 'lt is a matter 0i common knowledge that blind pigs, or places for the se- cret and unlawful sale Oi intoxieat- ing liquors. are relatively more nu- mereus and far more pernieiOus in pro- hibitiOn districts than they are in li- censed districts. wherein the tempta- tiOn to maintain blind pigs is much less and wherein all licensed dealers have a direct pecuniary interest in suppressing the unlicensed traffic. Comment on the claim of one and the answer Of the other is hardly ne- cessary. The statement of the first Is met by the findings of the other. and the figures in the Maine jail report as quoted, bear the latter out. The first Is the statement of an idealist, the an swer the unbiased findings of the prac- tical man.
 COMPARATIVE JAIL EXPENSE
 In Minnesota the commitments were never for greater period than ninety days, while in prohibition 1 Maine they covered a period of as much as two years, and in several cases more. The official figures in prohibit | show that the taxpayers of that State had to go down in their pockets to the extent of over $50, ,000 for board of prisoners, over one-half of which was because of the intemperate use of in- toxicating liquors, and with no return in the shape of license revenue.
 In the forty-nine counties in Min nesota, which equalize the whole of Maine in size and population, all the taxpayers put up for board and main tenance of all prisoners was about $500 This covered all commit ments.
 But as an offset there was collected in these forty-nine counties in license money the sum of S730000.
 l In speaking of the forty-nine coun- ties in Minnesota which are used for 1 purposes of comparison, it might be well to note that they include Winona with a population of nearly 20. 900, and a dozen other fair-Sized cities, cosmo- politan in character. and which will compare fayorably with any center of population in prohibition Maine.
 Delying further into the proposi- ton CT convincing things, over 500, GOO of the population of Maine is native born In Minnesota there are as many foreign born citizens. In this New England State the population, | through the medium of it's schools and it's pulpits, not to speak of the prohib- itory laws on it's statute books. has had the benefit of hfty-six years of anti-liquor education. Minnesota with it's heavy foreign born population, has brought from the mother country ideas materially Tn conflict with any reStric- tion covering it's appetite for. and pleasure had. in the use of so-called intoxicants. and yet it's proportion of intemperance and the evils credited to the same are greatly under that of prohibition Maine.
 It begins to look as if the prohibit ttonistS and their allied interests would have to change their articles of faith and their tactics in the pr0mui- gation of the same The Anti-Saloon

Pensacola. Fla. Aug. 1s-(speciai)-
Today was the Quietest experienced in
Pensacola since Thursday when a negro
ravished Mrs. Edward Moclair. s
The crowds which have heretofore

cause for the quietness Is that II be-

Milton is the right party although he
refuses to make any public announce

negro. It was also stated that the
sheriff has made up his mind to go to
