RAILROADS IMPROVE
 OF PRysiEolts s0SSs
SALE OF LIQUOR STOPPED ON TRAINS PASSING THROUGH
 PROHsBsTsON STATES

According to Moses A. Peedle, of Clarksburg, w. Va, railroa ds of the country rather like the idea of states amending ther constitutions so as to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcholic stimulants.
 This may be ooltliIy l. the impression gained by t.a 5lers enroute through dry stat35 in Pullman coaches The e-le of liquor is stopped on all trains passing through prohib ion territory and employees in c arge of the diners have often de- Jared that the road management was sorry it had to shut off it's custo- meis.
 But MT. Peedle reports ar ad- vantage to the railroads that makes t em look with compla- cency on the new dry laws.
 During a recent campaign in West Virginia, ' he said, we who did not favor the prohibition amendment to the constitution went to various moneved men and corporations to help us out n our fight. l was surprised to find some of the railroad mana gers viewing the situation cheer fully and content to stand pat or the outcome.
 I pressed for a reason, be- cause 1 know how the roads have bemoaned the fact that they had to shut down on their buffet cars going through prohibition states, and l was pretty sure they did not like. Tony surprise, a we'll known official of a taunk line stated his position thus:
 We have come to believe that a dry state here and there is of no particular disadvantage to US. We a already shut out of certain sections so far as sell ing liquor to patrons goes, and we have kind of adjusted our selves to it. You see, we have found this out: If men want to drink badly they will go through a great deal to get it.
 |" We compute that our rail roads earn tho o,sands of dollars yearly they would not otherwise earn by selling tickets to drink ecs of a dry state who live with in 20 or 30 miles of the borders of wet stGtes. They become reglla" commutoss for their liquor. We didn't believe it at first, but our auditing depart ment proved it to us. So we'er for dry st@tes interspersed be- tween wet ones; but don't tell anyone 1 said so. ,"
 How far man will ride to get an al3holic stimplent is surpris- ing. Stories are lold of soldiers in the Indian Territory canter- ing 30 miles and back for a quart of whiskey unfit to put in plum pudding.
