PROHIBITION EMPTIES JAIL.

Vt has surprised even the strongest advocates of prohibition to see the eff feet that law has had in preventing crimes and misdemeanors in Greenlee county" says the Clifton (Ariz.) Journal
 For many years the courts of this country have been occupied with a multiplicity of cases mostly resulting from booze, and the several justice courts have been kept busy sentenc- ing prisoners to jail or fining them. For years the jails have been crowd ed to capacity and the fines have often run close to $1 1000 in a single justice court in one month. But conditions have changed since the first of the year. The jail has been empty at some places a good share of the time; cases have been few and far between, and most of them were slight misdemean- ors."

RUSSIA ANSWERS.

When vodka was on sale the aver age savings bank deposits in Russia were in the neighborhood of from $16,- 0O0,000 year-a year, not a month. In the thirty-one days of January, 1915, five months after the sale oi vodka was prohibited-in one month the former vodka drinkers. put $3O,000. 900 into the savings banks in the em pire. They saved nearly twice as much in one month as they formerly saved in year." says Samuel G Blythe in the Saturday Evening Post. The liquor interests of the United States are telling the people that ma tional prohibition would mean the loss of $250,000,000 to the treasury of our national government and are asking, who will make up this revenue?" Russia has shown the way. That na- tion is demonstrating the soundness of the policy expressed in these words of William E. Gladstone-"Give me sober people and 1 will provide the revenue"

MISSOURI DRYING UP.

More than half the people of Mis- souri live in territory absolutely dry For years more than half the territory in the state has been dry, but the large city population meant that a majority of the people lived in wet territory. As the result, however, of very recent dry victories 502 per cent in Missouri's entire population now live in saloonless territory. Between 75 and 80 per cent of the states ter ritory is dry, Seventy-nine of the IA counties are dry; nineteen dry with the exception of one town of more than 2,500 population. Sixteen coun- ties and the city of St Louis are the only entirely wet localities in the state.

THE HOTEL BAR.

Tt is time we ceased to insult the American public by insisting that a hotel cannot be run without a bar" These are not the words of a pro- hibition fanatic but of the proprietor of fine hotel and were spoken at the annual meeting of the Northwestern Hotel Mems association. The speaker, Mir. Leimbacker of Gardner, N. D., addressed the convention on "Prohibi- tion an Economic Proposition" and his vigorous handling of the subject called forth great applause. From the manager down to the bell hop" he said, booze makes more trouble than any other one thing in our busi- ness. If the causes for eight out of every ten hotel failures were to be carefully analysed, liquor would be found to be the rock on which the business was shattered It is an in- disputable fact that more managers lose their positions on account of booze than through any lack of real efficiency. The same may be found throughout the crew"

NATIONAL HONOR


GBy William Jennings Bryant
Shall the nations honor be main
tanned? Yes; thousand times yes.
There is no division among the
American people upon this subject,
but what does national honor re
quire? All agree that the honorable
course should be followed, but what
definition OF honor shall we aeeent2
The old blood stained definition
which the iingoes recommend or a
definition in harmony with. the spirit
of the age and the inspirations of our
people?
Upon this question every citizen
has a right to speak, and the citizen
ought to speak now before a false
standard of national honor is set up.
our national ideals determine what
IS honorable, and those ideals are il-
lustrated by our efforts to promote
universal peace They grow more
pacific as our humanitarian work in
creases at home and abroad
National honor is a sentiment, it
is true, but sentiment is one Of the
greatest factors in human progress.
1t is the inertia of the social world
in the sense that it tends to keep at
rest that which is at rest, but it is
also the momentum OF the social
world in that it tends to keep in mo-
tion that which is moving.
Every form has to overcome exist
ing sentiment, but when the reform
is once established the new senu-
ment which it creates becomes a com
peIHng force and operates against a
change.

Central Ohio has ever witnessed.
Il is the intention of the board to
give more for the money at the state

to establish a standard at which fu-
ture boards may aim. Monday will
be Ladies Free Day, this popular
feature having beer restored All
women will be admitted free Of
charge
Tusday will be Columbus Day, and
Columbus being back of the fair more
enthusiastically this year than ever
before will try to make il one of the
big days Of the week. Wednesday
and Thursday will be Grange Days,
and Thursday will also be designated
as Governors Day, as Governor VIII
lis will spend the entire day on the
grounds and will make an address.
Friday will be Children's and Old
Soldiers Day, when all children un-
der - years of age, and all soldiers
who fought in the Civil War, will be

DECENTRALIZATION

Allen county voters are beginning

means in the matter Of taxation Al

been flooded by protests from out
ragged taxpayers who object to being
made the goat for the Willis tax

A great many people IN Allen coun-

as we'll have had experiences similar
to that Of A. F. Thomas OF Harrod,
who was assessed $50 for a $l2 build
ing as told in Saturdays Times-Dem-
Ocrat
And a great many people besides
Mr. Thomas probably have begun to
think as he has, that after all Willis
boosted decentralization is but an
other name for destruction
And a great many people are com
lag TO believe with Mr.. Thomas that,

has been made under Willis is being
made up at the expense of the farm

As for the action Of the board Of
complaint in telling Mr. Thomas that
he could make more money staying
at home instead of coming to protest

ENDING DIPLOMATIC RELA-
TIONS

1t is often asked, what would be
the effect if this country would with.
draw its minister from Berlin, send
the German minister home and cease
all commercial intercourse with Ger.
many? We VIII let the Chicago Tri-
bune answer this question as follows
Breaking Off diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany gives that
country a cause for war if she
wants to take it,
Breaking Off diplomatic reia-
tions with another country with
out intention to 60 to war can be
done safely only when the country
doing the breaking off is infinitely
stronger than the country with
which il breaks relations.
I'm international affairs breaking
off diplomatic relations is the
fighting word " 1t is knocking
a chip off the shoulder" 1t is
Shaping the face" Whoever
does one Of these things in private
life must be ready to fight lie
must be ready to give or expect to
receive the first blow.
Breaking off diplomatic rela-
tions may not be followed by a de-
claration of war, very true. But
then it may be,
So the process is not simply a
don't speak as they pass by" event
It is really the premonition Of war,
IL may pass by, but it viii not do to
indulge too much in that hope. For
two great nations not to be on speak
ing terms is a very hazardous situa-
zion. If we were in that situation
now, the Arabic incident would start
p war before the month ended.
So we must not expect a pacific sit
uation when commercial intercourse
ends The nations are too close to
gether for friends that won't have
anything to do with one another
President Wilson will keep up our
trade relations with Germany as long
Us he honorably can.--Ohio State

condemnation of the petty actions of
