j. w. Neel discussed the local OPP
ton argument. He told of hearing
this argument many times and In
many places, he being q travelling
man. and declared there is no valid
argument for the continuation OF the
liquor traffic.
Mr. Neel counted the cost Of liquor
not only In suffering and in lives, but
in money. He told the convention
United States treasury are expert st
this work and that they can count L.
600 round silver dollars every fifteen
minutes. Yet, he said, 1t would re-
quire the time of one Of these for
hundred and fifty years to count the
money spent annually for liquor.
He contrasted the expenditure for
liquor with other great expenditures
in the country. He said that for what
is spent in America in year for

been built three times, or the gov
eminent could pay off the national
