1T PROVES THE CASE

The Sentinel of Fl. Wayne, Ind, COM
menting upon the so-called business as
sociations that are being formed for the
purpose of opposing Prohibition, ex-
presses doubt as to the value of their
work in behalf of the liquor interests.
1t says that there is nothing hysterical
nor abnormal nor pulling in the pres
ent Prohibition movement; that it ex-
lists because "the people in all parts of
the country have simply grown tired of
the arrogance and impudence of the IL
quor traffic" The Sentinel further says !:
The gradully charging area of "dry"
territory has given ample demonstra-
ton to thousands of communities that
they cannot only get along without
saloons, but really get along much bet
ter without them Applied temper
ance furnishes its own argument No
sort of discussion can prevail against
the Installation of fact. Extermi-
nation of the saloon does not hurt
it does help. The uprising that brew
cry domination in the first place pro-
voked now looks not only to the eman-
cipation of politics from such a rule,
but to the triumph of temperance for
the benehcences that destruction of
the liquor traffic will bring.

THE OUTLOOK'S REVIEW OF
KANSAS CITY

The Outlook of New York City, DR..
Lyman Abbott's paper, is we'll known
to have no friendly disposition toward
Prohibition or Prohibitionists. For that
reason the editorial resume of the re-
suits of Prohibition in Kansas City,
which appears in recent number of
that paper, is the more valuable, repre-
senting, as it does, conclusions arrived
at from an investigation that began
from a hostile standpoint. In part the
Outlook begins its editorial:
The enforcement of the prohibitory
law the last twenty-five months in
Kansas City, Kas.-a city of 100000
inhabitants-has caused unprecedented
prosperity in all lines of business.
The brewers throughout the country
are persistently asserting that because
the city closed the saloons it is going
to ruin; that real estate values are
depreciating, people are moving away,
hundreds of buildings are vacant,
taxes have been increased, bank de-
posts are dropping off, and the city
is without funds to pay running ex-
penses These assertions, which have
been Haunted before the public in
page advertisements, in newspapers
and huge posters on billboards, have
all been proved untrue.
The Outlook follows this with a
lengthy review of Kansas City's ex-
perience under enforced Prohibition,
practically as the matter has been pre-
scented in this paper.

Carolina vote with much wisdom. 1t
says:
Two points, however, are to be
noted in the returns from North Car
DINA. One is that the state has
smaller negro population than the
territory to the south of it. In
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi the
whites barely outnumber the blacks;
in North Carolina the proportion is
practically two to one. Thus the
theory that the question of negro
labor and negro crime was the real
motive behind the Prohibition move
rnent in the South receives. another
rebuff.
Again: the economic theory of the
movement, that it is based merely
upon desire to save money and get
rich, receives somewhat of shock
in the results in Buncombe county,
which contains Asheville, town that
one would no more expect to vote for
no-license than Saratoga, or Denver
before a Democratic convention. Yet
the Prohibitionists seem to have held
Buncombe by a great majority

MINISTERS IN POLITICS

The Wine and Spirit Gazette in a re-
cent editorial attacked the ministers and
politicians in an amiable and Christian
like style that may be appreciated from
one of its paragraphs which reads:
Under the sleeps wool of amiabil-
ity is the hide of the wolf; and be-
hind the clerical smirk are the fangs
of the serpent.
The Northeastern ADVOCATE in a Wig
orous editorial replies in part as fol-
lows:
If the editor of the Gazette were as
familiar with the Bible and with the
history of this country as he is with
the criminal character of the saloon
he would have known that the chief
thing the prophets and preachers of
the Old Testament - Moses, Isaiah,
Hosea, Elijah, and the rest-did was
to speak publicly and with loud
voice upon the political questions of
their day; while in the days when
this nation was being formed, it was
preachers like Rev. Jonathan Mayhem,
whom Robert Treat Paine called "the
father of civil and religious liberty in
Massachusetts, and America; and the
Presbyterian preachers in North Car
such pitch of patriotism that they
met in convention in Mecklenberg in
the spring of ITS and adopted the first
formal Declaration of independence in
America; and Rev. John Witherspoon.

THE WHY IN NORTH
CAROLINA

The adoption of Prohibition by the
people of North Carolina is met by a
certain section Of the press with the
same explanations with which they have
sought to break the force of all the
Prohibition victories of the South, to
wit: The assertion that the South is
abolishing the liquor traffic to protect
itself from the negro. Curiously enough,
in not one of the southern states where
Prohibition has been adopted has that
argument been introduced, as factor,
but that, of course, does not interfere
with the use of the explanation by the
pro-liquor press. However, the new
York Mail comments upon the North

PUBLIC OPINION
"HALF-SEAS OVER"

That our mid-Pacifc territory, Ha-
waii, has about the same divided con-
1ition of public sentiment" that pre-
walls on the mainland may be inferred
from editorial comment in Honolulu.
On April 90 the Pacific Commercial I'D.
yertiser said:
The common sense of Prohibition is
this: Under license law there are
many saloons, some of them attractive
and hospitable, where men go for so
ciety and Fellowship. They drop
in to pass the. time pleasantly, and
they buy more or less drink to pay
for their welcome 1t is not so much
liquor that draws them as it is socia-
bility. Now, under Prohibition law,
these places would be closed, and
liquor would only BE- sold in blind
pigs" or "speak-easys," where the rule
is to drink and run. Only the scottish
minority seek such places. The So
ciable drinker would no more think
of skulking down a dark alley to get
"handout" of bad whisky in a Dip
per than he would think of crawling
into sewer for heart-to-heart talk
with his best friend. Prohibition
sends the sociable man home sober:
it hunts the den where the sot goes.
and does its best to punish the seller:
and, when faithfully enforced, it re-
duces the bar consumption of place
at least IS percent Can any of the
anti-crime laws make a better
showing?
The Bulletin on April Is takes whiri
It the question and says:
The citizens of this territory and its
residents have no sympathy with the
Prohibition program. The tolerant
majority is quite willing to allow the
intolerant ones to break forth orca-
sionally and condemn their fei wv
citizens as sinners and enemies of the
public good The majority has no in
tention, however, of believing all the
evil that is said, nor is it the plan
to be forever Indifferent to attacks
upon the motives of tolerant men.
The gist of the matter in Hawaii is
that the people have no use for FRO
hibition. It does not fit the situation.
To prohibit among our population
would be to put premium on con-
traband trade, and not reduce the per-
centage of harm done by intoxicants.
Furthermore, after many experiments
it is found that the territory now has
a very excellent law for regulating
the liquor traffic Why should the
people change to something that sat
isles no one, at the behest of the rad
ical who refuses to be practical and
entirely honest?

option law, joins in lauding the action
of the Methodist Episcopal. Church. 1t
says:
Local option is preferred by the
Methodist church because it is the
most sensible and effective. 1t is the
safest step toward general Prohibi-
ton. When a great church indorses
this principle it is idle for fanatics to
try to cast slur on those who ia
vor it.
