HOWARD IN DETROIT
The Man from Rochester Captures Great
Crowd of Young People in Michigan's
Metropolis

DETROIT, MICH, April 16-(Special CORE
spondence) Clinton N. Howard captured an
audience of two thousand young people that
crowded the great auditorium of Woodward Ave
nue Baptist church in this city last night and
held them from eight to ten-thirty o'clock in an
address that was punctuated with repeated rounds
of enthusiastic applause. From the time of his
introduction to the close, he drew the fire of the
big crowd The meeting was under the joint
auspices Of the Baptist Union, Christian En-
deavor and Epworth League of Detroit, and
called out the largest audience of young people
assembled in this city in years, delegations arriv-
ing as early as seven o'clock.
Towards address was straight from the
shoulder, and Prohibition was preached without
variabeness or shadow that is cast by turning"
Great credit for the success of the demonstration
is due to Mr. Webb Dudley Doane, president of
the Baptist Young Peoples Union, chairman of
the committee, who is known as one of Defroits
aggressive young Prohibitionsts

gent of your ranks. A Republican convention
in Georgia may consume peanuts and
crackerJack than yours of recent date at Spring
field but their delegates have never yet repudiated
Abraham Lncolns idea of liberty for the modern
brand given them by the Chicago Liquor League.
The Illinois Republican convention of 1908
stands for class liberty against universal lib
erty and proposes to license for the money there
is in it the slavery of millions of Illinosans liv
ing and yet to live, to the bondage of drink.
Illinois Democrats have yet to act, but nothing
better is expected of them than to outbid the Re-
publicans for the dominant liquor vote of Chi
cago by standing for the liberty of the liquor
interests against the liberty of the whole people.
Illinois has given to the country two distinct
brands of liberty, the liberty taught by Abraham
Lincoln and the new type promulgated by the
Chicago liberty alias liquor, league" The
Republican convention of 1860 declared for uni
versal freedom and thousands of strong, big
hearted Illinois Republicans died for their con-
victions.
Liberty as taught by Abraham Lincoln meant
the liberty of the under, not over, the law.
The liberty of the Chicago Liberty League"
means the liberty of the man, the Glass; the in
terest, over the sovereign law of Illinois, not
under it. It stands for the thing above all
others destructive of the virtue and intelligence
OF the people.
hundred thousand mothers in Chicago say
to 5000 liquor dealers: "You capitalizing the
appetites of boys for drink. You are de-
stroying in them the great virtue of sobriety.
They not only Our children, but they are to
be the future citizens of this great city of the
West.
The reply comes straight rifle ball: ITO
- with the sobriety of your boys. We stand
upon our priceless liberty to sell liquor for the
money there is in it."
am a stranger in Chicago and I may be want
ing in intelligence, but l cannot understand the
distinction between an individual in pettcoats
talking anarchy in some back street and cam
didates for municipal office pledging themselves
in advance of election to notification of the law.
Notification? We used to hear a good deal
of that word back in the SOS. How time does
move!

Farm and Factory

The wants of are met almost entirely
from the farm and the factory Bulletin 81.
Census of Manufactures, page 24.) While the
farm products sell for five billions the factory
products bring nearly fifteen billions (see page
25). Hence, when find that ten millions of
drinkers will have under Prohibition two and
quarter billions of dollars saved from the saloon
drain to be spent for legitimate products, we see
that one-quarter will tend to farm products and
three-quarters to factory products Here, then,

