How Prohibition Works 1b Durham.
Frequent published references to
the temperance situation in Dur
ham have appeared, stating the
worst facts, half truths, exaggera
tions atid some things that are
altogether uutrue, implying there
by that there is more drunkenness
and crime iu oui; town now under
the prohibitory laws and the whole
state of things worse than it was
wheu he had bar-rooms. Thsse
misrepresentations have been re
published by other papers in this
and other states, aud used against
the cause ot temperance in cam
paigns elsewhere, thus injuring the
cause of temperance and doing an
injustice to the good people of
Durham. In view of this, on last
Monday, at a regular meeting of
the Ministers' Association which is
composed of the pastors of Dur
ham of all denominations, a com
mittee of three was appointed to
examine the court records ot Dur
ham carefully to secure aud pub
lish the facts accurately as they
are. Wc feel that a just and fair
comparisou of the situation under
the old administration wheu we
had bar-rooms and that of the new
under which we have prohibition
can be made by showing the num
ber of arrests made during a given
period in each for all causes, and
how many of those were for drunk
enness, as tollows:
During the year 1903, the last
year in which bar-rooms were al
lowed to exist in our town, there
were, according to the report of
the chief of police, 1,635 arrests
for all causes, and 674 of them for
drunkenness. During the year
1904, the first year under prohibi
tion, there were 1,010 arrests for
all causes, and 200 of them for
drunkenness. That is, under pro
hibition in Durham, crimes of all
kind were reduced from 1,635 to
1,010 for the first year, arrests for
druukeunes were reduced from 674
to 200 for the same time. Or to
put it in another way, there were
ouly 72 crimes of all kinds uuder
prohibition to 100 wheu barrooms
were open aud ouly 29 arrests for
drunkenness under prohibition to
100 when we had bar-rooms.
When bar-rooms existed drunk
enness constituted 41 per cent ot
all the arrests. Under prohibitory
laws drunkenness constituted ouly
19 4-5 per cent of all arrests.
This is a comparative statement
of one year only uuder ad
ministration.
Taking the whole period of pro
hibition in Durham, three years
(lacking two mouths, and by add
ing the figures of the corresj>ond
iug two months of last year we
have three full years), the average
number of crimes per year, accord
ing to the report of the chief of
police, were 1,276 and the average
drunks per year were 285, while
for the year ending May 1903,
wheu there were about twenty bar
rooms in Durham, the numlter of
arrests for all canses, according to
the annual report of the chief of
police, was 2,031 a »d for
ness 817. Thus it will be seen
that crimes of all kinds have been
diminished by prohibition to nbout
one-half, and drunkenness has
been reduced more than two-thirds.
These are the findings of the
commitee, notwithstanding the
large increase in otir population
during the last four years. The
moral tone of our city, under pro
hibition has been higher in pro
portion to this decrese in crime and
the enlargement and prosperity ol
business has been-even greater in
comparison—our town is prosper
ous and growing rich and our peo
ple are morally elevated and happy
except those who are addicted to
drink and their so-called friends
who desire to live at the expense
of the victims of the alcohol.
These figures from the police rec
ord furnish a striking proof ot the
wodderful success of prohibition
as compared with the bar-room
regime, and at the same lime show
how unfounded ate the reports
circulated by the ene mines of pro
hibition to its discredit. We fully
recognize that the law is not en
forced as it should be, and as the
citizens of onr town have a right
to expect. One of the weaker
points in the .enforcement of the
law has been the light penalties
imposed npon violators. We ap
peal to our people to use their per
sonal influence aud to see to as
citizens that those to whom we
have entrusted the enforcement of
the law, and who are under oath
to do it, shall do their duty.

Record Breaking Receipts.
There was a record broken iu the
Postoffice Department last week.
The Postmaster General turned in
to the Treasury $22,359,120 the
largest amount for one quarter in
the history of the office. This was
not so remarkable for the Depart
ment is growiug all the time aud
the receipts naturally increase-
But the amount exceeded the ex
penditures by $1,800,815. This is
a record sure enough. It indicates
a good business administration and
as a financial index to the prosper
ity of the country it is decidedly
encouraging. Now that tile "Post
office is making an effort to get 011
even a better business footing,
morefully weighing the mails and
adjusting railway payments to cor
respond, there seems a prospect of
its becoming actually a self sup
porting department' This will lie
cheerful euough news to the gen
eral public, but it has a rather om
inous ring for the express com
panies, telegraph and telephone
companies and others of the great
public utilities now run at immense
profit by private corporations and
whose constant claim has been in
the past that the goverment could
never do suclv work as they are do
ing cheaply and at-a profit. Post
al service is about the cheapest
great service the-public enjoys,
and no one can say that it is not
about the best also It is never
theless inferior to the Postal Ser
vices of England, Germany aud
France, for it permits a lot of
rapacious express_.companies to
skim the cieam of the service and
skin the people of the United
States.
