THE "DRY' TERRITORY,
In Two Thirds of the United States
Liquor Is Forbidden.

l
Ferdinand C. Inglehard says of the
'dry territory" in the United States
in April Review of Reviews:
In two thirds of all the territory
of the United States the saloon has
been abolished by law. Forty years
ago there wer 100000 people living
in territory where the sale Of liquor
| was prohibited Now there are &c.
100000 people under prohibitory law.
Sine that time the population of the
country has scarcely doubled, while
the population in prohibition territory
has increased tenfold.
There are 100000 people in the
IA southern states, 100000 of
whom are under prohibitory law in
some form. In 1900 there were 49,
000, 900 under prohibition in the Uni
ted States; now there are 36,O00,00
In eight months statewide prohibi-
ton has cleared the saloon from an
area as great as that of France.
In that area there Is solid block
of territory 900 miles north and
south by 72O miles east and west, in
which on the first day of next Jam
uary bird can fly from the Mississip-
rpi to the Atlantic ocean, and from
the boundary OF Tennessee to the
Gulf of Mexico, without looking down
upon q legalized saloon. Great Brit
ain and Ireland could be set down
over this space without covering 1t.
There would be 10000 square miles
of "dry" territory left as border.

Not His Place to Lauuh.

Milly is sweet young lady, usually
very sedate and self possessed. But
today she was suffering under the
stress OF suppressed emotion.
"Calm yourself, my DEAR" urged 4
sympathetic friend. "and tell me all
about It."
"Well, you see," began Milly, wiping
her eyes. papa caught a wicked cold.
and mother persuaded him to coddle
himself to get rid of It. So he sat,
dressed in pajamas, on his folding
bed In front Of blazing fire in his
bedroom. He had steaming bowl
OF Cruel on his knee. and his feet were
In pail Of mustard and water.
Presently we heard a terrific noise
overhead, and we all rushed upstairs
to see what had happened to poor
papa. We found that the folding bed
had collapsed in the middle, and there
he was stuck In the angle, scalding
cruel in bis lap and pouring all over
him, while ma was sitting in a pool
OF mustard and water on the door.

Gold Ia Everywhere,

Gold can most profitably be extract
ed from certain mines where the ore is
rich and not too difficult to work, but
should these deposits ever peter out
there is no fear that the world would
suffer for lack Of gold supply, for
there are many other sources which
are as yet untouched, but for working
which profitable methods would be de-
vised If need were. Granite, for ex-
ample, contains an appreciable guam.

present conditions too expensive mat
ter to extract it we should find Scot
land and Cornwall rivaling the Trans

contains gold In solution, and the man

than all the millionaires that ever
lived. Gold is also constantly falling
all over the surface Of the world, blown

they neglected only their opportunities but

A CURRENCY SUGGESTION.
Let the United States Treasury Deposit Its
Hoardings in the Banks.

To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / have read with interest the report in your
paper of December II Of the discussion at the
meeting of the National Civic Federation on the
currency system of the United States. 1t has long
appeared TO persons here interested that extra
ordinary danger in the business of currency has
lain in the accumulations of the Golfers of the
Treasury. The nation thus itself becomes the great
hoarder of coin, and sets certainly a monstrous
example to the people, who heard confidence
preached even from the pulpit.
The president of the federation, Mr.. Belmont
appreciates the dangers arising from this boarding
on the part of the Treasury and deprecates the
attitude of Congress, which has hitherto neglected
to provide any remedy whatever. Apparently that
failure is due feeling that national money IS
TO be safeguarded from any loss to absolute
certainty.
Well, if that sentiment still prevails, has 1T not
occurred to any one that rather than the country
should depleted of gold the nations gold should
be deposited with the banks under an act of Con-
gress, giving 1t a preference over the moneys Of
other depositors? Mr.. Benonts appeal seems con-
elusive but had Congress this additional preference
only the direst folly could prevent it giving the
required authority to settle the affair for the
tionai veal. WILLIAM SPHINX.
