Last year we drank 30,000,000 more gallons of spirits than the year be- we washed down 3,000,000 more barrels of fermented liquor smoked 160,000,000 more cigars and whiffed away a whole billion more coffin nails. According fore, to these figures pro- -hibition does not prohibit at all, for in the same year, we are gleefully assured by all temperance organs, prohibition in its various forms, made the most wonderful through out the country. If we keep right on increasing our | consumption of liquor and tobacco just as fast as we increase our pro- hibition, what good does prohibition do,? Students of the liquor problem are all coming more and more to the con- clusion that prohibition by legis- lation, that is political prohibition has methods consumption, but does not help in promoting temperence. In fact, many clase observers of the liquor question de clare hat political prohibitioi actually increases the amount of liquor consumed. The real work that has been complished toward temperance form has come solely through tem- perance, not political, agitation.

D., with $1,122, and 14 in the office at Wah- peton, N. D§ with only $374. After much, discussion of the subject as to whether it wquid be advisable to make public the details of the postal savings bank business in the various General Hitchcock today decided to give out the facts and to make a summarization of the aggregate busi {-ness of the various offices in the } country. | “Tt is an‘open question, if one may | judge from the first figures given jout, whether the postmaster gener- al's figures, namely, that the banks {may at sometime im the future con- tain $200,000,000, constitutes an ac- }eurate prediction of the probable re- | sults. The most impressive facts in ‘connection with the organizations of {the postal system up to this time are disclosed only from an analysis | of the results and the figures pre- \sented for the postal banks in the | different states.

The Phoenix, Ariz., Republican gays “In the rush of news matter de; manding attention on Tuesday night only a meager mention was made of the appointment by Governor Sloan of John C. Greenway of Bisbee to the office of regent of the territori- al university. This first opportunity is seized to say more about it for the two relations that the office is one of grat importance even though not weighed down with financial emoh- ments, and that Mr. Greenway is 4 gentleman who fully measures up to its demands. “Mr. Greenway is a very suitable person for such a place in the activ- ities of a budding commonweakh. That is he is not unfamiliar with the needs of such an institution as the territorial university may be readily anderstood when it is known that he is a graduate of Yale, which is fan institution of the highest rank. Nor is he merely a college man, but he has devoted himself to a life of aseful activities being now a well known and competent mining engineer as well as one of the leading figures im the industrial world of southern Arizona. He hag charge of the Ari- zona interesta of the Catumet & Arizona Mining company which are second in magnitude probably to those of no other business concern in south ern Arizona, except Phelps,.Doge & Palmer. Mr. Greenway succeeded Col. Powell in this work. i “One reason for Mr. Greenway's) appointment was that the governor desired that the new member should | represent the mining industry on the } jboard, other lines of business being | welk represented aiready, and the in- | dustry having always been so friendly to the university.” E.
