THE COMING FAMINE.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1881

Dark days, we are assured by the
gentlemen who hang around the liv-
cry stable and exchange condolences
at Hinky Drinks bar, are upon US.
The country is to go bone dry on
June 80, 1919, in accordance with the
provisions of law.
New York, we are dismally warned,
will lose $S.OO0,0OO year in liquor
licenses, bartenders and bouncers will
be out of jobs and their children will
be turned into the streets crying for
bread and sealskin coats.
Still there are compensations. There
usually are in every calamity. There
were even in war.
For instance, savings accounts will
fatten.
Children who now have to leave
school to earn money to keep their
parents picked will be able to re-
sumo their studies.
The great business of reconstruct
ton after the war is before us, and
this will be helped by a little less
of the business of destruction.
Business concerns are clamoring
for room, and when the 1000 corner

make space for more stores to sell
groceries and furniture.
This will help real estate. as the
presence of a saloon always depresses
rent.
AS our schools are overcrowded it
has been suggested that some of
these saloons be used as schoolrooms.
There is a universal cry for labor.
Immigra ton has practically stopped,
and several million men are In the
Army, so there will be no trouble
for the legion of brewers, walters.
bartenders,- beer-truck drivers and
other persons now employed in in
iecting alcohol into the human race
to find something to do.
We need the wood now used In
bars, whisky barrels and beer kegs
to make baby carriages, collins and
base ball bats:
The $4,000, 900 lost in license money
will be easily made up by the amount
saved in the prosecution of cases
caused by drink.
Questionable dance halls and saloon
back rooms will cease to take their
toll of womanhood.
There will be more grain with
which to make cakes and pies for
little Johnny when there is less used
to keep little Johnny'S father steWed.
Glassware. crockery and the like
now used in saloons will easily be
absorbed by hotels, restaurants and
homes.
Besides all this there will be a
marked improvement in the moral
tone of the community. if you will
pardon my mentioning it.
