progress, consisting of eight, known
as the live ones was appointed to as
sist Mr.. Jacobsen in new membership
work, and the results were ten new
ones in two hours work this morning.
That work will continue until tomor-

will come together at the Commercial

best set of officers for the work. All
interested be sure to be on hand. This
looks to be one of the best moves in

going to save the cost of supporting

powd Discusses Liquor Problem.

Dr. Jerome X. Dowd, author and
well known sociologist who holds the
chair of economics and sociology at
the state university, addressed the
local students Prohibition League
last Friday night on "The Liquor
Problem, Some Ways and Means of
Solving It." He declared that the
liquor problem is one which cannot
be solved by legislation because the
people of different localities cannot be
made to conform to the same general
law. General moral culture and self
control, asserts DR.. Dowd, are the
only solvents of the great problem
Prohibition was recommended for
rural communities and all cities in
the west under 100000 population but
for larger cities and more especially
those of the east where there is q
great per centage of foreign popula
tion, he thinks that the Gutenberg sys
TEN should be applied The Guten
berg system originated in Scandinavia
and has proved successful there. 1t is
the granting by the city to company
of permit to sell liquor under GER
tain restrictions at a low per cent oil
profit All proceeds over and above
the margin of profit go to the city
treasury.
