recent years has drawn as much com ment as that of William Allen White in the Saturday Evening Post two monEhS ago, entitled How Kansas Boarded the Water Wagon. Since it's publication number of his, state mentS with reference to supposedly improved conditions in Kansas have been successfully refuted.
 But particular attention is called to, MT. Whites advice to states which are considering swearing off" Here it is:
 "Untin state has enough public will power to keep up the fight for at. least decade, and keep it up through many conflict, many doubt'-win- ming here and losing there-that state should try taperfng of on local op- ton rathg than to try swearing of on prohibition.
 Arizona, with her mining camps; Her sparsefy settled wide expanse of territory and her endeavors to de- ,velop her tremendous resources, will do we'll to heed the advice of this pro- hibition enthusiast
 A vote against the amendment does not mean that your community, if it is now dry" under local option, will be put back in the wet" column.
 Vote No" on the proposed amend ment for statewide prohibitionI It will be vote for the best interests of Arizona Adv. v.-Arizona Self-Govern- ment League.

WAR HALTS MINING IN CHILL AND
 PERU
Work in Great Nitrate Fields Is Prae-
 ticaIIy Stopped.

PANAMA, Oct. 3.-Travelers reach ing here from the West Coast of South America reports that the effect Of the European war is keenly felt in Peru and Northern Chilli Mining in suspended owing to the loss of the usual European markets, and since the nitrate region is practically a des- ert, incapable of supporting any oth- CT industry, the miners face starva- tion or migration as ther alternatives.
 The large import and export houses such as at Kfma and Callac are do- ing very little business
 Scarcity of gold or other suitable circulating medium has been a diff- eufty in Peru and apparently it has been impossible for the government to agree upon an adequate relief measure that would bring better con- dftfons. As a result exchanges have increased in value and it has been found necessary to declare a partial moritarium, which has been extended from time to time.
 In all of the West Coast parts of consequence there are idle German steamers which previous to the Euro pean conflict played an important part in the commerce of South Amer ica. British steamers which have shared with the German companies the carrying trade of Western South America, still are calling regularly at these ports, but owing to the lack of business are carrying very little freight and few passengers.

Kansas between 1900 and 1910. It is l true also that even in the matter of insane alcoholics, Nebraska has a bet ter record than ''dry" Kansas. As to the criminal records of both states, the official prison reports show that Kansas had 52 inmates in her per itentiary for each 10000 inhabftal t's and during the sme period in Ne braska there were 35.7 in the peni- tentiary for every 1000 0o0.
 The records of pauperiSm in both these adjoining states are likewise illum mating. The government census figures show that there are 52. 5 per sons per 100000 population in Kan sas alms-houses against 43. s per 100,- 900 in Nebraska. Remember these are Uncle Sam's own figures,
 Can you see where Kansas has reg istered any economic or moral gain bf4- cause of statewide prohibition?
 Oh, but see what wonderful record has been made by "dry" Kansas in he public schools, cry the prohibition agitators.
 Let us see. What does Uncle Sa1n say about it?
 THE GOVERNMENT ABeTRAC'' OF THE 1912 CENSUS PLACES KAN SAS TWENTY FOURTH IN TILT LIST OF STATES IN THE MATTED OF PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND AN1n PUBLIC SCHOOL EFFICIENCY.
 The prohibition leaders have com piled a Comparative Wet and Drv Statistical Table, which is printed ir their official arg7lrle ent in the states publicity pamphlet. It is designed to prove the intimate relation in Arizona between the consumption of alcoholic beverages, the penitentiary and the insane asylum.
 First, we will take up the supposed relation of liquor and the Florence penitentiary Remember in this dis tsined in state offices by the prohi- bition leaders.
 Maricopa county, which is entirely dry with the exception of the city of Phoenix, contributed in 1913 the largest number of convicts to the peni- tentiary, 7e being sent from that county. Maricopa county, all of which is dry" under local option except Phoenix, has but 36 saloons.
 Cochise county was next in 1913 with Fl sentenced to the penitentiary.
 Cochise county has 139 saloons, more than four times as many as Maricopa county and yet Maricopa county sent five more convicts to Florence. If the prohibition argument were tenab1e, Co., chise county should have sent S12 men to the penitentiary instead of @ pa1try II.
 Pima county with 40 saloons, four less than Maricopa, sent 2S to Flor ence, nearly 50 less than Maricopa.
 Gila county, with S9 salonos, has even a better record with but 19 convicted of fe1onies. Yavapaf, with 79 saloons, provided 20 convicts and Greenlee with 58 saloons, only 21.
 Does this show that crime is more prevalent where saloons are thfckest?
 The figures relative to the segrega- tion of insane by counties emphasize even more so the folly of the prohibi- tion argument.

DEMOCRATS ARE IN NORTH ID SEE
 VOTERS

Governor Hunt Leads Party of Democratic Candidates After Votes Appointments Made.
 PHOENIX, Oct 6.-Announcemen was made today by c. c. Thompson; secretary of the democratic state cen- tral committee, of the itinerary of a party of democratic speakers who will leave next week on campaign of speechmaking.
 Tn the party will be Governor Hunt Secretary of State Sidney F. Osborn, State Mine Inspector G. H. Bolin, Tax COmmissfoner P. J. Miller, Corpora ton Commissioner A. w. Cole, and; Wiley E. Jones, candidate for attor- ney general.

