More Facts From Worcester.


 Last week we presented the statis- tics showing an immense reduction in crime, alcoholism. wife beating and mortality in Worcester under no. license as compared with license. Here are some additional facts from one full year of no-license.
 jail record broken-''The jail on Summer street has held less inmates than at any time in twenty years, according to Deputy Jailer W. Ansel Washburn, and the records bear out his statements.
 Druggist refuses a license-" With the advent of the second year of mo- license there was but one drug store license granted, and that went to the store which had made the smallest number of sales during the first year. The proprietor refused to accept the license. ''
 Business men endorse no-license- Orompton & Knowles, employing 2, 800 men. say: 1T believe con- fidently that no-license has been & benefit to us. The men have been healthier and have enjoyed them selves, After full years trial am convinced that the men in our shops are decided better off under mo- license. ''
 Grafton 6 Knight Mfg Co. em- ploying 2,OOO men: "The difference in our shop during the no-lioense year has been very marked we have been obliged to discharge but very few men during the past year. About six months ago, half way through the o-lioense year, our men organized a $1 club, entirely of their own vOlition. Electing treasurer, they began to save their earnings, and the fund soon grew to such propor- tions that they asked the company to act as treasurer. The fund now totals over $300O, and among the depositors are many men who were always destitute in years when the saloons were open. No-license has been profitable to us.'
 Grocers and provision dealers |: These dealers voted to support the mo- license cause, issuing a public statement to the effect that their business was practically equal to that of the previous year, despite the de- pression. and that the bills of the working people were being paid more | promptly than ever before. The small grocers throughout the city say that their books prove that no. license has been decided benefit to them. ''
 One hundred and forty five firms 145 replies were received to letters sent to business men asking their opinion on the license question; 1O7 favor a continuance of no-lioense, 24 do not commit themselves, IA were opposed to mo- license.
 It is the same story everywhere that no license has a fair trial: inn mense decrease in drunkenness and crime, etc., and a decided increase in the welfare of merchants and people. The workingmen, as a rule, spend most of their money. They cannot spend it twice. If it goes into the saloon, every cent goes to their own damage and the damage of their families. If they spend it at the stores, it benefits every one and dam ages no one. Stafford knows from her own experience that no-license is profitable
