PROHIBITION ITS BENEFITS


Executive Department, State OF
Iowa, Des Moines, May 81, 1916.
Mr. Franklin w. Collins,
Billings. Montana.
Dear SIR
l received several days ago your
letter with reference to conditions in
this state, in connection with the Ii
quor business.
/ have been out of the city prac
tically all of last week, hence the de-
lay in answering your letter.
/ suppose that it is true that the
larger cities lost some revenue on
account of the closing Of the saloons,
but no such bankrupt conditions exist
at all as are referred to in your let
ter. Generally as to the effect Of
prohibition in Iowa, may say to you
that Mayor Hanna, who recently
closed term of six years as mayor
of the city of Des Moines says:
THAT this is fact that arrests for
intoxication and for assault and bat
terry and for disturbing the public
quiet, and for petty larcenies have
been reduced in number from forty
to fort-five per cent each within
that time; that forty per cent fewer
persons have been sent to the state
hospital for inebriates and that the
commitments to the state hospitals
for the insane have decreased very
materially within that time; that de-
mands on the poor fund have been
greatly reduced. That practically all
the merchants In the city report that
collections on sales have been very
much improved"
He also advises me that 1t is fact
that shipments of intoxicants into the
city, have been reduced so that there
are not more than one-eighth to one
tenth. as many as there were year
ago. so that 1t may be said that the
clipping does not state the facts that
really exist at all.
Very truly yours.
G.. w. CLARK,
Governor.

MUST DANISH THE SALOONS
Roman Catholic Paper Comes Out
Strong for Prohibition.


The Monitor. the Official Roman
Catholic newspaper for New Jersey,
contains In a recent number a power
'ul editorial entitled, "The Handwrit-
ng on the WALL" beginning with
The movement against intoxicating
liquors Is worldwide" and ending. in
'ull-faced type. with the declaration,
THE SALOON MUST CO."
Following strong presentation of
he anti-alcohol war in Russi, France
and England, the editor has this to
say about the United States and New
Jersey:
Here In the United States q great
wave of Prohibition is sweeping the
country. State after state is joining
The Prohibition column until 1t begins
TO look as though the whole country
would register its will against the IL
censing Of the sale of intoxicating
drinks
I'VE note also a distinct change in
the appreciation of Prohibition as a
moral movement amongst American
Catholics. Instead of, as formerly, re-
jecting absolutely the principle of Pro-
hibition, there is feeling that there
are circumstances which justify even
Prohibition. Such a contingency Is
the salvation of the manhood or wo-
manhood of country The common
necessity will override individual
rights and make what ordinarily is
fanaticism, legitimate demand.
Moreover, among Catholics, moder-
ate in their views on drinking, thore
are many who, noting the abuses OF
the liquor traffic and the sin and mis-
cry which it brings into the world.
are willing to forego whatever rights
they may have as individuals and see
the entire traffic abolished once and
for ALL They feel that the evils OF
intemperance outmeasure their own
private rights and selfish pleasures.
1.-The father who beholds his boy
drifting into the degradations of the
drunkard's life VIII be only too happy
to weigh his personal sacrifice
against the destruction, body and soul,
of the son whom he loves. Thus in a
way and sense drunkenness becomes
it's own antidote.
"If the Spartan learned the lesson
and value of abstemiousness from the
sight of the drunken slave, the Chris
ton learns it not from the slave he
despises, but from the boy he idolizes,
The family in which the demon rum
claims victim is sure to have mem
bers who hate drink with all their
heart and with a personal conscious
ness of its deplorable effects.
"Now this army of enemies is con-
stantly growing around the liquor
traffic, especially under the stimulus
of modern conditions. The industrial
age in which we are living will not
tolerate the drunkard. If he loses the
affection of his family and the re-
spect of the community, he also for
feits the good will of his employer
and his name Is soon written among
the industrial outcasts. He cannot
earn a living and life becomes I'M
bearable."
