To Purify Saloons.

The headquarters of the Wisconsin An
ti-Prohibition association have been re-
moved from Mason street to $40 Wiscon-
sin street. T. F. Solon, member of the
last legislature from Dodge county, has
been appointed state organizer and he is
preparing to stir things up all along the
line.
"My plan Of campaign" he said, yes
terday. "differs materially from that which
has been pursued heretofore. My pri-
mary object will he to do what | can to
make the saloon business respectable. By
purifying the saloons, | think we can
drive out the vicious and Objectionable
elements. We propose to call attention
to the fact that the warfare made by the
Prohibitienists is ipjudicious in that it is
directed against an industry that repre-
sents millions of dollars legitimately in
vested, that gives employment to thous
ands of men and provides a market for
millions of bushels OF cereals grown by
our farmers; and the interested parties
also protest because this warfare tends to
drive out of the business the better class
OF men, whose places are filled by men of
less moral character. Wepropose to show,
further, that our ministers and priests are
making a serious mistake While we re-
spect them for their endeavors. to weed
out drunkenness and disorder, we believe
they do not go about it in the right way.
Their attacks on the saloonkeepers, as al
SO those of the Prehibitionistsa and women,
are uncalled for, as by making the busi-

We will try to answer the question ask
ed us by our brother correspondent at

my calves as an example, but most of the

ing good luck with their calves, aud are,
as far as they know, as good as when the
milk is skum from cream cans; but in re-
gard to the factory putting anything in

know is not true.

Chow about license? ?"
"We believe the exaction OF moderate
license fee is proper but protest against
an exborbitant one on the ground that
the principle of Capitalization and mono
poly is wrong. We maintain that moral
character not wealth, should be the basis
for granting licenses. Weshall endeavor
to encourage back into the business men
of good character whom the fanaticism OF
