ONE PERSON OUT OF EVERY
FIFTY DEPENDENT ON AUTO

One effect of the attempt of con-
gress to incorporate in the war reve-
nue. bill a tax upon the gross sales of
automobiles has been that of bring
ing before the public for the first
time something like a real conception
of the industry's Importance.
l doubt whether men in the indus
try itself have actually realized that
practically one person out of every
fifty in the United States depends
upon automobile work of some kind
for livelihood, said an automobile
man. 1t is estimated that factories,
accessory makers, dealers and garage
owners, employ 100000 people. At
the lowest estimate each of these
people has at least one other person
dependent upon him and that means
practically 100000 people of one-
fftieth of the total population.
Another point that is not generally
realized is the broad distribution

Prohibition party congressman, never
cast an electoral vote. And yet it
has seen prohibition spread with mir
aculous power. What prohibition has
accomplished is due mainly to Repub-
Leans, not party Prohibitionists. Now
that it has become popular even the
Democratic party is looking it over
as an attractive issue and the
the party Prohibitionists, who
never were noted for their political
hard-headedness, have been seriously
thinking Of going over, body and
breeches, to the Democrats. Whether
even if the conference had so decided,
it could deliver it's 100000 votes, is
another question. The Prohibition
party as a party has no future and is
beginning to realize the truth.

A conference of Prohibition party
men, called to consider what the party
should do next, particularly whether
it should disband and join Mr.. Bryan
and the Democratic party, decided the
latter question for the time being in
the negative. For one more campaign
the Prohibition party will stay in the
ring, meantime watching the Bryan
project Of bringing the Democratic
party entire into the prohibition wa
gon. II would violate all the histor-
zeal "unitiesp if the Prohibition party,
after all, should join the Democrats.
This party numbers about a quarter
million in the United States enough
to change close election. 1t could,
for instance, easily have placed
Hughes instead of Wilson in the White
House. 1t never has grown, to speak
of, being as strong today as 20 years
ago, and no more. IL has never ac-
complished anything, never has car
ried a state, never elected but one
