THE PROHIBITION DISCUSSION
Taking the campaign for prohibition in this territory seriously.
Alaska news| apers continue to devote many columns to discussing
tin propositi >n. It is noticeable that the arguments, as was to
J o expected, ire replete wiili butseu and piejudiced statements, and
llie truth is handled m a most carriers maiiucr. Hut in this the
/d;L>ka news;• apei s dilTe* vi,y little from tliose in the States where
llie prohibit! >n question i> at issue in the present campaign. In
stead of discussing the idlegod aluidgement of personal liberty in
\,lvcd m li e prohibition of the liquor traffic, and the loss to
Alaska muni: q alities of revenue from licenses with which to main
i dn schorls and pay municipal expenses, the disclosure of condi
lions allege!,’ to exist in prohib.iion territory seems to occupy the
r.ltcntion of llie propagandise- almost exclusively. These arc com
mendable or damnable, acci r«.ii’g to which side they arc \icwjjd
fn.iii. It i> refreshing, d.enfoiv. to turn from these and read a
discussion of the ifhvt- of pr -iiibiiicn in a state where it has been
tried for m\ m .nibs, by a man who. whether his statements be
biased or mf. evidently tries to present the facts as they are, a ml
i> in a position to do so.
(.’ B. h.e.heu, editor ol the Mattie limes, ulio was a uiuei
opponent oi tile prohibition law when it was before the voters of
ihe stale of Washington a year ago, has a most remarkable signed
article m t! c issue of his paper of July 2. ill which he makes some
startling si: ;omenta, and backs them up with official figures. The
article is c ffial forth by a letter signed by the Missouri Wholesale
liquor I ha. ers' Association regarding conditions in Simple. which
was piii. 1: i d in a St. Louis newspaper. Mr. PJetlien quotes the
lett"r as pel :ws:
i..» the month of January and the first weeks of Febru
ary. 1I1IP1 diatily f, H .wing the advent of prohibition in Wash
ington. i.el before that nostrum bad an opportunity to lay its
dutch in oil the community. anti salooiusts were busy intliet
ing upon the American i ubiic ler.gthy laudations oi the alleged
■‘wotue r l oikings" ol prohibition.
As the on uths roll by. however, we hear less and less of
Seattle "nrobibitioii.* the reason is found in the reports of
city a", county officials in the Puget sound metropolis.
Y\ hot in January only !>! arrests for drunkenness were re
port ft i :t Seattle, nr .hibitionists could not proclaim too loudly
that tiie millennium of virtue had been reached. This \sas in
1 he so.. ' of those few weeks bet: re the bootl-piger and the
other ciui ireu of "prohibition" had an opportunity to introduce
them.-: o- - to the public. Today, however, they are almost an
institut" !.. hr. Ill i»4 arrests in January, the number increased
to 117 o February, and more than doubled in March, the
number being 2114. The latter record is only 00 arrests behind
that of d.i.'cli. lilln. This slight difference, however, is mure
than ci ; ;>y the nimib'U' of "m me bnuii- ’ that always
al,..uni. m dry communities. In the face of official records
there i a i 1):’ no question liiai home-drinking is on the increase.
In January only 2.117 permits for the importation of liquors
were i - .ell. This number increased to 4,20'J in lebiuary, and
0,2o0 m March.
On of the most noticeable results of "prohibition is the
._-c in tl:e number of drug stores in King county,
where Seattle is situated. Within three months they have been
increa.-'1'. by 05.
Fil . , lolly. Seattle has suffered greatly. Many have 1'ft
the ci• \ ajid. seltl’d el-ewhere. including three of her w ailth
ir st bu iness men. W. K. Boeing. 1 >. K. Skinner and .1. C.
Kiten. Matty stores have been vacated, and in those cases
wlurt ,l.ey have been reoccupied rentals have been reduced
from 'll to 25 per cent, according to Henry Broderick, one of
the largest dealers in rentals ill Seattle.
Mr. Blethen’s reply to the above, which was also published in
the St. Louis newspaper, was as follows:
Editor The Republic, St. Louis. Mo.
IV-r Sir: I have a clipping from your paper headed
“Prohibition in Seattle." and marked, “Printed May 15. 1916.
Whih i h'.'ld no brief for prohibition, and in fact fought it
hard tin -ugh the columns of my paper. I resent such a mess
of misrepresentations and deliberate falsehoods as you have
published over the signature of the “Missouri Wholesale Liquor
Dealers' Association."
Tie* first two paragraphs of the communication are argu
ments which it is not necessary for me to answer. The third
paragraph is a wonderful juggling of figure* in an attempt to
prove false conclusi' n. In March. 1915, only such “drunks ’
were recorded on the police blotter as caused disturbances
w; rr'oidng trial and punishment. Every man discovered by
the “lice under the influence of liquor in March. 1916. was
nrrot *d and recorded on the police blotter lor punishment,
the (hi habit of letting more than one-half of the total num
ber of drunks taken in. out of jail on sobering up the next
day having been abandoned.
Arrests Oomp-.r* d. The P.fal arrest> for crimes growing
out V h“ sal* "r’ liquor, a- reci rded on thi police blotter,
w• r-* " March. 1915 1.679: for March, 1916. LOSS. I rom
t!.‘ 1916 arrests should be deducted, to secure the correct
point cif view. 49 arrests of liquor people for violations of
the dry law. This h aves March only 1.039 arrests upon which
a eon pari.-on c:.n be based. If then we add only 300 arrests
for drunkenness in March. 1915, which did not get to the
police blotter, then the total for March 1915. is raised to
1.979. March of thi.- year. then, was marked by almost one
thousand fewer arrests than March, 1915, under the wet law.
