PROHIBITION AND LIUOR REVENUES. A correspondent of the New York Sun calls attention to the fact that while internal revenue returns for the year ended June 30, 1915, showed a falling off In taxes on intoxicating liquors, they show an increase for 116. The falling off was attributed to the growth of prohibition sentiment The report of the commissioner for the fiscal year 1916 shows that al though state-wide prohibition laws went Into effect in January 1, 1916, in the states of Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Oregon, South Carolina and Washington, with a total popula tion of 9.000,000, there ha been an increase of $23,000,000 In the taxes paid on distilled and fermented liquors. If prohibition was the cause of this decline in the receipts from linnor taxes in 1915. was the addition f 9,000,000 population to prohibition terltryy the cause of the Increase In 191i? the correspondent Inquires. Possibly industrial depression caused the falling off for 1915, and Industrial prosperity brought about the increase for 1916. Who knowsf Wilmington iDel.) Every Evening. NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT.

THE PENALTY OF GREED In these trying hours there may arise a few who will try to get rich quick at the expense of the nation and its people. But It will fee neith er profitable or wise for them to at tempt anything of the kind. If their business la national in its s-nne the government will handle them with lit gloves. The President j has so warned them, j If their business is local in its character, we, the people, will see , that they get their just deserts. There must be no price boosting, no gouging, no angling for Eoidden wealth for the few at the expense of misery for many. The man who cannot be a patriot from choice must have it thrust up on him from necessity. The people are mighty and their will must prevail. It must be a per iod of loyalty and live and let live.
