Should Profit by Experience

Those of us who read reliable news papers keep informed as to the doings of the world, and know that prohibition is not a success in any state where stump tuary laws are on the books" said Henry F. Hayes of Kentucky, but some prohi- bitlonists are so biased and SO set in their notions that they will not believe any thing they read that can be used as an argument against their cause.
 T wish that every prohibitionist could visit Maine. where the constitution has for about 50 years prohibited the liquor traffic. Ten years ago my business took spent several summers at pleasure re- sorts in that state.
 Prohibition in Maine is worse than a farce. It is a terrible scandal, and has made politics about as rotten as one could imagine. Maine is a slow-going state from many points of view. It has valua- ble natural resources, but it's population slowly, and in the matter of illiteracy it is near the foot of the list of states. With Maine as an example 1t is almost inconceivable how the people of any fourishing state in the south would try to enaA radical prohibition laws. The effort on the part of Alabama politicians who happened to be in power few years ago to write statewide prohibition in the organic law looked like sheer madness.
 ''The Anti-Saloon league worked up a mighty commotion, and succeeded in hav- ing prohibition laws enacted in several states. But local option is essentially an American doctrine. and no state is going to remain outside of the local option col umn for any length of time"

PENITENT BRIBE.TNKERs

Reports from Adams county, O.,
show that the bribery investiga, ion
has become more like a religious
revival than judicial proceeding.
Instead of waiting to be indicted.
or even accused. the penitent
bride takers are crowding the
court almost beyond it's capacity
to deal with them.
On Tuesday the streets of West
Union were so thronRed with
offenders from the country that
the women of the churches felt
called up to serve them with coffee
and sanwiches. A number of
particular cases attest the moral
impulse that animates the move
ment and urges to confession.
A woman 60 years IF age, who of
course. had no vote to sell, went
before the judge to confess that
she had sold the votes of her
husband and son. An old man on
his death bed. by his grandson, and
the grandson himself, who voted
this year for the first time added
the confession that he also had
sold his vote.
Such mental epidemics are not
infrequent in religious experiences.
In fact, nearly all REVEALS are
based upon them, and the voices of
confessing sinners have been heard
by neary all pastors. But this is
the first recorded instance of a
poiticall penitence visi ing a whole
community and prompting to con-
fess in court. Also it is the first
instance where offenders on the
way to court to confess their
crimes have been met with
refreshments by church societies.

SILVER USE IN THE
WORLDS CO|NAGE

the American Smelling and Refining
company, discussing the silver
question, says:
while India and China remain
the principal consumers of silver,
it is encouraging to see the large
amount which is being used
throughout the world for strictly
coinage purposes, even in the
countries where the gold basis is
firmly established. The demand
for, gold, however, in these
countries has been equally
prominent and much more disturb
ing to the general financial con-
dition of the world. While no one
believes now that the policy
proposed by Bryan in his political
campaigns was sound or saivanta-
geous, yet it does seem that the
commercial and financial authorities
of the world should have either
provided for greater uses of silver
or confined the demand for gold to
the strictly gold countries and
allowed silver to remain the only
metal demanded by the business
of the so called silver countries
of that period
IF mistakes have been made in
the past regarding this subject we
should certainly learn from the
result and not allow ourselves to
make similar mistake in the
furture. At the present it is we'll
known that prominent banking
interests of this country are
negotiating with China with
reference to loan of $4,000, 600
largely to be used to establish a
currency system for China.
When we consider the enormos
population and the great latent
wealth of the empire of China,
the commercial world can well
hesitate before it would encourage
a system of currency reform in
China which will require gold
either in bank or currency reserves.
Doubtless only silver could
circulate, but the amount of gold
which woud be drawn from the
commercial centers of the world by
such a country as China, even il
only to be used as the reserves are
used in India. Philippine island.
and Mexico. the demand would
certainly be enormous and warn.
ing note should be sounded before
a step in taken which will be
regretted later.
THE political campaigns OF
Bryan have made such an impress.
sion upon the world that every
country with any growig commerce
has seemed to have had the
ambition to copy the more
prosperous commercial countries uf
the yellow metal, which
apparently has been sorely needed

commercial nations, have beer

countries as Egypt, Turkey, India,
Philippine Islands, Straits settle.
ments, Mexico, Japan, Argentine
Republic, Cuba and, to limited
extent, but to a growing extent,
to all of the countries of South
America.
"The increased production of
gold in the world has been
enormous. but the demands seem ia
have more than kept pace with
the supply. If the countries named
above could have been given some
method of establishing their cur
rency based upon silver, so that
they would not have demanded gold
it would seem that a great relief
would have been obtained by
financial centers."
