of those reinforced in this cemetery

boards. in spite of the efforts of the
association to ascertain their identity
In 1887 the association concluded to
place the remains of all the soldiers
inferred In the cemetery lot in one
common grave, under circular
mound. and erect thereon brown
stone monument to their memory. To
aid the association in this object, an
appropriation of 81 900 through the
efforts of the late Honorable f. f.
Meredith, delegate from Prince Will
nam County, was made by the State
Legislature, With this appropriation,
together with funds already acCumu-
lated through different sources, the
association succeeded in the erection
of a brown stone monument, seventy
four sides. eight feet from it's base.

appropriate inscriptions were made

by l.. A. IarlSin. Jr., and r. w. Mer-

that purpose. and at the suggestion
OF the association the inscription was
submitted to Governor Fitzhugh Lee

endorsement

association placed upon this monu

In few years the statisticians
ought to have some curves showing
what NO booze really means to our
big cities. Under decent and good
government the results are startlingly
similar. For example, here are Seat
tie and Birmingham In opposite cor
ners Of the United States, different in
almost every detail Of racial makeup.

half as many arrests. fewer murders
and suicides, but more bank clearings,
less fire and more building, increased
trade and emptied jails-such are
few of the items. The drug problem
Is easier because whisky hasn't done
any subsoil plowing for 1t. These
facts, and more like .'em, are noted
by such papers as the Manufacturers
Record and by keen business men who
wonder now why on earth they ever
thought prohibition would hurt busi-
ness. (Probably they had read it in
the liquor adsD The sameness is
tiresome except to those who like to
note social progress, and to the un-
fortunate women and kids who some
times wonder drearily how long it will
be before their homes, too, are in out

WHICH SHALL WE BELIEVER

The liquor interests continue to send
broadcast false statements concerning
conditions in dry states. This is one
Of them:
"In Colorado 5000 were rendered
jobless by prohibition; they glutted
the labor market; industrial condi-
tions became chaotic; wages were re-
duced; thousands were thrown on pub
lie charity"
The Colorado state labor commits
sioner, Mr.. Alex Swanson, thus re-
plies:
Prohibition did not make 5000 job
less. When the 1000 Colorado sa-
looms closed some 10000 persons were
affected. This number included bar
tenders, porters, walters, brewery
workers, etc. They were quickly as
simulated in other lines. There was no
Cutting of the labor market. Our
great trouble has been to get men
enough for the Jobs. Wages have not
been going up. Thousands were not
thrown upon public charity. Perhaps
few saloon hangers-on were, who
would not work anyway. You will al
ways find such in any town. There
are more demands for men to fill the
Jobs since prohibition than there are
men to fill the jobs"
Cheyenne record., 1917-05-31
WHY CHANGERS ARE DRY.

"The answer Is easy to give" says
Mr.. L. J. Tabor, master of the Ohio
State Grange, explaining why the
farmers are active in the fight for
statewide and nationwide prohibi-
ton. "The grange is constructive
forward-looking organization. The
first plank in the grange platform is
not more money for the farmer, but
better men and women on the farms
and in America. This high purpose
leaves but one course of action that
the grange could possibly take in
moral issue. 1t must be on the right
side of the question.
'"The grange, state and national, is
for absolute prohibition, not for IA
natical or sentimental reasons, but be-
cause common sense and the cold
facts in the case conclusively demon
strate that while the saloon is the
greatest enemy of the church and the
home, 1t is also great enemy of ru-
raj progress, Of national development
and the best things in life."

How Careless.

"Say young feller," said Broncho
Bob, "have you got gun on you?"
"No, sir!" replied the man with the
brand-new cowboy uniform. was told
that it was better to be unarmed, so
as to avoid any impression that l was
seeking a quarrel"
"Well, that's a big disappointment.
I needed brand-new gun an thought
you'd be bringing along at least pair
Of 'em. Don't you let anything like
this occur again."

the area of the United States and more
than 90 per cent Of the population are
