An Expert O ProhibItlon.

Rev. William A, WATSON, of an Epis
eopal church on Staten Island, has long
been a student Of the liquor question In
current magazine article he declares
that while ii Is an established fact that
during the past three OF four years liz.
uor saloons here in the United States
have been closed BIZ law at the rate Of
about one thousand a month and mean.
1 time the prohibition territory has been
brOadened constantly so that II now EN-
braces thirty-eight millions Of people in
stead OF only six millions in 1893. the
records Of the internal revenue service
disclose that the per capita consumption
Of iutoXieants has actually increased.
From information based on these records
and other sources Mr. WATSON is moved
to says
In 1893 the year the Anti-Saloon
league was organized, per capita cons
sumption Of malt and spiritaous liquors
in the whole country was 1913 and .46
gallons, respectively In 1890. when only
six million people were living under pro-
hihitory laws. the figures were 1913 and
Ill. In 1907 when approximately
thirty five million people were living ia
dry territory, the figures had risen to
the high-water mark, 220 and los
IT Is shown also by tie clereyman's
figures that prohibition is in the lowest
repute IN those sections where It has
been the longest under trial OF the
eight states that adopted It half cen.
fury or so ago, only one still holds 10
it, that Is Maine.
Rev Mr.. Wasson's suggestion for the
cure Of the liquor question is the state
wide regulation Of the liquor traffic
through local excise boards. while
this would be an improvement upon
prohibition says the Washington Post
Of the recommendation. which drives
the drink evil into the hands Of moon
sinners, blind tigers and vile dives. yet
it is not the ideal solution Of the prob
lem unless way could be found to-
divorce the state excise boards from pol
itics Still, the Reverend Mt. WATSON
has made an interesting and suggestive
contribution to timely subject, and he
has shown, apparently, that the record
Of prohibition IN America has since it's
beginning sixty gears ago, been one long
story Of farce and failure Burlington

bright one. Not only is it to have a
state park inclusive OF the mineral
springs, improved and embelished by

an effort to place the racing at that re-.
sort on the highest plane Of excellence

ancient names are modern-day acts which

people The ancient city Of Portsmouth,

New Hampshire, has been going through

substitute another more modern name

If the people 81 Portsmouth realized ii,

HELPING NEW INDUSTRIES.

In discussing before the Montpelier
board Of trade 4 plan for raising funds
to aid new Industries, 7. A. Rowland
stated that it had been his experience
that firms that had to have aid to get
established in city were not often sue.
rsssful Ii most cases this IS true. There
may be exceptional cases, but they are
few and far between II Is more fire..
quently the case that an industry that
has been induced to locate IL a commune
ity by reason Of fires rent exemption
from taxation, or a gift in some other
form, is seeking new pastures as soon
as these gifts stop. The promiscuous
buying Of industries is not profitable.
The Times believes boards Of trade can
do more to build up their communities
by studying local conditions, making
known their home resources and the adj
rantages offered. perhaps aiding in the
starting Of some new local industry suit
ed to the location, helping those enter
prises honestly looking for location to
find suitable one, and they win de-
velop faster and in more substantial
manner than those towns making gifts.
