nothing to show for their money. The money paid
for furniture will employ IL instead of and the
purchaser has something to show for his cash.
Here's family that spends ten dollars a year on
shoes. They don't spend more, because the head of
the family is trying to support saloon well
his home. Shut up the saloons, and that family will
buy twenty-five dollars worth of shoes every year.
That means fifteen dollars for the shoes for
family Multiply that by three millions (the number
of drunkards in the land), and it would make forty
five million dollars worth of shoes to be sold. The
retail shoe merchants would have to increase their
orders the wholesale houses; the wholesale dealer
would have to increase his orders on the manufac-
turer Of Shoes the manufacturer would have to in
his orders the leather Dealers the leather
dealer would have to order more COW skins and calf
skins from the farmers the railroads would have to
put on more cars to carry the goods and all along
the line there would be calls for to do the
work. The same sort of thing would happen along
other lines of business, and two million men, now
out of employment would find it, and wages would
go up, because there would be more calls for men

"The weakest thing about the church of today is
it's lack of presenting a united front against the
social and political evils of times. We do not
believe we can do anything to rghten existing
wrongs and so we sit down, fold our hands and do
nothing. What is needed is unifcation of our forces
at the ballot box, and complete withdrawal from all
political parties whose policy is to license sane
ton the internal traffic in liquors in any way The
Epworth League aided and encouraged by all other