 The party will leave here on We'd nesday night and go from Prescott to. Mayer by automobile. They will re- turn to Prescott to catch a train for Wins1ow, arriving at Winslow for a. celebration Friday night.
 Then they will come back to Flag staff on Saturday morning for meet ing at that place week from to- night. Most of Sunday will be spent at Williams, and Sunday night there will be a special meeting at King man.

OFFICIAL BALLOTS
 NOTABLE FOR BULK

Phoenix, Oct. Secretary of State is today sending to the boards of supervisors of the state copies of the official ballot. All of the bal lots are unusually large this year,and that Of Maricopa holds the record with it's approximately six feet of voting material. The ballots of this county alone, it has been estimated will be sufficient to paper all the houses in Phoenix and have enough left over to take care of Prescott, excluding the new court house.
 The size of this years ballots throughout the state is due to the score of amendments, initiated meas ures and referred laws which appear thereon among them being the much discussed 80 per cent citizenship, anti blacklist and new tax laws. It is suggested that if much of this expert mental legislation goes into effect, Arizona will not hereafter need such large ballots or so many of them, ow- ing to the fact that her citizens will have to seek employment in other states.

 est in the state, while Santa Cruz with 12 saloons is not far behind with per capita debt of $30.O5..
 Intelligent prohibitionists concede the truth of the modern proverb' that 'P~ohibition does not prohibit" They will not deny that the cost of attempt d enforcement of their amendment ., i'll be high-that it would require a standing army to enforce the drastic provisions of the measure, even
 to the extent of preventing the ship ,1ent of wine into the state for sacra- mental purposes
 Incidentally this uninitentional or wilfuT discrimination against religious sects;. the rituals of which require the 1-se of fermented wine in their rites, is the most drastic feature of the amend ! >lent and it will be to Arizona's last ing discredit if it should carry with this thrust at religious liberty. Thinkers, scholars and statesmen
 who have studied the prohibition ques- ton from every angle, are almost un- animously against it as a solution of he liquor problem. On the other hand, they declare that prohibition has always been, and always will be, the worst enemy to real temperance.
 President Woodrow Wilson has ex- nressed himself in no ambiguous man.
 ner on this point. He declared un- l euuivocally that local option is far preferable to statewide prohibition be- cause it gave each community the right of self-government. Cardinal Gibbons, former President Roosevelt and Taft, and Rev. c. H. Parkhurst, the noted reformer, have expressed
 themselves in similar manner.
 The chief objection to statewide pro- hibition in Arizona, setting aside its destructive effect on self-government,
 is the fact that the passage of the amendment would not bring about actual prohibition. It would only re- suit. in never-ending strife politically, a heavy increase in the burden of the taxpayer, disregard for the law, and thriving business for the bootlegger and blind-tiger.
 This has been the history of every state that has tried prohibition. And these results would be accentuated in Arizona because it's communities are widely separated and many localities are barely out of the frontier period. Probably no article on prohibition in

PUTTING II OVER ON
 ARIZONA
"Drys" Caught With the Goods-Offi- cial Statistics Prove Failure of Prohibition; Taxpayer as Usual Must Pay Price of Costly Fad.
WILL STATEWIDE PRoHI- r, BITIoN BENEFIT ARIZONA?

The professional prohibitionists who have come into Arizona from other states, who have nothing in common with the people of Trizona and no in- terest in the material welfare Of the state, present in support of their plea for prohibition, hysterical arguments which cannot bear the light of reason and logic. They present figures which refute their own claims.
 Let us first take up the immediate result of abolishing the liquor traffic in Arizona Not even the rabid pro hibitionist will attempt to deny that thousands of dollars will be lost to the state and it's subdivisions in revenues now derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages.
 Who will make it up? The individ- ual taxpayer, of course.
 Where does the great economic gain to the people of the state come in, you may well ask; and the answer from the prohibition enthusiast will be vague and inconcluSiVe. He may " to cite figures gathered in Kan sas which have been juggled to suit lis purpose and his arguments, but these figures, like his logic, are full of holes.
 Where is the great economic saving to the people of Kansas you hear so much about?
 It certainly should show iL the saw ings bank figures; but does it?
 After B years of statewide Proh1pl- tion the per capita savings bank de posits of Kansas, according to the re- port of the controller of currency for 1913, were $4 15. Nebraska, her next door neighbor and in the wet col umn, had per capita savings bank de posits of $14665. The per capita wealth of dry Kansas is placed at s1468 and that of wet" Nebraska is $1S82.
 We are also told much about the great record of Kansas in the decrease of crime and insanity since the Demon Rum was theoretically banished. Yet the decrease in other states where John Barleycorn is tolerated, is great CT than in Kansas.
 According to Bulletin 119 or the Fed- eraI Bureau of Census, the total insane in Kansas institutions Jan. l, 1910, was 2912. Cook county, Illinois, which contains the city of Chicago. had 2174. Kansas had a popu1tion then Of l. 69O,949; Cook county hd 2,509,94O, nealy a million more, and COOK coun- ty is wet"