in the fir.-t three months of 1915. 5,265 persons were taken
to the city jail as the result of misuse of liquor. In the same
period in 1916, under the dry law, and including the viola
tions of that law by the liquor people themselves, only 2,554
arres's were made, but these figures do not take into consid
eration at least one thousand persons arrested in the three
month- period of 1915 whose names did nut get to the'police
blotter.
The figures relative to the number of permits in the same
paragraph are accurate, but are used by the liquor dealers
to draw a false inference. It was natural that the number of
permit* under a law permitting the importation of liquor
should increase as private supplies holding over from the wet
period ran nut.
Concerning Drug Mores.— lhe fourth paragraph speaks of
an increase in the number of drug stores. It is perfectly true
that this did occur, but the liquor dealers failed to state that
the most of these drug stores were started up by ex-saloon
keepers, who hoped thereby to beat the law. Nor does the
VVh- i. -ale Liquor Dealers’ Association tell you that several
score arrests have been made amongst these new drug stores,
and that latterly many of them have been completely wrecked
by raining parties as summary punishment.
I'm illy, in the last paragraph you have permitted the pub
lication of a deliberate and willful falsehood, and added to
that a false insinuation fully as contemptible and unwar
ranted. In a community of 330,000 souls, a community as
wealthy, happy, contented, prosperous and progressive—all
these things in spite of the wishes, desires and statements of
the liquor dealers—no possible injury could be worked by
the denarture even of three such wealthy men and sterling
citizens as Messrs. Boeing, Skinner and Eden. But these
men have not left Seattle. They never intended to leave,
never announced their intention of going, and though indig- ’
mint a: the treatment they accidentally received at the hands
of over-zealous officials, are still in Seattle and expect to re
main here indefinitely.
Business Has Increased.—Now, instead of suffering greatly
financially, Seattle in bank clearings, bank deposits and vol
ume of business of every kind, excepting the handling of
liquor, has vastly increased since the coming of the dry
regime, January first, of this year. I am not attempting to
say that the dry law caused these things. I am merely stat
ing it has happened. No stores whatever have been vacated
as a result of the dry law. Somewhat more than 300 saloons
were closed, and all but a very few of the locations occupied
by these have since been occupied by entirely new business
houses. Naturally the rem which a shoe store, a candy store
or a specialty shop can pay in an old saloon location is less
than could be afforded by the displaced bar. No other rentals
in S -at tie were reduced by the disappearance of the saloons.
In fact there are many instances of increases in rentals of busi
m-ss locations, and on the main retail street of Seattle, within
the last few weeks, the highest price ever paid for mtsiness
real estate was recorded on the purchase of one lot by a dry
goods tnan.
In conclusion, permit me lo say it is not necessary nt this
time to discuss the moral of prohibition at all. 1 simply
desire to refute the statements calculated to injure my home
cilv in order that the liquor dealers may benefit. Very truly,
C B BLKTHKN,
Editor The Seattle Times.
In a statement accompanying I lie publication of the two letters
Mr. Biel hen admits that building permits have declined $174,000,
and this is the only item in the business list which is unfavorable.
Bank clearings increased $55,000,000, bank deposits greatly in
creased and savings accounts increased in numbers and totals.
Beal estate transfers have increased and higher prices are being
paid for property, ami collections are stated by certain authorities
to be 50 per cent better than in 1015. Suicides and murders have
decreased one-half. A comparison of the total arrests for the
first six months of 1015 and 1016 shows that the “total human
beings kept out of jail, apparently, by operation of the prolubi
tion law,” was 5.S44. “Think of the mm total of human anguish
being reduced in that amount I" says Mr. Blethen. "1 confess that
II makes me ashamed of myself for ever having dared to argue
that the saloons should not be disturbed.
The closing paragraphs of Mr. Biel hen’s article will furnish
foot! for thought for even the most sincere believer in “personal
liberty.” He says:
Seattle is better off without saloons. Prohibition as prac
ticed here may have its weak spots, but not one of them has
made itself feit in business conditions. Thousands of women
and children in Seattle have better clothes and food than
they had a year ago. Perhaps prohibition didn’t bring this
condition about, but certainly prohibition can’t be charged
with making conditions harder for women and children. Of
course, it is my personal belief that the closing of the saloons
has directly caused this particular improvement. Prohibition
is keeping thousands cut of jail and is saving human life. It
is giving employers full gangs of efficient laborers on Monday
mornings and reducing the accidents on construction work of
all kinds to a minimum. It has certainly improved collec
tions and helped the banks, even after noting all losses caused
by financial disaster to liquor dealers.
We were wrong when we said prohibition would ruin
Scuttle and the state of W ashington. And we are going to
do everything we can to stop the campaign of misrepresenta
tion and villification waged against the name and reputation
of this city bv the newspapers of other states.

