Figures for Norwich.

As to the economic side, the facts concerning the liquor trafic in the town of Norwich furnish an instance. The following facts and figures are state authorities:
 The number of liquor licenses in the town of Norwich, wholesale 2, retail 73, beer l, druggists 11. With the in- creased license fee the town would get next year from all licenses about $37,- Oe0. This amount, divided among the people (29, 9,219). would give each about $1.1O. If that same amount of money were to be raised by taxation, 1t would make a difference in the tax rate of the town of less than 1 2-10 mills.
 Coming now to the cost of drink in the town, the liquor dealers associa- tion of the state figures Every con- servatively) that the average saloon takes in about $6,700 year. Multiply ing this by (only) the 73 retail licenses. the cost of drink in the town of Nor wich in one year is about $4Ss,00 Added to this direct cost is the in- direct. The cost of the poor to the town last year was $30,35o and it Is safe to say that one-third of this, $10,116, was due to drink. directly or rests by the police department were for drunkenness or for breach of the peace. which is usually due to drink. And 70 per cent, of the cost of the pOllCe OepdrtnenI IS aDOut S1SS0OU. It Is conservative to say that the wealth production of our state Is decreased by 20 per cent. as the result of drink.
 Net Cost at 5000.
 The wealth production of, Norwich in 1909 was $9,3S9, 900. Twenty per cent. of this would be $1,S77.0OO. Adding these various items of expense, and subtracting from them the money re- ceived from license fees, we get the total no of fa ha nf Norwich in one year as $2,359, ,000, or a little more that $S2 for every man. woman and child in the town. These figures are well within the lines of conservatism, and while they do not show Norwich's share in that part of license fees going to county and state, neither do they show the towns share in expenses to county and state caused by drink.
 To meet these facts and figures the liquor traffic urges many spacious ar guments, but here applies the saying of Lincoln: You can fool some of the people all of sthe time and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all the people all of the time."
 We are going to drive the liquor traffic from the other 20 per cent. of our country, concluded the speaker. In order to do so men of all parties must rally for the nomination and election of men favorable to the anti-saloon side. We -nfest let our congressman and senators know that we want them to vote and to work for the HoJson resolution. To these ends the Anti Saloon League of America, which is represented in this state by the Con- necticut Temperance union, Is organ iZed in every state with hundreds of men and large printing presses at work on the job, and we expect saloonless nation by 1920.

HARD TO HAVE
 JEWISH PEOPLE AGREE.
Chelsea Speaker Tells Y. Ms H. A. Association Trying to, Bring Them
 Together.

One of the principal reasons why the growth of the Young Mems Hebrew as- sociation has been slow and uncertain since its conception is that the Jewish people have no unity, have no harmony and can't agree. said A. H. Kiubock of Chelsea, Mass, who was brought by the local Y. M. H. A on Sunday night to address an audience in the Jewish synagogue, West Main. street. Mir. klubock was one of two speakers, the Woonsocket. R. l.. who delivered stir ring address on the merits of the Y. M. H. A in the Jewish language. Both speakers were introduced by Herman Alofsin. 2d.
 The rabbi spoke for a full hour and lfberally sprinkled his address with
 In introducing Mir Klubock, Mir Alofsin said he was an ex-president of the Associated Y. M. H. A. of New England and was well qualified fo speak on the association work.
 MT. Klubock, who spoke in English told of the rebuilding of Chelsea since the great fire of 1907 and said that in Chelsea, next to Boston and New Ha- ven. is the largest population of Jewish people in any city in New England.
 The city has a population of 40.0e1 alderman in the city government, two are Jews, and three of the nine school committeeman are Jews.
 After these few predatory remarks which showed to some extent the i'm portance of the Hebrew in Chelsea, Mir Klubock launched into his address proper. He said in part: Every time the Jewish people start something, you will always find someone who will say Huh, this won't last long. The Jewish people don't pull together When we started the Y. M. H. A. we encountered the same feeling, the sam' old cry. The Jewish people have nc unity. no harmony. We can't agree Why is it so? Wherever you go you will find a Jew. If you find a Jes in Russia, he is a Russian; in Spair he is Spanish. He is brought up ac. cording to the customs of his sur roundings, but he is different iron other people. because he is a Jew fl religious belief. What does the Jew in England know about the Jew 1T Russia? They can't agree because the, don't understand each other
 We tried to organize the Y. NJ. H A. ten years ago and it was fail uFe Today it is rapidly growing Why? Foreigners soon become Amer jeans in ideas. The young men be come better Americans and bette Jews than even their fathers and the, are the young men who are carryinI on this work. The r. M. H. A. is try ing to bring the family together and i trying to bring the younger set int the synagogue. We want the father to join, to be in the same organization with the son, both working toward tn same end

HOLDS COMPETITIVE
BIDS ARE NECESSARY

Bismarck, N. D., July 27.-According
to a decision of District Court Judge
Nuessle, the printing of the North Da-
kota blue book must be given out on a
competitive bid basis. The case was
brought against the secretary of state
and the Knight Printing company Of
Fargo, who were doing the work. The
work was given to the Fargo concern
without asking for bids and some time
after the work was started and after
several thousand dollars had been ad.
vanced, action was started restraining
the company from doing further work
and the state from making further ad.
vances. When the last state printing
contract was let the blue book was
specifically left out, and notice to that
effect inserted in the specifications.
