IB Aimisemeints OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING STATE WIDE PROHIO . t r The very Important Issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of a constitutional amendment will be Bhortly Instituted, This,' like all other important ques tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons. : The Republican has decided to pro vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in its pages,' allowing to each side at least a half column dally for signed articles, for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published. It is only stipulated that the com munications for and against prohibi tion be Just and fair and that In no case shall there be any wild and ex travagant "statement that will In any way reflect uDon the reputation of Phoenix for good order. It is suggested by The Republican that either side, desiring to avail it self of this offer of space, name a committee through which all matter relating to the Issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines. No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted. SOUND LOGIC? , In an article in one of our state daily papers, dated Phoenix, Aug. 18, under" the heading "European War May Af fect the State Election," the following paragraph appears. "Suspension of copper producing all , over the state will greatly reduce the public revenues and will necessitate the retention for a time at least, of the revenues derived from the liquor busi ness." This may be sound logicf but if it is, I fail to grasp it. I ' always supposed that the liquor consumed in Arizona was an imported article brought in free of any state tax. I as Justice of the peace in one of the largest mining towns in the state, and later, as clerk of the court in one of the largest copper producing districts of the state, always thought that in those camps where the most copper was produced, the most liquor was con sumed, and I have noticed that where the' most liquor was consumed, that crime Increased at the same ratio: and in no case, and under no conditions. have I ever known the revenue received by a county from the liquor business to be sufficient to defray the expense of taking care of the crop of criminals. insane and indigents that were pro duced by the liquor business. , If the liquor, business is a revenue producer, let us have more of it: we cannot have too much of a good thing. There are many people who have an appetite for other drugs, for instance. cocaine and morphine, why not place a license on establishments selling these drugs? No doubt the city of Phoenix could collect a license of about 1,000.00 each per annum, on say, five such establishments, making a total revenue of $5,000.00 per annum. Of course those who used the drug would eventually go insane and com mit a few murders, tind many lesser crimes, but those who patronize the booze Joints too frequently do the same thing, so there is as much excuse for one as the other; it is revenue we are after, and all we have to do to be pros perous, in case our crops fail, either agricultural or mineral, is to open a few more saloons and drug joints and we shall all become prosperous. From my personal experience and observation, which includes five years in the army; two years as steward of the asylum for the insane, one year as Justice of the peace and eight years as clerk of the district court, I can truthfully say that fifty per cent of the insane; ninety per cent of our crim- nals; ninety per cent of our indigents and, at least eighty per cent of our divorce cases, are the direct or indirect result of the excessive use of alcoholic liquors. If this crop will offset the re duction of the output of copper, I would like to be shown how. I do not possess the prejudice against the average saloon weeper that some I LION THEATER "THE PERILS OF PAULINE," "A GAMBLING RUBE," Keystone comedy. Six reels today.

I have known many saloon keepers and liquor dealers who were exemplary citizens in every respect, outside of their business. Many of them do not drink and will not employ a bartender who does, and I have just as muctt re spect for them, as I have for the model citizen who patronizes them and thus makes the business possible and prof itable. I believe the average saloon' keeper is capable of making a good liv ing in some other line of business, and if the saloons are abolished these men will thank the good citizens who made it necessary for them to take up a new line of business. I, for one am going to do all in my power to assist in eliminating the sa loon in Arizona, regardless of the out put of copper or pink beans. Sincerely yours, GEO. B.

In preparation: "SEP TEMBER MORN" By Geo. B. Wilcox -Although J. I B. Alexander, late United States attorney for Arizona, Is a pioneer of this state and one of the well known attorneys of the state I presume that owing to the fact that a great many of. our voters have moved into this state during the past five years, and the further fact that about one-third of our voters at this time are women, only a fraction of these voters are familiar with the official record of the progressive candidate for one of the most important offices In the state that of the attorney general. During the four years that Mr. Alex ander held the office of United States attorney, the writer was clerk of the court of the second district of Arizona, where the most important cases for the government were tired. Among the impotant cases prose cuted by Capt Alexander, were those of J. Flores Magon et al. Mexican rev olutionists, and the Eddleman & Nolan Bank wreckers of Bisbee. ,In these cases, as In most cases tried in the United States courts Mr. Alexander found himself pitted against the finest legal talent to be had, and, as I re member, some of these trials lasted a whole week; the evidence was volum inous, and technicalities sprang up con tinually; every inch of ground was contested, but in every case tried be fore our court, he won. I often heard other lawyers com ment on the wonderful success on the part of Capt. Alexander, and it was the universal conclusion of all that his suc cess w-as due first, to his knowledge of the law; second, to the fact that he never prosecuted on frivolous charges, with flimsy evidence; and lastly, that he always came into the court room with his evidence in proper shape, and introduced it in a methodical manner. In his review of the evidence before a jury, when presenting his side of the case, he seemed to drive It home as with a hammer; and, in attacking the case of the defense, he reminded one of a woodchopper attacking a tree; the chips flew right and left, and when he had finished the case, the defense lay hewn to pieces at his feet At the finish of one of these import ant cases for the government, I heard an assistant to the attorney general of the United states say, that he had been trying cases for the government for over fifty years, and during that time had worked in many of the courts. iirom one ena or tne united states to J (the other, but in all of his experience If you want to get a Republican War Map, one that is actually a useful map from which you can get authentic information, you had bet ter get in your order for it pretty quick.
