WHY NOT PROHIBIT wATER2

A letter clipped from one Of the
New York morning papers has been
sent us for publication. The writer
urges that water should be prohibited
as it causes the deaths of thousands
of people by engendering typhoid and
other diseases. This reasoning is typ
ical of much that emanateS from the
liquor traffic. Water does not cause
disease. 1t has never poisoned any
man. 1t is only when some poison
like typhoid pollutes the water that
there is danger. The remedy is to
prohibit or do away with the poison,
not the water. And this, says Tenn
perance, is precisely what modern san
itary science is trying to do. We no
longer confine our efforts to the saw
ing of the victims of typhoid, we seek
to prohibit or destroy the cause. The
efforts of temperance people to do
away with alcohol as u beverage is
perfectly logical because alcohol is Il
poisonous drug. If alcohol were as
harmless as water only lunatics would
advocate its prohibition.

BEER MUST GO.

In not one of the &c dry states, nor
In the District of Columbia, Alaska or
Porto Rico, does the prohibition law
exempt beer. Beer is not exempt In
the army and navy prohibition regula-
lions, nor in any territory under fed
eral prohibition. In Oregon, Washing
ton, Colorado and Arizona the brewers,
with millions of dollars behind them,
tried to force beer amendment upon
the people, and in every case were
overwhelmingly defeated. These facts
and the growing anti-beer sentiment
throughout the country should con-
vince the brewers and t cir hackers
that any attempt to put beer and
light wine exemption clause in the res.
olution now before congress for pro-
hibition amendment TO the federal Con-
stitution is doomed to failure. They
would better save their money for the
transforming Of their breweries into
food-produeing factories.

COAL DEALERS
MUST REPORT
FIGURES ON COST OF DOING BUS.
F.*''' MESS DEMANDED.
PRICE OF COAL At MINE $3.50
Operators Neglect To Submit Data
and Des Moines Commissioners
Fix Price and Order Returns
Made On Friday.

Des Moines, Nov. 27-The local coal
commission in a meeting at the city
hall yesterday afternoon unanimously
voted to sustain their former decision
Of setting the price for coal retailed
al the mouth of wagon mines in Des
Moines at $4.25 a ton.
Failure of local operators to file
with the board certain information
relative to the cost of doing business
asked for in compliance With the re-
quest for reconsideration by Charles
Webster, state fuel administrator,
caused the commission to adjourn to
executive session ten minutes after
the meeting convened and to return
their decision fifteen minutes later.
When informed OF the action Of the
commission, the coal operators intim-
atcd they would appeal the decision to
FL A. Garfield, national administrators
if necessary, and one states he would
close down his mine before selling at
$4.25 ton.
Take Up Retail Price.
Immediately following the decision
to sustain the price of $4.25 a ton for
wagon mine coal. the commission took
up with the coal men the question OF
n just price to be charged by the re-
tail merchants of the city. .' S.,
The coal men had no additional
statistics to present, declaring through
their attorney, Harley Stipp. they
we're not aware the question of retail
prices was scheduled for hearing.
Mayor MacVicar, chairman of the
local commission, then asked that all
merchants be required to file reports
OF the cost of running their business
stead of the ten-month cost sheets
now in the hands of the commission.
This caused a heated argument, J.
II. Duro of the Blount-Eyans company
declaring the taking of the cost of a
year past was no criterion by which
TO judge present cost of conducting g
retail business.
To File Statements Friday.
After a lengthy discussion the re-
tailers were asked by the commission
to have filed with the chairman not
later than Friday morning a complete
statement of their business from Dec
Il, 1916, to Dec. l. 1917. The state
monts, according to the order of the
commission, shall also show profits
made. This the coal men objected to
but the commission ruled the informa
ton was necessary.
At the close of the meeting Duro
asked that all statements filed be kept
out Of the press, as the newspapers
were continually misQuoting and mis-
representing the coal men.
