MADE ADDRESSES AT THE MASS TEMPERANCE MEETING SUNDAY NIGHT—BIG CROWD

OUT TO HEAR THEM

was attended by a large crowd of people. Vard Finnell presided, and temperance songs were sung.

There was another rousing temperance meeting held Sunday night at the Bradley M. E. church which saves the child but goes to prison.

The speakers were Mayor Batchelor, of Marion, Ind.. and Mr. Haswell, one of the leading manufacturers of the same place. Mr. Haswell was the first speaker. He spoke on the advantages of a "dry" town from a business standpoint. He said he was interested as an active partner in three of the manufacturing industries of Marion. In all these companies employ eight hundred men. He said I hat. when the city was first voted "dry" they fronds at Indianapoli were afraid it might work against their business interests, but instead of doing this it has worked wonders in improving business conditions. The men are better paid they do more efficient work by 20 per cent, and they provide for their families much better. Not a manufacturer, except the bottle man, wants the town "wet"' again. The brewery warehouse is now used as a milk depot. Several days ago Mr. Haswell made the rounds of the leading business houses of Marion to inquire as to their estimate of the business since the town went"dry," and all except one said business had been much better than when the town was wet. Mr. Has-I well is very enthusiastic concerning' the business outlook in Marion and all kinds of business is flourishing, and there are no desirable vacant business rooms in the city.

Mr. Batchelor spoke on law^ enforcement in a "dry" city. He said that the old scare-crow argument put, up by the "wets" that there was more fiquor sold in "dry" than in "wet" territory was absolutely false. The Marion brew?ery had -to go out of business when the town went "dry." Mr. Batchelor showed how' he had enforced the law7 impartially against all kinds of illicit sellers until law violations are practically unknown in the city and a large number of the cases of drunkenness that have come* before his court have been brought by the sheriff from Gas City, a "wet" town. The sheriff brings them before Mayor Batchelor because he knows that the mayor will give them the limit of what the law prescribes. Marion is now a well regulated city, and drunks are seldom seen on the streets. By a series of tables, he showed that the taxes had been 18 cents lower during the "dry" re- if
