ISN'T THIS SAD?
The Way Prohibition is Disturbing
Business in Kent

(From Grand Rapids Press, July 16)
The Kent county workfarm is not
a prison farm now. After struggling
along for several weeks after prohi-
bition went into effect in Michigan,
Manager Ralph Bolt is now without
a single prisoner. Rather than let the
crops suffer he has engaged two men
on a monthly salary basis to look af-
ter the work until the farm can be
replenished. For several weeks not
more than four men were confined on
the farm, but Monday the last mans
sentence expired. The shortage of
prisoners is so acute in Kent county
that Sheriff c. A. Berry is contem-
plating asking the supervisors to al
low him to engage janitor for the
county Jail. Heretofore there have
been enough prisoners to act as hall
boys to do the sweeping, washing and
caretaking at the Jail. There are only
a few prisoners in the Jail now and
the sheriff says he will soon be out
of hallboys.

TIME NOW TO HEAD 1T OFF
(From Michigan INVESTOR

1t is shown that the Non-Partisan
League, which has secured strong
grip on the Dakotas, is gaining foot
hold in Michigan, and now is the time
to head the movement off so effectu-
ally that it cannot get throathold
on the farming districts which it has
in the west. In this the bankers of
the state can do effective service. By
getting closer to the farmers and by
showing them that mutual condolences
are benefcial-insasmuc as the far
mer needs the banker and the banker
values the business relations of the
farmer, and needs them-the banker
can be of great service. Recently
the league agents have penetrated
northern Michigan and in the vicinity
of Traverse City active work has been
started, Now is the time when Wig
oroLs means should be inaugurated
to head off this menace to the indus
trial and agricultural interests of
Michigan.
Meanwhile, it is refreshing to note
that hundreds of representative farm
ers are not in sympathy with the
league movement, and these should be
interested in a general campaign to
show up the real menace to their
brother farmers. In this the bankers
can be extremely helpful. 1t is also
reason for congratulation that the
Association of Farmers Clubs of
Michigan is arrayed against the
league. State Senator Charles B.
Scully, of Almont, one of the promi-
nent men in the state legislature, is
president of the Association of Farm
ers Clubs, and it is gratifying that
Senator Scully is using all his ener-
gies at this time to educate the farm
ers of the state in the real detriments
that the league would force upon
Michigan. That the organization is
a menace, and serious one, was en-
phasized at the annual convention of
the Michigan Bankers Association in
Charlevoix. That it's principles have
been endorsed by the l. w. w., which
il is declared has sought to affiliate
with the league, is all sufficient rea-
son why the farmers should shun any
contract with it, This association
stamps the movement as unpatriotic
and from exposures already made it
is clear that it's influence cannot but
be communicating and serious dam
ger to all business interests. All bus
mess interests should therefore unite
in a campaign to stamp out the evil
and prevent it's insidious influences
from gaining a foothold in the state.
Many farmers are susceptible to the
smooth talk of such men as the league
employs as solicitors and it is easy to
win over the man who is not awake
to the danger he is confronted with.
These are the ones to be warned and
impressed with the evils of the organ
ization. And the influence must be
exerted that will counterfeit the allur-
ing arguments of the league solicitors.
In this movement the bankers can be
a powerful force themselves and
vastly greater force when allied with
the business interests they are asso-
ciated with and which form the bull
wark of the states greatness; and
one of these interests is the farming
industry. Michigan Investor has CIV
en- space to this warning in previous
issues and the necessity of immediate
and most vigorous action to stamp out
the evil Of the Partisan League
in this state.
