The Saloon vs.. The People.
Hon. James NJ. Miller Of Kans

Hon. James M. Miller Of Kansas
| could fill pages with statistics and
accumulated testimony tending to
show that the liquor traffic increase
criminaIity, insanity, and public de
tendency, while at the same time it
debauches our citizenship, corrupts our
political life, and by its venal methods
threatens the stability of Government
itself. Practically every great railroad
system, together with the leading
business interests Of the county, not
only put premium upon soperity by
encouraging total abstinence among
their employees, but the majority Of
them refuse to keep man in their
employ who drinks liquor either on or
OF duty.
The life insurance companies have
long ago learned that the sober man is
by far the better risk, and their prem
ium rates are liked in accordance with
this policy In the medical world there
is growing army of physicians who
refuse longer to prescribe iDtoxcaat is
for any Of the ills to which humanity
is heir. fhe liquor interests of the
country are too late in undertaking to
defend their trade. Because of the long
rule Of misdeeds on their part, the con
demnation of the American people is
already being visited upon the traffic,
and in my judgment will continue
until the entire nation has rid itself of
this iniquity, which is so foreign to the
highest Interests Of our An erlcan civil
izatIon.
ILLEGAL SALE OF LIQUOR
1t is a favorite cry of the friends Of
the license policy that prohibition does
not prohibit, that tits productive of the
speak.easy, the bootlegger, and the
blind tiger. Men say that if prohibition
they would favor it, but assert that it
Is better to regulate the traffic by a
system of license legislation than to
allow it to be conducted free from all
restraint. Statistics do not bear out
that contention. AS rule there are
more Illegal sales of liquor in COM
munIties where the saloon is licensed
than where it is forbidden altogether.
Take the license state of New Jersey.
The internal revenue report for 1909 in
dictates that IL $40 persons paid the in
ternal revenue tax for selling liquor;
about 900 OF these are druggists, leav-
ing 10,e40; but the pumber of licensed
saloons of New Jersey is not quite 5000
which leaves pearly 5000 persons pay
ing the internal revenue tax who are
not allowed under the laws of that
state to sell liquor. Here IN license
state of New Jersey, which has perhaps
a less amount of "dry" territory in it
than any other one state in the country
we find more perscns engaged in the
i'll egal sale of liquor than two states of
Maine and Kansas.

Chiffon willing

Charleston, w. We, Sept. 90 The
head of the Department OF Mines Of
West Virginia estimates that about
one. half the population of this state is
dependent, directly or Indirectly, on
the coal industry for support. There
are employed in and around the coal
mines about 10000 men and boys.
These employees and those dependent
upon their labor, it is estimated, Will
aggregate approximately 3o0,f@0 peo-
pie. Adding 10 these The merchants,
teamsters, railroad men and Others en-
gagged in handling coal, The depart
ment of mines figures that bUO,oU0 per
sons are depending on the coal indus
try for a Livelihood The entire popula-
ton of the state, according TO the CEN
sus of 1910, was ,221, JIG.
This estimate, if approximately cor
rect, is a remarkable showing. 1t is in
disputable, however, that the great
progress IVES; irginia has shown in
the past twenty years is principally
due TO the ex tensive development in
coal mining. In the two decades the
state advanced IN population from
1862, 7S4 in 1890 10 nearly a million and
quarter in 1910. More than half the
counties in the state produce coal, and
West Virginia has ranked high as
coal mining state for many years, her
output exceeding that of any state in
the union except Pennsylvania. AS
the development is undated it seems
probable that the mining industry will
ut an early date be even more impor-
tant than the agricultural interests of
the state
West Virginia has been fortunate in
attracting the attention of capital to
her great mineral wealth. Kentucky
has been longer in the coal mining
business than has our neighborlng
commonwealth, but development has
not been so rapid. The possibilities of
the coal industry in Kentucky may be
gagged by the importance which it has
attained in West Virginia.

BLIND TIGERS IN LICENSE CITIES.


A leading paper of Philadelphia
within the past two years has charged
that in the high license city Of Phila-
delphia there are nearly 1000 persons
engaged in the illega! sale of liquor.
\ comparison of the records viii show
that in the city of Pittsburg there are
large number, running into the hun
dreds, who.pay the Government tax,
andwho apparently are not authorized
under the laws of that state to engage
in the liquor business. The same con-
! dition has been shown in the city of
Baltimore. | assert that it is more
difficult to enforce the regulatory
features of the best license law, in order
t. prevent the illegal sale of liquor,
than it is to enforce the more drastic
and simpler features of the prohibitory
| law.

LABOR AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Attempts have been made to pre-
JUDGE wage earners of the country
against the policy of prohibition. A
little investigation will indicate that
this contention has no foundation
whatever. For each 81 900, 900 invested
the iron and steel industries employ
1876 wage earners; tor the same amount
of capital invested, the lumber industry
employs 726 wage earners; for the same
investment the leather industry en-
ploys $50; paper and printing, 439;
vehicles for land transportation, S5S;
while for each 81 10000 invested the
liquor trade employs only l04 wage
earners. 1t Will readily be seen from
this comparison that of all the leading
industries of the nation none EMPLOYS
so few men IN proportion to the capital
invested as the liquor industry.

Mckennon, Anderson & Foster this
afternoon purchased the stock, fix
lures and good will of the general fur
nishing store of T. N. Figuers & Son
located on the North side of West
Seventh street and one of the oldest
firms in the city. The work Of TAX

conclusion. Just as soon as the In

owners will take charge of the en-

This purchase will in no way in

work of rebuilding the burned block
will be commenced at an early date
and will go forward as rapidly as
possible. In the meantime the firm
will install every enc of its eight
stores in the building of T. N. Fig

force of McKennon, Anderson & Eos
ter will go right on with the firm in
the temporary quarters and others
will take a short vacation.
The purchase of T. N. Fguers &
Son means that that old firm goes out
Of business and one of the old land
marks in Columbia's business circles
will become thing of the past. More
than thirty years ago T. N. Figuers
opened a store in Columbia, the Arm
then being Figuers, McEwing & Dale.
That firm continued until 1889. In
1894 Mr.. Figuers again went into the
mecantile business here and has been
in it continuously ever since. He has
built up a large trade and has made
hundreds of warm friends all over
the county who will sincerely regret
his retirement from business.
An interesting incident is brought
to mind by the consumation of this
transaction. Twenty-Five years ago
next August, Eugene Anderson, the
senior member of the firm Of Mcken-
non, Anderson & Foster, came to
Columbia and went to work in the
store of Figuers, McEwen & Dale. It
was in this firm that he laid broad
and deep the splendid foundation up
on which he has built his reputation
for ability, integrity and acumen as
q business man.
