DIVORCE
Another Instance of misleading
6ta tenant ^ found In, thq divorce
statistics ad presented by the frabrl
Mtora womklnfc, jm the intqnests of
brew erg anidi dilstrtlle.a, Thttrei Is
uo national divorce lafl'. Nw York'
is a license staite, but there & only
on? cause Dor dWvttrfce1 hi, New York.
aVo divorce is granted on account of
drunkenness la that state, und, the
apparent dftrow* rate is low. By
placing New York With! Other states
where th© causey f(Xr divorce are
very limited, thq allege^ facts of
the liquor intere*>tq seem to con
vey the impression, that prohibition
^ncieotei "the; diwilcq rate. As| a
matter ot fact a considerable pro
portion oi the oases of domestic in
felicity that reach the oourt« are
directly ^ttrtbutajble) tc» the opera
tions or the Ucemsed| and lanv pro
tec*«idi eaJqona. This is fully sub.
s'antiared by the court records
aud the Official declarations. of
judges and court officials.
Prisoners
Under this lieatd( tftet pamphlet
"Facts" ctf th«| driujc dealers pre
sent a so-called comparison of w^t,
and dry states. This is another at
tempt to deceive. ic represents
the ra»e of prtsctuerg actually in
carcerated, utterly ignoring thq par
ole sys'emis of the different states.
| It mentions ansae as having a
late Per 100,000 of 91.l and Ne
twafka only 55.1. The raite* of com
mitment to prison in the two states
name" was as follows; Nebraska,
182 per 100,000 population, Kan
sas, 19per 100,000 population.
The United States' can&us| report
shows that, Nebraska, with; nearly
500,000 less, population than Kan
sn committed 5.S8& delinquents
in 1910 while Ka)naas committed
3,594.

Bank Deposits
j If the Inferences conveyed by the
j liquor literature is corroct, gen
eral prosperity vi-ill cease ia pro
hibition states. Yat Maine, sur
rounded by liceiiteQ territory, ha
'oday 238,5S6 depositors in her
saving banks, wkW deposits 0f
197,423,OSS.63 and no legal dram
^h|o:ps. In other words, Maine,
with, r population of 42,371, has
[ one depositor ia the savings banks
[ for everj' three and a quarter per
| Sons, including men, women and
I childrta.
N°t simply the amount of de
posits, but the number of deposit
ors tell the( stor-; of general thrift
and prosjperity. Ohio ig a great
state. It hasi a papulation of 4,
767,121, over six times the DOfp.ula
tion cf Maine. On June 23, 1915,
i* had 115,241 depositors in its
saving banlcs, witty $62,603,425.88
to thtlr credit. It also had 11,
lol person^ holding: federal tax re
,cedp.t5 ds retail liquor sellers. The
i figures tell the story. Maine, with
P"- 'ibitJon; has, mo-re than twice the
I number of depositors in her svaings
banks and one-third more money in
deposits than thq great state of
Ohio with six times the Dajpulatio-n
of Maine.
