killing each other, with rocks in the

backward on the good deeds Of their

Dear Colonel Townsend
The Chronicle issued August 4th is be-
fore me- and l note with great interest
and deep satisfaction your Editorial Pro-
clamatiOn that with the present month
of August the Milford Chronicle will dis
continue printing any and all liquor ad-
vertising in it's columns" Congratula-
tions You are joining the ranks OF that
splendid host of newspapers which nave
taken the same course you are 10 pur-
sue. What n change has come 10 the
newspaper fraternity during the past ten
About eighteen months ago the Tenn
perance Society Of the Methodist Epis-c
copal Church made an Investigation OF
the attitude Of every newspaper in the
United States toward the Temperance
movement; over 1000 letters being sent
out. The replies received to these let-
ters showed that $40 did not permit Ii
uuor advertising I'm their columns and
many others have since been added; that
$50 announced that they advocate Ma

397 favored local prohibition. And now
that these numbers have been so great

when there shall not be found in this
great country an institution that either
manufactures or sells that which is
worse than death.
the failure Of the prohibition law in
Kansas las been the stock argument OF
the liquor folks for a long time, but
Kansas has kept right on pfuspeIlnB+ we
heard that argument here in Washing
ton last year, AMI not a few folks be-
lieved even though its fallaey and un-
truthfulness were exposed by figures
facts and folks. However, Washington
went dry, and since that time, in four
lnoaths, the following are some of the
results in Spokane:
SpoAane has cleared $50 100000 in bank
clearings; the number Of building per-
mits has increased 60 per cent, and the
number of arrests and charity work has
decreased in the same ratio. AS Pastor
of the largest Protestant congregation in
this city, l may be permitted to say
the amount of sweet charity done by this
church before the prohibition went into |
effect was very large in the interest OF |
families made dependent by the bread |
winner spending his money for booze. |
Since January 1st, this preacher has not /
been called upon to feed or to clOthe |
even one family that had become an OBJ /
iect of charity because the breadwin |
ner had spent his money for booze. Fur /
ther, to provide for this necessity our /
Sunday School brings in large donations |
at Christmas and stores them in the /
church pantry for distribution as requir-
ed Last Christmas the usual supply /
was brought in but January saw very
little distributed; February saw less;
March saw none, and the report was
brought to me that the mice were de-
stroying our provisions, and there were
no calls. / advised that a distribution
be made among worthy families and 1t
was done.
Again. The official report of the city
gives the following interesting report
from our police records: January first

lies. Every Jail in the State has less oc-
cupants, there are fewer children sent to
the State Training School, there are less
loafers around our city Prohibition has
not failed in Washington because the Of
ficials have been busy enforcing the law.
Hundreds Of the rough and undesirable
have gone to Montana and to California
since Washington, Oregon and Idaho
passed the prohibition law.
Ten days ago / was called to California
to speak at the funeral OF young friend
and took along with me three boys. Our
travels were pleasant and undisturbed
across Washington and Oregon, but just
as soon as our train had crossed the Cal
ifornia line and stopped at Hornbrook.
a number Of passengers hurried to the
nearby saloon and brought back with
them amount of booze ranging from one
bottle Of beer to six bottles and two pints
Of whiskey each. The result was that
and others were 'hilariOusy happy"
And these men were riding in the sleep
err although they rode in the smoking
compartment into which these three boys
We're obliged to go. 1 took an occasion
TO ask the conductor how he liked that
sort Of procedure, and he replied, Il
shall be glad when California is dry,
The necessary value of the newspaper
to the ushering in Of the prohibition era
is well recognized by every intelligent
citizen, and since the day that the Phila-
dephia North American excluded from
its columns liquor ads, $40 others have
joined with it i'm producing a circula-
tion Of almost 10000 600 that refuse to be-
come a party to keeping this nation
drunk when it ought to be sober. Thus
goes the good work on toward the final
Of another curse from our
Country. the liquor traffic, just as slav-
cry, the lottery business and the race
track iniquity that have gone down to
defeat and death And to the states al
ready dry there shall continue to be add
ed other states until finally the congress |
Of these United States shall make IL pos |
sible for us to have a constitutional |
to the end that the entire |
nation shall be delivered from its boast |
full and blighting curse.
1 cannot close this note without eX- /
pressing the fond hope that Delaware |
shall ere long finish the good work so /
well begun a few years ago when Kent /
and Sussex counties went dry. The /
sober and Christian manhood Of New /
Castle ought to turn the contents OF ev-
FRY saloon into the Delaware River ac-
,ording to legal procedure at the ear
lest possible date, and here's hoping /
hat party shall win in Delaware this
all which will bring this desired end to
ny native state.
