Chief OF Police and License IN

ing that the first three months OF pro-
hibition has reduced drunkenness by
so per cent. Taking the four cities
of this province as a basis of our
calculation, we find that drunkenness
has been reduced in the city of Win
nipeg for the first three months Of
prohibition to ISL as against 8l3 for
the corresponding period last year. In
Brandon the reduction had been to
nineteen as against 1873: in Portage
La Prairie, eleven as against eighty
and st. Boniface, five as against fifty
nine. This shows the total arrests for
drunkenness for the three months be-
ginning June l to be 1876 against L.
0S5 for the corresponding period last
year. reduction OF $50. or 50 per
cent
All other crimes have been reduced
by So per cent The total commit
ments to the five jails OF the province
for June, July. August, 1915, were 355.

City of Boulder, Colo. Oct. 4, 1915.
1t gives me much pleasure to reply
to your inquiry as to the effect Of pro-
hibition in this city and Colorado.
1t has greatly reduced drunkenness,
crime and vice. The Improvement in
this respect has been very noticeable.
It's tendency has been distinctly to re-
duce poverty, and many families are
now comfortable who before were
poverty-stricken. The effect on bust
ness has been decidedly good. Mer-
chants both here and in Denver re-
port good increase in business, COL
lections are very much better, and
there has been heavy business In
bank deposits.
There is comparatively little boot
Logging, and detection and punish
ment sooner or later overtakes those
who engage in it. This is true, in spite
of the fact that liquor Is easily OBJ
tainable at Cheyenne. within easy
distance of us by automobile.
My experience as chief of police
here for manv wears ma has lu rov
firmed my previous conviction that
any city or state gains in every way
by adopting the policy OF prohibit
ton. Yours truly,
L. p. BASS,
Marshal.

When tho clouds are hanging heavy
And the sun Is hid from sight
And we scan the gray horizon
Vainly for one CLEAN OF light:
When the burdens that we carry
Bend our faces toward the SOD.
And among the race of mortals
Find ourselves mortal clod,
We recall the Man Of Sorrows,
Long ago on Calvary,
Tasting death to teach the lesson,
Glorious God. to you and me.
Ho arose and stands forever
Paramount at Gods right hand,
And His words adown the ages
Echo over sea ana land.
Works that have done among you.
If My words in you abide,
Shall be done by you and greater
When reach My Fathers side.

Shall we earthly trials scorno
Speak within us, faith renew us
