speaker from the floor said:
Il do not pretend to be above fault.
l make no pretense to he teetotaller,
but do indorse the spirit of any meas
ure which has for its purpose the pro-
| lection of the wife, the child and the
home. / believe there are many labor
| ing men who are attached under our
| present laws for saloon bills. when the
money can be i'll afforded from the
| home. l do not believe in encouraging
a system of reputation even for liquor
debts. But we all know there are many
men who spend much more than they
| can afford to spend over the bar The
arrangement which permits an attach
ment to issue against a workingman
for his wages to satisfy bar bill. while
his wife and children at home are In
need of food and clothing, is unjust,
cruel and without reason or common
| sense. As the law stands at present IL
| Is hard for the saloon keeper to refuse
credit To man who asks il. for he
knows that IL his customer Is employed
| there is a chance to collect the debt
| IL man could not be attached for a
bar bill the saloon man would be more
careful i'm the giving OF credit: his
losses would be less: his cash business
greater and IL would save many poor
fellow vast sums in court costs
