This means not only wiping out all
licensed saloons. but it means that
private individuals, private homes,
hotels, clubs, and every other institu-
ton will be positively barred from
ordering, serving or selling liquor or
beer in any form.
1t would mean that the evils now
incidental to the saloon would be in
creased ten-fold by reason of the Sc
crecy into which the traffic would be
driven, and the blind pigs and the
clandestine dramshop would flourish
and multiply.
1t would mean that hundreds of men
would be thrown out of work, wages
would be lowered owing to the sur
plus of labor on the market, 100 or
more stores would be thrown on the
market. thereby demoralizing real es-
tate values. and Rock Island would

AT THE HOPP.

Lloyd & Whitehouse in their vaude-
vile frivolities and comic opera bur
lesque are the features of the bill at
the Hopp theatre this week. They
put on an act which is screamlngiy
funny from the start to the finish.
Lloyd is we'll known as the composer
of a number of popular songs such as
Somebody Lied" and the Moon and
the Coon" The three Methven SIS
tiers put on a pleasing musical turn
The girls are really sisters and their
act is clean and high class. Bobby
Van Horne is good at his pianologue,
Dunbar & Turner do some wonderful
dancing, Gibney & Earl are clever
merry makers, and Eden Burg, other
wise Charley Edenburg, former spar
ring partner OF Battling Nelson, does
a hand and head balancing act of con-
siderable merit

looms, eight wholesale liquor dealers
and breweries, and whether liquor
shall be sold for the next two years
in our city lawfully by them or by
joints, kitchen bars and boot1eggers,

would mean If Rock Island goes dry.
Prohibition is not temperance to start
with. The present agitation In Rock
Island is not temperance movement
but the fanatical attack on both the
liberty of individuals and the COM
munity's wel[being. Prohibition seeks
the immediate and total destruction
OF an industry that directly supports
one-twentieth Of Rock Islands popula-
ton; that pays more than one-third
the cost of running the city govern
ment that pays over 100000 annually
to other business industries not con,
nected with the liquor traffic.
Prohibition would raise your taxes,
Mr.. Reader. It would tax every piece
of property in Rock Island, every
small home, every bit OF personal
property to make up this deficit from
saloons and kindred licenses.
Considering the enormous amount
of money that this city Is expanding
each year. you can realize the folly of
reducing the income by $56400 at
single blow. Some means of raising
this amount would necessarily be de-

Actual Costs Considered.

cone thing we wish to make per-
fectly plain, and that is that we in
tend to deal with actual costs and not
with hypothetical or average costs.
Every practical man knows that costs
vary not only from factory to factory,
but from month to month in the same
factory. We are sometimes asked,
(Which cost will you take, the highest
or the lowest; the January cost or the
July cost7' The answer is that we shall
not select any one, but shall carefully
consider all, attempting to give to each
its due significance. We can never
work out figure in dollars and cents
and say, This is the cost of produc-
ton But from all the figures we can
get a knowledge of cost conditions
which will be both comprehensive and

fortunately, there has been great ex-
