FIGHT MODERATE DRINKING.

From an economic viewpoint the
drunkard is nonexistent. What big
business" Is fighting today is mod
crate drinking'-the ounce-and-a-half-
a-day kind of thing. With the excep-
ton of those connected with the trade
in alcoholic drinks-and their hangers
on-the entire world of business and
industry is lined up against alcohol,
and the battle (since drunkenness is
se%lf-confessed defeat) is being waged
against moderate drinking. 1t is with
the mar who can drink and be sober,
thank heaven!" that industry is pick.
ing a quarrel. The psychologist has
shown that he is morally defective
poisoned atop; the medico-actuarial
man has shown that he is physically
depleted, warped, defective and throws
away from ten to thirteen years of
his imperfect life; and "big business"
has learned that economically he is
SO bad an investment that only in
rare cases is it worth while to bother
with tinkering and repairing him.

In CRIME.

DECREASE in CHlME.
Five months under prohibition law
have now elapsed and the results are
beginning to be very apparent" says
the deputy sheriff of Jefferson coun-
ty, Alabama. THE decrease in crime
in Jefferson county is clearly indicat-
ed by the Jail records, which show a
total number of state prisoners now
in Jail of 160, against 1886 December
1, 1914, one year ago today, and this
in the face of the fact that no straw
bonds are being taken, and that ev-
cry care is taken to ascertain the abb
solute suficiency Of every bond ap-
proved"
The state pays thirty cents a day
for feeding each prisoner in the JEFF
ferson county Jail. therefore this de-
crease of 176 inmates means a saving
of $3.50 per day, of 1854 per month,
and of 1 zoos per year.

PROHIBITION AND PROSPERITY.

State Senator Peterson of Mime
sofa, speaking of the men thrown out
of employment in Moorhead by the
closing of it's saloons, says:
1.-THE election put out of the liquor
trade probably three hundred men, in
Guiding the employers. Those who
were welded to the business of course
had to seek employment elsewhere,
but many Of them elected to stay and
go into other lines of work. And for
such there has been abundance of
work at a good wage. There has been
no man in Moorhead able and willing
to work who could not get employ
ment.

savings accounts have increased in

WAR LESSON.

The signal service the present
European conflict has rendered
against alcohol will be named in flu
ture years as a major compensation
for it's awful carnage. The war has
not taught us that alcohol is a curse,
and that traffic in it is a treason.
This knowledge the world already pos
sessed, although it had only begun TO
take action. The war has taught us
how to deal with alcohol, how to solve
the alcohol problem, how to arrive at
the final prohibition that Is our goal

Good Reading for Sunday

A Prayer
God, tho this life is but a wrath
Altho we know not what we use.
Attic W e grope with little faith.
Give me the heart to Highland
lose.
Ever in conflict let ne be:
Make me more daring than devout:
From sleek eontentment keen me
free,
And fill me with a b%uoyant doubt.
Open my eyes to visions girt
With beauty, and with wonder lit;
But let me always see the dirt
And all that spawn and die in If
open my ears to music; let
Me thrill with springs first flutes
and drums;
hut never let me dare forget
The bitter ballads of the slums
From compromise and things half
done
Keep me, tho all the world deride.
And when at last the fight is won,
God, keep me still unsatisfied.

Out Where the West Begins

- IN
Out where the handclasp's a little
stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little
longer.
That's where the West begins.
Out where the sun is a little brighter.
Where the that fall are a trifIe
whittier,
Where the bonds of home are a wee
bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trifle bluer,
Out where friendships a little truer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where a fresher breeze is blow
ing,
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing,
Where there's more OF reaping and
less of sowing.
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the max
ing,
Where fewer hearts in despair are
aching,
That's where the West begins.
Where there's more of singing and
less of signing,
Where there's of giving and
less of buying,
And a mar makes friends without
half trying,
That's where the West begins.
