CONSIDERABLE criticism is being Of
fered by certain members of the legis-
lature on the utterances of Bishop
Messmer on the purposed reduction of
saloon license. The Bishop has GER
tainly as good right as any member
of the Legislature to have opinions on
this subject. and he is far better able
to give them proper expression than
the statesmen who seem to think
the little brief authority by which they
are invested makes them superior to
other people. It is to be hoped that
the Bishop Will continue to speak out
against the proposed reduction Of sa-
loon license.
The city of Manitowoc has SO sa-
looms That means a certain amount
Of capital kept away from legitimate
enterprises. The saloons, unlike brew
cries or dIstilleries, furnish no EN-
ployment to labor. They withdraw
their proprietors from productive in
dustries They exist at the cost of
the general public without any com
pensating good The high license has
reduced their number materially,
where high license prevails. Cato is
notable example of this fact With
license of $500 that town got rid of
majority of its saloons and as re-
suit the town has grown in prosperity
High license is much more effective
than prohibition as it can be enforced
The present license law is proving
satisfactory and should be left I'M
touched.
