day under the joint auspices of the Young Mems

unusual incidents was the stopping of Mr.. How

borer; SIS of capital invested to pay $1.oo to
laborer and $500 of capital to pay $1.OO for raw
materials
Making still another comparison, we discover
that in the classified industries" Of the country
$1OO is paid to labor for every $3.50 of product
produced while in the brewing business labor
gets only $1OO for every $3.50 of products.
Also in the general industries of the country
$1OO is paid for raw materials for every $1.74
of products, while in the brewing business the
ratio of value of raw materials to products is
Only $1OO of raw material to $3.97 of products
The importance of these facts to the farmer
and the wage-earner needs hardly to be dwet
upon. Not only is the liquor traffic an enormous
thief the results of whose stealing Cypress every
honest industry and every industrious man, but,
judged by the tests which apply to the legiti-
mate industries of the country, it is Improbable

OKLAHOMA'S "DISPENSARY"
Features of the Enforcement Law Recently
Adopted in New Prohibition State

GUTHRIE, OKLA, April 4.-(By the Associated
Prohibition Press)-The new law enforcement
measure called the Billups law, which has lust
been placed upon the statute books by the state
legislature, has been distorted and misrepre-
sented in the news dispatches sent all over the
country. 1t has been stated that the bill is prac-
tcally repeal of the Prohibition law that the
legislature has played the part of traitor to the
people and forced upon the state a dispensary
system as bad as that which Tilman foisted
upon South Carolina
There is absolutely no truth in these state
ment9 and on the contrary the law will provide
the most efficient means possible to aid the en-
forcement of the Prohibition amendment as
adopted at the polls last September The Bill
lups law among other things provides a state
agency to supervise "dispensaries" which will
sell liquor only on physicians certificate The
doctor who gives fraudulent certificate will be
subject to fine of $1,000 and thirty days in

CHAPMAN ON TRAFFIC
Great Evangelist Tells Philadelphia Peo
What He Thinks of Saloon

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 30 Special CORE
spondence) -Three thousand people cheered DR..
]. Wilbur Chapman III red hot indictment OF
the saloon at Garrick theater yesterday. This
city has not witnessed such an awakening in
years as that on in the midst of the Chap
campaign, conducted by than one
hundred helpers in all parts of the CITY, Sew
eral theaters are filled at noon daily with i'm
mense throngs. Yesterdays meeting at the Gar
rick of notable power, and DR.. Chap
mans assault upon the saloon was accorded an
unusual demonstration of endorsement. Dr.
Chapmans subject was "The Perils of the Sa-
oon,' and he did not confine himself to the per-
lis of drinking; he rang true the perils of the
Christian voter. DR.. Chapman said
Il would rather beg and go with my family
to the poorhouse than be in business which
has to its credit the destruction of so many and
the breaking of so many hearts. If there ever
time when should be aroused to bat
ter down the wall of iniquity which has been
built around these hellish places it is now. Have
courage! Don't vote to license saloon and
then approach the communion table and partake
of the sacraments. | tell you it is a sacrilege
to do such thing
Don't you think it is high time that the gov
eminent should take some move against this
crime of crimes? Just think how quickly the
saloon would be routed out of existence if those
people at Washington would start something
This talk of protection is all very we'll in its
place, but what is there that needs more pro-
lection than the boys and girls of our grea,
country? Should we ignore all help for our lit
tie ones that there may be protection of Ameri-
industries?
with every drop of blood in my body will
tight the saloon if it costs me my life. I'm
against the business in its entirety, and there
will be no compromise. There is only one posi-
ton for the Christian man to take and that is
against the saloon. There is middle ground,
especially in these days when the temperance
revival movement is sweeping from one end Of
the land to another. You must be for or against,
and God grant that you may be against
Il would sooner have taken from them live
Goals than the money they gave to the poor I'd
tell them to stop making persons poor, and then
they would have need of contributing to their
support. 1t is the saloon that is solely respon-
sible for the poverty and hard times, the crushed
manhood and the broken-hearted womanhood
Rather than take such tainted money, | would
pave the streets with the broken hearts of women
and the crushed lives of little Children to point
out, in a meager way, the disastrous effects of
drink"

