THE FULL DINNER PAIL.

THE FULL DINNER PAIL.
Everybody's Magazine, in it's new
department, Keep Posted" narrates
and comments in a recent number as
follows.
"Wine-woman-and-song has gone up
against dollars-and-cents in Lansing,
Mich, and the result is one of the
most notable SO far achieved in Amer
lea. The most prominent leader of the
drys is not an evangelist, nor any
other sort of custodian of the soul. He
is simply a commercial person-R. H.
Scott.
"In the year 1910, in the factory of
which Mr.. Scott is manager, in a Pc
Rod of ten successive weeks, the en-
ployees lost a total of 1923 working
days-and the wages of those days
because of not being able to recover
promptly from pay nights spent in sa-
looms.
I'm the d-ry-versus-wet campaign In
1910 in Lansing Mr.. Scott fought for
morals and economics. Nevertheless
the campaign did not please all of
Lansing's business men. They thought
that a dry town would lose business
to wet towns near by. So, two years
later, Lansing went wet again.
"This gave everybody a wonderful
chance to compare a dry Lansing with
a we Lansing, commercially.
First, as for the cost of running the
government, it was soon found that a
wet Lansing had to spend a good deal
of money supporting it's wet citizens.
One of many proofs was this: the cost
of feeding the prisoners in the county
Jail during the two years while Ian
sing was dry had been $4,000, while
during the two ensuing years of wet
ness the cost of feeding them Cat the
same rate per person. was 81, 300.
Quite a difference for a town of 10000.
Second, as for business itself,
the proposition that the competition of
saloons in nearby wet towns would
not be half so injurious to them as
the competition of saloons on Ian
sings own streets. Their experiences
may be summarized into the statement
of a butcher who remarked merely
that when the town was dry he could
collect his back bills, and when it was
wet he couldn't.
"In the last dr~y-versus-wet campaign
in Lansing the merchants did not rally
to the support of the flowing bowl at
all. They turned to the overlooking
pay envelope and the paid-up &C
counts. The issue discussed was pros
perity, and the majority for going to
it sober was 1000.
"The efficiency of the factory is at
least 10 per cent higher dry than wet,
according to Mr.. Scott.
And a similar result is shown in the
cost figures furnished to Everybody's
Magazine by Mr.. c.. E. Bement, gen
eral manager of another company. In
a dry Lansing-and for no reason ex.
cept dryness and greater sobriety and
energy-the cost of making engines
by this concern has gone down 70
cents per horse power"

pie, especially as
under the Law they were obligated to
go there to worship at least once or
twice a year.
Whatever were Jeroboam's good
thoughts respecting the preservation of
the rights and liberties of the people,
he quickly manifested the spirit of a
politician. He reasoned that the 60
ing of the people to Jerusalem to wor-
ship would mean that sooner or later
they would be drawn back to the kings
of David's line; and that to preserve
his own power he must establish a
new religious cult. Two golden CALVES
were prepared, one in the north and
the other in the south, that thus the
people might think that worship and
sacrifice could be performed anywhere.
Moreover, be arranged for religious
festivals at times different by about a
month from the celebrations at Jeru-
salem. His people readily fell in with
his plan. 1t seems only too true that
much Of the religion of the masses is
but a form of goodness.
Were Gods Plans Defeated7
Many might be inclined to say that
Gods plans were thus defeated by an
ordinary man; but the Scriptures show
that the very opposite was the case
that Gods plans were forwarded by
Jeroboam's opposition. Let us see.
God had promised Abraham that
through his posterity ultimately all
mankind should be blessed. Four hun
dred years elapsed before any move
ment was made In this direction. By
that time Israel was in bondage in
Egypt Through Moses God sent them
word that He was ready to fulfil the
Promise made to Abraham. They glad
ly followed Moses to Mount Sinai,
where the Lord entered into a covenant
with them, that If they would keep His
Law perfectly He would qualify them
to be the promised Seed of Abraham.
But like all imperfect men, they could
not keep Gods Law,
Then God promised to send Messiah,
whose Kingdom would bless them and
afford them opportunity Of sharing in
the Abrahamic Promise. Gods deal
ings with Israel were, therefore, of a
typical character. Their Atonement
Day, their Law. their mediator, their
sacrifices, all typifed better sacrifices
under a better Mediator. Christ. Gods
entire course with them was with q
view to preparing them to be associ-
ated with Messiah In His Kingdom.
The DETECTION of Jeroboam and the
ten tribes drove into the territory OF
the two tribes the most loyal of the
Israelites. To these the idolatries es.
tablished by Jeroboam were properly
repulsive. This continued for years
until the ten tribes went into captivi-
ty to Babylon, when more of the people
gravitated towards Jerusalem. Later
on, God overthrow the kingdom of Ju,
dab. and allowed these people to &C
into captivity; but they preserved Their
religious sentiments while in Babylon.

