The above show an unmistakable gain under no-license. If no-license means more and worse" liquor, and means excessive drinking at home, and still produces such results as in Worcester (and the same is true every where else then let us have it. Our own town in account with Holland jail has great gain on the right side under our six.months of no.license. Do not be fooled by unwarranted statements by those whose bread and butter depends upon deceiving the public and in securing license vote wherever possible.

 Worcester, the largest no-license Oity in the world, and now under no-license for the second time in suo- cession, a thing never known before, has now the record of full year of no. license to compare with the pre- ceding year of license The liquor faction, and many others who cling to an old theory instead of accepting the facts, have said that Worcester was "wide open." and more liquor was being shipped in there, etc. But the results, which embrace all phases of life where the results of drinking show, proves that there is a wonderful decrease in all departments of crime and alcoholism. That the arrests for drunkenness are less than half what they were under license is now a matter of common knowledge. But some say that it does not prove less drunkenness, but only that the men drink at home, more and worse liquor, too. Very we'll, let that go undisputed to such minds as are capable of believing it. But wherever the liquor may be drunk, it is certain that the effects upon the health and temper of the drinkers would be no less than under license. They would suffer from alcoholism just as much (more, if they drink 'more and worse liquor), they would die of alcoholism, they would beat their wives, they would neglect their families. Let us examine the hospital records, the death rate, etc and com pare it with the same facts under 1ioauno