The Valdez Miner .-ays that of the $500,000 appropriated by
congress for Alaska roads, $350,000 is to be spent on the Fair
banks Val.il z highway, "and with this sum it is expected to make
the great thoroughfare to the Interior a highway equal to most of
the roads of the States, and one over which autos may travel with
speed am! comfort the year round." All of which i> most de.-ir
But i; i- regrettable that while the f ad authorities are in
tent on making boulevards in one part of the territory, they seem
to have forgotten that other sections are entirely without roads.
The expenditure of a small fraction of $350.(100 would do won lers
in the way of connecting producing creeks in this district with
tie head of navigation. And "siteed ami comfort" would nut be
expected.

will support Hughes for the presidency, will bring disat-pointmen'

forsakes that great body of Alaska voters who have stood by him
in his splendid fight for the recognition of Alaska and lakes soli -
w:th the opponents of the national administration which granted
that recognition. Mr. Wickers ham here: -fore has been returned
on a non-partisan ticket, ami as a non-partisan he found a wide

will desire t i elect a man in harmony with Pre-irlent Wil-tm
rather than one who stands on an opposition platform.

$500,000 FOR VALDEZ ROAD
(Valdez Miner:
A telegram received from Delegate Wicker.-hant by Mayor
James Patterson brings the good news that the military oppropn
t.tion bill, carrying $500,000 for Alaska roads and $0,250,000 for
the Alaska railroad, was passed.
The news of the passage by the house of the appropriation of
$500,000 for Alaska roads means much for \ ai lez lhere is btik
doubt but that the bill will pass the senate with the items practi
cal}- unchanged, as whatever reduction-- which might be made
in the amounts were expected to be made in the house. It is
therefore almost certain that the half million dollars carried by
| this measure will be available for road work shortly after the first
of July.
Of this sum abcui f.solUMJU. it is pi .imem wm oe q cm on me
Valdez-Fairbanks road, and with this sum it is t>;tt -1 ; > make
tho groat thoroughfare to the Interior a highway equal ' > no v* < f
the roa 1 in the States, and one over which aides may travel with
speed and comfort the year round. For se\er 1 years this ha.- bmn
the aim of ('el >nel \Y. F. Richardson, chairman of the road com
mission. in whose hands the expenditures of the tun a- wiil be
placed. During the \ ast winter he spent several months in V a h
ington working for this appropriation, and largeh* u> his eifort
is due the fttct that the appropriation was included in the military
bill. With this sum at the command of the commi.-sion, it F
believed it will be in a position not only to make a number of
needed repairs to the road, but to so protect and 'urfaec the high
way that it will be vastly improved, and the future cos. of main
tenance greatly reduced.
To the people of Valdez, the Copper river valley and a large
I part of the Interior country this wagon road is of vastly greater
importance than the government railroad. While almost parallel,
they are so widely separated as to serve a different section. Along
the wagon road there are numerous mines and vast areas of low
grade placer ground only awaiting cheap transportation to make
their development profitable. The completion of tlie wagon road
will open this section and from it will pour a steady stream of its
product into Valdez, and a corresponding stream of mining ma
chinery and supplies to the Interior. It will also mean a practical
monopoly for Valdez of the passenger traffic between the coast
and the Interior, this route having a number of advantages over
other routes now used.

