The Echo Pauses for a Reply.

The Echo asks some very peril
nent questions of the Philadelphia
Press, which is just now posing, as
an anti-Saloon advocate. We re-
peat them and ask every woman
to lodge them in her mind, and pro-
pound them during the coming
Campaign, to every license advo-
cate. Here they are:
HIGH LICENSE AND TEMPERANCE.
Our excellent contemporary, the
Philadelphia Press, is rejoicing a
good deal over the action of the
license court of Philadelphia
in refusing a good many of the ap-
plications for license to sell
whisky and beer in that city. 1t
seems to take it for granted that
the lessening of the number of sa-
looms and making those that are
permitted to sell pay higher Ii
cense is long step in the direc-
ton of temperance. We would like
to have few questions answered
before we accept its position as
sound one. Will any less liquor be
sold with the present number of
saloons than was sold last year ?
Are not the saloons now so near
together and SO well equipped as to
be capable of offering all in the way
of temptation to drinkers that the
greater number offered last year ?
Are there not now enough saloons
to supply all the demand for drink?
viii the men who pay $500 for a
license be any less active in their
efforts to induce men to frequent
their premises and to drink, than
those who paid only half as much
or even less? If the closing Of
more than half of the saloons is a
public benefit why would it not be
a still greater benefit to close the
other half? What the true tenn
perance man is after is the lessen
ing of the sale and consumption of
liquor, the real evil of intemper-
ance. In what possible way can
high license, licensing as many
saloons as will be needed to furnish
abundant opportunity for all who
want drink to procure it, and album
dant tenn ptation for all who are cap
able of being tempted ; in what pos
sible way car high license be &C
counted a temperance measure?
We pause for reply.-Echo.
