those states are really for Proh-
bition. Ii the observers had ever
spent much time west Of Scran-
ton or south OF the Potomac they
would have obtained a new point
OF view. Fer generation the
middle west, far west and south
have been coming TO an even
fuller and iirner strength aud
faith in Prohibition. In the great
cities wet sentiment has remained
strong. but even there has been
shown 4 surprising support OF
Prohibition. :. 1t is ridiculous to

Telegraph Credits Big Business
The New York Morning Telegraph
OF January II is incorrect i'll its con-
clusion, although less vindictive than
some OF the other papers OF the city.
The Telegraph says:
The big business has brought
about the drouth. The captains OF
industry, railroad chiefs. sleel
men, heads of great corporations,
assert that men who never drink
work better because of their tenn
perancc. The employers OF mill
lions waged this Prohibition CAM
paign as matter of business.
They financed the dry move
ment, placing it generally in the
hands of level-headed business
men like themselves. Legislatures
were urged to pass temperance
laws for the good OF commune
ties. Figures were offered which
the promoters OF temperance al
legged showed that men who do
not drink performed more labor
in a given time than their breth-
ren who drink. 1t was alleged
that the non-drinkers earn more
money and had more than those
who spent part OF their time in
saloons. Their argument must
have had weight. The results
show it. Big business men won
victory.
Undoubtedly the part that the in
iustrial world has taken in the cam
paign against the liquor traffic has
had tremendous influence. There was
no place for the boozer in Office, fac
.ory or shop. But the Telegraph is in
