The attempt of those who claim that prohibition docs not prohibit Is called to the following report taken from the official sources of the United States government: "The Federal Treasury suffered a shrinkage because of the prohibition wave dining the fiscal year ending June 30 last. During this lime there was a decrease of $.1,200,773 Jn whisky tax as shown by the Inter nal revenue report. Whisky tax col lections last year were $ 1 34.RCS. 034, as against $140,158,807 for the preceding year. The receipts of beer and other fermented liquors amounted to $57,456,413, a decrease of $2,351,205 compared with 1D0S." If those who are in search of In formation on this subject will add to the nbove sum saved to the people on the whiskey tax the cost of the prosecutions of crimes committed by men through whisky it will amount to many thousands of dollars In very county In each of the states and It is quite safe to say that the money thus saved would amount to more than a hundred millions an nually. This looks like n large sum but It is certainly n conservative es timate. Wo admit that revenue can he se cured for the city by licensing cer tain men to put liquid hell Into the months of fathers of families and young men to steal nway their brains, but Iho policy Is bad In the extreme, and besides It costs more than It conies lo, to say nothing of the homes that are wrecked, the lives that are blasted, and the wo men nd children that go hungry. A man may do thnt which will aid the monster of Intemperance, but woe unto such a man. j SOCIAL EVENTS (f A surprise party was held at the Smith Cook home on Fifth street on j Monday evening, the object being to surprise the whole family, Ralph I Dean Included, and the young people I were rewarded by a complete suc cess.
