1T is sometimes complained that
money should not be given for tobacco
while money is still needed-f for food.
But the chances are that those who
give for tobacco funds will also give
for food funds" argues the Cedar Rap

are apt to belong to the fellows who
are generous ones all around. They are

THE voters of this state ought to

matters long enough to consider the
prohibitory election that is to be held
Monday, Oct. Is. 1t Is fortunate that
the election is to be on Monday says
the Des Moines Capital. This will
enable the many thousands of travel
ing men who will have been at home
over Sunday to remain few hours
longer for the purpose Of casting their
ballot to put prohibition into the con-
stitution of the state of Iowa. It Is
a mistake to suppose that the oppon-
ents of prohibition are doing nothing.
No election was ever held which didn't
involve activity upon the part OF the
booze people. They work while others
sleep. The state of Iowa will have a
chance on Oct Is to prohibit the sale
of intoxicating liquor in this state for
ever. There should be no mistake and
action should be by tremendous ma-
| jority.''

DRINK AND MACHINERY.

Things have changed since the day
when man could drink and injure
no one but himself and few others,
says the Kansas City Star In an edi-
torial on "Booze and Machinery"
A drunken man might drive horse
through street crowded with other
horses and not damage himself or any
one else; but drunken man In a
motor car in street crowded with
other hurrylng motor cars becomes q
verltable death angel. A drunken man
might drive stage coach filed with
passengers and all arrive safely. But
q drunken man at the engine throttle,
or asleep in the signal tower, is a
different thing. A drunken blacksmith
in the old days would simply spoil a
few horseshoes, and maybe give his
wife black eye. But now a drunken
factory hand can ruin thousands Of
dollars worth Of machinery and en-
danger lives of fellow workmen.

BUSINESS AND HEALTH.


"Why is our country going dry so
fast?" asks the Philadelphia Ledger,
and answers: Business and health |
That combination beats moral suaslon
and the appeals Of Ten Nights In q
Barroom.'
Life insurance companies for some
years past have paid very close atten-
tlon to liquor as an Insurance hazard.
They have compiled figures, using
hundreds Of thousands Of persons as
basis for computations. These prove
that a man who does not drink will
on the average live much longer than
the man who drinks even moderately.
taking 100000 pollcyholders as
test, insurance companies discovered
that men who only occasionally got
tight suffered death rate just one
half greater than strictly temperance
men. Among men who drink only two
glasses Of beer or one glass of whisky
In day the mortality was almost a
fifth greater. Other men who drink
more than that but still not enough to
bar them from insurance companies,
showed an appalling mortality Of al
most double that among men who were
never introduced to John Barleycorn

PROHIBITION STANDS TEST.

The year 1916 has witnessed tri-
umph perhaps even greater than the
mere gaining of territory, thorough
and satisfactory testing Of the prohibi-
tion policy. During the past 52 weeks
the new prohibition states have so con-
vincingly demonstrated the economic,
social and moral benefits of the law
that they are quite sufficient refutation
of the false charges made by the liquor
publicity bureaus that prohibition does
not prohibit; that 1t is failure; that
1t leads to economic disaster, and other
statements Of like tenor. AS to the sat
isfaction of the residents of these
states with the new regime, the mag
nificent vote in Oregon, Washington,
Colorado, Arizona and Arkansas on No
vember against the measures initlat-
ed by the liquor interests to weaken
or nullify the new laws, furnishes
abundant testimony.

INSANITY AND DRY STATES.

The publicity bureau Of the liquor
interests is trying to make the public
believe that prohibition Kansas has
more insane in proportion to the pop
ulatlon than have license states. He
selects for selection three wet states
which are more than so per cent dry,
rather than three which are mostly
wet, as New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. But that is q way the
llquorltes have.
The insane rate In Kansas is 1922
per 100000; In New York it is 1922
per 100000; in New Jersey, 1881 per
100000; in Pennsylvania, 229.1 per
100000.
When 1t comes to the percentage Of
what is known as alcoholic insanity
the only fair basis for test-the rate
in Kansas is remarkably low. That
state has only II per cent Of alcoholic
insane.

Department. The next moment tele-

every part OF the world where there
