have the windows and doors in, but
have never been finished; no work has
been done on the others, besides their
bare frames.
Building permits from January to
August, the last nine wet months of
1913, were $388,925; from November,
1913, to September, 1914, the next
eleven “dry” months, they were $120,-
000 less, or $268,160.
The grammar school opening day en-
rollment in 1913 was 1510; on the same
day 1914, 1469, but “business is fine.”
Bank deposits show a decrease of
$309,942 since the town went “dry,”
even after allowing for the $485,000
deposited this year from sale of bonds
in Boston. The decrease, therefore,
really should be $794,912, but “busi
ness is fine.”
The attendance at the “Cherry
Fair” this year was about one half
what it was the last “wet” year. The
Ministerial Association before the elee-
ticn which made Salem “dry,” told
the Cherry Fair promoters that they
would make up for the donations u«u
ally made by the saloons, b»*t utterly
failed to do so this year and the pro
moters refused to hold that carnival.
The “Cherrians, ” consisting of 100
roal boosters, but of no prohibitionists,
then pledged their personal member
ship for the necessary funds, requiring
the payment on their part of $500. To
rub it in, the Methodists then turned
their church into a restaurant, put the
kitchen in the pulpit and competed
with the legitimate restaurants for the
little business that their proprietors
had hungrily looked for ns a possible
annual godsend.
Business must be “fine” in any city
when building permit«, payrolls, bank
deposits, bankruptcies, closed stores, de
populated dwellings, depressed realty
values, school enrollments and carnival
statistics all tell so dreary a story of
literal fact. Maybe the prohibitionists
mean that the “agitating business” is
fine.

The city of Springfield,

presents a picture, as com

bustling condition of a year
ago, that would make the
angels weep. A year ago

work was employed. Every
