Air. II. T. Doiiiiinm, LiNCdLN,
Dkah Bui: I tnko pleasure In nnswerlng
yours of tho tWth Inst. I will try to nnswer
It candidly. As n render of tho Mull you nro
aware that I am not a prohibitionist. I lie
Hove that the moral education of our children
lielongsto tho homo, church und fchnol; not
to a police Mwer of tlm state, but no matter
for Hint. What you want to know Is, hns
prohibition Injured Des Moines lu nbusliusH
wny or retarded Its growth I
Temporarily, prohibition did hurt Des
Moines lu a business way. TemiKirnrlly, pro
hibition will hurt Lincoln or any other largo
town thnt is, ns I look at tho matter. Ill
this city It closed at ono full sweep eighty sa
loons. Tho rooms occupied by them Mere
vncntcd. It also shut down thrw or four
breweries. Tho people hitherto employed lu
tho saloons and breweries worn thrown out of
woik. Any ileiMirture like this would tempo
riuily nlVo.'t u town, but If tho town bo of
the light kind, ns Dos Moines Is, It will re
cover within a rensounblo time,
Tho chief hurt to Des Molnos, however,
was not lu thouctunl throwing of people out
of employment and In the emptying of busi
ness rooms, but In tho political bickerings
thnt the going Into circct of the now law
cniisisl. If wo had one and nil accepted tho
situation, wo would hnvo so soon recovered
from tho III elTects thnt thoy would hardly
have liccu noticed. Hut we talked and talked
and talked thai is, u good many of our loss
philosophic people talked and talked, und
thus Des Alolncs actually was hurt. To help
on lu the hurting iilipiecedentcdly shoit
crops for two or threo years enmo on simul
taneously with prohibition, and prohibition
had to hour the event of nil complainings.
Prohibition bus not uud will not hurt Des
Aloluos iH'imnueutly. Those who Ktenuously
advocated It are lccom!ug inoru churllablo
niul Insist with Its opK)iiouts om rebuking tho
indecent abuse of tho law by irrespouslblo
constables. Those who iu-o for tho law are
liecomiiig reconciled to what for tho time be
ing Is Inevitable, am' ,'ou never In your life
saw ii harmonious pulling together of a town
than Is going on in Des Moines, this spring
nnd unless I nm greatly mistaken you'll hear
of a hum of progress here this summer thnt
will startle oven your enterprising Liucoln
ites. You won't hear of nuii-piohibltlou, but
"f growth nnd general prosperity.
I confess tlmt for two or three years wo
havo been short on "liooins," as compared
with Kansas City, Omaha and Minneapolis,
hut ns compared with any town you mny
limine thnt mny Justly Imi compared with
Dos Moines, we're fully abreast or way ahead.
Ourgrowthhns lieen more substantial than
rapid. Wo have been tilling in with tho pro
ductive enterprises. Wo Inst year put under
wny, for Instance, our second starch fnctory,
witli n capacity of 1,200 bushel of corn per
dny niul nil op'iortuulty for tho employment
of nenrly 200 people. Wo nlso put under wny
nn lmmentu cnrrlngo works thnt hns siucj
doubled its capacity and that expects to
double it again within a year. This spring
wo nro building a sowing machine factory
tlmt will employ 125 people; a cotton mill
that will employ nearly 200; a canning fac
tory that will begin by employing 100, and a
pressed brick works that will employ forty
or fifty. And then wo aro rebuilding tho
very largo packing house that was burned
Inst Thanksgiving day.
With this work wo hnvo In cur city nearly
a hundred capitalists from Kansas City, Ht.
Paul nnd Minneapolis and nenrly ns any
more from other directions, looking foi in
vestments. I'm glnd your Inquiry emtio just now. Des
Mollies hns hnd hud tho experience thnt Liu
coin will doubtless hnvo if prohibitum Is In
augurated. Your expel lento will bo greater
or lesser according as y, ur imrtisuushlp runs
high or low. lu duo time you'll nil unite in
forgetting prejudices uud in waking up to tho
truth that tho sale of prohibition ot cursed
whisky is not tho vital fnctor in either tho
building or killing of a town. It mny Iki
undo to play a part in that Hue but not inn
tcrially.
As stated ut tho outset, I'm no prohibition
1st. I worked hard last fall for tho success of
tho Independent or nutl-prohtbltloii republt
can candidate for tho legislature, uud rejoiced
in tho election of ono of them, but not because
our town hnd been kllld. Don't worry about
Lincoln onniiysucli score. If you wero In
Uiiitihu tt might lie dllreront Sincerely,
John E Claiikv.
