COCNIZED BY
GOVERNMENT

The government Of the United
States licenses the liquor bust
ness. License means leave or
permission, therefore the govern
ment Of the United States places
its seal Of approval on the traffic
but, as becomes the part of sane
men who control governmental
affairs, they restrict it. How ut
terly foolish it is for the "dry"
extremists to cry ont that those
who oppose local option prohibi-
ton, are liquor men" devoted
to the whiskey business, and
sponsors for "the saloon. ("
The United States government,
through its Senators and Repre-
sentatives, have refused the insis-
tent entreaties of the intolerant
prohibitionists, made up chiefly
Of the w. G. T. u. and the Anti
Saloon League, for the past TWEEN
ty-five years. During Idaho 3

small class it would be q matter Of
little concern if the Main street of the
city were abandoned, or fenced in.
They are not engaged in business, do
not own business property, and have
no residence property except their
homes. They have no loans on city,
property, as they prefer farm lands,
and this class of citizens can well
afford to be heroic in making a sacri-
fee of the property of other people
upon the altar of their fanatical
opinions. 1t appears that the Anti
Saloon League has found it convenient
to place this latter class of citizens at
the head of its local organization. 1t
is right and proper that all should be
willing to make any necessary sacrifice
in the interest Of morality, and if the
experience of the last two years was
such as to justify the hope Of improve
ment, the Reform League would not
be in existence today. AS an indica-
ton Of improved moral conditions, are

REFORM LEAGUE.
Frozen Facts Versus Hot Air.

1t is a condition, not q theory
which confronts US in the present
local option campaign. The facts are
ignored and the city and county are
being flooded with lot Of worthless
literature by the Anti Saloon League,
calculated to mislead the thoughtless,
and the uniformed, is not based upon
the facts Of the case, or the real con-
ditions confronting the people, and
for extravaganza and intemperance Of
speech, the statements put forth, are
amazing.
When stripped of all verbiage,
there are just two propositions to be
considered in making our choice Of
ballots at the coming election. The
first, and most important is: Has
the moral condition of the city and
country improved under prohibition
This question is so painfully, and
fully answered in the negative by
daily occurrences upon our streets,
that only those who are wilfully
blind need have any doubts. 1t Is
apparent TO all who care to know,
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1911-11-16

that for every person engaged in the
sale Of liquors before the saloons were
closed, there are three engaged in
that business at the present time.
The other question to be considered
is: Are the people Of the city more
prosperous, and are real estate values
higher than under the license system?
Grangeville, like most country towns,
is without manufacturing establish
ments, or other enterprises which pro-
vide employment for the people, and
there is no payroll except that which
is provided by the commerce and
business of Main Street. Wipe out
the business portion of any country
town and there is no excuse for the
existence Of the town, and any policy
which has tendency to cripple the
business interests is Immediately felt
by every citizen who makes a living
for himself and family within the
city limits, and results in deprecia-
ton in the value of real estate, and
every home feels the depressing effect
of such policy. 1t is true that
there are few of our citizens who
are independent, and who have ample
incomes from sources outside the city,
such as farm lands, or Icons upon
farm lands. Some Of them own homes
here, and others do not, and with this

those who differ from them; they
should not allow their feelings to
be worked upon. The men and
women who espouse the cause of
restricting, rather than attempt
ing to prohibit this traffic. are
just as good fathers and moth
ers as those who take the oppos-
lite view; they are as insistent,
place, restricted and regulated,
aye, more SO, that the drinking
will bring about a better condi-
ton of morals than under the
present regime as fathers and
mothers can be, whose aim is to
espouse the highest motives pos
sible for their offspring.
This subject has always tended
to agitate the minds of the people
and usually the prohibitionist has
become an extremist. Nothing is
gained by excitement, and sane,
cool judgment should take pos
session of the minds of the peo-
pie between now and election day
and then the ballots should be
cast as reflective of the sincere
and substantial Judgment, and

hibition. Such q thought is not
in the minds of men who repre-
sent this Nation, either from Ida
no or many Of the other states.
The Federal lawmakers are not
prohibitionists; they have never
been in any considerable num-
bers; occasionally one has crept
into congress but he has either
been quietly retired or by con-
tact with the bigger men Of the
nation, has switched his sys-
tenn
The liquor question is recog-
nized by the lawmakers of this
great government Of ours, as a
business which is in demand by
enough Of the people to preclude
the sanity of attempting to do
away with it, hence they have
Bonded their efforts towards reg
ulating it. In this they have been
successful. In this regulation
they are doing exactly what the
Idaho County Reform League
proposes to do in Idaho County.

none for abuse and certainly none
for trickery.

UP TO CHlNS in MOLASSES.
Streets Flooded as 100000 Gallons
Burst from Warehouse.

New Orleans, La.-Several streets
in the commercial section of this city
were flooded with molasses when
tanks containing 100000 gallons of
sweet stuff burst in the warehouse of
the Sugar Planters Storage Company.
Many lives were imperiled, as many
men, caught in the brown stuff, were
compelled to wade up to their chins to
get away from the warehouse, where
the molasses was thi.kest
The sticky fluid rolled out in
vast gush and spread in all directions.
Its depth just after leaving the reser-
voir was more than fifteen feet and
it reached Magazine street third Of
a mile away, with a depth of ten
inches.
Just when it was thought possible
to save much of the molasses a water
main burst in the warehouse section,
and in a remarkable short time the
water and molasses, mixed together,
disappeared in the sewers, but not be
fore hundreds carried away tins and
pals of the produce. The loss is es-
timated at more than 100000.
