THE FULL DINNER PAIL.
Everybody's Magazine, in its 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 commercial person-R. II.
Scott.
an the year 1910, in the factory OF
which Mr.. Scott is manager, in a pc
riod 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 dry.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 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 dry Lansing with
wet Lansing, commercially.
First, as for the cost OF running the
government, 1t was soon found that q
wet Lansing had to spend good deal
OF money supporting its 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 (at the
same rate per person. was s11,300.
Quite a difference for a town OF 10000
Second, as for business itself,
scores of merchants we're converted to
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 statements
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.
I'm the last dry-versus-wet campaign
in Lansing the merchants did not rally
to the support of the flowing bowl at
all. They turned to the overhowing
pay envelope and the paid-up ac-
counts. The issue discussed was pros
perity, and the majority for going to
II sober was 1900.
"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 10
cents per horse power"

FOOD FOR TAXPAYER.

Census bureau statistics show that
for the year 1913 the liquor revenue
received by state, county and munich
pal governments amounted to only
$79,516,9S9, or a per capita of SO cents.
This includes all incorporated places
Of $500 people and over. This liquor
revenue constituted only 4.3 per cent
OF the total state, county and munich
pal revenues, s1,s45,9O1, ,12S. To put
II simply, the states. counties and
cities got total revenue of s19 per
capita and liquor revenue of only
$O.S2.
Inasmuch as the per capita drink
bill of the American people is in ex-
cess of S2S, it is apparent that we
spend about 81 for every three and
one-half cents returned to the states.

Let us look these questions square
ly in the eye.
Does the liquor traffic pay the
United States?
Does II pay financially?
Does It pay commercially
Does II pay industrially?
Does 1t pay physically?
Does 1t pay mentally?
Does 1t pay morally?
What single good thing can be said

OF drinking alcohol?
Nothing?
Then why not kill the traffic with