THE WOMAN OF YESTERDAY
She produced great men, not great issues, and she did not pro
duce herself at all. She was only the blessed medium through
which all life flowed, receiving from her a certain fineness, a color
of the spirit, a vague and gentle effulgence. She was not the
epochal woman. She was the mother and patient prophet of
that woman.
They who fail to comprehend that the woman of today is the
product as well as the descendant of tho woman of yesterday do
not know her history. She led no movements, but she herself
moved forward in the sweeter grace of silence.
She was the most truly and wisely progressive woman this
country has yet produced. She failed of recognition deliberately.

AN EXTREMIST’S VIEWS
ON DANGERS THREATENING
THE AMERICAN NATION
(Frank Buffington Vronnmn, in Century
Magazi ne I
i am looking for a coalition between Ger
many ami Japan after the war is over I
am not sure it will wait till peace is signed
to break the Monroe doctrine once for all.
A nation that could find a pretext to
p| .nge the world into war in the min
der of an archduke might hive little diffi
culty in making her claims against Mexico.
The crisis may crystallize through Mexico
or Panama or elsewhere. It is to be re
membered that there are indications in both
Germany and Japan of a h-eling that the
Monroe doctrine is an insolence not to be
tolerated. Those of os who have cared to
know are we’l aware of the colonization in
South America, and especially in southern
Brazil, where for ten years Germany has
virtually had a standing army larger than
our whole army. We know of German
movements in Haiti an l the Danish Wr-t
Indies, in Mexico, :.nd especially in Canada
and the United States. By this time the
veil has been lifted from the whole vicious
masquerade of German policy in the revela
11<>iis ot ino raniincatnvns r.i tne tentacles
of the official spy-and-bully system head
quartered at Washington. In the light of
the revelation of the main conspiracy and
its relation to Berlin, certain facts appear
to have a new significance—that there are
more Germans than reservists and more
hyphens than Germans One may ask what
the German official clique did with the forty
tnillit ns said to have been received by wire
less in those days before and after the dra
matic debut of the villain on the stage at
Columbus. N. M.; and why simultaneously
at Vera Ortiz German reservists have re
cently been gathering, anti what a curious
coincidence it is how very curious that
the Germans It: ve more machine guns in
Mexico than we have in our whole army!
I tio not think anybody knows how many
they have in the United States. Another
interesting pireumstan.ee was the reported
discovery among some captured papers ot
Villa of a treaty with Japan giving this
gentleman a million dollars for the right to
land an army in the United States. Speak
ing of the Japanese, also, there are certain
circumstances of significance which stand
out for the consideration of wise turn.
There are said to be more Japanese veter: n
of the wars of tie mikado in t tildonna
at this moment than our whole 1110!>:1
standing army; as many more in llawau ;
half as mail}' more in British (' bs'itoia.
There : re said to be still more in the Philip

about the Panama ohtv:T. and 1 h e e oc-e
told by an i Hirer of the .-tall of .the war col

pacifist friends do not think there i- danger
of invasion of this ..ountry ivy the Germans
or th'- Japanese. We are alreadv invaded.
What was the meaning of the reports

“JIM HILL’S” EXPERIENCES
MUSHING THROUGH ALASKA
In the April number of 'he Wclb-Farg
Messenger, a publication conducted by the
great express company, is an article entitled
“Alaska—A Few Remini censes," by J. V.
Hill. Mr. Hill is superintendent for the
Wells-Fargo Express Company of the Ore
gon, Puget Sound and Alaska-A ukon divi
sion, with headquarters in Seattle, and is
well and favorably known throughout the
territory as “Jim Hdl. Ho tells in a most
j interesting manner of his first winter trip
j in Alaska, when, in company with two other
officers of the Alaska Commercial Company,
j he left St. Michael on December 27, 1000.
! with Dawson as his destination. He relates
many incidents of the trip, which was, of
course, made with dog teams, and says:
“It has been scid that a man will soon get
inured to work such as was our daily
routine. Don’t for a moment believe it.
I was thirty days or more on that trip
before my muscles were in condition so that
when I would attempt to get up in the
morning I could do so without it being an
effort, as from the exposure and hard work
of snowshoeing I ached in every bone and
muscle of my body. My companions were
old, experienced and hardened ‘mushers, sc
aside from the cold they did not suffer.
Mr. Hill tells of having been lost on the
trail, being separated from his companions
and of a narrow escape from being shot ii
mistake for a wolf, and of the final arrive
in Dawson, which was reached on Marc!
20, after having covered the twelve hundrec
odd miles in forty-three traveling days, ai
average of almost thirty miles per day
“which was considered good travel, weathe
and conditions of the trails taken into con
sideration.”
The article is illustrated with interestini
Alaska scenes, among them being one of th
company’s headquarters at Ruby.
EDITOR OF FINANCIAL PAPER I

LONDON, July 7. Francis W. Hirst, the I
prominent financial writer, in his
