PROHIBITION AND PROSPERITY

(From an article by B. C. Forbes, Editor
OF Forbes Magazine)
II may be mistaken, but my observa-
tions compel me to conclude that pro-
hibition has had more than anything else
to do with the abolition of sums, with
the marked Improvement in the homes
OF millions of ordinary families, with the
phenomenal growth of building and loan
organizations, with the unprecedented in
crease in savings bank deposits, with the
vast expansion in life insurance, with the
multiplication of families able to own an
automobile, with the over-crowdng of
Our colleges and universities, with the
popularity OF vacations, with the increase
in travel at home and abroad, and if you
please, with the nationwide acceptance
of the radio"

TRY A JAIL SENTENCE

course, 10 pay another fine in the
future, SO undoubtedly establish
Sinking fund" 10 take care of such
exigencies.
The fning OF bootleggers and
moonshiners will never make much
OF an impression. Those engaged
in selling the liquor find it too easy
to make money to worry much
about fines.
Why is not a Jail sentence im-
posed once in a while?
Many offenders who do not fear
a fine would think twice if they
thought they were going to jail
for sixty or ninety days or a year
instead of digging down in their
pockets and handing over an even
hundred or two The law pro-
vides for Jail sentence if so i'm

will continue to offend.

LIFTING LABOR
Chicago Evening PosO

NCnlcdBO LEenlnS 1OSlJ
Prohibition is not the only fac
tor i'll Our prosperity, but we are
convinced il is an increasingly im-
portant factor. From all over the
country has come testimony to the
greater reliability and efficiency of
men employed in industry, and side
by side with it has come abundant
evidence that thrift is lifting labor
to a new level of economic power.
There is no one cause to which
these conditions may be attributed
more reasonably than that of pro-
hibition.
The passing of the saloon has
been of immense advantage to the
workers of America, and their ben
eft is reflected throughout the ma
tion's life.

Led Minnesota Forces
Superintendent Stafford was at tie head
OF the Anti-Saloon League of Minnesota
for twelve and half years During the
term of his office IN that state DR.. Stafford
made a notable record as a constructive
fighter against the liquor traffic. Under
his leadership the drys OF Minnesota
broke the dominating hold of the liquor
interests in the legislature and in the
larger cities of the state. Because OF the
thorough organization and progressive
program of the Anti Saloon League
forces IN Minnesota this state has taken
a leading place among the common
wealths of the nation and the matter OF
prohibition legislation, temperance edu-
cation and law enforcement.
Call to Illinois
The following is a part of DR.. Saiford's
letter Of resignation to the Headquarters
Committee of the Minnesota League:
My Dear Associates: Twelve years
ago I came here at your invitation, and
at the suggestion Of the national officers
Of the Anti-Saloon League and, as | be-
leved, at the call of God, to become the
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League
of Minnesota. Since assuming the duties
Of this position, l have devoted my en-
ergy and time without limit, to the best
possible performance of my duties
Together we have fought many bat
ties, suffered some serious defeats, and
won many and great victories. These ex-
periences have bound lis together in very
close fellowship, not only as officers and
as fellow contenders in a common cause,
but in bonds of the warmest brotherly
friendship as well.

relationship must terminate. Again the

the mercury bobs up and down through

been known to reach 80 degrees, but
such excessive changes are confined

largely treeless, and when the sun is

a consequence the nights are always
cool-even when the sun blisters one