One of the best known hotels to be found in Juneau Is the Circle City, It receives a splendid patronage and the rooms are most generally full. This hotel is under the management of William Short, who is an exper. fenced and capable man. He looks out for the comfort of his guests and sees that they get the very best of treatment. The rooms are kept neat and clean, the ventilation Is of the very best. Mir. Short goes on the principle that nothing is too good for the patrons of the "Circle City" There Is an automobile that meets all boats and gives cosmopolitan air to the hotel trade. This hotel draws trade from all over Alaska and
 it has become an axiom that "once a guest always a guest of the Circle City" Mir. Short has been in Alaska for several years and Is ono of our best known citizens. a-r

Il. w. MILLER HEADS
BLUE RIDGE RAILWAY
As Mark of Respect to lMemOry Of
Col. "A. B. Andrews, Office of
President Vacant a While.

Daily Mail.
The headquarters of the Blue Ridge
railway have been transferred from
Raleigh, N. c., the home of the late
president, Col. A. B. Andrews. to At
lanta, the home of Mr. Henry w. Mil
Ter, recently elected as vice president
of the company. Capt. ]. R. Ander-
son, superintendent, has returned
from Atlanta, where he conferred With
Mr.. Miller, and states that Mr.. Miller
will probably come to Anderson dur
ing the present month.
A meeting of the board of directors
of the Blue Ridge railway company
was held in Raleigh a few days ago.
AS a mark of respect to the memory
of the late president it was decided
not to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Col. Andrews at this time,
but to defer the election until future
meeting of TIE board, which will prob
ABLY be held some time this coming fall
or winter.
The office of vice president of the
company was created and Mr.. Miller
was elected to this position. Mr.. Mil
ler is a comparatively young man, be-
ing between 40 and IS years of age.
He began railroad work as stenog-
rapher for Col. Andrews in Raleigh
80 years ago and from the very begin
ming gained the respect and confidence
of the veteran railroad man.
Mr.. Miller, above all persons, knew
and appreciated the policies of Col
Andrews, and lis selection will meet
with the hearty approval of the peo-
pie living along the line of the Blue
Ridge railway. His selection may .ul-
timately mean the long-wis1ed for ex-
tension of the road over the mountains
to Knoxville. This was Col. Andrews
greatest dream, and it is understood
t2at Mr.. Miller is imbued with the
same desire as was cherished by the
late official.
Mr.. Miller was Col. Andrews right
hand man in the Raleigh Office until
three or four years ago when he was
transferred to Atlanta as assistant to
President Fairfax Harrison, of the
Southern railway. Announcement mas
been made in Atlanta to the effect that
Mr.. Miller has been chosen by the
board of directors of the Southern, at
a meeting held in New York, as vice
president of that system. The an
nouncement goes further by stating
that the office in this particular case
is newly created. 1t is believed, how
ever, that it's creation was brought
about by Col. Andrews death. But as
a mark of respect to the memory OF
the late vice president the directors of

the Southern, as in the case Of the
presidency of the Blue Ridge railway,
did not fill the vacancy caused by his
death at the meeting held day or so
ago in New York.
The management and operation OF
the Blue Ridge railway will be direct
ed by Vice President Miller, in Atlanta,
and Superintendent Anderson, in An
lderson. It's operation will go on just
as it has in the past. The fact that
Mr.. Miller is young man and more
active. t3an Col Andrews was in his
later years, and the further fact that
the home of the headquarters of the
road will be much nearer now than
they were in tie past, may bring the
head official to Anderson more fire.
Quently than mas been the case in the
past. And more frequent the visits
more improvements will result.
The business men of Anderson will
gladly welcome lMr. Miller On his first
visit to the city since his election to
tie vice presidency. He has visited
Anderson in the past, the last visit
being about four years ago. He knows
the territory hereabouts thoroughly
and knows a great many patrons OF
the road. He has many friends here
already, and his visit this month will
be awaited with much interest and
pleasure.
