Cold Facts,
n more liquor Is sold under prohi
bition than under license the liquor
dmdIb are doing something they have
been known to do. They are
lighting a measure that helps their
toBinesa. For the. benefit of the Home
Rule Association and those . simple
ones whom they will deceive, It ought
to be Bald that a safe rule to follow
U to do the opposite of what you find
tte liquor people are doing. And when
your words give comfort 'and cheer to
tie liquor people you can be pretty
certain that you are wrong. No, they
never work to curtail their business.
Their plans are outlined at a meeting
of the Ohio Liquor Dealers' associa
tion by one of the speakers as fol
lows: "Gentlemen:.' The success of
our business is dependent largely up
on the creation of appetite for drink.
The open field for the creation of this
appetite is among the boys. After
men are grown and their habits are
formed they rarely If ever change in
this regard. It will be needful, there
fore that, missionary work be done
among the boys, and I make sugges
tion, gentlemen, that nickels expend
ed in treats to the boys now will re
turn in dollara to your tills after the
aDDetites have been formed. Above
all things, create appetite."
Most men onnoae Drohlbltlon for
one or the other of these five reasons:
Money, appetite, politics, Ignorance,
or nure wickedness.. If the common
eood were consulted every man would
vote to close the saloons. There is
onlkone side to this question.. The
testimony comes from every quarter.
Men who have seen prohibition tried
testify to the wholesome results, They
agree, and the statistics connrm
them, that Gov. Stubbs of Kansas Is
riKht when he says "I am prepared to
prove beyond question of a doubt thai
the prohibition law is beneficial in
this state from a financial, business,
and moral point of view." I gave the
statistics as they were given by Sec
retary Coburn of Kansas.' But I.sup
pose because he refused the office of
United States Senator when offered
him that he cannot be trusted to give
these statistics correctly! What log
in tha defenders of 'saloons use! Even

the Oregoniau says that "Kansas is
an excellent example" of where "it
has been found easy to extirpate the
liquor traffic." Lesser advocates'
ought to take notice. A man who will
refer to Maine or Kansas to show that
prohibition is a failure Is incorrigibly
blind to the facts. There is no hope
for him.
Men who are In the midst of the
fight to better their condition of their
fellowmen realize the situation. John;
Mitchell said, "I am not at all im
pressed with the argument that if you
close down the liquor traffic you bring
about a calamity. When you shut
down a distillery, a factory takes Its
place; and when you close up a sa
loon, a grocery store , Is put m.
Gompers, Lennon, Lewis, Simpson, all
hold that the saloon Is the worst en
emy the trades union movement has

"I am in hearty sympathy with the
present movement for no-license, be
cause I believe It is calculated to les
sen the evils of intemperance among
. nPAnlft." Rlshon Monaghan, of
WUt -
Wilmington:
"The Drlnciple of prohibition seems
1 . . , aaiqIti rum a
to me me oniy aaio vwin
edy for the evils of Intemperance.
This opinion has been strengthened
hv the hard labor of more than twenty
years in the temperance cause." Fa
ther Mathew.
"Where saloons are" licensed, how
many live up to the law. Not one.
Vested rights!' Has the community
no rights? There is no reason for
the existence of saloons. Blot 'them
all out, and what harm?" Bishop
Conaty. ;
"Suppression of the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic beverages is the
only adequate remedy. Temperance
societies attract comparatively few,
and are efficient only as long as their
members are stimulated to a sort of
moral' intoxication. High license di
minishes the number of saloons, but
hot the quantity of liquor drunk, nor
the amount of drunkenness.. An
then, too, license Is, in a way, to ap
prove; and a wise ana a goou uiu
cannot approve the liquor traffic.
Whatever restrictions may be thrown
around its management the American
Baloon is and must continue to be, so
long as it shall be tolerated, a nui
sance. Its influence upon individual,
domestic and national life is wholly
evil. As to the right of the Bute to
prohibit, there can be no question,
since the right to suppress crime in
volves the right to suppress its chief
cause." Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria,
