MONEY GOES FOR GROCERIES.

An interesting bit of testimony comes from the section of Minnesota which recently became dry through what might be called an automatic application of prohibition to region where no election was held to settle the question, namely. the enforcement of an old Indian treaty. Because of this action there is not now an open saloon in Itasca county, and as a result a marvellous reformation has taken place. One year ago seventy nine tons of beer were shipped in. This year there was no beer, but the books show that seventy-nine tons more of groceries were consumed at this point than during the correspond ing month of last year. The Mime apolis Journal says that the records of the mining companies, which em- ploy the large population of foreign CTS, show fewer layolfs among the men than ever before and the stores report larger and more profitable busi- ness from these employees.

FATHERS GONE TO WORK AGAIN.

Everybody works but father. He sits around all day; His feet in front of the fire. Smoking his pipe of clay; Mother takes in washing, So does sister Ann. Everybody works at our house. But my old man. The sequel to this once popular lit tie song:
 Fathers gone to work again. Since the town went dry. He comes home of evenings "Feein' mighty spry; Mothers down town shopping. So is sister Ann. Now that he Is sober.
 They're proud of the "old man."

LICENSE-HIGH TO HIGHEST.

In Massachusetts the minimum cost of first class saloon license is $1,000. The maximum is not fixed by law, but there are instances on record where licenses have sold for $7,500 and $10,- 900. The average price is about s3.500
 How does 1t work-.his license sys- tenn raised to it's highest power? The New York mercial-certainly not a dry speaking of the in- crease of the license fee fin the state of New York from $1,200 to S1,500 a year, says:
 Tt seems plausible to reduce the number of drinking places and raise their status by imposing heavy li- cense fees, but in practice it results in turning over the business to a few brewers who are able to finance the license fees and to drive independent dealers out of business In some cities in Massachusetts brewers and whole sale dealers control practically all the saloons and hotels and form syndi- cates to handle the monopoly so given to them by the high license law. It would be easy to form a syndicate in New York city that would pay $l0.0O0 year for each license taken out. The revenue might be increased by giving such a monopoly, but the liquor busl- ness would be run for all there was in it. and social conditions would not be improved. Massachusetts has given high license a fair test and the results are not what it's original advocates promised"

DECREASE IN CRIME.

Five months under prohibition law have now elapsed and the results are beginning to be very apparent says the deputy sheriff of Jefferson coun- ty, Alabama. The decrease in crime in Jefferson county is clearly indicat- ed by the jail records, which show a total number of state prisoners now in jail of 160 against 336 December 1, 1914, one year ago today, and this in the face of the fact that no straw bonds are being taken, and that ev- cry care is taken to ascertain the ab- solute sutficiency of every bond ap- proved
 The state pays thirty cents a day for feeding each prisoner in the Jef- ferson county jail therefore this de- crease of 176 inmates means a saving of $52.80 per day, of $1,584 per month, and of $19,00S per year.

WHAT IS THE MATTER?

AS one state after another outlaws the drink traffic the astonished liquor men ask, Whats the matter, any way?" That question is easily an swered. The thing that's all wrong is liquor itself. and the people are find ing it out The dispensary plan; the high license plan; the government owned saloon; the family liquor store; Sunday closing; early closing strict supervision; abolishment of free lunch, music, tables and games; the system of having only one saloon to so many population; local option-all of these are mere subterfuges. They are quack remedies. They do not go to the root of the evil which is liquor itself. The only cure for the liquor evil is the complete prohibition of it's manufacture and sale in the whole na tion.-Kansas City (Mol Times

PROHIBITION AND PROSPERITY.

State Senator Peterson of Mime sota, speaking of the men thrown out of employment in Moorhead by the closing of it's saloons, says:
 "The election put out of the liquor trade probably three hundred men, in cluding the employers. Those who were welded to the business of course had to seek employment elsewhere, but many of them elected to stay and go into other lines of work And for such there has been abundance of work at good wage. There has been no man in Moorhead able and willing to work who could not get employ ment.
 "The banks have not suffered. The savings accounts have increased in number and amount and one of the banks is increasing it's capital from $25, ,000 to $6000O"

WAY DOWN IN ARIZONA.

