Saloon Keepers Not Alone Responsible
In his recent speech Congress against H.
censing saloons in Alaska, hon. Albert
NJ. Todd, OF Michigan, spoke some true
words regarding the responsibility tor
saloons, which are well worth repeating.
He said
II desire at the outset 10 say that
shalllindulge in no bitter denunciation of
those who are engaged in the legalzed
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
drinks If this traffic is, as | believe it to
be. the most fruitful of all sources Of
crime, paupensm, and death. moral and
physical, the responsibility for its eXis-
tence, the same as for other evils, must he
equally shared by those whose aid and
abet il directly OF indirectly by legislation
or otherwise; by those whose conscience
conden it, yet have not the courage Of
their convictions; and more than all others
by those who would barter both their con-
science and judgement, the welfare of
humanity, and the souls Of men, that
revenue might lie wrung from the i'm
poyerishe,', and thus their own taxes
seemingly be lessenel."
Here sie three classes, then, that must
share the guilt with the saloon keeper:
Fns,-The legislature who makes laws
legalizing Il e traffic.
Seeend-The towards who have not the
moral courage TO oppose saloons; and,
Third-Those, voters who vote for Ii
cense In order that they may reduce their
own taxes by robbing the families of
drinking men. These last are among the
lowest and meanest Of human species
