PROHIBITION AND HIC

CENSE.-The prohibitionists tell US
that liquor is injurious to the human
system, even if taken in a moderate
way; they tell us that a saloon is a
breeding place for all kinds of sick
ness; they say put the saloon out of
business and you will improve the
health of the people"
Now the functions of a drug store
are namely to supply community
with drugs and medicines. Who is it
that uses drugs and medicines? The
sick, of course. Then it should be
reasonable to assume that when you
do away with the saloon you have a
healthier community. If that is true,
then you would have fewer drug
stores. The plain truth is that when
you vote out the saloon you have a
big increase in drug stores. 1 work
ed in town in Missouri seven years
ago. It is the county seat of a dry
county. It required six drug stores
to supply 1 300 people with drugs and
medicine? And it required that
many medicine wagons to go through
the county to keep the farmers well
What they were really doing was
selling rotten booze in the drug
stores and the wagons were supply
ing the farmers with various kinds
Of patent dope containing a large

percentage of alcohol. No, prOhibi-
ton does not stop the sale of liquor
and improve the health of the peo-
pie of a community, it only takes it
away from where everyone knows it
is sold and where you can get pure
drink to where only certain ones
know it is for sale and where you get
poison that sets you crazy.
The same holds good with high IL
cense. It will not reduce crime.
There are more crimes committed in
Chicago now than when the license
fee was half of what it is now. Chi
cago has had a record for the last ten
years of more than nine murders out
of every 10000 people, while in Mil
waukee, where the saloons are open
day and night all the time, and the
license fee only $500, the average
murders committed we're little over
two out of every 100000. If Mayor
Thompson really wants to reduce
crime it would be better to advocate
a reduction of the license fee instead
of an increase.
Let the oficehOlders cut out graft
and they will have money enough to
run the city without increasing the
license fee. Watch out, Mr.. Citizen!
This license and prohibition question
is only chloroform to put you to sleep
while they rob you of something
much more valuable. There is some
thing being pulled off that they don't
want the average worker to know.

IN all the recent stories OF the AIc-

THOUGHTS
on BUSINESS
For the Wage-worker, the Sal
aired Man, and the Proprietor.
CONSIDER THE NEED.

~HE logical starting point OF sue
cessful manufacture and mer-
- chandislng is TO discern need
and then devise 4 way to fill it. The
reverse Of this is merely to make
something you happen TO think Of and
then try TO sell it. The merchant who
carries goods that nobody wants. and
fails to supply the goods that are in
demand, viii soon find that he must
change his methods or fail.
It is said that the United States i'm
ports from South America nearly twice
the volume OF merchandise that st ex-
ports 10 that country. The chief eI-
PLANTATION Is that they sell Us what
we want. and We try 10 sell them Whst
they don't want.
Our manufacturers do not study the
needs of that country. but offer Tor
sale the goods that are made Tor the
home market
While we are slowly learning this
fact the manufacturers of other ccun-
tries are reaping a rich harvest be
cause they make for export the very
things that will fit into South Ameri-
can needs
No merchant or manufacturer can al
ford TO overlook this fundamental
point. 4 sympathetic appreciation OF
the needs Of others, and a desire 70
fill those needs in a way that Will
serve the best interests Of humanity
this IS the true basis Tor all WnO-e-
