BUSINESS BODIES
IN FAVOR OF UNION
Chamber of Commerce and
Trade Board Favor
Consolidation.
Arrangements VIII Be Made
by Committees From
Organizations.

Not only are the directors of the
Board Of Trade in favor of amalgama-
ton with the Chamber Of Commerce as
proposed, but a large majority Of the
rank and file OF the membership have
declared themselves as favoring one
central body Of citizens
A canvas of a majority Of the mem
bers OF the Board of Trade was made
recently for the purpose of ascertaining
the feeling regarding consolidation of
the business bodies Of the city, with the
result that about IS per cent of the $40
men interviewed declared themselves un-
qualihedly in favor of union.
Strongly in Favor.
IN addition to this about $50 members
OF the Board of Trade are members
Of the Chamber Of Commerce. and these
men are strongly in favor Of one or
ganiZation.
I would rather pay twice the amount
of dues that am now paying, provided
IL were into one organization so that SO
much would not be wasted is the eX-
preston used by many in giving their
opinions upon the adyisa bility of one
organization.
Civic Improvements.
A few object to the combination be-
cause they believe the Board of Trade
has a peculiar function % perform IN
the direction of civic improvements,
the public health. and other matters
non-commercial in their character, and
that the old organization should con-
TRUE this work alone.
This objection, however, is met by the
argument that with one organization
this work could more readily be car
ried on, because It would represent the
citizens more generally and carry more
weight with the Commissioners and
Congress for that reason
Working Our Details.
Secretary William +. Guide, OF the
Chamber Of Commerce, today officially
forwarded to President Cuno II. Ru-
dolph, OF the Board of Trade, the reso-
Iutions adopted at the meeting Of the
directors on Tuesday declaring for con-
solidation, and inviting the appointment
OF a committee for that purpose by the
directors of the Board of Trace.
That the matter Will soon come up,
and a committee appointed at the meet
ing Of the directors next Tuesday, seems
assured by a poll OF the directors made
Yesterday This poll showed q clear ma
iority for union in the board. With Of
flcers md members alike in favor of the
plan the actual working out Of the de-
tails will undoubtedly be completed soon.

SPINNERS WON'T PLANT COTTON
Engishmen Abandon Plan of Buying Mississippi Planta
tons Southern Cotton Farmers Not Making Money

1t is stated in a Manchester eng
land) dispatch that the Lancaster
cotton spinners have abandoned the
plan of purchasing cotton plantations
in Mississippi and growing cotton for
their mills, for the reason that the
law against aliens holding real es-
tate is an impeachment. 1t will be
recalled that this plan was practi-
cally decided upon at the time the
Cotton Spinners' Association held
its meeting in Atlanta last year.
The plan was never one that prom
ised altogether satisfactory results.
II the Lancashire spinners were very
much in earnest they could very
readily have the necessary lands pur-
chased by Americans and held by
residents in this country-at least
they could advance the necessary
money with which to purchase the
lands and have them cultivated for
their interest. 1t is doubtful if they
would find the undertaking a profita-
BILE one. The labor problem would
be troublesome one to solve salts
factorily and the management of the
proposed cotton plantations would be
costly. The real truth probably is
that the Englishmen, having gone
into the subject pretty thoroughly,
came to the conclusion that it would
be cheaper to buy their cotton, Just
as they are doing now, and let the
farmers of this country raise the cot
ton.
They were induced to think of
making the experiment by what they
considered the very high price of
cotton. AS a matter of fact, however.
the cotton farmers are not making
any great amount of money at the
present price. So far as we know
not one of them has become a mil
lionaire since the price of cotton has
advanced to something like what it
ought to be. 1t is doubtful if even
at the present price the farmers could
make both ends meet, as it were, if
it were not for the fact that so much
of the labor of planting, cultivating
and harvesting the crop was not done
by members of their own families.
If all the work in the producing of
a crop had to be done by hired labor,
at the present prices of labor, the
percentage of farmers who would be
able to make a god showing on the
credit side of their books would be

