II is like this. to hear John Barley

Without us, society would be unable
to exist.
Settles would become anaemic, dry UP
and blow away.
1--WE pay the freight of government
1--WE save money for the taxpayers.
"Only for the revenues derived from
us, the burden of the taxpayer would
be more than he could stand; the indus
tries would fail, the shops would close
and the stores would be forced out Of
business.

But let's seel
Let's see what Seattle has to say
about the indispensability Of John Bar
leycorn and his little brother, Billy
Lagerbeer.
It was just seven months ago that
Seattle reached the conclusion that this
pair COULD be dispensed with, and
DISPENSED WITH THEM.
And Seattle is still there on the map
right where it was when it kicked the
pair of strong breaths out, only more
securely.
Seattle stood once upon the sands.
Having banished the booze family, il
stands today upon solid rock.
Was business hurt when John and
Billy were banished from Seattle?
Did any of the industries fail?
Did any of the shops close?
Were any of the merchants forced out
Of business?
This is the answer:
BANK CLEARINGS INCREASED.
The everyday business Of the mer-
chant has assumed holiday proportions.
Was Seattle boycotted by outside
towns that sympathized with John and
Billy?
This is the answer to that:
THE BUSINESS OF WHOLESALE
GROCERS AND DRY GOODS DEAL
ERS HAS INCREASED TO A POINT
NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
Did the owners Of property that was
bringing in rent from saloonkeepers suf-
fer when John and Billy were thrown
out bodily?
They did not
The buildings that were occupied by
saloonkeepers are now occupied by GRO
Gerry STORES, MEAT MARKETS,
BAKERIES, SHOE STORES, AND DRY
GOODS STORES.
There are only Is empty building in
96 downtown blocks where saloons once

Photographs Offered in Proof.

Photographs of German camps are
offered to show the prisoners in mid
winter with only tents or dugouts for
shelter. II is charged that during the
first winter in Germany large numbers
of prisoners were obliged to dig them
selves into the ground for shelter or to
construct mud huts. and the Spanish
ambassador is quoted in support of
this accusation. 1t is admitted that
some improvements on these conditions
have been made in certain camps.

SCARCITY OF SAILORS.
Trouble Encountered in Getting
Enough Help to Man Vessels.

The difficulty of obtaining sailors to
man vessels is causing trouble in all
ports on the Atlantic and the scarcity
of help is very decidedly felt on Chesa-
peake bay and it's tributaries. it being
stated that there still are a number of
oyster dredge boats out of service for
want of men to work them.
Recently the steamship Brammel
Point. 4 new vessel built at Baltimore
for the Vacuum Oil Company of New
York, was held at Baltimore for sew
eral DAYS awaiting a crew and men
had finally to be brought from other
ports to make up the number she is
required by law to carry. The Bran
mel Point is to load oil at New York
for Lisbon. Spain. as her maiden cargo
