THE VOTE ON PROHIBITION

In view of the fact that the voters of Alaska this year will be asked to express their approval or dis approval of the proposition to prohibit the liquor traffic in this territory, it may be expected that the campaign of education" will soon be in evidence 1t seems more than likely that the advocates of pro- hbjtlon will make a serious attempt to place their propaganda before the people of Alaska, and that speakers will be sent through the more hickly set tied portions of the territory It may also be taken for granted that the liquor interests will not be idle It IS known that in certain sections of the territory there is decided sentiment in favor of prohibition The extent of this sentiment IS, of course, un- known quantity as yet but judging by the fact that certain communities in Southeastern Alaska already are dry by virtue of the fact that they have ex- pressed themselves as opposed to the traffic, and that the district judge conformably to their wishes, has refused to issue liquor licenses in those comuni- ties, no doubt strong vote will be boiled in its favor There IS also said to have developed strong feeling among the miners and laborers themselves in favor of the prohibition of the traffic. and alto- gether the vote the question promises to be one of the most interesting features of the election.
 There Is no absolute certainty that even if the people of Alaska should vote favoraby on the prop oston the saloon would be abolished in the terri tory The liquor traffic IS one of the matters upon which the territory of Alaska by the terms of the enabling act IS barred from taking action, pro-

This proves that 1t IS the women and children who suffer most from the liquor business, and it is the women and children who benefit greatest from pro- hibltlon. Money that went formerly over 1. the bar for whisky is now being spent for clothing for the women and children and in better food for the household.
 Tt IS just like this: When you close the saloons the money that formerly was spent there remains in the family of the wage-earner, and his wife and children buy shoes and clothing and better food with it.. Yes, sir, we have found in Seattle that it is better to buy shoes than booze The families of wage e0rners in Seattle are go- ing to have more food and clothes and everything else than they had before" And is the prohibition law enforced?'

And while it is likely that congress will re- spect the wishes of the people in case they should desire such law, 1t IS not obligatory upon them Likewise there IS nothing to prevent the federal egis lature from enactng prohibition law for Alaska without the consent of the people of the territory
 Under the present laws liquor licenses are granted only upon the petition of the residents of the com munty in which the applicant desires to do business, and the fact that these licenses are renewed from year to year indicates that the people are to that ex- tent in favor of the traffic, otherwise they would not sign the petitions.

EDITOR OF SEATTLE TIMES
 ON PROHIBITION QUESTION
tkansas City Times, Feb. g.

The world is watching Seattle to sec how prohibition works out in a large city. Seattle is the largest city that has ever had prohibition It and the whole state ol Washington became dry January 1 of this year
 The strongest single force that woGkcj against prohibition in the state of Wash ington was the Times, the leading news
 apcr of Seattle. In its campaign aganst
 he passage of the prohibitory law it used all the familiar cd arguments, such as "prohibition doesn't prohibit" that it would
 orce down rents and that so much prop erty used for saloons all at once made empty and non-productive in one day would have bad economic effect, and so on.
 The editor of the Seattle Times, Major C. B. Bethen, the man who made the fight against prohibition, was at the Coates house yesterday. He was asked how pro hibition was working and if all his prophe- cics had come true. He said:
 My paper fought its damnedest against prohibition We fought it on economic grounds alone We believed that in grea- seaport city with a population of upwards f 800 900 prohibition would be destructive would bring on economic disaster. We i;eved that under our system of ljcansina gl1ons we had the liquor traffic about a< ell controlled as it could be, and we wanted to let it alone, and so We fought a hard as We could fight. But i'll spite of all we could do against it. prohibition car ri2d. and it went into effect in Washington anuary l. We have had a month of 1t

And how has it worked out 2"


 We already know that it is great bene- it, morally and from an economic stand lint. Its moral benefit has been tremcn- dous. Seattle had 260 saloons and we had an average of 2,600 arrests a month for crimes and misdemeanor3 growing out of liquor drinking. In January we had only 100 arrests and sixty of those were made January 1 and were the results of hang ,vers from the old year That in itself is enough to convince any man with 8 con science that prohibition Is necessary. There can be no true economy in anything that is immoral.
 And on top of that great moral result, we have these economic facts; In the first -hree weeks of January the savings deposits Il the banks of Seattle increased 15 per cent. There was not a grocery store in Seattle that did not show an increase of business in January greater than ever '-nown in any month before in all the his tory of the city, except in holiday time. In the large grocery stores the increase was immense In addition to this, every dry rods store in Seattle except one, and that 70 have no figures from, had a wonder ful increase in business Each store re ported the largest business ever done in one month, except in holiday time
 q wished to know in what class of goods he sales increased so greatly and so l sent 10 all the grocery and dry goods stores to find that out And to me it is a pitiful thing, and 1t makes me sorry that we did

comparison with the previous year. One murder
in two days is high average. The figures prove
that criminals still ply their trade with success
in the largest city Of the United States. We
wonder how many Of the "a murderers were ar
rested and how many of those arrested were con-
vcted Of their crimes.
Americans are still too apathetic toward the
problem of crime. Rigorous prosecution Of GRIM
inals, the abandonment of mawkish sentiment
toward the guilty ones would do much toward
breaking up the loose regard some men entertain
for the lives of others. Life is the most precious
thing on EARTH It is something that cannot be
restored. Reparation may be made for the theft
of a mans money or gems, but you cannot restore
his life if you have murdered him.

they can leave their business interests for four

well to leave our work for week or two and
refresh mind and body in the country We can
not take along Burroughs to entertain us and tell
