81 notice by the papers there is a
gerat deal of agitation about Kansas
City, Kan, being bankrupt, same be-
ing caused by the closing of these sa-
looms. From my Investigations, which
have been very extensive, l find the
citizens of Kansas City, Kan, are
paying their grocer and meat bills
much more promptly than they did
when saloons were wide open. The
merchants generally would very
much dislike to see the liquor traffic
in effect again. consider the city
is better off in every sense of the
word under the prohibition law"

FROM IDAHO FALLS.

The display of the merchants par
ade on July 4th was a most remark
able exhibit of the growing wealth
and enterprise of this section. 1t
was truly an eye-opener to many. If
this parade had been held later in
the day the two liquor houses repre-
scented in it might have given a
graphic representation of the pro-
ducts of the business by few speci-
mems of the finished article to show
to Idaho Falls fathers and mothers
what some of their boys will be in a
few years under the patronage of this
industry. This great revenue maker,
at a license fee of $3.50 per year for
each business house, of course must
be kept going, though we all know 1t
takes boys, at least one out Of every
five, from our homes and schools, In
order to pay the expenses, fine horses,
carriages, license fees, etc. This in
dustry can no more run without boys
than an alfalfa huller can produce
seed without alfalfa. Come, all We
fathers and mothers, bring on your
boys. Bring on your girls to marry
the boys while in process of finishing.
verify, tears, broken hearts, spoiled
lives, ruined homes, all these are the
results of this industry. Bring on
your boys, for this industry must be
kept well to the front.-Times.

EVIDENCE FROM AMERICAN
FALLS.

People at American Falls, Idaho,
have been communicating with bust
ness men of Kansas City, Kansas,
about the results of prohibition there
and we take the following from The
American Falls Press of last week,
which speaks for itself.
The following testimonials of
bankers of Kansas City, Kansas, re-
garding the beneficial effects result
ing from the closing of saloons have
been received The letters may be
seen at this office. The first letter
is from the cashier of the Central
Avenue State bank, and his answers
follow the questions. The other let
tiers are signed:

Gentlemen:
We are in the midst of prohibit
ton fight in our village and are en-
deavoring to close up the saloons,
and wish to gain what information
we can from your experiences as a
prohibition city.
Has the saloon closing adversely
affected your business or otherwise?
Ans.-It has grown better.
Have saloon buildings remained
idle or been devoted to other uses?
Ans.-Some are idle. Owners won't
rent them.
Have any considerable number of
people a desire to return to the old
conditions?
Ans.-Yes. But the better class,
Have the public morals been i'm
proved?
Ans.-Very much.
Are saloons missed in maintain
ing your city government?
Ans.-No.
Have savings increased?
Ans.-Yes. Actually true.
Has the number of your paupers
increased or diminished under pro
hibition?
s.-Diminished
Any other information you fee
disposed to give us will be great!
appreciated, and we stand ready tt
reciprocate at any time. An early re
ply will greatly oblige us.
Ans.-We are better off,

No doubt many a saloonkeeper,
speaking of his honest convictions,
would agree with liquor dealer in
another city, who said, IF l were the
one to give a decision, and it rested
entirely with me, l would wipe out
the whole traffic in Intoxicating liq-
ours without moments hesitancy.
l agree with you that it is hostile to
good morals, and opposed to the bet
terment of humanity; and I regret
that circumstances are such that l
am compelled to remain in it. The

will say that the closing of saloons
did not affect our business as we have
been organized since the closing took
place.
Nearly all the buildings that were
used for saloons are now occupied
by reputable business concerns. Some
of the rooms were so disreputable
looking that they could not be occu-
pied, and these are idle.
Public morals have improved.
Savings have increased.
Saloon revenues are not greatly
missed as very little of 1t found its
way into the city treasury.
Paupers have diminished in num-
Der.
We believe the change will be for
the lasting benefit of the city.
Real estate values have constantly
increased, Notwithstanding the pan
ic," a disastrous flood and general
tightening in the money market. This
is certainly good omen for our city.

LETTER FROM HONOLULU.

To the resident of Honolulu, the
western world is spread out in relief
more fully than in our Pacific ports
of the United States. People from
everywhere come through Honolulu,
and passing on. they go everywhere
Returning they bring with them in
formation of the Orient and of the
islands everywhere, and through
them we come in touch with all the
places and all the races.
A race experiment station Is Hon
olulu, and her information bureau
is the active central point Of 1t. A
big inland town in the United States
comes in contact with states and To-
calities, but Honolulu comes In con-
tact with countries and empires. In
the great throbbing pulse Of humani-
ty as we meet 1t, we do not feel that
serene sense of security that one
feels in the heart of his own country,
for here we see more of the evidence
of the prowess and subtle force or
empires. backed by untold millions
of shaving fanatics who are now
struggling between fanaticism and
Christianity; between old methods or
the Orient and the new methods OF
the Occident and it's civilization.

their own country to spend their lives

their astonishing power Of imitation
and adoption make 1t an easy road

own.
For example, the Chinese are
adept at gardening, and although
they come among us In the United
States and make fortunes in truck
patches where Americans scarcely
make a good living, yet we do not
learn the ways by which they get SO
much out of so little ground. But
the Orientals are different: they come
among us and learn every detail OF
every trade and take 1t back to their
own nation to put into use. In this
