Frank xix, who was robbed on jan
uary 10 near the local station by Tom
Uricchio and Pasquale Rnbano, since
then being held as a witness to go be

day. The prisoners have escaped and
there is no likelihood of their being
captured, SO it was useless to hold
xix longer.

writer in the Northeast Argus
ably disposes Of this piece OF mendac-

III prohibitionists were truth tell
v ing would have more sympathy for
them and their cause. In the Pro-
hihition Department read the fol-
lowing: I'm view of the fact that the
IegnIized saloon Is the cause Of nine
tenths OF all the crime and misery
and suffering, why not close the sa-
looms and put them out of existence
for once and all? The same writer
assumes that whena monomaniac in
I sists on starting fires that he be
locked up.
\ Now, every f.ir-minded man knows
that the saloons are not the cause OF
nine.tenths OF all the crime and mis-
cry snd suffering. Right here is
where the prohlbitionists are mono
naniacs on the saloon question and
according to the prohibition press
correspondent they should be locked

Killed There is no logical analogy
between biting dog and the saloons.
The biting dog goes about biting
people, while the saloons stay at
home for people to go there to get
bit But very small percentage of
people get bit by biting dogs and a
very small percentage of people that
commit crime, and are made miser-
able are caused to commit crime and
( to suffer by the saloons. The saloons
relieve more suffering than they
make: they are a solace to millions
of people in this world of sorrow and
pain. that cannot find relief from the
burdens that are imposed upon them.

differ from anything else in this
world; It Is mixture of good and
