AGAINST SALOON LICENSE
Prof. Perisho Spoke at the City Hall
Sunday Afternoon on the
Licence Question.

The. first of a series of meetings
that are to be held In this city on
the matter OF saloon licenses as they
pertained to Mitchell previous to the
annual city election, was held in the
city hall Sunday afternoon. 1t was
arranged by the Civic Federation,
which has the interests OF the city
at heart in doing away with tie
saloons.
Rev. Edward M. LETTERS, pastor of
the Baptist church, presided at the
meeting, which was begun with a
song service, at the end of which
there vas a very large crowd assem-
bled. the larger proportion Of which
vas men. DR.. 81. S. Wilkinson Of
fered a prayer in sympathy with the
occasion.
Superintendent Grafton, of the
Anti.Saloon League, made a few
statements concerning the coming
campaign, not only in Mitchell but
in South Dakota with reference to
the county option. He had two
large maps displayed-one of South
Dakota showing the danger points in
the way OF licensed saloon and
another showing the 81 cities in
seventeen states wherein prohibition
prevailed.
The speaker of the afternoon was
Prof. e. G. Perisho, a member of
the state university faculty at YER
million. The speaker gave his rea.
son for entering upon the temper
ance platform the information that
he gathered from a brewers con-
vention in New York, in which one
speaker before that convention urged
his fellow rcwers that on returning
home it slould be the policy OF all
10 start a system of treating the
boys, t at the nickies given away
now would come back into their
Golfers in the shape of dollars In
later years. 1t was that which
impelled him to go on the platform
in an effort to save the boys and
girls OF this state and prevent the
saloons from recruiting to their
ranks the boys who are today grow
ing into manhood.
Prof. Perisho spoke OIL the subject,
"Shall intoxicating liquors be sold
at Retail 10 Mitchell?" In leading
up to the direct application Of
his theme the speaker referred in a
general way to the amount OF money
that is spent in a year over the bar
of the saloons OF this country, which
he placed at 81, geo. 600, 900, and that
it took 800, DOC, 900 a year to prose-
cute the criminals as a result of the
saloon, and $50, 600, 900 to maintain
these criminals after they have been
prosecuted. He said that in the
city of Chicago. a leading newspaper
declared that 80 to 8s per cent Of the
crimes committed in that city was
the direct result of the saloon and
that over the country in general that
IS to IS percent of the crimes we're
traceable to the same cause.
Touching on the question of the
saloon in Mitchell, Prof. Persiho said
that in his opinion the business
interests would not be effected In the

Twenty-Five years In selling shoes
Is the record of...C. W. Gillis and he
rather celebrates the period of bust
ness activity by moving into one Of
the finest appointed..shoes stores In
the state. Mr.. ellis is now located
in his handsome apartment Ia the
Western National bank building, on
the corne of..Main street, and Third

are filled with 5000 pairs Of shoes,
which are constantly. carried in the
salesroom. Mr.. ellis has but n
pair of shoes of the many varieties
he has on hand in the store room,
but a look into the large basement
below shows che very large and ex-
tensive stock that he carries. Mr..
ellis has a stock registry in which
is recorded every pair of shoes that
he sells and the stock IN the sales.
room is thus kept supplied every day
from the basement.
While Mr.. ellis carries a large
number of different lines of shoes,
with a wide range of sizes and widths,
he makes a speciality of the Gibson
3irl shoe for the ladies and the
Bostonian for the men. These two
shoes have built up a fine reputation
for Mr.. ellis, because he is capable
of making a shoe fit, and that is
what pleases his hundreds of patrons.
Along through the center of the
storeroom are placed comfortable
chairs for the customers to sit while
being fitted with shoes, which has
been arranged at great expense.
Mr.. ellis is receiving his spring
stock at the present time aud the
variety of styles that he is able to
present afford the buyer of footwear
an unusual opportunity to make his
selection. He buys directly from the
manufacturer in many cases and is
thus able to get his shoes to the
wearer by the shortest route and
saving money to his customers.
AS an evidence that Mr.. ellis is
doing something in the shoe line,
his sales for the past two years have
reached very large proportions. In
these two years he has sold %. 900
pair of shoes, from the largest to the
smallest, each year, which fully
attests the popularity Of his shoes
and his methods of dong business.
Mr.. ellis has equipped a fine
repairing department in a balcony in
the rear OF the store, and beneath
which is the rubber department, in
which he carries a very large and
complete variety.
Mr.. ellis would be pleased 10 have

