JOE GRAY WRITES IN HONOLULU OF GREAT
 PROHIBITION STRIDE
Former Bisbee Man Tells the Readers of Hawaiian Paper About Southern Arizona Under the Dry" Regime.

Joe Gray, formerly secretary of the Warren District Commercial Club and connected at various times with vari ous newspapers in Arizona, has broken into print in the Honolulu Star-Bulle- tin, of which he is the city editor, ad- vocating prohibition. His article which details the good points of a dry" state is reprinted. It will be of much interest to the many friends of the former Bisbee man.
 That the saloon is the Poor Mans Club" and that he is as much enti- tied to his club and has rights therein equal to the man in better circum- stances is ever argued by opponents of prohibition. That other meeting place, which will serve equally as well for club" purposes will replace the saloon he either does not consider or denies.
 When prohibition was voted into Arizona's constitution and in the 10 weeks before it became operative, prac- tically every respectable club in the state disposed of its stock of liquors, either over its bar or by auction sale among its members. Those that did not put the liquor away in cellars or vaults under lock and key. Thus the club member retained no privileges" for the use of liquor that were not equally retained by the habitue of the saloon.
 Soft drink establishments replaced many of the saloons in Arizona when

WIFE OF OFFICER WHO
 COMMANDED AT NACO
 DIES IN HAWAIIAN IS.
Mrs. Susan Guilfoyle, Wife of Col. J. F. Guilfoyle, Form erly of Naco and Douglas, Is Called to Rest.

In the death of Mrs. Susan Guil- foyle, wife of Col. John F. Guilfoyle, many people in the Warren District and Douglas and at other points in this section, lost a good friend. Mrs. Guilfoyle was well known locally, her husband being stationed at Naco and at Bisbee for many months.
 The Honolulu ar-Bulletin-Mrs. Guilfoyle died in Hawaii-prints the following of the death:
 Following a long illness from can cer, Mrs. Susan Guilfoyle, wife of Col. John P. Guilfoyle, commanding officer of the 4th Cavalry, Schofield Barracks, died at her home in the cavalry can tonment at Castner, Sunday morning about II o'clock. Her death has caused sincere sorrow to her many friends on Oahu, as she was loved not only by those of the army who knew her but by her friends in civil life in Honolulu. She had been con lO ltl lOl NAlt AdSN weeks. and was planning a trip to the mainland to benefit her failing health.
 Born at Fort Bliss, Texas, in 1865, Mrs. Guilfoyle was the daughter of Col. William B. Lane, U. s. A., con- manding a cavalry regiment stationed at the famous old Texas army post. She was thus an army girl, brought up in the army and remaining in 1t all her life. Her acquaintance with army people was very extensive, so that her death will be mourned in many places.
 Mrs. Guilfoyle had been on Oahu since last fall having come to SchO- field Barracks with Col Guilfoyle last November when the colonel arrived here from Douglas. Arizona, where he was commanding officer of the border cavalry forces stationed at Douglas for two years during the troublous times prior to the present Mexican situation. There Col. and Mrs. Gull foyle made themselves very popular with mining and business men of Douglas and their families, and were held in high esteem by all who know them. News of Mrs. Guilfoyle's death will come as a severe blow to all her friends in Arizona.
 There are two children left by Mrs. Guilfoyle, Mrs. Hoyle, wife of 1st Lieut.. Rene E.. DeR. Hoyle, 1st Field

the state voted dry. Billiard halls also introduced soft drink bars. Tables were put in where dominoes, card games other than those banned by law or for money might be played, and other accommodations furnished for those who would formerly find them in the saloon. These places have re- placed the saloon as the poor mans club" as fully as has the soft drink bar replaced the old type of bar in the regularly organized and conducted club.
 It is not uncommon to see a party of men shaking dice or playing slot machine" for candy instead of for the drinks and taking their winnings to "kiddies" at home. Where formerly after a game of cards, drinks were or dered, now the thirsty has a soft drink served, because he really wants it, oth- CTS take cigars or cigarettes, others take candy for the children and still others accumulate checks until they have enough to exchange for a really fine box of confections for the wife at home.
 Thus it is at the dry" poor mans club and at the richer mans club as well, that the man has the same recre- ation as formerly and that at the same time the family receives luXuries which they did not formerly enjoy.
 The poor man has not been deprived of his club, only of the stimulants he was accustomed to secure at it.

but in the end it is evident that such difficulty is more imaginary than real.
 ANOTHER CLAIM EXPLODES.

1 but in the end it is evident that such difficulty is more imaginary than real. l ANOTHER CLAIM ExPLODES.
 That the closing of the saloon by prohibition means vacant stores and homes and depreciation in realty val ues has long been a stock argument used by the opponents of prohibition. | This argument the various cities of ! Arizona have answered and effectually disproved in the past IS months.
 It is true that the first and most | immediate result of the closing of the saloon is to make vacant the house which it formerly occupied. But that such building or room remains vacant does not necessarily follow. In Ari- zona the contrary has been evidenced. Such buildings and stores have been quickly occupied by other lines of busi- ness. Rents and realty values have, therefore, not been materially reduced.
 In one Bisbee city, mining camp, there were 31 saloons for population of 13,000. A year later there was not to be found a vacant store in that city. Firms that had previously been forced off the main business streets through lack of possible locations, secured de sirable situations and those vacated by them in turn were occupied by less prominent firms. New business houses also came in and found loca- tions, which had previously been i'm possible. for this particular city had always been congested in its busi- ness centers.
 In the city of Douglas the greatest smelling center of the state, there were 15 saloons and year after pro hibition had gone into effect there was not a vacant store in the business streets of that city.
 What is true of the mining camps and the cities where mining and smelling are the chief industries is also true of cities about which center agricultural intersts. In such cases, however, the recovery, the filling up of the buildings, stores and rooms have not been so rapid. Examples of these cities are Tucson and Phoenix, the capital of the state. A trip through the business streets of either of those cities shows no rows of vacant stores, no boarded up windows, no abatement of business prosperity because of the operation of the prohibition amend ment
 Cities that had not anticipated the passage of the prohibition amendment and adjusted their budgets and tax rate for the first year accordingly were handicapped during the first year. There is a provision in Arizona that no city can increase its tax rate more than 10 per cent in any year over the rate of the preceding year. It was claimed by the "wets" that cities of Arizona would be unable to meet their running expenses. Such has not been the case and there is not city in the state that had to raise its tax rate to any figure approaching such limit.
 With these facts established to their many property owners
