have been definitely placed as
great causes Of the use OF liquor.
The worlds students, regardless
of political lines, agree on this.
Take away the condition, give a
wholesome environment, and a
better type Of citizenship results,
with improvement III moral and
personal status.
The common people have found
that legislation in their interest
has wrought great change. Since
Woodrow Wilson has been in the
White House, the condition of the
American producer has been
changed. Where before he was
at the mercy of the special inter-
ests, now he is beginning to get
on his feet. Wall street can no
longer break his bank or bring a
panic. Manufacturers must de-
pend on the law of competition
and not on the rule of force. Hours
must not reach to II and Is day.
The children can not labor when
they should be at school. The
family can not buy drugs like
they could in the good old repub-
lican days. And the country is
reveling in the money Of Europe,
instead of being at war with Ger
many and with Mexico. Wages
are high, and men are not out OF
employment. The industrial re-
views mark this present period as
at the greatest tide in the history
of the country. No wonder the
working man does not crave liq-
uOr. He has something better in
sight.
Why has the condition changed!
Look up the legislation of the past
three years, and the steadfast at
tention of our president to the in
terests Of the PEOPLE. While
Wall street and the favored in
terests howl for a return to Taft
methods under Hughes, the popu-
lace is reaping the results of a
clean citizenship administered by
a genuine American citizen. Pros
perity and sobriety have a chance
to abide in the home. No wonder
the captains of intoxicating in
dustry want a change. Their
sales records demand it.

WILSON A PROGRESSIVE

Eighteen months before the
birth Of the Progressive party
Woodrow Wilson, then governor
Of New Jersey. gave this deani-
ton of progressive and so
classified himself la ali address
before the Kansas Society OF
New York Jan 20. 1911:
"By radical | understand

conservative one who does

tonary' one who won't 90

Under Democratic influences
during the six year period since
standpatism was overthrown in
the house of representatives. In
1910. 90 per cent Of the program
of reform advocated by the Pro.
eressivs party has been enacted
into law. Invisible government"
which Is now making desperate
efforts to "come back" has been
driven from power under Presi-
dent Wilson's 8 administration and
will have no place In Washing
ton 80 long as he Is In the White
House.

posits in North Dakota and South
Dakota since 1912 have grown ~

union showing a decrease Of bank

"The labor union vote OF Wash
ington will almost unanimously
oppose Governor Hughes for presl-
dent" declares Harley II. Hughes,
well-known Spokane union leader
and an executive officer OF the
Washington State Federation OF
Labor.
"When | make this assertion, l
have some facts to back it up.
The labor press of this state as
well as in nearly every state in the
union is joining in the opposition
to the election of the New Yorker,
on the grounds that his attitude
in public life as we'll as on the
supreme bench of the United
States has been unfavorable to la
boring men. The labor papers OF
Washington have consistently
whacked' Hughes and will con-
tinue to do so. | believe that the
dved-in- -the-wool socialists will
support the socialist candidate IN
this state and no doubt some OF
the 'hard-boiled republicans will
vote for the G.. O. 2. nominee, but
the majority of the workingmen,
be they democratic or republican,
will support President Wilson, for
his constructive legislation has
been a source of great satisfaction
to the working class. y
Mr., Hughes stated that he had
made a canvass of the state in the
matter of determining the senti-
ment of working men in national
politics and that he predicts a
sweeping victory for President

Not since 1905 has the nation s
drink bill been 50 low as during
1918, notable for marked de
crease in the per capita consump-
ton of malt and spirituous liquors
amounting to 2.70 gallons per
capita. No such great change
marks the record for 20 years.
From 1901-05 the use of alcoholic
beverages was almost on a dead
level for four years, being an
average of 1861 gallons. The
next five years the average rose to
21.96 gallons, the extremes of the
period being 22.79 gallons.
A drop is recorded from 225O
gallons in 1914 to 1890 gallons in
1918. Here is a 10 per cent de
crease, which if continued would
destroy the liquor traffic in 10
years. History has oft recorded
the destruction of great industries
in less time. Certainly the record
is encouraging to the advocates
of temperance, and their friends
the prohibitionists.
There is a sociological reason
for this decrease in the use of in
toxicants. Regardless of what
the faddists or the extremists or
the prohibitionists or the local OPP
tionists or the distillers or the
brewers may claim as the reason
for the change, any student OF
sociology can point out clearly the
reason. 1t may not be clear to
the ignOrant-and it need not be.
Facts are no respectors of persons.
Poverty causes crime and
drunkenness, and crime and
drunkenness cause poverty. The
hen comes from the egg and the
egg comes from the hen. Take
away poverty, and dissipation is
not found AS community pastime.
Destroy the hen. and you will
gather no eggs.

