WHAT PRORIBITIONISTS Are fight.
ing FOR.

Hon. Sebron Wright. the well known
Georgia prohibitiouist, gives the follow
ing clear-cut statement Of wha. prohibit
tionists are fighting for:
Men, ard particularly business men,
insist that we are trying TO make men
good by legislsting evil ont Of existence;
that we are trying to prohibit men from
drinking by making it impossible for
them to obtain liquor.
We are making no such fight. We
are fighting for the protection of the
children of this country. We do not
hope by prohibition to prevent the men
and women who have formed the habit
of drink, from satisfying their appetitee,
but we do hope and expect to prevent
our children from acquiring this accurs-
ed taste,
We are not fighting to put the saloon
keepers out Of business, bat TO get out Of
the saloon business ourselves, for every
man and woman in q state that licenses
saloons lie apartner in the business.

A STRIKING DIFFERENCE.

A STRIKING DIFFERENCE.
Though the advocates of the open sa-
loon have about abandoned their one
time effective argument that the saloon
was a necessity because of the tax it
paid, Just as they have abandoned a
dozen or more other arguments as actual
demonstration has shown beyond the
shadow of q doubt that there was moth
ing in them. Cold facts have teen ar
rayed sgains: fiimsy pretexts for argu-
ment and they have been knocked down
to wsllow in the mud and finally sink
into Oblivion, but it is well to keep facts
before the people "lest they forget" the
undoing of the false and untrue.
Here is clipping from the Eastman
(Gs.) Times-Journal, which is to the
point, particularly as Its truth has been
amply verified:
1.-TWO cities, Fargo, N. D., and Moore
head, Mimi, are not quite q mile apart.
Fargo, with no saloons for ten years,
has q tax rate Of 1898 mills and one
mile Of street pavement for every 676
population. Moorchead, with 46 saloons
has tax rate Of 2l.80 mills and only
one mile Of street pavement for every
$3.50 population"
This proves conclusively that the sa-
loon as tax reducer is a dismal failure,
but as q raiser of~taxes is q "howling
success" and the reason is that the bust.
ness in itself creates more lawlessness
and crime than the license money it
pays to prosecute, hence every county
with an open saloon within its borders
pays tribute for the privilege of having
a dollhouse for the development Of
criminals.
AS creator OF business the open sa-
loon is as great failure as it is as re-
Queer Of taxes. Statistics prove that
the whiskey business pays less money
per thousand for the capital invested in
it, to labor, than any other business in
the world. In other words, fifty thou
sand dollars invested in practically any
enterprise would maintain one hundred
laborers and their families, while the
same amount invested in the brewing
and distilling business would employ
thirty laborers, and then the business
seeks to rob the laborer's family of the
product of his toll by exchanging the
vile stuff he has made for the money he
has been paid.
1t is unreasonable to assume that
man filled up with ten dollars worth of
whiskey each week is worth more to q
community than five hundred and
twenty dollars invested in home every
wear. Even the saloon keeper ad-
admit that sober, industrious citizen is
more to be desired than the msudIin
drunksrd in the gutter, or the man be-
hind the bars, who, infsmed by rum,
has committed an act that has made a
criminal of him.
We make this proposition and it can
not be refuted: Every dollar spent for
whiskey is dollar taken out of enter
prise that will build town, and the
man who drinks it is less a man latter
taking" than lie was before taking"
AS business proposition, as a moral
proposition, as every other kind Of q
proposition, except bad proposition,
the saloon is dismal failure first, last
and all the time. Mr.. Bryan truthfully
says, mo one ever feeks to defend it;
they only offer to excuse it" But can
there be an excuse for q business for
which there can be no defense. Green

Do not be deceived about the prohibit
ton amendment by the specious argu-
mente of those who have an interest to
serve in opposing it. The amendment
simply prohibits the open saloon in this
state. Nobody undertakes to say that
any one who wishes to do so cannot keep
and drink whiskey, and prohibitionists
do not claim that prohibition will
stop all whiskey drinking. They do
claim that the Punishment of the open
saloon will lesson drunkenness and save
q, large percentage Of the young men
from contracting the drink habit.
Those who Just cannot get along with
ont a 'wee drsp" need have no fear OF
being cut OF by the adoption of the
amendment. They can send away and
have their jag shipped in. To be sure ii
will be little announcement to send SC
far away for it, tut considering the
good that will be accomplished no one
should mind making this little sacrifice.

