HELPING BUSINESS

There are q great many people who
 honestly believe that saloons help
 business. There is just one business
 that is helped by the saloons and
 that is the saloon business. To every
 other business it is q positive injury.
 There Is no way possible for a busi-
 ness that creates nothing and des-
 troys everything 10 aid a community. There is an economic waste in the
 liquor business that makes 1t the most serious of all economic prob
 lerns. Tn the first place there is not
 q particle Of food value in q million barrels Of alcohol Its manufacture or use contributes not an iota to the sustenance Of the human race All Of the grain used in it's manufacture is absolutely and utterly destroyed so far as alcohol it's finished product is concerned. Before alcohS can be produced from the grain it must pu- trcfy, decay or rot. Alcohol is the resultant eXcrement of the germ of fermentation, or yeast germ. It is in no sense a food nor does it serve any Of the purposes of food. On the con trary it is q poison. q narcotic. even in small quantities having disas- trous effect upon the human organ ism.
 The apologists for the saloon busi- ness have for years endeavored to create, the idea that if the saloons were closed business would be in jured So persistent has been this propaganda that many have been led
 to believe in the fallacy. If the sa- looms helped business then the more We have of them the better. rom q business standpoint. It would be difficult to conceive of having too much of q good thing. If the saloons helped q merchant in business then the sooner his clerks spend all their money in saloons the better for the merchant and the better for the town. As q matter Of fact the merchant who uses this argument is the last to consent to its logic. He will dis charge his clerks who drink and fill ! their places with those who do not drink. Even the saloon keeper en1- blows the teetotaler behind the bar. Why does he not take his own medi- cine"
 l It is q foregone conclusion that the man who spends his money for liquor cannot spend it for anything else He buys less groceries, less dry goods,
 less clothing. less furniture, less ot everything of substantial character,
 He cannot get his wife and children
 the new clothes they need. How Is the
 merchant benefited? Is it not appar-
 ent that the only way to help the merchant is to abolish the saloon and make it impossible for his prospective customer to spend all of his money in the saloon before the merchant has
 chance to sell him the goods he really needs?
 1 Abolish the saloon and the money now going over it's counters for liquor would go for food, clothing and other
 necessities Of life and business would experience marked revival instead ot

TRIAL OF THE NEGRO PLOT

There is q certain amount of simi- arity in the New York Negro Plot md that of the New England Salem Witches, They We're both the out ome of bigotry and prjudice, and each instance clergymen Were mong the sufferers.
 The Negro Plot was one of the aost curious and interesting events the history of society in this coun- " during the Colonial period. It oc- urred in TAI, fifty years after the 1itchcraft delusion In every way he New York plot runs parallel with le witchcraft trialS-in the absurdity the delusion, in tho forocity of the opular excitement in the violence hat was done to common sense, req on and the law, and in the bloody nd awful results Of the proceedings
 In many ways the New York plot caches a more important lesson than nat Of a half century before in New ngland. The latter illustrates the ind and destructive energy of the opular passions, under circumstances nd influences belonging to an age comparative ignorance and super tition, and which can never occur gain, while the former illustrates the lme blind and destructive energy Cf le popular passions. under circum- tances and influences belonging to Il times. and which is every now nd then repeated, though on a much mailer scale.
 A considerable degree of iIl-feeling ad for some time been growing be- Heen the white and the colored peo-

The assions of the respective parties ere inflamed by frequent collisions nd difficulties occurring between in- 'viduals The whole mass of accu- uiated fear, prejudice, hatred and avenge was at last kindled. as by a ark, on the utterance of the cry.

LIKE GOOD WINE
 NAVAJO BLANKETS
illustrations Of Way in Which They
 Increase in Value.

Anything that is staple is said to be "as good as old wheat" There are some other things better, such Navajo blankets as are sold at Bal kes Big Curio Store. Those that are not sold this year will be worth from ten to twenty-five per cent more next season. There can be no deteri- oration in price or quality. IT man handling blankets has more than he can sell in one season he will make money paying storage on them. for the advance in price will be much more than the cost of storage. He cannot afford to sell them at dis count.
 The Big Curio Store has never got rid of a blanket by offering it al q discount On the contrary, it has often paid much more. twice or three times as much. to get a blanket back as it sold 1t for some years before
 Here are some incidents tO show how Big Curio Navajo blankets have increased in value: The other day when the Sells Floto circus was here
 the wife of the manager of Buffalo Bills department called at the store
 to say that she had bought two blankets there thirteen years before,
 when the Wild West show visited
 Phoenix. She paid $45 apiece for
 them. She did not want them. but
 she learned that her husband had lost s90 at roulette the night before. and she determined to blow in the
 same amount for something.
 But if she bought the blankets be- cause she was mad, her anger had left her when inquiring thirteen years after at tho Harvey House in Albuquerque. while the show was there on it's way to Phoenix, she found the price of blankets of that
 grade was $950.
 Now here Is the way that grade of blanket has grown in value: Not long after that. Mir. Bake sold one of these blankets to C. A. Baldwin of Tempe for $50 and for several years Mfr. Baldwin has had q standing of fer of s100 for it. 11r. Bake for one, made him that offer Mrs J. II. Slaughter subsequently, bought one ! of these blankets at the Big Curio Store. paying S75 for il. When Major l Archibald Butt was here with Presi- dent Taft he paid s100 for one of
 these blankets, and later ordered an- other just like it at the same price. l Colonel Roosevelt was here two years later and paid $150 for blanket of l exactly the same grade. There is
 nothing on sale growing faster in value than a genuine Navajo blanket 1 of good -(AdvertisemenD