A travelling salesman who goes into every nook and corner of Arizona, wis iting the w. C. T. U. booth at the Pan ama-Pacitic exposition, asked what we knew of the results of prohibition in Arizona. Miss Brown. the director, re peated some of the statements which had come to her from residents and travellers, not at all knowing his atti tude in the matter. Then he told her that he had been in all parts of the state, having gone over the territory for fourteen years. He said: You cannot eXaggerate changed conditions. In the mines the accidents have de- creased so per cent, the efficiency has more than doubled, and the physical appearance of the communities has greatly improved The faces of men look far fresher, healthier and happi- CT. Business has improved greatly. Merchants and other business men who formerly opposed prohibition on the ground of injury to business are now it's greatest boosters and would not allow a return to old conditions. Prohibition has come to stay in Ari- zo1a. The visitor admitted that he had always been accustomed to take his glass of beer and liked a glass of wine with his meals, but declared there is not one argument for the con- tlnuance of the liquor traffic.

 THERE'S A MORAL,

From the Sacramento Union comes the following: A well-known resident Of Sacramento the other day met on a train two men and their wives who had come from Kansas seeking farms in California. He asked them why they did not investigate the country around Sacramento as it offered many opportunities for the home-seeker. They replied that they had spent three days in this city and had been much impressed with what they saw. But said one of them, Sacramento has entirely too many saloons for us, and the farmers roads are lined with roadhouses, so we decided to go elsewhere to locate"

THE TEST.

Birmingham (England) employer. who is a stanch teetotaler, recently advertised for a foreman for one of the departments of his works, and a large crowd of men called at the fac tory. When the employer saw them outside he said generally; Well, we might as well go and have a drink" pointing to tavern opposite He suit ed the action to l''5 words. and led the way across, tho r. T following. When he reached the swi.. 'oors of the pub lie house he turned ;round and saw one man lettering behind the others. and called out to him: Aren't you coming in?" I'm teetotaler thanks was the response Well. you're the man for me" the employer promptly rejoined, and he there and then engaged him. while all the others were sent about their business.

PROHIBITION AND PROSPERITY.

The city of Wheeling, w. Va, has, under the first year of state prohibit tion, experienced the greatest building boom in it's history. Other demonstra- tions of the Siamese-twinslike nature of prohibition and prosperity are indi- cated in the following items (many more might be cited)

HAS LARGE BALANCE.

The treasurer of Kalamazoo county, Michigan, the county in which is situ- ated the city of the same name, re- ports balance of $25,72S for the year ending September 30, 1915. This bal ance is significant when it is remem- bered that the county went dry on May of that year and thereby for feited S20000 in liquor license rev enue. For the year ending Septem- Der 30 1914, the balance amounted to only $6,S7S.30, practically $1900o less than for 1915, although the county treasurer received for 1914 the liquor license revenue which was forfeited the following year.

FIGHT MODERATE DRINKING.

From an economic viewpoint the drunkard is nonexistent. What big business is fighting today is mod crate drinking g'-the ounce-and-ahalf- a-day kind of thing. With the excep- tion of those connected with the trade in alcoholic drinks-and their hangers on-the entire world of business and industry is lined up against alcohol, and the battle (since drunkenness is self-confessed defeat) is being waged against moderate drinking. It is with the man who can drink and be sober, thank heaven!" that industry is pick ing a quarrel The physiologist has shown that he is morally defective poisoned atop; the medicoactuarial man has shown that he is physically depleted, warped, defective and throws away from ten to thirteen years of his imperfect life; and big business" has learned that economically he Is so bad an investment that only in rare cases is it worth while to bother with tinkering and repairing him.