THE NATIONAL PRoHIBnfoNIsT

when we compare the brewing business directly
with some other lines of manufacturing This
is done in Table l. presented in connection with
this article, in which grouped few lines OF
business selected for their approximation to the
brewing business in capital used. Attention may
be particularly called to the shipbuiding indus
try which is included in the table, although not
situated so closely to the brewing business in
amount of capital other lines. 1t will
be seen that the shpbuilding industry, supposed
to be one of the least profitable of the industries
Of the United States, with capital of only $121,-
100000, or less than fourth of the capital of
the brewing business, employs two thousand more
men and pays them within five million dollars as
much wages as the brewing business.
Taking the classified industries" we may make

ufacturing malt liquors and their combined CAPT
tai reached sol ,20S,224 In 1905 the number of
establishments had decreased to 1881 but the
amount of capital had increased to the enormous
sum already stated, $515636,792.
The value of the brewers output Cat wholesale
rate as delivered to the retail liquor deaer) is
placed by the Census at $29S ,35S,732
In attempting to discover what are the brewers
profits we may add together the total of salaries
paid to the officials and clerks, the wages paid
to wage-earners, miscellaneous expenses and cost
OF materials used There is some ground to
question the Legitimacy of all of these items in
the computation. For example, the enormous
miscellaneous expenses of the brewing business,
far and away exceeding the item in every
other line of business examined by the Census,

ABLE I: THE BREWER AND LABOR

comparison with the totals of all the manutac-
turing industries of the country, and we ind that
the brewers hold one twenty fourth of the capt.
tai and produce one forty-ninth Of the value of
products and pay one thirty-third of the salaries,
but employ only one one-hundred and fifteenth
of the wage-earners and pay one seventy fourth
of the wages and buy one one-hundred and thir-
teenth of the materials used in manufacturing.
To put this in another way we find by the
comparison shown in Table II, that in the class
flied industries of the country $3.50 of capital
employs a laborer $4s6 of capital pays $1OO to
a laborer and $144 of capital pays dollar for
raw material But in the case of the breweries
it requires $1o,711 of capital to employ one la

may be in part duplicated by other expenses and
may in part represent such items as the payment
of saloon licenses made by the brewers but col
lected again in the process of business.
However, making all allowance in favor of the
brewer and adding together all the items sug
gested, we find clear margin Of more than $751;,
100000 between all recorded expenses of brew
ing business and the wholesale value of its out
put, or, in other words a return of more than
ten percent upon its whole enormous capital
every year.
We shall understand this the better if we
glance at the corresponding figures for some of
the other lines of business For example, in cot
ton goods, making exactly the computa-
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-04-09

ton that we have made in the case of the brew
cries, there is margin of only four percent upon
the capital invested. In the iron and steel trade,
is margin of only seven percent. Even in the
gas business to which the jewellers of all our
cities are supposed to be in absolute servtude,
the margin shown by the computation is
only tri1e over four percent.
The brewer boasts of the enormous number
of whom he employs and would have us
believe that if this great army" were turned out
of employment, it would swamp the country in
disaster In what the Census knows the
fourteen groups OF industries comprising 49,,
262 establishments there are employed an aver
age number of 547O,321 men, women and chill
dren Of these the brewing business employs
4s139 Or, if we exclude the and chill
dren from each count the total number of wage
earning men is 4,244,53s, while the total number
of men who earn wages in the employ of the
breweries is 46,9S6 In other words, if the brew
cries were wiped out Of existence today and there
were no compensatng advantages, in
ninety now employed would be "out of job"
If instead of basing this computation upon
the fourteen groups of industries, we base it upon
the "all Unsatisfactory mechanical and neigh
borhood,' we have to deal with total number
of wage-earners reaching 6,152,443, dis
cover that with this a basis, if the brewing
business were wiped out of existence, man
or woman out Of every 1877 now employed for
wages would lost his or her present employ
ment.
We see the bearing of this a little more clearly

COLLEGE FRATERNITIES.

CHICAGO, Mar. THE gravest
Indictment which has yet been drawn
against the~secret societies in the

1t is contained in a report of an
investigation made, at President
Schnyder's request, by the dectives of
the city police department.
In substance report charges that
gross immortality is practised at
several of the fraternity houses. Six
specific instances are cited in which
women (not connect in any way with
the schools) have been found, har-
bored in the houses, the boys in each
case being members Of the fraternity
which maintains the building.
President Schuyler has had the re-
port for several days but has declin-
ed to make it public
At its meeting yesterday the school
management committee to which the
"anti-frat" resolution had been re-
turned by the board at its last meet
ing passed the measure again by vote
of 4to 2 thus making it extremely pos
sible that it will be passed finally by
the board at its meeting Wednesday
night.
