An assistant district attorney of
Chicaxo says: "In nine cases out
of ten rioting and murder are a re-
salt of the cheap liquor sold ln the
saloons after hoars and Sunday."
And testimony might be multiplied
to fill columns and pages showing
that the saloon Is as whole an evil,
and that the saloons that defy the
laws and are permlted by the aui
thorities to do so are especially
daageroas and Injurious, and the
cause and in a sense the accomplices
of crimes Innumerable.
We have made a good deal of
progress la this country . Is this

This seems contradictory of the
preceding pessimism. If there is to
be such a great increase of business,
the resources of the country are not
fo badly exhausted, after all. But
what Mr. Hill insists on ln this con
nectlon Is that "the railroads must
be allowed to run their business as
any other business is run." He
truly enough urgop that since the
railroads purchase 26 per cent of
everything that is sold and employ
a large proportion ef the working
male population, it la evident that
"all prosperity, from the ground up,
Is knit insolubly with the prosperity
and proper malntenane and up

jects to any interference with them,
and says people will not invest their
money "in a business that fa nailed

cure for depressing conditions, he

This is itr. Hill s side, the great
railroad mart's side, of a great ques
tion. The other side, la a word, is:
