complete summersault and
come up on its feet ready to take ad-
vantage of any situation, no matter
how unexpected. For this reason, its
argument now that the defeat of pros
gressives in the Cedar Rapids eau
cuses was vote against Good for con-
gress. is not surprising. On the day of
the caucuses, when the result was un-
certain and much at stake, the Repub-

manifesto that the congressional issue
was not involved. mo congressional

WHAT is A RESERVE?

When a thrifty farmer keeps corn
in the crib, grain in the bin from one
crop to another he may be said to be
holding reserve. When the prudent
house holder fills woodshed or a. coal
bin with fuel which he does not need,
is he not holding reserve? Now
wherein do the bank reserves differ
from those mentioned above? Are they
not supplies to be drawn upon when
ever necessity demands? If so, why Is

low a certain point?" The Observer

Better Business Conditions.

Have our merchants and bankers COM
planned of loss of business under local
option Personally speaking, being my
self merchant, pledge you my word
that besides having more peace of mind,
more JOY in conducting my business af-
fairs, the profits Of my business have
far exceeded those Of the same period
of time during the continuance of the
saloons. Other business men have
given similar testimony. So throughout
the county"
''As to hotels. we still have them and
in improved form. because of the alb
sence of bars. They are all kept and
highly prosperous. Also are they pleas
ant places to the most morally exacting
of persons. Some families now take
their meals at the hotels. One hotel
averages % to 80 customers of that
class each day. Righteousness exalts a
community. II never crushes.
What is the effect upon your criminal
dockets ? Comparatively no cases of an
alarming nature. But, sad to say, we
have some men on the outskirts of Sal
lsbury who get themselves into trouble
by too frequent imbibing of whiskey
imported from Worcester County,
Would Salisbury have saloons again ?
NO ! That is a most emphatic negative.
II was doubly emphasized at a mass
meeting recently held in the town, the
assembled people voicing themselves as
being perfectly satisfied with present
conditions.
What effect has Worcester County
on Salisbury and the rest Of Wicomico
County? The petty crimes Of Wicomico
are largely due to the importations Of
rum from Worcester County. Friends
Of Worcester, we cannot get the pin
hole puncture in the map of prohibition
counties of the Eastern Shore, until
Worcester County removes the whiskey
jug from its neighbors steps. With
this help. along with the enactment of
the pending State Local Option Bill,
with its inspecting clause prohibiting
shipment of whiskey to dry districts,
we shall still further increase our stand
ing as local option territory. Friends.
help us
II would say that it is much to our
advantage that Sussex County is now
dry. We hear of no deaths now on the
railroad track from Delmar to Salisbury,
such being of frequent occurrence when
there were saloons open in Delmar.
Many cases might be cited that would
show the difference between having a
whiskey neighbor and sober neighbor.

Prosperity Under Prohibition

What about the County at large?
Well, in 1903 under license Of saloons the
taxable basis was $6, 000, 900. o. in
1907. since local option weni into effect,
the taxable basis is $1,000, 000 %. The
population of the county has been large
ly augmented. Great demands for our
farms. Five busy real estate agents.
New blood coming from all quarters
Everything better than before. When
we had saloons, with taxable property
to the amount of Sc, 900, 900 the School
Treasurer called on our County Treasur-
er for 20 cents on the 500 to make the
SIP. 000. 90 needed for the support of the
schools. which sum is in addition to the
State appropriation. There has been
! no change from the 20 cent rate but
the increase in the taxable basis has
fully met the increased demand of the
School Board. In addition to this, the
County Commissioners paid last year
SO. 900. 90 on the High School Bonds
So that you see that we are now far bet
ter conditioned than when we depend
ed upon the saloons for revenue with
which to run our schools. We have
done away with educating our children
with ill-gotten gains.
What of the growth of the schools ?
They are now overflowing There has
been an increased number of pupils as
high as so per cent incident to the in
crease of our population since Salisbury
became dry. We have longer school
terms and better paid teachers. The
children attend school more regularly
Also are better clothed and fed"
What concerning the churches /?
Many new agencies of church work es-
tablshed More spirituality among the
people. The work of the church is
always more successful without saloons.
We have found it so. Experience is a
valuable teacher.
