IN WEST VIRGINIA.

The following is part of signed
statement contributed to the Union Sig
nal by Samuel B. Montgomery. COM
missioner of labor for West Virginia:
Since the state went dry West vir-
ginia has built seventy-two new high
school buildings mt total cost of mp
proximately $2,S00,OOO. the enrolment
in high schools In the state ha in
creased 131 per cent, and there are
now nine colored high schools. Al
most as many churches Of the first
class have been dedicated. and preach
ers' and teachers salaries have been
noticeably increased. A larger num-
Der Of state and national banks have
been organized than In the ten previ-
GUS wet years. One lone bank In
Fayette county has 800 more saving
accounts than 1t had In the last year
before prohibition.
The Industrial centers would vote
more solidly dry now than they did In
1912. when all Industrial counties went
dry except ONE.

FOUR REASONS FOR PRoHIsI.

VION.
H. Is. Griffith. who is the proprietor
of the largest department store In
North Dakota, says:
First-Prohibltion helps the homes
of The people. II brings to many
mothers and children comforts that
they would not have II the sale Of
liquor were permitted to debauch and
pauperize the father and bread win
ner.
Second-Prohibltion creates bet
ter moral atmosphere in which to rear
family. With booze banlshed we
have less vice and crime.
Third-Prohibtion is an aid In the
creating of wealth In any community.
Under prohibition we have more
thrlft-laborers mechanics, business
men and farmers all have more earn
Ing ability and save more money.
Fourth-Prohibition territory So
cured through local option is Of value.
but II is difficult to enforce the law
when the sale of liquor is permitted
in other nearby sections-the wider
the prohibition area the better. State
wide prohibition is much better than
local-wide prohibition, and national
prohibition Is the only final satisfnc-
tory settlement of the liquor question.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

The state highway commissioners OF
Washington, James Allen, sounds a
warning that since prohibition has be-
come effective the number OF cOnvicts
available for road work has decreased
to such an extent that there is no like
llhood of road work by prison labor
during the ensuing two years.
The Salt Lake Tribune says that
the first month Of prohibition in Og-
den brought reduction of nearly 300
per cent Of the amount paid for board
ing prisoners in the city jail and the
superintendent of streets and public
property complains that there are not
enough prisoners available to cut the
weeds on public property.

CONSOLIDATION OF
 GERMAN BREWERIES
 FOR MORE ECONOMY

AMSTERDAM, March 2.--The Ger man government has :. Ie' TT iic- ial decree providing for the 'consoli dation" of the brewing industry. Breweries, selected on the princi pie of highest efficiency. are to take over the production of others that are to be shut down, and are to pay the latter monetary compensation.
 The breweries naturally complain of this measure. calling attention to the fact that more than three bill lion marks of German capital is in- vested in this industry. which thus outranks even the chemical indus try, iron smelting or coal mining. The number of breweries in Ger many is more than 12.ooo, closely connected with which are 330,000 ho- tels or restaurants. which employ SO0,000 persons.
