WHAT 1T MEANS.

If statewide prohibition pass
eS, the increase in the rate of tax
es levied upon all kinds of prop
erty, including farm lands, bust
ness property, homes, the savings
of the people in banks, etc, would
Immediately increase more than
forty per cent. Conservatively
stated, it means that for every
dollars state tax a citizen pays
at the resent time, he would
have to pay $1.4O if the Prohib-
ition Amendment passes.
1t will wipe out plants which
are now interested in the manu-
facture of alcoholic beverages in
Missouri, which have a combined
value of $14O,O 900, 900. Why de-
stroy these vast properties when
the Interstate Commerce Law
will permit liquor to be shipped
in by the train loads from other
states7
1t would wipe out at one fell
blow a payroll of $4,000 900 to
wage earners now employed IL
the manufacture of alcoholic bey
erages in this state. This money
supports $4,000 people. Are
they not entitled to passing con.
sideration?
During 1906 the cities and com
ties of Missouri received over SO
100000 from saloon licenses whic
money was applied to building
roads and bridges and other
wise paying the expense of muu
nicipal and county governments
Last year the brewers and dis
tillers of Missouri bought, ap
proximately $25, 100000 worth o
corn. Pass the statewide pro
hibition amendment and thi.
great market will be destroyed. A
sordid argument, you say: b
that as it may, there is nothin,
like looking at all sides Of a grea.
public question.

Il side with Bishop futile, -
declared the Rev. W. J. MeKit-
trick, pastor Of the First Presby-
terian Church at Sarah Street
and Washington Boulevard, when
told that the Episcopalian clergy
man had taken a decided stand
on the liquor question.
II am strongly in favor OF lo-
cal option, declared the Rev. DR..
5. ]. NiccollS, pastor of the See
ond Presbyterian Church. While
I should be very glad if we had
statewide and national prohibit
ion, | do not think we are ready
for it yet. / shall vote the pro-
hibition ticket, but | favor local
option as the most satisfactory
way of settling the liquor prob
lem.
Prohibition is a fraud, said
the Rev. DR.. Samuel Sale, OF the
Temple Share Emeth. Il am
opposed to prohibition in all its
forms, statewide and national.
But | would not fight against To-
cal option because | believe each
community should have the right
to legiSlate according to its own
needs. l shall vote and use my
Influence against prohibition.
Archbishop j. j. Glennon, when
seen by a Times reporter, dc.
clined to state his personal views
ON prohibition, but gave the fol
lowing statement, as showing the
position taken by the Catholic
Church, and as such, indorsed by
all its clergy;
''The Catholic Church be-
and teaches; (1) That
temperance is a virture-temper-
ance in all things-in eating,
drinking, talking and in all the
activities of life. % That to-
tai abstinence from all intoxicat-
ing liquors is commendable and
advisable for those who are liable
to drink too much. (3) 1t be-
lieves in advising the individual
not to drink rather than to pro
hibit him by law

Gov. Hadley's Position.

In a letter written to Walter
5. Dickey, May l8, 1905, Gov.
Hadley tersely defined his
position on Statewide Prohibition
and among other things said:
4 am not in favor of the
statewide prohibition. l do not
believe that the cause of tenn
peranee or good government
would be subserved by the adop-
ton of such an amendment in
this state. Missouri is am em-
pire in itself, not only in
geographical extent, in the mag
nitude and diversity of its re-
sources and industries, but also in
the marked difference in the hab-
its, customs and conditions in the
life of the people in the different
sections of the country. All of
these circumstances, in my opin-
ion, emphasize the difficulty of
undertaking to establish and en-
force in the entire state a system
of laws affecting the personal
habits Of the people, and inter
fering with what many regard as
their rights of personal liberty.
Under our present system of
laws, the people of the several
counties and cities have the
right to adopt prohibition therein.
| not only believe in the fairness
Of this legislation, but also be-
lieve that such amendments
should from time to time be a.
dopted to those local option laws
as Will result in the further re-
s%triction and suppression Of the
evils of the liquor traffic.

STONE AGAINSTT 1T.

(From the Republic Oct. LIST
Senator Stone, who was in st.
Louis yesterday was asked for
his opinion on the Prohibition a.
mendment and said:
81 think the amendment will
be defeated by a decisive ma
jority. I expect to see a ma.
jority of the counties vote for the
amendment, but | expect to see
the majority in the counties vot-
ing against it offset the majority
given by the counties voting for
it, so that the vote as it will come
to st. Louis, Kansas City and st
Joseph will be pretty evenly bal
anced and those three cities will
give a large majority against it.
Il feel quite sure the amend.
ment will be defeated this year
and | hope it will end the strug-
gle in this State. But it may
not, That depends.
Personally, as l imagine all
know, for | have stated my posi-
ton frequently, | am opposed
absolutely opposed-to State

stands in the law to-day.

in the depot yards last evening, and.

rancy and appeared this morning TO
testify. After the railroad employees
had said their say and the boys OF
the road had told their stories, the
court ordered that the men be releas-
ed, il being determined that the men
are not tramps, nor trespassers.
Seventeen OF these men were ar
raigned and not one OF them had the
appearance of being a tramp, a vag,
a beggar or a thief, and the stories
they told indicated that they were
laboring men out OF employment. en-

them were boilermakers, machlnists,
