Post Dispatch Tells
Truth on Saloons.

On October !, 1910, the St. Louis
Post Dispatch In spite Of its friend
illness to the breweres and saloons,
made the following statement on its
editorial page;
"In the Maine State Prison in
1906 there were l7G prisoners; COM
mitted to jail during the year, 4,4S3;
In jail at, the end Of the year, i33.
Last summer there were In the Mis-
souri, penltentiary 2,223 prisoners;
81 per cent give drink as the cause
OF their fall. In Kansas In 1901,
when a search and Seizure law was
enacted, the state prison had 724
prisoners. Since that time the pop
ulation has increased nearly 100 per
cent. Number of prisoners now, G6S.
More than 30 per cent OF the Kan
sas county jails are empty. Arrests
for drunkenness In Atlanta In the last
q months before prohibition 1852;
arrests in the first q months after
prohibition ,j!lS. Total arrests In
Atlanta in months previous to pro-
hibition, lj,0S6. Total for first 6
months Of prohibition, $3.50"
1t Is thus shown on the Testimony
of this great daily paper, which is
now publishing editorials in defense
of the st. Louis breweries and sa-
looms, that Missouri with its 1000
saloons hasfmore than twelve times
as many prisoners in the peniten-
tiary az Maine without any saloons,
and that Missouri has more than
three times as many prisoners in
the penitentiary as Kansas, and
that seVen-eiphts of our convicts in
the penitentiary declare that liquor
caused their downfall. II will take
eternity 10 show the full scope of
the ruin which the breweries and sa-
looms are innictinE upon Missouri.
But the cup OF their iniquity il full.
They laugh at law, they curse the
church, they devastate our homes
and destroy our boys and girls. Let
us roll up majority against them
on November that will immortalize
the name of the state. Vote YES

TO LABoRING MEN
FROM A LABORING MAN.

Editor Times: Please allow me "A
little space in your paper to say that
| / can't understand how the laboriug
men can vote the Republican ticket.
| We went out of the money panic in
to the rohhcr tariff panic. The lu-
/ boring men are experiencing harder
time now than they ever have in
the history OF lead mining in st,
! Francois county. Everybody knows
that the under bosses of the mining
companies told the men If they would
vote for TAFT aud he was elected
] their wages would be raised - cents
Oh the day. The men were barely
| living on the wages they were get
| ting, and with the hope of raise
| they voted for Taft; but the raise
didn't come and tie men went on Il
strike and had to go hack to work at
! the old starvation wages. Then their
| only hope was that the Republican
party would revise the tariff down as
| they promised so that they could at
! least get cheaper clothing and other
necessary articles affected by the
tariff, but instead they revised the
tariff upward In favor of special in
| terests, and the labOring men are
now paying more for everything
| they buy. And "Tihr Elvins voted
| for this robber tariff. Mr.. Elvns
said in his Flat River speech that
! he didn't believe in giving the rich
man any advantage over the labor
| ing man, and that is about all he did
do while i'm Congress-votet to raise
the tariff on the necessities Of life in
order To rob the masses. Now lac has
| the cheek to come back and ask the
| !ahUriug men to vote for him again,
after helping to make il harder for
/ them, their wives and children to
make living.
| am personally acquainted with
| good part of the lahOring men of
| this county and have worked with a
| good many ui them. Now, boys,
YOU have tried the Republicans and
all you got was higher prices for the
IEccpssarics OF life. Your only sal
| Walton is to vote Tor the party HAT
| will revise the tariff down and get
/ the necessities 81 life down IN lrU-
portion to wages. The Democratic
| purity proposes t. do that. Vote Cor
| Walter Honslcy for Congress, for
/ he is honest and viii do everything
! he can for the iahurius men If his
district, He wont 20 To- Congress
and vote for Il law To ro6 you and
I then come back and boast about i,l,r
"Tih" Elvins.
venture to say that 'lr. Huusiu"
and the Democratic ticket viii carry

and Hcnslcy will carry the district

part of October, when almost every
river in central and northern Alaska
begins to freeze over.
At the time of this writing Mrs. RE
deselle will be we'll established at the
new gold fields, having gone there
nearly all the way by water, travelling
down the Innoko river and then up
the Iditarod river by means of small
boat During the winter months all
the mail to the interior of Alaska Is
delivered by means of dog sleds from
Valdez by the way of Fairbanks. It
often takes nearly two months for
letter from the Yukon district to reach
the States
Officials of companies operating
steamships to Alaska points on the
Bering sea estimate that $1,000 persons
will leave Seattle for Nome and st.
Michaels in the June sailings, drawn
to the north by the exceedingly favor
able reports. Indeed the Iditarod
country promises to be far richer than
the Klondike. A well known miner,
now in the Iditarod country, writes
that a claim on Flat creek that han
been thoroughly prospected shows four
million dollars in dust.
We sincerely wish that big share or
the riches to be dug out will gravitate
to our female explorer, philosopher and
benefactor, after SO many years of trial
and tribulations in the new Eldorado
of the north. This little unassuming
woman is a shining example of what
will power, strength of character and
right living can do iE overcoming al
most insurmountable obstacles from
which even brave men would shrink.
Her experiences in Alaska would fill
big volume and we hope it will be writ
ten some day to show the world that
woman is mans equal and often his
superior in many ways.

This is a true story about a Presby-
terlan. Catholic. a Methodist and
Jew.
It happened in the city Of Dea

a few days Of illness died.
His next door neighbor on one side
was Hebrew. on The other side
member Of the Methodist church. aud
the neghbor The secoud door away =
Catholic
During his illness these neighbors
took turns about caring for the old
gentleman. whose wife WIS semi
invalid.
There was no help In the household
save that rendered alternately by the
Jew, the Catholic and the Methodist.
for this story did NOT occur In "ths
best part OF the city All the parties
were comparatively poor.
When the old man was dying there
was neither minister nor priest at the
bedside. and the broken hearted old
wife asked II some one could not offer
a. prayer.
Reverently the Methodist repeated
the Lords Prayer. and the others
joined.
Together the Methodist and Catholic
and Jew prepared the body for burial
and made all the arrangements FOR ths
interment
BY request OF the wife a Presby-
terian minister was present at the fu-
neral and read the burial service.
There was but one relative of the
dead-a daughter living In Chicago
and the funeral cortege consisted only
Of the daughter and the families of the
Catholic. the Methodist and the Jew.
Moreover
Those three neighbors are taking the
same care OF the old wife-through
their wives-that they gave the hus-
band And when It was suggested that
the Invalid wife go to the poor farm
the three families protested and said
II necessary they would take her e
one OF their homes.
And daily little delicacies such al
these families can spare from rathe

e wife.
