of revenue each year from the liquo

Of revenue each year from the liquor
trade. (Remember, the counties do
not receive cent? Give the business
credit for this revenue, then charge it
the increase of court costs, Jail and
prison costs and insane costs, caused
by the open saloons, and you will
more than wipe out every dollar OF
revenue you receive. This is no pipe
dream; it is the result of actual ex,
perience in -"ohibition states. In 9TH
er words, the liquor trade doesn't pay
its own expenses to the public. This
is the plain truth OF the matter, And
this is the reason why, as a general
rule. rates of assessment are higher
in license than in no-license counties
and why license counties are so much
more heavily burdened with debts.

PRESIDENT ELIOT VOTES "DRY."

Cambridge. Mass, a city of some
thing like 100000 population and al
most adjoining the city of Boston has
followed the prohibition policy, con-
tinuously for twenty years. The sue
cess of the policy resulted in the con-
version of Hon. Charles w. Eliot, Pres
ident Of Harvard University, to the
policy and resulted in his abandoning
his moderate drinking.
The city has prospered SO rapidly
under the Prohibition policy that the
tax on the increment of taxable prop
erty has much more than made up fot
the loss of saloon revenue.

Only two per cent of the nations
grain is used in the manufacture ot
liquors and practically none of that
comes from West Virginia. West vir.
gina farmers are taxed to care for
the product OF the saloon in wet cities
and get nothing in return. Even n
they don't drink they are compelled to
support the saloon with their taxes

The Question.

The Question.
God given fields of golden grain,
Bestowed with purpose wise aud good,
Shall man persert them for his bane
Aud poison make instead of food?
And shall hold myse man
Made in Gods image, fearless. strong,
If withhold my aid TO ban
A thing which is a grieyous wrong.
Can it be right TO license that
Which brings man lower than the beast?
traffic wherein waxeth fat
The Vampire at his hideous feastl
Shall that which breedeth crime hold sway
And. if cast my ballot thus,
Can l then with clear conscience pray
From evil, Lord, deliver us:
The men who in the church are frs.
To praise the Lord with prayer and song.
Are they not hypocrites aecurs-d
If they uphold thing so wrong?
Shall Ia man-lend aid to cheat
Fair childhood of it's right divine?
Shall human hearts be made to beat
With anguished shame by vote of mine?
Shall lives be wrecked, ambition crushed,
The light of genius dimmed and quenehed
The 'stlll small voice" of conscience hushed
And honor from her high throne wrenchedf
Shall prisons echo back the curs-,
4 he almshouse take its piteous toll?
Shall social life grow worse and worse
While men, for money, barter soul?
What tho for ME- there lies no charm
Within the poison cup to tempt.
Shall my WEAKER BROTHER harm?
And shall hold myself exempt,
If l, thro' lure of gold, shall place
Temptation in my brothers path?
No! wealth whose source is mans disgrace
Is cursed 6y Gods most righteous WRATH
Because of selfshness and greed
Shall work and prayer be all in vain?
MOI men will waken to their need.
Then Right DER Wrong at lastshall reign ?

A FAIR PROPOSITION

Governor Gilchrist, who Is in Wash

discrediting Of hts state by the inves-
tigation OF the Everglades reclamation
project. The governor complains that
the scope Of the House inquiry has
been limited. although much to the
discredit 81 Florida, and much In de-
famation Of its Everglades lands had
been put in the record. He went to
Warrington to present the other side,
IL possible. but chafes under the limi-
tations Of testimony.
Friday he presented q letter to the
committee the relevancy OF 1t to be de-
cided later. In his letter the governor
invited the committee to visit Florida
and see what drainage was being done
and what might be accomplished by
the plan being put into execution by
the state. He cited many authorities
intended to substantiate the claim that
the soil Of the Everglades was fertile
and rich and should be reclaimed.
Referring to Representative Clark
OF Florida. who recently attacked him
IN the House. the governor said:
In 1906, Mr.. Clark stumped the
state against the drainage project
From what have heard. I have every
reason to believe that he Is at presen,