ILLINOIS IN RECENT ELECTION

Prohibition Wave in 1884.
Illinois has given the latest testt-
nonial to the steadily increasing
national popularity of the prohibi-
zion movement. After May three
million inhabitants of that state Will
be living in territory in which liquor
is not sold. Fifty-three thousand OF
the states $4,000 square miles will
be dry. In SO counties there VIII
not be a licensed saloon. Ten hum
dred and twenty-eight townships will
have voluntarily put liquor out OF
their borders.
Such are the results of Illinois cleo
sions held last November and last
week. And the fight there has only
lust begun, according to Chairman
Wilson of the state prohibition com
mittee. The saloon question will be
a paramount issue" in the campaign

and it will continue to be an issue
until the legislature has passed a pro-

5000, 100000 FOR ADVERTISING
The Ink Used Would Float the Pa.
Cific Fleet,


Advertisements in the United
States have a circulation of more
than a quadrfllfon readers annually,
and the national bill for advertising,
according to figures collected by Ap-
pleton's magazine, reaches the enor
nous sum of $60O,OOO,O0O The pa
per upon which these advertisements
are printed would cover all the New
England states and part of New
York, while the ink used would make
lake large enough to float the fleet
which IS now in the Pacific.
Newspapers alone, according to
these statistics, receive nearly $500
100000 annually for advertising
while monthly periodicals, whose de-
velopment is peculiarly American
print every year 80 times the equiva-
lent of the contents of the Bible and
all the dramas of Shakespeare COM
bined.
While classification of all kinds
OF ads and their number would he

the want ad of the daily paper leads
all others in its own peculiar fold

opment for reaching the purchasing

POETS ENLISTED FOR BOOZE
Prohibition RhymsteFs and Motto
Makers Have Rival and Must
Work for the HOnOrs,

The prohibitiOnists have demon
strated the effectiveness of poems,
pictures and quips to such an extent
that the cohorts of King BarleycOrn
have followed suit. In the recent
Illinois campaign many postcards
were sent out by the "wets" In eff
forts to win votes.
On one of the cards the imagina-
tive artist has shown a frantic pro-
hibitiOnist after election smashing
prohibitionist notices with ham
mer when he gets a notice of in
crease in taxes in Dry Town
And here is the lament which is
credited to this man with the ham
mer:
Nobody works in our town
Haven't thing to do;
Business gone to blaZes,
Saloons and markets, too.
Farmers gone to Wet Town;
OF us they're awful shy;
Sales way down and taxes up
Since we went dry.
The next effusion is Illuminated
with the picture of a heartbroken
bartender, for whose benefit is sung:
Hush, little "barkeep,"
Don't you cry;
You will be a druggist
By and by.
The next pictures an overworked
drug store and a vacant saloon, with
this chunk of wisdom from the poets
typewriter:
Ring out the old style:
Bring in the new:
Close up the dramshops.
And factories, too.
Wine is a mocker,
We will drink it no more:
We can now get a good lag
At the corner drug store.
And so it went through a long
series.

TIGHTER GROWS PROHFS GRIP ON THE NATION

bition in Illinois is the battle that is
now being waged between the local
optionists and their opponents in
Pennsylvania This state is the only
wholly wet" commonwealth east of
the Mississippi river, with the excep-
ton of it's neighbor, New Jersey.
Temperance workers consider the
situation in Pennsylvania especially
critical because the state is regarded
as the home and greatest present
stronghold of boss rule, which, the
Anti-Saloon League forces have al
ways contended, is closely allied with
the saloon.
Up to the present hour two-thirds
of the territory of the United States
has abolished the saloon by law.
There are 36,000.00O persons living
under local option and prohibition
law Forty years ago there we're
only 100000 persons living in ter
ritory where liquor selling was pro,
hibited by law. Since then the pop
ulation of the country has doubled.
But the number of persons living in
'dry" territory has increased ten
fold.
South Nearly All Dry.
In the southern states, where the
anti-liquor sentiment is strongest,
there are 100000 persons. OF
this number 100000 are under
prohibitory and local option laws.
The number of persons living in
dry territory has doubled in the
! last eight years. In the last eight
months the saloon has been driven
from an area of 230,420 square miles
in the southern states. By the first
day of January, 1909, there will not
be legalized saloon in this entire
territory.
In 1854 wave of sentiment
against the liquor traffic spread over
the northern section of the country
Nine northern states went dry in
1855. Since then all but three states
Maine, Kansas and North Dakota
have repealed the prohibitory acts
Georgia was the first state to adopt
statewide prohibition south of the
Mason and Dixon line. The passage
of the prohibition law was regarded
J as a great victory. AS a matter OF
fact, it affected only Is counties
Previous to the passage of the act
1876 out of $50 counties had gone dry
through local option.