LIQUOR TRAFFIC'S CLAIMS AND FACTS
BY A. R. HEATH

associate Editor Pr
Under this editorial caption, Response of Truth
to Error" in the Peoples National Monthly for
March, the writer of this article published an
answer to one of the posters issued by the
liquor men. The editorial was originally pre-
pared to be put in poster form and gave by
diagrams or graphs" vivid illustrations of it's
points in answer to the liquor misrepresenta-
tons. 1t has since been issued as leafet by
the Prohibition national committee.
Inasmuch as it promises Gree demonstra-
ton" of the truth of it's statements, the author
has prepared and presents here the following in
proof of its accuracy.
Enormous Drink Bill
The first point is as to the cost of the drink
traffic to the American public. 1t is represented
to be the enormous sum of two billion two hun
bred millions of dollars The items which go
to make up this vast total are set forth in detail
at the close Of the document with the official
authority for each item. So far as known no
attempt has been made by the liquor
to impugn the statement, for such would be an
argument against government records.
The remainder of the items in the first
graph" Or diagram consists of quotations from
the liquor mems poster, stating their Claims
as to monies "benevo1ently" expended by them,
purely for the benefit of the public They will
not dispute their own figures, although open to
successful challenge for exaggeration
The proof that these liquors 'are harmful
and poisonous to body, mind and character" and
that drink makes men less skilfu less indus
trious, less saving" is matter of public knowl-
edge 1t is such fact as comes under the OBJ
servation of all. The testimony is abundant, too
profuse to be here quoted. Anyone who desires
to see evidence, piled up and running over, on
this point is referred to the "American Prohibi-
ton Year Book for 1905" just issued, pages 10
to 43 inclusive, and pages So to rs inclusive.
"Over 100000 saloons" is the next assertion
This is derived from the report of the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue for 1907, pages
SO and &c.
The Army of Drinkers
"Ten millions of deluded drinkers This
statement is not a matter of government sta
tistcs, but is fairly and reasonably derived from
them. Inasmuch as the quantity of every kind
of liquor drank in the year is given by the
government, together with the number of sa-
loons it is readily seen how much liquor each
saloon sells the average. And as the selling
price is known, the receipts of each saloon per
year are evident 1t is found that the average
saloon sells about 43O drinks per day Of all
liquors. receiving about $25 per day, 365 days in

Golden Arrow
District Looks
Very Promising

John F. Hall, who is interested
with Colonel C, Drumm in a very
promising mining property in the
Golden Aroow district, arrived in the
city yesterday and brings good re-
ports from that camp.
Mr.. Hall and his partner. Mr..
Drumm, have just completed a 100
foot shaft on their property and are
now prosecuting for the vein. which
they expedite encounter within a few
days. This vein, which dipped out OF
the shaft at the th~irty-foot point,
carried values in telluride ore OF
$500 per ton, and was eighteen
inches in width. Picked samples
taken from the veins at various
points during development have
shown assays as high as $4,000 per
ton.
Mr.. Hall is enthusiastic over the
outlook for Golden Arrow and states
that he is confident that it will prove
one of the greatest camps in southern
Nevada. Paintings and assays can
be taken anywhere on the surface
over an area of ten square miles that
will show good values in both gold
and silver.
Development work on all the
claims in the district is being carried
steadily along, and all seem conf
dent of receiving good returns foi
their labors. Mr.. Hall will return
this morning to continue the work 0
development on his properties.

part of the lease covers the same con-
tact in which the rich ore on the
Kearns No. 2 was found, and con-
development here should ex-
pose as good ore bodies as have been
uncovered in its famous neighbor.
The company is 10Y formulating
plans for installing a power hoist on
both of the shafts for the purpose OF
sinking to greater depth. The recent
strike on the east slope of the hill has
encouraged the management to even
more aggressive development of this
very promising proposition than has
heretofore been followed, and this
lease is undoubtedly destined soon to
become one of the most important
producers in Rawhide.

Secure Control
Of Rich Lease

Another consignment of shipping

famous Truett lease on the estate Of
the Coalition Mines company. 1t is
being broken from the slopes at the
70-foot level and has an average val
ne of about 500 per ton. a large
tonnage Is being broken in the
slopes, one of which has been ex-
tended from level floor to surface.
The greater portion of the ore is be
ing piled on the dump, only that part
going to the smelter that Is put
through the grizzley and screen. Th'
dump ore has an average value o.
$40 per ton. No attempt is to be
made to ship it until such time al

SEVEN TROUGHS (Nev.), Sept.
24.-Seven Throughs is in the throes
of an excitement resulting from what
appears to be M of the most i'm
portant ore discoveries in the district
for a half-year. From the bottom OF
it's seventy-fve foot shaft, the Seven
Troughs Merger Mining company, OPP
Grating the Merger lease on the Their
len estate, and owner in addition of
several groups Of claims, has broken
into a strong vein containing a foot
of high grade ore, much of which is
picture rock. The discovery occurred
yesterday morning, when the contrac-
tors who are driving the crosscut, re-
turned to work and found the drift
half full of quartz that had been shot
out by the round of shots fired the
previous evening, much of which
quartz showed free gold to the naked
eye.
When the contractors, Messrs. Cut
Ter and GLASGOW, began to hoist the
muck the excitement began. The ma
terial that came from the crosscut
and was piled on the dump was cal
culated to create a stir and in less
than an hour great crowds wer'
"high-grading" for specimens of FREE
gold ore. Many beautiful and valu
able specimens were carried away b
the excited crowd. In addition to tn
foot of quartz, it has since been as
certained that the whole vein is i'm
pregnated more or less with gol
across several feet and constitute

ever opened up in the district.

the discovery for several reasons.
