THEIR ILLOGIC
Unless a proposition is logical; un
less it can fairly and-squarely stand
upon its own merits, without delusive
arguments, illogical thought, veiled
misrepresentations, wrong ideas and
wrong suggestions to sustain it, in
the opinion of the thinking, serious
world, that proposition cannot endure
or make progress which any meritor
ious proposition shouid make. There
can be no doubt but that there are
honest, earnest men and women work
ing for the delusive cause of Prohibi
tion, under the mistaken belief that it
is an aid to Temperance, whereas it is
temperance’s greatest enemy. There
are brainy men engaged in the cam
paign for Prohibition, and God-boost
ing organizations engaged in publish
ing and circulating literature in the
interests of the Prohibition cause, but
it has always been a cause of wonder
to us why they almost invariably i
leave to the illogical in their ranks the
work of writing all their posters and
advertising matter.
Since the Prohibition campaign be
gan in this Territory this camp has
been covered with posters of the Pro
hibition stamp^um! we have made a

study of them. We can state honest
ly and fearlessly that not one in ten
of those posters is logical or fair or
specific to the degree which would
demand consideration from logical
men. 'fake almost any one of them
and consider it badly, and it will not
stand up under the demand of the
; specific or logical mind. One poster
we note today, issued by the Presby
terian Hoard of Temperance and ad
vertised for sale for general circula
tion and vote getting, and which has
been reproduced in part by the Prohi
bition Billboard of this city, is a case
in point. It reads:
A BUSINESS PROPOSITION
If the liquor traffic aids business,
why do not the commercial organiza
tions and railroads when issuing
pamphlets to advertise a state or
community or city tell about the
schools, churches, libraries, banks,
mills, factories, farm products and
forget about the breweries, distiller
ies, cafes, saloon, gambling house,
brothels and their products. Why
discriminate ?
Certainly, that poster is not the re
sult of thought or logic. To a practi
cal politician or a business man that
poster would be what comes under
the head of “a fatal error,” and yet
it is called by the Prohibitions “a
business proposition.” It seems to us
that we are not warranted in turning
over the business of our town or Ter
ritory to men who have such ideas ot
what constitutes a business proposi
tion.
The mills and factories of a camp
are its assets, and assets are always
advertised as drawing cards. All ad
vertisements should he for drawing
purposes, and are, when they are
good advertising. The hanks of a
town are the living evidences of its
sound financial conditions. The
churches and schools of a town are
its “luxuries” and benefactions, and
the better they are the higher it
speaks for the financial and material
welfare of a town. They are the
“works” of a town or community, and
by a town’s works is a town judged.
The breweries and distilleries and
saloons and cafes of a town are its
municipal revenue-producing source.-.

from the standpoint of taxation.
They provide in licenses the money
which supports and maintains and im
proves the schools—the importance
and excellence and magnificence of a
camp's schools always show to the
business man that there is a suf
ficiency of breweries, distilleries,
cafes and saloons in the town to pro
duce the revenue needed for the aup
| port of its educational institutions—
: else the education facilities of a town
| would be restricted and constricted
and lacking as they are all over Pro
hibition Kansas. When a commercial
j organization or a railroad advertises
for visitors to any given town it
knows in advance that such visitors
would not visit their town unless that
town could provide for them every
thing that they might want in tie* way
of minor commercial advantages. The
man who takes a drink when he feels
like it and wants it would not visit
any town, no matter how highly it
was advertised, if that town denied
the individual’s right to either drink
or let it alone, as he desired, and he
can tell from the mills and factories
/
and churches and schools of a com
munity whether it has saloons and
cafes or not—such institutions are
natural to any right town; to any
town desirable to business men as a
place of abode or a place to visit. To
the list of “Why Nots” might as well
and more fairly have been added the
clothing stores, general merchandise
stores, bakeries, drug stores, barber
shops, real estate offices, and all the
other businesses which go to make up
a complete business community—
wherever they are advertised, the sa
loon and cafe is also advertised.
This talk is unnecessary. The il
logic of the poster is too apparent to
need comment. We simply mention
the thing in passing, as only an ordin
ary and common or garden kind of
Prohibition poster.—Fairbanks Daily

1 SEPT. DIVIDENDS LARGEST
IN AMERICAN MINING
When dividends of $78,772,612 were
paid in the 9 months of 1913 by 140
American mines and works it was
thought that the zenith had been
reached. Rut this record has been far
outclassed by the declarations of 155
com pinnies during the 9 months of
1916. According to reports made to
Mining and Engineering World, these
companies divided among fortunate
shareholders the magnificent sum o.
$165,675,300. This is equivalent to
nearly 25 per cent of the total divi
dends paid during the last 10 years.
With the exception of 1908, when dis
bursements amounting to $32,351,450
were paid during the 9 months’ per
iod, dividends have been fairly regu
lar, ranging from approximately $45,
000,000 up.
September proved the most remun
erative in point of dividends paid of
any single month in the history of the
industry, when disbursements totaled
$29,551,869, but $2,799,581 less than
was paid during the first 9 months of
1908.
