 ''rhe following was given out yester- day from South Texas headquarters of the anti-state- wide prohibition organiza- tion:
 "Oficial statistics received from Port land. Me. and San Antonio Tex, are as follows:
 "Total arrests for drunkenness in
 Portland. Me, from June 10, 1910.

 San Antonio, Tex, from June 10,

 considering the fact that Portland is in state where statewide prohibition is in force and has a population more than one-third less than that of San Antonio, which may be termed wide open town, the official figures given above afford food for deep reilection.''

Believing that prohibition has had a fair trial in this county, and has proved an unqualified failure, I shall vote for the high. h.license saloon as the most moral, economic and business-like manner of dealing with the liquor question:" said Jack La Rue of Bessemer.
 Remember the promises made when prohibition went into effect that crime would decrease and that the money spent for liquor would go into the marts of trade? This Is beautiful theory, but one not borne out by facts. Business has de- creased while taxation has increased Crime has been rampant and laws wilfully and openly violated. It has been a costly experiment for the city and state, for it costs more to enforce the law against a lawless and prohibited liquor traffic than it does to enforce the law when the traf- fic is regulated and strictly controlled.
 When the location of every liquor deal CT is known 1t Is easierf to uphold the law than when hundreds of Illicit dealers are operating lawlessly, and when one place is closed up another promptly opens up.
 An unprejudiced mind can see that the evil of the liquor traffic is better restrict ed when the authorities know exactly where to put their hands upon 1t than when the sale of liquor is secret and il- legal.
 "I firmly believe the cause of temper ance will be promoted by the operation of high-license and strictly regulated sa-

 Year

Out of a grand total of 402 examina- gist points out in his June report that 21O cases of typhoid fevere were diag- nosed.
 He points out with great emphasis that this malady is very prevalent, even greater than at this time last summer He states, however, that this showing may be due to a greater number of speei- mems examined this June than the June of last year. However, he thinks that an effort should be made to reduce the typhoid cases to a minimum.
 Dr. Duncan comments upon the condi- tion of the dairies of this district as be- ing very gratifying. He states that a large number of the dairymen have shown pleasing effort in trying to abide by all of the requirements of the law, but he states there are yet a few who will not obey all of the sanitary laws.

been in session for two and a half
months; and a brief report OF the
work thus far is here submitted.

other five in the white schools) the
work has all along been of high and
satisfactory order, and not a single
difficulty of serious nature has oc-
CURED to hinder the progress Of the
school work. It is a plain. statement
of fact-and deserves to be said-that
all the teachers in each school are
absolutely united in their efforts to
get the very best results. Harmonious,
painstaking, and patient work is be-
ing done nowhere more effectively than
right here in our own schools. This
work is telling upon the general
scholarship, and discipline of the
schools. The honor roll for the two
past months shows a marked increase
