Arizona republican., 1917-11-29

We admit the allegation of increase in homi- eides but not in consequence of prohibition We are sure, judging from the causes of homicides in the past that the increase would have been greater if the state had remained wet Since the adoption of the anti-capital punishment measure year ago. there have been in this county alone thirteen homicides and we do not believe of them can be traced to liquor. But the Tribunes advertisement, of course does not that liquor is responsible for the greater number of murders. It could only mean if there is any relation between homicdes and prohibi- tion that the murderers inflamed by sobriety
 What Arizona thinks of prohibition is best shown in the circumstance years after the adoption of the first prohibition amendment, a second and rigid adopted by a greatly increased vote. If the question were presented today the jority would be still greater.

The following is an argument against prohibition which have encountered in a wet advertisement in the Tribune of San Diego:
 In Arizona the most labor strikes the has ever known coco men in mining district eavoring to better working conditions; from town alone 1900 union miners herded into cattle and deported to another state; also the first Iynching in 20 years took place; all kinds of crime increased for murder in 1916 than in any other year."
 The evil consequences of prohibition in Iowa, Seattle and Portland are also detailed but interested only in the libel against Arizona. No outside an insane asylum any relation be- tween industrial unrest and prohibition in Arizona. -qt1lsp 6IIBnIvdul 6lsId u9sQ sBu ls9Iun IBrsupuI uted among the wet and dry areas.
 Certainly prohibition was not a ~ause of dssatis- faction. Organized labor as a body, for prohi- bition in both campaigns that subject Prohibition was in force when the Clifton strike of years ago took place Except the saloons. everything there. set for a season of riot and boodshed. That there neither attributed by dsinterested persons the fact that Arizona efy. The Mexican miners concerning whom the greatest apprehension felt could get liquor.
 The more recent strikes were generally orderly. Even the Bisbee deportation whatever may think about it as episode remarkably orderly. Such a thing could not have taken place in a munity without becoming a horror
 As to the ynching to which reference is made, a matter of record that in the large crowd which took part in it, there bottle of whisky. We had bootleggers then, and many of the who present at the lynching hot teetotaers. But in the excitement incident to the start out into the desert they had not thought of whisky and no took any In the relaxation that followed of the lynchers felt the need of drink when the astounding discovery made that there none at hand.
 It is not a fact that all kinds of crime have in- creased There has been dimnution of every kind of crime, ordinarily traceable to whisky, such petty larceny small forgeres and check kting. The larger volume of business of criminal courts consists of
