A Word From Michigan.

The voter who cast his vote for
or against the saloon, in April,
should take a backward look.
Fifty years ago there were prac-
tically no restrictions upon the
liquor traffic. Christian men con-
doned it, and the churches were,
for the most part, Indifferent.
Men said, ''it always has been
used, and always will be used,
and what's the use of trying to
stop it?" But, to-day, nearly no.
100000 of the people in this coun-
try reside in prohibition territory.
The churches are aroused and pre-
sent a united front. Thousands of
boys in Kansas have grown to
manhood without ever seeing a
saloon. In many counties in our
seven prohibition States the jails
and poor houses are practically
empty. Crime has decreased and
bank deposits have increased I'M
der prohibition. Seven years ago
in our own State, there was but
n saloonless county, and for the
past two years there have been,
thirty mine. And the results are
most encouraging. A business
man in East Jordan writes:
"Since the saloons went out, more
than three years ago, this town
has enjoyed greater prosperity
than ever before, more houses
have been built, especially by the
working people,in tho same length
Of time. Our merchants have d
larger trade, and their accounts
are better paid. Farmers having
truck to sell, report that working
people have the money to pay in
stead Of asking for credit. The
saving deposits Of our banks have
increased more than 100 per cent.
Men, who, before the saloon went
out, could not come to town with
out spending their money and
time In the saloon, and whose
families lacked even the necessi-
ties Of life, are now prospecting
and comfortable This sort Of
testimony should appeal to every

The press states that a key OF
beer exploded at Louisville, KY,
last week resulting in injury to
several men and the destruction
of much property. Nothing
strange about that. We have often
heard OF smaller quantities than a
key of beer exploding when the
man who had drunk it had gone
home to his wife and children,
driven them from the home and
smashed the furniture to pieces.
All Intoxicating drink is explosive
and should be handled with care.

Opening Day.

Utica, a Licking county town,
now has saloons, the first time in
a third of a century. The town
voted "Wet'' under the Beal law,
and the citizens now know some
thing of the benefits of the Greg
ulated' dram shop. Dispatches
tell of the first day the saloon was
opened for business. This saloon
is located within one hundred feet
a school building, and most of
the children must pass it. About
two hundred feet on the other
side of the saloon is a church.
According to the dispatches
nearly all of the opening day
there was a line of people reach
ing from the bar to the street
waiting their turns to get drinks.
BY four o'clock the police had be-
gun arrestlng those who could not
take care of themselves, and by
eight o'clock the jail was full and
the authorities tried to rent a box
stall in a livery barn to store
away the drunks. About mid
night the jail prisoners started a
fight, broke out a window and a
number OF those who were able to
walk escaped.
Utica citizens are now wonder
ing why they were foolish enough
to vote the town "wet'' and bring
such a disturbing element into tn g
community.-Herald and Presbyter.

WHERE COMPETITION BREAKS
DOWN.

We are living in the midst of II
world whose material prosperity
has out@rowu its commercial law
and commercial ethics That law
and those ethics were arranged
to meet the needs of an age
whose business conditions were
very much simpler than those of
today. Where Il hundred differ
ent men We're doing business in
dependently il WIS safe for the
public 10 lei each man charge
whatever prices he could get. be-
cause if he tried TO get an unfair
profit others would bring the
price down 1t was safe to let
each man make such terms with
his workmen as he could. be-
cause if one man became involv-
ed in labor dispute the public
could buy what it needed from
other producers until this partic-
ular dispute was settled. Under
these circumstances we said. and
said rightly. that each man full
filed his public duty if he pur-
sued his own interest in an intel
ligent and square way. without
fraud or concealment. But as
matters are today arranged there
are a great many instances where
competition cannot be relied upon
to produce fair prices and a
great many instances where dis
putes as to the terms Of the la
Dor contract are not a private
concern Of a few men, but in
volve large public interests Of
many kinds.-President Hadley
