Business Improved in dry Towns.

Such arguments as that business
will be hurt" are advanced by some
good men against closing the saloons,
but it has in fact originated with the
liquor men. The facts are that tes-
timonies from dry towns and counties
prove that it is beneficial to business.
The cashier of the largest bank in
Kansas City, Kan, writes as follows:
COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK.
Kans. City, Kans., June q, 1907.
Mr.. c. w. Trickett,
Asst. Atty. Gen, Ks. City.
Dear Sir: The joints have now
been closed for a year. One year
ago our deposits were 81, 263, 344. IS
and at the close of business last night,
one year later, our deposits were 49,
032, 1872. 65, an increase of 1863, 49,
go in II months, the largest increase
of new business that we have had in
any period of the same length of time
since beginning.
We think we have the accounts of
more than SO per cent of the business
houses of this city, and have talked
to large number of them with re-
ference to the effect of the closing of
the joints on their business, and with
but very few exceptions they have
expressed themselves as pleased, and
many of them are more than pleased
with the result. Many of them have
stated that it has been the best year
they have ever had, and | believe this
feeling is shared by large majority
of the professional men and other in
telligent citizens of the city. | have
heard of many of our best citizens
who were formally inclined to think
that closing of the joints would hurt
the city, now express themselves as
hoping we would never go back to
the old regime, and others have pro-
posed that If the State administration
lets up, we raise any amount of mon
ey necessary to prevent such catastro-
ply.
During my residence of nearly II
years in this city, conditions were
never so good as they are at the pres
ent time in every department. Of oul
civic life.
Yours truly,

way before the commercial spirit, and
business principles are to be resorted
to as a final court of appeals, 1t is
doubtful if the saloon-keeper himself
will be pleased with the argument car
ried TO logical and final conclusion.
Accepting for arguments sake the
claim that it is a good investment tor
the Grangeville school district to play
silent partner to the saloons as at pres
emf. and receive therefrom the very
small per cent of the profits of the
business it is now getting, would 1t
not be a far better display of business
sense to cut out the expensive partner,
the saloon man, and have the entire
revenue to use for school purposes!
This can be easily done by the CO.
operation of the school district and the
city council, the latter to pass an ordi-
nance granting the exclusive right to
onerate saloons in the city to the
school board, the members to con-
duct the saloons themselves or employ
reliable bartenders and stand respon-
sible for their conduct By this means

Police Courts 60 Out of Business.

Last January the Police Judge of
Argentine, a city of more than ten
thousand population. said in an inter
view published in the Kansas City
Star:
"They can talk all they want to
about the closing of the joints in this
county making conditions worse, but
anyone who looks over my docket
will find there is not one case now
where there were fifteen before the
crusade against the joints began"
On the fourth of May, 1907, the
following item appeared in the Kan
sas City Star:
81 walked right in and turned around,
And walked right out again.
John T. Sims, police Judge of
Kansas City, Kansas, was humming
this song this morning as he walked
from the city hall at sos o'clock.
He explained to the questioner:
There wasn't case tried in police
court this morning. Kansas City,
Kansas, has a population of go, 600.
There has been light docket since
the Joints were closed" Teachers in
the public schools report that children
are now well clothed who formerly
were in rags because their parents
spent their earnings in the joints.

business sagacity enough to get all the
financial benefit there is in it, and in
stead of accepting one dollar for the
schools out of every sixteen to twenty
that is paid over the bar, take it all.

hclent to satisfy this mania for strictly
business methods, gambling rooms can
be Stealthily introduced, and later other
kindred business pursuits, until the

PASSENGER STEAMER BURNED.

PASSENGER STEAMER BURNED.
LOS ANGELES, November 22.-The
shipwrecked passengers and crew of
the burned steamer st. CroiX arrived
here yesterday. They were famished
and completely exhausted from hunger,
ed on the beach all night after having
been taken from the ship on the life
boats and life-rafts and were unable to
get anything to eat.
The hulk of the st. Croix is floating
about in the sea derelict near where
she was abandoned. The cause of the
fire can not be explained
LOS ANGELES, November 21.-The
steamer st. Croix, bound from San
Pedro for San Francisco, caught fire
when some distance at sea last night
and in spite of hard work on the part
of the crew burned to the waters
edge. AS soon as the fire was discover
ed, the vessel was headed in for shore,
but, when she was three miles out, off
Point Duma, the flames had gained
such Roadway that it was necessary to
take to the boats.
The st. Croix had eighty-two pas
sengers and these, together with the
thirty-six members of her crew, were
all taken off in safety on the lifeboats
and life RATS and landed on the beach
where they camped last night,
1t was thought that the boat could
be brought to port and in consequence
the passengers were unprepared. They
had no opportunity to secure their per-
sonal baggage.
