bition.
Dr. James Albert Patterson is con-
Quoting the fight in the state of New
York. He Will carry it to Harlem
bridge, where DR.. Inglehart will take
it up and continue it in the five bor-
oughs.
DR.. Inglehart is authority for the
statement that during the present year
fights will be waged in the IegiSla-
lures of nine additional states for
state wide prohibition. He says
definitely that Washington and
Idaho, both now marked "wet," will
go for local option. He is very
sanguine of success in Tennessee
when it is put up to the people over
the governors veto. He says that in
Ohio the campaign has caused the
failure of over dozen breWerles,
something never heard of before. 1t
is a well-known fact that the brew
ing interests realize the strength of
the movement and are actively or
ganization to combat this. Sys-
tematic campaigns in favor of the sale
of liquor are now being waged. This
will be a fight to the finish and one
in which the majority are going to
dictate the policy of the minority.
Question of Taxes.
The liquor traffic has been the source
of much state and city income ana one
of the big questions is whether the peo-
pie will be willing to pay the add1tlona!
taxes necessitated by the cutting off of
this source of revenue. The dry states
and dry districts are the ones to whom
the balance of the United States IS
looking for information in this line. If
after a period of trial the eight states
in which state wide prohibition now
exists find that their states have
prospered under the prohibition law
and that the taxes incurred by the
cutting off of the liquor revenue have
not materially harmed the states, it
will be a great talking point in favor
of prohibition. for many a business
man is holding himself aloof from the
prohibition movement on this ground
alone-whether the ground be right or
wrong, it is a fact
The liquor interests feel that time will
prove the fallacy of absolute prohibit
ton just as sanguinely as do the Proh1-
bitionists that time will prove the wis
dom of absolute prohibition. And 1T is
therefore an assured fact that the next
five years will either prove the down
fall of the brewing interests or the
downfall of the prohibition movement.

UNCLE EL1's FABLES.
Wherein to the Tail of Each Is Tied a
Moral.

One day, after having grazed his fill,
the Camel started down to the water
hole to quench his thirst. He was feel
ing balmy and complacent, and as he
walked along he communed to himself:
"Ah, it is good to be Camel. There
is a hump on my back that any animal
in the world might be proud of, and
the party that says my neck. is not as
graceful as that of the Swan is a
horse-thief and a liar"
He had not yet reached the water
when he met the Giraffe. who was also
, feeling that he was the 1t. The two
animals surveyed each other for mo-
ment. and then the Camel said:
"Hu! You are still carrying your
forelegs around with you, see?''
What about my forelegs?" was de-
manded.
why, they make you look like a rail
fence with props uner it,
Look here. you old critter with a
hump, it is not for you to criticize such

rabbit off his legs"
Then followed criticism and abuse un-
til the wolf came along and butted in
and ana claimed he was the only animal in
the forest resembling the American
Beauty Rose. The Camel and the
Giraffe Immediately proceeded to tell
how the world looked upon him, and hot
words were flying around when the
Rhfnoceros came UP and said:
Gentlemen, these unseemIy express
sions should cease 1t was decided long
ago that am the only thing in the

my strength? Who. has my agility?
Can any of you tear down trees and
kill hunters? Let me advise you in
fatherly way to cut it out"
A row with the elephant was on the
carpet when the Wolf happened to
look upward and saw the Owl seated
on a limb and he at once called out:
Peace, peace. Let us leave it to the
Owl to decide"
"Well, gentlemen" replied the Owl
after a few blinks, "the case seems to

Only ten states and territories with

Three hundred prohibition cities in
the United States having a population

Nearly two-thirds of the entire Uni
ted States under some form of prohibi-

prohibition movement in the United
States. These facts are startling to
many who have not been in touch with
the prohibition movement during the
last FIVE years, for nearly all of this
transformation has taken place during
that time.
Five years ago only two states, Maine
and Kansas, were under statewide pro-
hibition laws. Since 1904 North Dako-
ia, Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama, Mis-
sisSippi and North Carolina have been
added to the list of dry states. During
this period 20,000,0 600 people have been
added to the territory which has out
cities, hundreds of new prohibition
counties and thousands of new prohi-
bition towns and villages in all parts
of the country. Five years ago II, ,000,-
600 people in the south were under pro-
hibition. Today the prohibition ranks
have been swelled to 25,000,000 people in
the same district.
Work of Anti-SaIOon League.
This transformation has not been
brought about by the prohibition party
although its influence in that direction
has been of much assistance to the
movement, but rather it has been
brought about by the Anti-Saloon
league and its scientific methods of at
tack on the liquor interests.
The Anti-Saloon league has so con-
Quoted its movement that during the
recent campaign for the first time in
many years the liquor problem held
the center of the stage as a state issue.
Public men were made and unmade in
many states over this very problem
of the liquor traffic.
So successful have the workers been
that the rural districts and many of
the city precincts over the entire

Well observed the Horse, t'it's a

fell dead lame. His feet were lifted to
see if he had picked up a stone on the

the lameness the master hired another
