see. When Bob Poland and Coon Parker were
drinking in Hefin, Ala, last Saturday night,
and in their spree car of the Southern
railroad off the switch and out on the main
track down the grade, till it stopped on high
treste, it became the Southern railroads bust

A Dead Weight on the Community.

Every saloon keeper, brewer and liquor
dealer, and every man employed by them, is
dead weight which must be carried by the work
ing part of the community. Not one of these
by his labor in the liquor business adds anything
of strength of real value to the community,
but each gets his living out of the community,
besides helping to impose upon the community
additional burdens for the care of the criminals
paupers, and diseased workers produced by the
liquor business. Down with such a wasteful
burdensome traffic!

One Clean Day.

The law in Illinois requires that saloons be
closed on election day from 500 a. m. to 400 D.
m, and it was rigidly enforced in Chicago.
Speaking of the result, the Chicago Journal,
which is far from being a prohibition paper,
says: 1.-The vote of November 3rd, was by far
the largest in the citys history, and the election
was as decorous as a Presbyterian meeting.
The day was an object lesson in civilization,
showing that with the baleful influence of the
saloon banished there is not an appreciate frac-
ton of this vast population that is disposed to
turbulence and disorder" Why, then, do not
the people rise in their majesty and sweep out
of existence that monster, the saloon, which is
the cause of all turbulence and disorder?'' In
that way Chicago can effectualIy rid herself of

There are many apologists for the saloon

utterly unworthy of the name of charity, that
seeks to throw a mantle of charity over him or
his business. He is no child and no fool He
knows that nine-tenths of the crime of the coun-
try may be traced to drink. He knows that the
lowest classes of society gather round and con-
gregate in the saloon.-Rev. J. F. Stout St.
