WORkINGMAN FINDS Other CLUB
ROOMS WHEN SALOONS ARE CLOSED

| Ii is the adjustment to circumsta tan
ces that seems difficult at first. but
10 the end il is evident that such diff
Guilty is more imaginary than real.
Another Claim ExpIodes ~
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 effectual-
~ disproyed in the past Is months,
1t 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 Arr
IONA the contrary has been evidenced.
Such buildings and" stores have been
quickly occupied by other lines OF
business. Rents and realty values
have. therefore, not been materially
reduced. ~..
In one Bisbee city, a mining camp,
there were 81 saloons for popula-
tion of $4,000. A year later there was
not to be found vacant store in that
city. Firms that had previously been
forced off the main business streets
through lack of possible locations, sc.
cured desirable situations and those
vacated by them in turn were occu.
pied by less prominent firms. New
business houses also came in and
found locations, which had previously
been impossible, for this particular
city had always been congested in
its business centers. ..... !
In the city of Douglas the greatest
smelling center Of the state, there
were Is saloons and year after pro.
hibition had gone into effect there
was not a vacant store in the bust
ness streets of that city
What is true of the mining camps
and the cities where mining and
sWelting are the chief industries is
also true of cities about which center
agricultural interests. 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 Phoe.
nix, the capital of the state. A trip
through the. business streets of either
of those cities shows no rows of va
cant stores, no boarded up windows,
no abatement Of business prosperity
because of the operation of the prohi.
bition amendment ::
Cities that had not anticipated the
passage of the prohibition amend
ment and adjusted their budgets and
tax rate for the first year accordingly
were handicapped during the first
year. There is provision in Arizona
that no city can increase it's tax rate
more than 10. per cent in any year
over the rate of the preceding year.
1t was claimed by the "wets" that the
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 ap
such limit.
With these facts established to
their satisfaction, many property own.
ers and taxpayers who openly oppos-
ed the amendment before it carried at
the polls, are now warm advocates Of
prohibition and would vote against its
repeal. III -...... /

GREAT WORDS FOR LIES JOUR.
NEY

1 The Gift OF God."-Eph. 2:S.
Some men there are who are born
with a talent toward art, others in
terpref the highest ambitions and
achievements of life in terms of litera-
ture, others there are who fulfil their
earthly destiny by the use of the fac
ulty called invention The man Of
achievement and worth in commun-
ity receives his ability first from God,
and secondly through inheritance. An
inventive Edison, a literary Kipling,
q musical Caruso, financial Roths-
child-all show the marks Of God and
the influence OF heredity and environ
ment. Heredity can cast upon the
rubbish heap of creation the unfit, the
feeble, the degenerate members of the
human family, and can also carry q
man to Sthe heights, can crown him
king over all the under-hngs of
thought and conscience, can make him
as one who has been kissed by the
great. divine forces OF the universe.
To heredity there must be added an
other word. education. The ills of
society, the economic disasters, mis-
cry and shame are in large measure
unframed man is a dangerous man to
the community, an economic debit
Every art and industry, every law and
liberty, each achievement for the
state-these represent some victory of
intellect over nature. Said the old
astronomer, Give me a larger eye,
and / will discover new stars and
suns And this is exactly what is
needed in this republic-the larger
eye-the eye to see into new realms
of knowledge, new UNDERSTANDINGS of
the diyine-men with a single pur-
pose, men ready to reveal the divinity
OF learning, who will prize understand
ing. How slight has been the achieve
ment of our country when weighed in
the balance with other countries. We
are losing our ideals and are exalting
the man with the capacity to make
money over the man who seeks to
give himself to knowledge, who seeks
to lead men into the higher realms Of
thought.
Civilization is like storehouse.

Delaware.
The report that the central labor
union of Wilmington is contemplating
lining up with the dry forces in
favor of the statewide submission OF
the question of the sale of liquors in
Delaware, is causing the liquor inter-
ests of the state unusual concern.
They have good reason to believe that
if put to vote the, subdivisions OF
the city of Wilmington, and rural New
Castle county would go dry. This
would mean dry state as Kent and
Sussex counties are already dry.

This state is lining up for state

but eight counties out of 80 which per-

Trammell favors both state and ma.

OF ADMINISTRATION ON
PHILIPPINE QUESTION

(As,ociated Press by Federal wireless)
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 17-Before
an immense crowd Charles Evans
Hughes, candidate Of the Republican
party for the presidency. last night
repeated his attacks upon the admin
istration, taking the Philippine policy
as his text for much OF what he had
to say.
He asserted that the whole attitude
of the Democratic party toward the
Philippines has been one of desiring
merely to escape the right responsible
ity which belongs to the country and
to the administration in power. He
added that the party had ignored the
question of national honor in a mad
rush to avoid the trouble of solving
the problems which the continued con-
troll of the islands involved. -"

MILLIONAIRES !.
ON PAPER ARE
NOW BANKRUPT
Collapse in Price of Anthony
Proves Disastrous to
Chinese Spectators

HANKOW, China, July 20.-Antl.
mony prices have collapsed and scores
of Chinese who were millionaires on
paper few months ago ARE now com
putting their liabilities.
The demand for anthony was so
keen early in the war and the supply
was so limited that prices scared.
Many new mines were opened, and
reduction plants were built. Human
province is the greatest anthony pro-
ducing center of the world, and
Changsha is the center through which
most of tn core is handled. That city
became regular Ell Dorado. For
tunes were made over night, and for a
time there seemed to be no limit to
the prices which producers could
command from firms that required the
metal to harden shell cases for the
various armies. ~ I.
At one time anthony in crude
smelted form. commanded over eight
hundred dollars gold per ton. Spe'
culators predicted the ore would bring
fifteen hundred dollars ton, and act
ed on. that prediction. IT,. -
But the metal trade suddenly read
justed. The output of antimony, which
is used only in very limited quantities
by ammunition makers, exceeds the
supply. Ore which at one time sold in
New York at fifty cents gold pound
has dropped to fifteen cents gold per
pound, and the wind has gone out OF
the sails OF the Changsha boosters.
Many of the anthony producers
now have ore on the way from Chang
sha to New York, which is mortgaged
to bankers for more than the present
market price of the metal ... 49,.
Within the past few weeks anti
mony producers in the Changsha dis.
trict have organized an association
for the purpose of steadying the mar
ket by limiting the output. They
predict that they will be able to re,
store prices to their highest level
within a short time, but as yet have
produced no appreciate effect on the
market. :. >'..
