SOME PROHIBITION RESULTS.

Policemen in dry towns in Ohio
are uneasy these days. What be.
tween chasing the numerous boot.
leggers and worrying over the loss
of their jobs, has brought the police
men to that state of mind wherein
the prohibition advocates are not re-
garded fondly. All because munici.
pal revenues in dry towns have been
knocked into cooked hat by loss OF
the liquor tax.
While the police are needed to ap.
prehend violators of laws they are
being dispensed with nevertheless in
order to meet expenses. Redwood
o., by it's council has cut the salary
of its marshal and also put him to
work cleaning paved streets. The
salary of the fire chief has been re-
duced while the village solicitor has
been fired bodily
Council of Newark, o., has decided
that eleven policemen must go and
that seven firemen will have to seek
fact that she never has had adequate
police protection with twenty-five
men and shudders to think what ii
will be with but IA.
Painesville, o., will cut down her
police force in February because OF
lack of revenue. The list continues
to grow as the pinch for funds be
comes a reality, and the wall for
revenue throughout Ohio is pathetic
The latest plan for raising revenue is
advocated by Mayor Naylor, of Niles
o., who wants to tax bachelors and
widowers In his bailiwick. 1t has
also been suggested that the Anti
Saloon League contribute to each dry
town the amount of liquor tax ii has
lost. Anti-Saloon League officially
however are reported tn look on this
suggestion with horror.
The Girard, O., Journal has caus'
ed pain in certain circles by asking
where is all the money merchants
were to get when the saloons were
wiped ont, and says:
Zone merchant in Warren on the
Saturday before Christmas a yeaI
ago sold over $500 worth of goods
and last Saturday sold little over

The closing of saloons in Union
county has evidently not come up to
expectations and the following is
voiced by the Redwood, O., Gazette:
"On Christmas Eve, also on Christ
mas night there was strong evidence
that at least a dozen or more young
boys of Redwood had been imbibing
too freely during the prvious hours
of the Christmas holidays. 1t is in
strict violation of the statutes of
Ohio for anyone to give a minor
strong drink, and we hope our Off
cials VIII ferret out the guilty par
ties, and give them their just dues.
Before the saloons were closed in
Redwood, such thing was unknown
here, to our knowledge, and we have
been in touch with this community
for over a quarter of a century. Be
fore Union county voted dry we were
told by those living in dry towns in
surrounding counties that if the coun
ty voted the saloons out of the NUM-
cipalities, we would rob them of the
revenue and still have the evil.
1T looks now very much as if om
informants knew what they were
| talking about, and that our people
were deceived by men who are sup
posed to stand high in moral way.

Huntington Brown, of Mansfield,
has caused sorrow in Akron, o., by
refusing to go ahead and build a new
hotel which that thriving city needs
badly. Brown is the owner of the
Empire House and cite and intended
giving Akron a high class hotel. Ow-
ing to the prohibition agitation and
the fact that this question has not
been decided in Akron and Summit
County, Brown has decided not to go
ahead with his hotel plans. Hotel
men declare they cannot operate
without selling liquor and are keen
for the general assembly to afford
relief to hotels.

$1GO worth. Another on the same
day a year a"o sold $115 worth and
last Saturday his sales did not reach
S64. A fruit dealers sales were up
wards of $33 less this year than on
the same day a year ago. And there
is general complaint all around.
Now that's strange isn't it, when only
few weeks ago some preachers,
lawyers and professors told the mer-
chants to drive out the saloons and
get the money the saloons were get
ting? Does such a condition help to
increase the value of taxable prop
erty? Does it aid the merchant to
assist greater in church work? And
so on"
