National Assets.

A great portion Of the public domain
is poor land, worthless for farming
purposes, but, on the other hand, there
are large deposits of coal, oil and other
minerals of immense value and vast
forests that will furnish timber for
generations to come. Naturally, such
states as Montana, Idaho and Nevada
look upon the public lands in their Dor.
ders as the possession of their citizens.
They are anxious to have the tracts
divided and given to settlers, 80 that
the population may be- increased and
the resources of the states developed.
But the public lands are peculiarly the
possession Of the nation and must be
safeguarded as an important national
asset. The time is past when they
may be given to settlers by the thou.

Legislation.
gan. Since a year ago 100 municipali-
ties In. Wisconsin have voted against
saloon license, thus closing out more
than 400 saloons. Minnesota has been
arraying itself against the saloon. The
Prohibitionists assert that there are
now only 100 saloons left in Mime
sofa.
A year ago 80 counties In Kentucky
had already voted out the saloon. In
Connecticut the "no-license" voters
voted out 300 more saloons In the last
few months, while in Massachusetts
10 more municipalities have abolished
the saloon. In single day 1858
townships in Illinois voted for prohi-
bition, and as a consequence 1900 ga
loonkepers have had to retire from
business. Maryland, in the last year,
has increased its prohibition area.
A great change has been effected in
Mississippi since year ago. The adop-
ton of prohibition for the entire State
drove the saloon from the seven re-
naming wet" counties. In Alabama,
the State prohibition law went into
effect on January Of this year Geor'

gta, Maine, Kansas, Oklahoma and
North Dakota are absolutely prohibit
i've States. In Florida there arc at
present only $50 saloons left in the en-
tire State, while prohibition prevails
in a great part of Louisiana. The anti
salonists have been active In Virginia.
In recent months they have closed out
more than 400 saloons. OF the 100
counties in Virginia II do not now
grant any form Of license.
In Nebraska already $50 municipalt
ties have voted out the saloon. In Mis-
souri, 80 counties now refuse licenses
Since 1908 the voters Of Rhode Island
have abolished 429 saloons, and both
Vermont and New Hampshire have in
creased their no-license communities.
The only distinctively wet" Statei
and Territories at present are Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Wyoming, Ne
vada, Utah, Arizona New Mexico and
the State of Washington which later,
however, is likely to enact local op
ton law before long. About BIO town
ships in New York State are dry
and 29e others are under partial L.
cense.
These facts show the steady and
phenomenal progress made by the anti
saloon Organizations within the last
year. Up to the beginning Of 1908 they
had succeeded in Transforming great
part of the United States into ari"
territory. Since then they have 60

Union. In South Carolina and one OF
two other places they have been check

compiled by the United States Bureau

amounted to $76S.54 year. OF thiI

The prohibition crusade has swept
forward to such an extent that in
more than two-thfrds of the territory
of the United States the saloon has
been abolished. Idaho, one of the few
States which had withstood the move
ment. has now fallen into line. In
Tennessee a drastic act was enacted,
and under it the manufacture or sale
OF liquor in any form will be a mis-
demeanor. In the State OF Washing
ton Governor and a majority of the
members Of the Legislature pledged to
local option were recently elected. An
overwhelming majority of the Legis-
lature in Texas on a platform declar-
ing for the submission of a prohibit
tory amendment means, according to
the Prohibitionists, that Texas will
soon probably become "dry."
Under the provisions of a recently
enacted local option law thirteen coun-
ties in Oregon closed out the saloons.
There are now 81 counties in Oregon
in which liquor is prohibited. The
elections since year ago in Colorado
have been bad for the saloon inter-
ests. Forty-two municipalities have
ousted the saloons. There are now
$50 cities and towns in California
where the saloon is not allowed to ex-
list. In Ohio 81 out of 60 counties
have voted the salon out of business.
Under the provisions Of the Moore re-
monstrance law of Indiana 720 saloons
have been abolished within the last
year. Prohibitionists also hope to
soon turn Arkansas into an absolute
prohibition area. In Iowa 461 saloons
have been put out Of business recently,
leaving only Lilo in the entire State.
Twenty-Five Of South Cardinals ~
countries have voted for prohibition
since November under the county OPP
ton law. During the last year 305
saloons and 2 breweries have been
forced to go out of business in Mlchi-
