ANTI-sALooN REPUBLICANS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-The National Com
mittee of Anti-SaloOn Republicans
has issued an address declaring that the
evils of the liquor traffic, as embodied In
the American saloon system, have reached
a magnitude and degree of destructive
ness that threatens the foundations o. the
government, society and the home, and
that the time has come when political
parties and private citizens must take
sides for or against the liquor traffic. The
saloon ought to be put out of existence.
The people of each state and municipali
ty ought to have opportunity whenever
desired Of deciding when and how this
shall be done, and until destroyed the sa-
loon ought to be crippled by every re-
straint and disability which local public
sentiment will enforce, and made to reim-
burse as much as possible of the public
loss 1t causes. The Republican anti-sa-
loon conference does not attempt to apply
rule uniform and arbitrary in its
details 10 60,000,000 people living
under widely varying conditions. 1t al
lows for the element of time as a factor
IN this as In every great reform and gives
scope to those educating agencies which
are everywhere at work with prodigious
energy, and which are rapidly bringing
all rlght-minded men to one conclusion.
1t Is permissible to reach a common point
- many lOdlSs uO SdlOOu has 6ul6Teu
politics with its own methods and weap-
Ons, and the Republican party must deal
with 1t. By the imperous logic of the
birth, surroundings and mission of that
party IL has been constrained to take
up and dispose OF, one after another, a
stately procession of political problems
as dlmcult as any that statesmanship
ever encountered, and each success has
prepared the people for another step. The
ueur mas struck for the next advance.
