foremost agent against Church and

Out by many by-ways go the grad-
uites of the saloon. In the gutters
they wallow; in low 'dens and broth
els they lead living deaths; In
gloomy prison oella they pine; in
mad men's cages they rage; on grim
ecaf fold's they pay the price of
blood; enly God omnipotence can
snatch them from the one ending of
the road they have taken.
The American saloon is no re
specter of nationalities, and as the
people of each nationality and their
descendants become Americanized
they will find the American saloon
their worst enemy, if they prove
friends of it
We see in our land that as the
saloon flourishes drunkeness in
creases. As drunkenness Increases,
so do licentiousness and poverty, till
we mlsht say in the words of the
poet, slightly changed:
"111 fares 'he land, to hastening
ills a prey
Where taloons accumulate and
men decay."
U there such a thing as a model
saloon? Yea.rs ago, near where I
live In Chicngo. there was a man
who took c omiuisston upon the poor
wcrkingmen he saw going into a
loons, leaving their money and go
ing home drunk to their families. He
decided to start a model saloon, h'j
that the poor workingmen could net
their drink and go home sober to
their families. He had property and
money to spare, and he started his
model saloon. He would not sell li
quor to any man who ever got drunk,
would allow no minors in his saloon,
and would allow no cursing or ob
scene language In his place. He
would sell only two drinks to any
onJ he closed the saloon at ten
o'clock at night and did not open it
at all on Sunday. He kept a model
saloon, but he lost money until he
was forced to give It up. Some
time ago the papers gave an ac
count of a man starting a model sa
loon in Detroit. He was going to el
evate the whole saloon business of
thfl United States, but three months
later there was an Item In the pa
pers telling how the sheriff had tak
en possession of the model saloon,
the model salcon ketper having be
come bankrupt It is a peculiar
characteristic of the saloon that
thote who patronize it prefer the
fre-and-casy saloon, and the man
who tries to conduct a respectable
place is driven out or business by
the man who has no scruple about
the business. There are few Inde
pendent saloon-keepers today, as sa
loons are more and more becoming
monopolized by the trusts, and the
agent who brings to the trust the
greatest profits, no matter how ob
tatotd Is the kind of a man they
illlt
We hear the liquor element crying
out, "We want our personal liber
ty." For what does the liquor traf
fic want personal liberty? It kills
XO.OOu people in our country every
year; that means 6.t00,000 people in
a man's lifetime of seventy years;
and it wants personal liberty to con
jtinue the slaughter The liquor trut
flc produces 76 per cent of our crim
inals, 80 per cent of our pauperism,
and 50 per cent of our insauity; und
It wants personal liberty to c in mo
to do ao. It tnkns $1 .2(n,imiii, 3 f
the people's money every yea". I :kI
It wants personal liberty to k i on
taking It. Personal liberty should
end where It becomes a menm to
the community; and the liquor traf
fic long ami became a inennc- to the
coinmui- v and It should have no
further ersontil liberty to i! 'stroy
the people. I believe that (od
guides the minds a:id hearts of the
American people and brings them
safely lirough every rials. I be
lieve that the Idea of this great
moral revolution now spreading over
the land was Instilled Into the minds
and hearts of the people by Almighty
Hod, that our nation might not be
destroyed by the liquor traffic The
liquor truffle is changing this "land
f the free and home of the brave
i ii i The land of the spree and home
of the knave" believe that if
this nation lives the saloon must
die. We are not called upon today
to shoulder a gun and go forth to
war to suffer the terrible privations
of a soldier's life; to. perhaps, bleed
or die that our country may be vic
torious. All that we are called upon
to do Is to go to the polls and cast
u il . AJ
a ballot tnat win save our aaucm.
Every man who loves his country
should oast the vote that will crush
the saloon, the worst enemy of A-
rmerica.
Where does the saloon win? Go
to the part of the city where Christ
ianity la weak, morality low and
where there are poor specimens of
manhood and womanhood, and there
we find the saloon winning, and the
more degraded the people, the great
er the majority the isaloon rolls up.
Go where Christianity is strong,
where morality prevails, where there
is manhood and womanhood, and
there we find the saloon going down
in defeat. It is a grand tribute to
a people when they vote out sa
loons,' and the greater the majority
against saloons the greater the tri
bute fco the people.
To license the liquor traffic means
to surrender to an evil. No-llcense
means war against an evil. Good
and brave men will not surrender to
an evil.
