Its effect upon him, as upon the Indians and
all primitive and elemental races, is to COM

free expression to a naturally childlike nature.
InAamed with drink. he is an unclaimed beast
In many parts of the South he is the laborer
and worker in most phases Of industrial life,
and his efficiency is in increasing ratio to his
abstinence from alcohol. Throughout the in
dustrial and transportation sections Of the
East the feeling is taking root that II the
notices are to be safety First" and Ell
cheney" alcohol must be banned. Several
of the great railroads and large manufacturing
consultations have with great moral courage
made the hard and fast rule that any employs
known to drink, whether of duty or on, has
no future with them.
The West met the situation with its usual
directness and idealism. II was in the last
analysis merely the question as TO indulgence
in drink which at its best claimed social pleas
ures and delights as its portion, and at its
worst, as exempifed in the saloon, was the
broad road to poverty, crime and the dcstruc-
ton of all the useful faculties in man. More
over there was the elemental fact of more gen.
eral industrial and commercial efficiency
wherever drink was banned. 1t is fact
of experience that no man under the influence
of alcohol is ever quite himself in the matter
of reliability. capacity and dependability. 1t
mattered not what the Old World thought OF
it nor how tradition haowed it, for it was
manifestly costly pleasure to every business
community, and so it must go. And those
sections where it was once riotous turned
against it, because they knew.

were cosed-an average of $50 tons per day
per man, as against 5.S5 tons per day per man
when the saloons were open.
The first effect of prohibition is naturally
dsconcerting economically because Of its de-
struction of this inherently destructive bust
ness. but the ultimate result is the transferring
Of the capital and labor employed into con-
structive channels. The story Of every dry
territory is that the money formerly spent for
alcohol goes instead for the necessities and
the comforts Of life. 1t may be set down as
an axiom that while the people in this country,
especially in the West, are willing enough to
try new reforms, they ore not willing to per-
severe in them if they prove to the detriment
of the people in a business way. There are
many states which have had prohibition as
their policy for number of years, and there
are no signs of their returning to the license
system because of any economic dissastisfac-
ton or handicap. In the Middle West there
are counties and towns side by side. of which
some are dry and some are wet. But there
are no evidences so far that the dry towns
have lost any trade to their wet neighbors.
Rockford, Ill., is case IN point. 1t is
situated in the midst Of license towns COM
peting with it for trade. II has lower tax
rate than any other city in Illinois, excepting
Jacksonville and Jacksonville is also dry. Be-
tween 1910 and 1914 its population increased
from 40 900 to $4,000. In twelve months the
equalzed value of all property grew from
SO ,7O1 900 to s20,971 0c0, and savings banks
deposits increased s250,o00 in the same period.
The argument that wide open town attracts
trade presupposes that saloons gambling dens
and red light districts are business assets,

Wheeling by converting the former brewery
into packing house. which employed three
times as many men the brewery. Another
result of prohibition in Wheeling was the
immediate coming into existence of large
number Of restaurants to take the place Of the
former saloons.
Not long after this, while travelling in
Southeastern Kansas, | met two statesmen who
came originally form wet" town in Missouri.
1t was the same story over again. They were
convinced that the money hitherto spent on
drink went now to the purchase of the regular
articles of daily merchandise. The impression

Like most men who have lived in the state,
they were very proud of it, and with good rea

practically only agriculture and grazing. Yet
the per capita wealth is large. the average
holding of taxable property the largest Of any
state in the union, and the bank deposits have
increased 100 per cent in ten years. II Is
among the first six states with low percentage
of iiteracy. and has more students in colleges
and other higher educational institutions in
proportion to its population than any other
state in the union. 1t has next TO the lowest

sctionary agsards whose shibbo)eth OF the
food value Of alcohol, under certain con-
dtons, is distorted by those interested INTO
the statement that alcohol is a food.
Confirming this inhibition Of drink, and ever
surer, is the instinct and experience OF human
nature. It is one Of the most interesting and
significant phases of modern life that 1t seeks
to order its thought and its action on facts
and not on the inherited decisions Of the past.