TYPHOID FEVER REDUCED
 IN RURAL COMMUNITIES

Reduction in typhoid fever and im- provement in sanitary conditions have followed the intensive investigations of rural communities carried on by the United States Public Health Ser vice in cooperation with local and State health officers, according to the annual report of the Surgeon General of that Service. During the past hs- cal year 16,3G9 rural homes in eight different states were visited and many of them revisited. In each of these homes information was obtained as to the prevalence of disease and insaui- tary conditions and complete sani- tary survey of the premises conduct ed. This was followed by reinspec tions to determine if remedical meas ures had been instituted. In but a relatively small percentage of the cases did the persons concerned, after having their attention drawn to the danger of a particular unhygienic con dition, fail to inaugmate corrective measures. Stimulus was given to the work by means of public lectures, the formation of active sanitary orgaui- cations, and the enlisting of all pub lie spirited citizens in the campaigns for reform. Public buildings were also inspected and local authorities given expert advice in solving such sanitary problems as the disposal of excreta, the prevention of soil pollu- tion, and the maintenance of pure water supplies.

QUESTION A GRAVE ONE

Two possibilities that are indeed crave. face the sportsmen of Arkan- sas. should the courts hold that the finds of the Arkansas Game Commits sion cannot be expended because of the act creating this commission made no specific appropriation for it's eX- penses. The first of these is that hunting and fishing in Arkansas will be absolutely prohibited, and the other is that there will be no protection for came fish in Arkansas during the spawning season, March 1 to April 15.
 The game and fish act of 1915 pro- vides that none may hunt or fish in Arkansas without first paying the re- quired fee and securing a license. If there is no appropriation the license blanks cannot be secured, and no one can be employed to issue them. In the past Senator Lee Miles has acted as secretary of the Commission without salary.
 When the injunction was applied for to restrain the issuance of war rants drawn on this fund, or their payment by the State Auditor, the wardens were discharged by the Com mission. This would not prevent pro secution for those who hunted in vio- laton to the law, for the township and county authorities would assist in enforcing it, but they would hardly protect the game fish in the closed season.
 The identity of "J. NJ. Jackson" i" who filed suit against the Commission is still a matter of speculation, and Hal L. Norwood, who represents the plaintiff, is as reticent as the others. Members of the Commission are of the opinion that the attack on the bill is being made by non-residents, who have been heavily fined for violating the law; or by politicians who seek to embawass members of the Commis- sion because they are taking an active interest in the gubernatorial cam paign; or by one who has sought fa- vors at the hand of the Commission, but failed.
 The case will come up on final hear- ing in Pulaski Chancery court next week. the Commission being given until that time to prepare its defense.

1914 had shown that in rural con- munities less than one per cent of the homes had sanitary toilets and that more than fifty per cent of the people were using water from polluted sour ces. This condition, according to the Public Health Service, made the rural sanitation question loom large among the matters vitally affecting the wei fare of the nation. Following these studies and as a result of the interest aroused the typhoid fever rate, an excellent indicator of the sanitary sta tus of a community. has in some plac- es frequently been cut to one quarter of its previous figure. In Berkloy County, West Virginia, the cases of typhoid fever were reduced from 249 to 40 in one year. In Orange County North Carolina, the rural sanitation campaign resulted in a reduction of the eases from 59 to r.
 The tangible results of operations in rural sanitation indicate that marked advancement in maintaining hygionic and satisfactory surround ings in country districts is possible by the aplication of the common prin- ciples of preventive medicine. Insan- itary, conditions exist largely because they are not known to be such. Ac- tual demonstrations of their harmful ness, together with definite recom- for their correction, re- main one of the most gratifying and successful methods for instituting re forms and has been, in the experience of the Public Health Service, invari- ably accompanied by definite and mea surable results.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
 CITY OF PRESCOTT.

l am a candidate to succeed myself as Mayor. If I did not feel that I had Tn some measure made good as mayor during the past l could find no justification of my present candidacy. Briefly stated, when I entered the Mayors office the outstanding indebt- edness of the city was over S1O,0OOOO on July 1st, 1912; July 1st, 1915, it was less than $4,0OO.00; with proper management by July 1st, 1916, all outstanding warrants will total less than S1,000.00. Until 1912 the water and light plant was a losing propo- sition; today its net earnings are S5,OOO0O per year. During 1915 more than 5000 feet of mains were laid and during the past three years more than S9,000.00 worth of improvements have been made on the mains and lines while over $2,0O00O worth of machinery has been paid for. During my administration the jail has been paid for, an air compressor has been paid for; an extra thousand feet of fire hose has been purchased; firemen have been placed on a salary and giv- en benefit of insurance, electric bells and concrete crossings supplied by the railroad in compliance with ordinances city laws have been digested, and for the first time in history the city's books audited. For these advance ments and improvements, as well as others 1 cannot mention for want of space, l do not possess sufficient ego to claim all credit, but I do feel that as member of your city council 1 have done my part in their accomplish ment 1 feel that 1 have enforced the criminal laws of the city in satisfac- tory manner, though I realize it is impossible to please every citizen in every respect. The one thing of which l am exceedingly proud is this: l have been able to at all times remain in harmony with your board of alder men, and 1 can truthfully say that no pickering or strife has ever entered a council meeting during my admins tration, and what has been done has been unanimous in every instance. 1 appreciate the fact great many inn provements should be made, but the prime effort of myself and your alder men has been to restore the credit of our city and place her on a cash basis and in our endeavor to accomplish that goal We must necessarily defer some actions we are anxious to take. If re- elected, l can only promise to endeavor to carry forward the reforms and work already started, and l believe l am sufficiently advised of the needs of the city to impartially represent you as Mayor.