NEW YORK SUN ON SUGAR TARIFF

The first of this week the Ways and
Means Committee of the House will
hear the arguments of those who are
interested in a revision of the tariff on
sugar. There have been marked
changes in conditions but there is no
reason to expect any change in the ar
guments, 1t will doubtless be the old
battle over again,
Our sugar consumption is now APP
proximately 100000 tons a year, an
increase of 100000 tons since the
Dingley tariff went into effect. Includ-
ing the uses of the commodity for all
purposes industrial and domestic, a
total Of not far from 100000 900 a year
is a reasonable estimate of the sugar
bill of the American people. A liberal
valuation of the cost of production
plus the freight from Cuba Porto Ri
co, Hawaii, Java and other points of
supply and plus an additional allow
ance for planters profits, would be in
the neighborhood of $3.50, The
remaining $250,000,0O is accounted for
broadly by the cost and profits of re-
filming, by the customs revenues and
by the financial benefits accruing to
producers of American cane and beet
sugar, whether in this country or in
Porto Rico or Hawaii There should
also be included the cost of handling
and distribution and the profits o.
dealers IA
The consumption of 1898, about q
000.0 tons, was represented by about
1913 per cent of imported sugar SUBJ
ject to duty and about 27.7 per cent
of domestic product. A materia
change has been made in these per
centages by the increase In Hawaiian
output, the free admission of sugar
from Porto Rico, and the development
Of the domestic been industry. TIL
duty free supply of 1907 amounted tt
about AZ per cent. of the total. TIL
leading contestants in the struggle TO
high duties on sugar are the produc
ers of beet sugar. For more than tel
years they have asserted that the Anne
rican beet would almost immediatel.
supply all the sugar required in tn
American market and there have beel
prophecies that this country woult
soon become an exporter of the com
modify.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-12-08

The industry has grown from an
output of about 10000 tons In 1898
to about 100000 tons. This quantity
not only fails to supply our total de-
mand, it does not even keep pace with
the increase in consumption.
Using the fact as a statement and
not as an argument for lower tariff,
it may be said that the beet industry,
important though it may be, costs the
American people about $100,000,000 a
year. One-half of the sum goes to the
Treasury of the United States in the
form of duties on imported sugar, and
the remainder goes to the producers
of beet sugar in the West and to the
growers of cane in Louisiana, Ha-
wall and Porto Rico. II is more than
probable that only the aggressive ac-
tivity and the stubborn opposition of
the beet sugar companies prevent a
material reduction in sugar duties and
sugar prices.
The fact that our total consumption
has increased 80 per cent in ten years,
and the further fact Of about SO per
cent Increase In consumption per ca
plta, may be regarded as indications
that the present price of sugar is no
heavy economic burden, but if any
change is made in rates the move
ment should be downward. Our rela-
lions with Cuba are an important fac
tor in the situation. About three
quarters Of our duty paid supply comes
from that island. Any change that
affected Cuba adversely might and
probably would serve only to bring
about a repetition of earlier conditions
there when economic distress was the
provoking cause of political disorder
Another disturbance in the island
would lead to a third and doubtless
permanent occupation, with annexa'
ton as the undesirable but inevitable
outcome. The advocates of an eX'
IRENE protection for domestic sugars
whether cane or beet, will show wis
dom by keeping clearly in mind the