PROHIBITION DOES NOT PROHIBIT.

Headed by the Times Union the wide
openers of the Florida press are contin-
ually harping on that WORKOUT plsti-
tude that prohibition does not pro-
hibit," therefore all attempts to prohibit
the sale of liquor are useless and harm
full.
Let's examine this logic. Because
certain people do not believe in comply
ing with the laws relative to the preven-
ton Of the spread of typhoid fever in
Jacksonville, and ridicule them the
same that prohibitory liquor laws are
rldiculed by certain classes, isit a reason
why the authorities should disregard the
laws regarding the dissemination Of
disease that are made to conserve the
health Of every citizen of the state, and
are statewide in their action?

The Jasper News, with tears in its
voice, tells us that the Anti-Saloon
League is trying to disrupt the demo-
cratic party and calls loudly upon its
readers to vote against statewide prohi-
bition because the Anti-Ssloon League
favors it. This same Jasper News Is
supporting an independent candidate
against one of the democratic nominees
in its home county. 1t is apparent that
the News is not so much concerned
about the preservation of the democrat
ic organization as we might think from
reading its phillipics against the Anti
Saloon League.

SPECIAL SAFE COMPLETED
FOR STORING OF RADIUM
Most Precious of All Substances
Known to Science Can Now
Be Protected.
SECURE FROM INSIDE AND OUT

London, June ga safe, the first
Of its kind constructed, has Just been
completed for the British Radium cor
poration. II was specially constructed
from the design OF the technical advis-
ers of the corporation for the storage
and protection OF radimn. and though
only about three feet i'm height. 1t
weighs a ton and a half.
Experiments made by experts prov
ed that practically the only metal
which would withstand the great PEN
etrating power of radium emanations
was lead, but as this was not at the
same time burglar proof the safe was
constructed with an interior shell of
three-inch lead and an outer easement
of similar thickness OF steel.
Another difficulty was the fitting OF
the door to prevent the escape of any
ray of light. This was secured by con-
structing a circular lathe-turned door
which has a dead" fit, and has an in
genious contrivance for Immediately
remedying any wear and tear caused
by opening and shutting the door.
Still another safeguard had TO be
taken TO prevent loss of emanations
when the door is opened. To meet this
condition two valves were fixed into
the door, through which tubes of mer-
curry are passed for the collection and
storage of emanations. Owing to the
extreme scarcity Of radium and the
demand far exceeding the supply. the
price quoted has reached 800 a mili-
gramme or something like s3,O0O,O0O
an ounce.

SUIT INVOLVES MILLIONS.
Conspiracy Relating to Option o
Railroad Lands Alleged.

Victoria, Il. c., June 23.-What
promises to be the most sensational
lawsuit in the history of British Co
lumbia came up for trial today. The
action is that brought by Henry Croft
and others against Hon. James Duns-
muir. the late premier, and other heirs
OF the celebrated Dunsmuir estate.
which acquired millions by the devel-
opment of coal lands on the Pacific
coast.
The plaintiffs in the suit claim s4.-
100000 for alleged conspiracy respect
ing an option on lands in the Esqui-
mault and Nanaimo railroad belt. The
defendants are owners of lands on the
Cranberry strawberry and oyster dis
tricts. The plaintiffs claim that they
obtained options on this land, COM
menced their development as coal
mines. and negotiated for the sale of
their rights.
They allege that the defendants
conspired as to the granting of a Sec
ond option in order to cloud their reg
istration of the first option. in an effort
to prevent competition in the coal pro-
ducing business. which they claim the
defendants have monopolized.

which went out of business after the
law became operative This did not
save them. however from complying
with the law as the attorney general
