The saloons pay licenses and help to support the place in which they are located. We would have a hard time in Kelliher to keep going if we did not get some license money and I am sure that the same is true with Bau- dette and Spooner Saloons help run those villages.” The above statements were made to the editor of the Pioneer Tuesday in a conversation with a resident of Kelliher. They are one of the strongest ar- guments of the “wets.” For instance, we will say that a license is $1,000. “Wets” argue that the saloons by this $1,000 license fee help maintain and support public functions. Take away, let us say -15 saloons, at $1,000 each and you de- prive the city or village of an annual revenue of $15,000. The ‘“wets” argue that if saloons are abolished this deficit will then have to be made up by increased taxes. The saloon- keepers nod complacently at this ar- gument—and smile up their sleeves. But, Mr. Saloonkeeper, answer this question please: “Where do you get that $1,000 to pay your annual license?” The citizen pays it, of course. Not only do the citizens pay this $1,000 but they pay in addition at least $20,000 annually to each saloon. This extra sum goes to pay the saloonkeep- ers’ expenses, his salary and his big profit, which keeps him fat, cor- pulent and happy. By investing the money that he would save if he gave up liquors, the average man would so materially increase his real and personal property holdings that he could easily pay his tithe to make up for the loss of revenue from sa- loon licenses. He would then be pay- ing a very small per cent of his in- come taxes and would pocket the bal- ance personally instead of turning it over to the dispenser of strong drinks. Think of what you can do with. the amount you save and com- pare this with what you get squandering your surplus on alco- holic drinks. Suppose- the average man drinks four glasses of beer a day and that is a low average—there goes. $1.20 a week, to say nothing of what might happen on Sunday when the law winks its eye. In 52 weeks §$62.40 has disappeared and nothing to show for it except a bigger stomach and perhaps a loss of breath and of men- tal and physical energy generally. In 20 years, if you are an average drinker, you will have given to alco- hol a tribute of $1,284, the nucleous of a nice home. If there are 2,000 average drinkers in the “wet” dis- tricts of Beltrami county they pay each year 2,000 times $62.40 or $124,800. Quite a sum and then think what a pitifully small amount we get back from licenses. These estimates do not take into account at all stronger and higher priced drinks such as whiskey and wines. These are, however, the greater evils and the greater revenue producers for the saloon men. No wonder the saloon men smile up their sleeves. Think of these facts when you vote at the county option election in Bel- trami county, August 14. THE MEXICAN SITUATION. By way of excuse for the horrible mess into which our Mexican rela- tions have fallen, the Democrats are again producing: that hoary-headed old plea that the Mexican business is ‘“an inheritance from Taft.” The chronology of the bloody deeds which have marred Mexican history in the past few years is sufficient re- futation of the declaration—but, even if: it were correct, it is pertinent to ‘point out that one item in the “in- heritance” as it came to Wilson from Taft was a rigid embargo on arms and ammunition. Had that bequest been preserved by the beneficiary ‘Wilson," practically all of our inter- vening troubles would have been ob- viated. By raising that embargo ‘Wilson ‘made, it possible first for: Huerta’s|gq19 by | foes to carry on.their revolutionary projects and second. for the ambi- tious bandits to carry on their wars against each other and third for Car- ranza now to find himself well sup- plied with war materials to use against us.

I got so bad“that-I thought Iwoulddie. ¢ '‘My-back was very weak and-I couldn’t bend-over without be- ing in agony. The kidney secretions ‘were scanty-and contained sediment.

Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Erwin has twice publicly recom- mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv.
