PROHIBITION A BENEFIT TO THE
WAGE-EARNER.

Viewed from whatever angle. there
is no computing the value of prohin-
ton to the industrial class. Counted
by dollars and cents, the elimination
of liquor from this country would mean
millions of dollars diverted into a
channel that would make and does
make for higher order of things.
Dollars and cents do not count when
the question of prohibition is the sub
ject matter. 1t is not always a ques-
ton of what prohibition will do; the
other side is: What will 1t prevent?
There is no man in or out of the Ia
Dor movement. If he be honest with
himself and others, but must recognize
the benefits from every viewpoint that
have come to the workers in those
states that have adopted prohibition.

Labor Congress.

MobIIIzIna Harvest labor.

Steps for the systematic mobiliza-
ton Of farm labor in Kansas were TAX
en- at meeting held in Kansas City,
May IA. This Is the first of series of
meetings which are to be arranged by
the department OF agriculture in q
number of cities to unite the efforts of
all agencies working to secure labor to
help farmers in harvesting their crops.
At the Kansas City meeting a commit
tee was appointed to direct the work
of the various agencies in the state
and to see that registrations are held
in the cities where city employees
who will do farm work during their va
cations can register. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 helpers will be necessary
to harvest the crops in Kansas this
year, and the commercial organiza-
lions in Kansas City have undertaken
to supply 10000 of this number.

An army of 1851 extension workers

home-demonstration work, serving in
1875 counties; and 912 are In boys
and girls club work. In the Is South
ern states 1924 workers are busy car
rying out the plans of the food cam
paign, and in the 33 Northern and
Western states 3,027 are employed.
On July l of last year 1,640 were en-
ployed in the Southern states, and 6O6

THE DRINK TRAFFIC AND THE
TAXPAYER

Saloon revenue aids in reducing
taxes y This is one of the most shall
low arguments advanced by the liquor
lite in support of the drink business.
No, thoughtful or observant person will
attempt to deny that under prohibition
crime decreases, pauperism grows less,
and that, given time for the natural re-
adjustment which must follow the gen.
eral elimination of the saloon and it's
influences, the need for reform schools,
jails, asylums, almshouses, hospitals,
etc., will in the aggregate mean saw
Ing of many millions of dollars to the
taxpayers. Remember, too, that as
drunkenness is eliminated more people
will become self-supporting and there
will be less need for charity. Abolish
the saloon and much of the money now
expended in aiding those who become
dependent through drink, and the mon
ey now paid for taxes caused by the
results of drink, will be used In Great
ing more taxable property and the bur-
den will be more widely and evenly dis
tributed.

THE CALL OF THE HOUR.


l learned as a lad that you cannot
run saw mill without feeding 1t logs,
grist mill without feeding 1t grain,
rock crusher without feeding 1t
rocks. No more can we continue the
rum factory without grinding through
1t sons and daughters. l have none to
sparel Nor will be poltroon and by
my vote or silence say, ut shall feed
on yoursr'
The call of the hour Is the challenge
OF highest patriotism. America must
not fail; 1t is written In the plan of
God for the ages that America shall
not fail!
The liquor traffic, because it blocks
the road that leads to the realization
OF our national destiny, is as doomed
today as Judas Iscariot was when he
betrayed the Christ of God. Because
no human welfare program can be
completed, because humanity's physi-
cal, moral and spiritual health cannot
be rightly conserved while breweries,
distilleries, wineries and rum shops
continue to transact business, we
pledge our constructive and united eff
forts, our sacred honor, and our lives,
II need be, to accomplish a saloonless
nation by 1920 and saloonless world

On my second trip to the trenches

full news that at four in the morning
we were to go over the top and take

best of my memory recall them as
follows "At eleven wiring party will

TESTIMONY OF CHARITY WORK

The charitable organizations are
quick to realize the blessings Of pro-
hibition, for prohibition not only means
less poverty, but 1t means that money
which formerly went to care for the
family of the drinking man is made
available for other uses. The testi-
mony of the Des Moines Associated
Charities is an Illustration of this
point: Three years ago 20 per cent
of all the families and individuals aid
ed were in condition of poverty
through the drunkenness of the father
or supporting member of the house.
hold. Last year that figure had dwin-
died to 10 per cent. This means that
with open saloons Des Moines' largest
charitable body was spending annual
ly more than one-fourth of it's budget
to take care of the product of the sa-
loon, while within year and half
after the closing of the bars of the city
the association was paying out but one
tenth of its income for the same pur-
pose"

KENTUCKY GOING DRY.

No doubt the popular writer who
had this vision of ''impossibilities' will
soon see the necessity of revising 1t.

an overwhelming vote referred the
question of statewide prohibition to
the people, and was the third state
(the first wet one) to ratify the fed
