Noted Merchant Says Former Sa-
loon Money Is Now Buying
Homes and Necessities

In an interview with Charles r. Jones,
chairman of the American Business Men S
Prohibition Foundation, j. G. Penny,
American merchant and philanthropist,
discussed prohibition. He said in part;
"Since national prohibition have seen
our whole business increase many times
over; that of course, is a source of per-
sonal qualification. The principle cause Of
this great increase, in addition to the en-
ergy that my associates have ever put into
the business, is removal of the economic
waste of the saloon. Our managers report
that a large part of this increase comes
from the spending by women of money
their husbands formerly spent over the
bars of saloons.
ut is the dollars diverted from the sa-
looms that are buying homes and autono-
biles, creating splendid living conditions,
building savings accounts, and last, but not
least, caring for the wives and the Chill
dren.
This nation is on its way to economic
liberty, and it is prohibition that has made
it possible for us to speak of true liberty
as a fact about to be accomplished instead
of as a state of mind for philosophers to
talk about.
THAT prohibition is here to stay I do
not doubt but it's friends can not be too
easy-going. They must summon all their
strength to support and maintain 1t. The
ranks of the -prohibitionists seem to
be growing increasingly active and mill
tant.
For some reason difficult to assign,
every vital cause appears TO have its VAL
ley Forge-its last hard struggle before
the decisive victory. Prohibition is ap-
parentiy approaching its crisis; in my
opinion its defeat would be a catastrophe
of the first magnitude"

Should stranger in the city of Newark,
New jersey find himself by chance at 40
Rector street, he would undoubtedly stop
in admiration before a structure whose
well-balanced modernistic lines and IA
cade, trimmed with black Swedish granite,
challenge ones curiosity as to what the
building might house. Had the stranger
wandered down this same street decade
and a half ago he would have had little
difficulty in ascertaining the nature of the
business conducted at 40 Rector street.
Walls of dirty-red brick, the rattle of huge
horse drawn trucks, the cursing Of team
sters, the clatter of hogsheads, the pun
gent, sour odor of cooking maSh-all EVIL

American brewery in full operation.
Peter Ballantine's brewery was not the
largest establishment of its kind in the
city of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and posi-
bly, Krueger's, were larger; but if social
register of the trade" had existed, Bal
lantine's would have undoubtedly headed
the list-for that section of the country, at
any rate. It was the Cartier of the beer
industry - the ariStocrat of the mash
heap"
But "the old order changeth and giveth
away to the new" much to the discomfort
of certain of the anti-social individuals in
the country today. The city of Newark has
increased its population by more than
third since 1918. Within the past two years
two skyscrapers which would grace New
York City itself have been erected. Filling
stations have usurped the corners once oc-
cupied by Saloons and-the old Ballantine
brewery is college.
Three educational institutions - Dana
College, the Seth Boyden School of Bust
ness, and the New Jersey Law School-are
now established at 40 Rector street, busy
training future lawyers, business men and
women and liberal arts scholars for their
careers
For some years after the beer trucks
ceased backing up to its doors, due to the
passing of the Eighteenth Amendment,
the old Ballantine stood empty. Finally
the New Jersey Law School, sensing the
possibilities in the barn-hke edifce, pur-

BLIND PIGS INFEST
VANCOUVER

Here is another example OF the practl-
cability of the so-called government con-
troll method of dealing with the liquor
traffic, which the vets in this country are
advocating as a cure-all for the evils re-
sulting from wicked prohibition. An edi-
torial appearing in the Vancouver Brit
ISL Columbian Sun for September 10, 1880,
reads in part as follows:
No one will deny that the business
Of selling liquor illicitly in Vancouver
is growing by leaps and bounds. Any
reasonably Well-informed citizen can
find one or two blind pigs any place
downtown without walking more than
two or three blocks. Most OF these
places are so we'll known as blind pigs
that the matter Of securing a convic-
ton could be accomplished on circum-
stantial evidence alone.
These joints keep on running for
one of two reasons:
l. Either the police do not know
about them,
.. Or the police are not interested
in closing them down.
If the police do not know about
these places, they are less well-ln-
formed than about one hundred thou
sand private citizens of Vancouver.
What strange utterances from that land
of Utopian liquor control!

Mrs Henry w. Peabody of Beverly,
Massachusetts, chairman of the National

commenting upon the election, that she
would move from Massachusetts because
the state prohibition law had been re-
pealed Mrs Peabody, who was one of the
leaders of the dry forces. said:

other states protected by law are open.

There is to be decisive battle waged for the dominion of the i1- terior of Kodi4k Island. N determin- ed effort to disturb the ancient sol- itary region of the great brown bear over the fairest i-land of all the north Pacific Under the lead- ership of the Independent Guides lof Kodiak, men will abandon their boats and the taste of the island fringe and with pack animals and trained saddle horses will sally forth with rifle and prOspector's pick to penetrate to the remote de-
 files and valleys to unfathOm the
 secrets held in these mountains So
 many centuries. The campaign for the entering wedge begins with the
 passing of the snows and the biz
 game hunters, the stockmen and
 the prospectors are arming them selves for the foray.
 ! And what will thse crusaders
 against the might Of the great bear
 find when they penetrate the fast- Enesses of interior Kodiak?
 ' We get the best account from F-
 A. Henton and Sid Olds, licen-ed
 guides, who have been in many
 parts of Alaska and who are oper-
 ating independently Of the associa-
 tions and who are amply provided
 with horses and equipment. Olds
 was formerly with the Alaska Guid-
 es, Inc, but is now. ranching at
 Middle Bay where he runs a bunch
 of cattle and where he is in contin-
 ual battle with the bear to save his
 patrimony Tn 1928, Henton with
 Clayton Spencer, cattleman of Ne-
 braska, made a pack and saddle
 horse trip across the island from
 Middle Bay to the head of K1uyiak
 Bay, probably the only two white
 men ever to make such trip.
 W We VIII find along the coast
 slopes and some of the upper
 meadows a growth of grass that
 will reach to a mans hips when
 sitting in the saddle. We will find
 beautiful surprise valleys with
 giant cottonwoods and leaping streams alive with flashing trout and salmon. We will find rich in- dications of ore and surprising stands of timber.
