HIS EARLY TRAINING
Declares That Saloons Of the
Country are ineubators
Of Vice and Aner-
"a chism.
(Legalized Evil No. 45.)

evil must be more severely dealt with,
and not given the liberty heretofore
allowed.
The American people have abund-
ant cause to cease legalizing the IL
quor traffic, because the saloon Is the
place where the lawless congregata.
In tracing the life Of the assassin,
Czolgosz we find that he was raised
in saloon, his father having been
saloon-keeper until the murderer was
fourteen years old, and that the an
archists were in the habit OF congre-
eating in said saloon and there is
where the first seeds of anarchy were
put into the mind of the murderer Of
President Mckinley. The teachings of
Emma Goldman, who assemblies with
anarchists in saloons, fully equipped
Czolgosz for his flendish work.
anarchy is defined as defiance Of law,
and often leads to rebellion and murder.
We have no greater law-breakers than
those who congregate in the saloon.
The ingatherings of our own city patrol
wagon will bear witness that fully
three-fourths of the arrests by the po-
lice are made in and about the legalized
saloon.
we are informed that Herr Most,
The anarchists, edits his paper in the
corner of saloon, and not long ago
when arrested, a saloon-keeper went
with him, to secure bail.
1t is doubtless true that the assassin
of President Mckinley first conceived
the idea of his diabolical act in sa-
loCn, and the papers inform us that
when he went to Buffalo to commit his
horrible deed, he made his stopping
place at Polish saloon. The daily
press also informs us that as soon as it
was known that the president had been
assassinated, that the anarchists in
Paterson, N. j., assembled in saloon
and toasted the assassin with beer.
AT Detroit the anarchists also met in
a saloon, and in Chicago, as is their
custom, the anarchists met in a saloon
to rejoice over the diabolical deed COM
mitted in Buffalo.
The saloon is the cause of three
fourths of the crime of the nation, and
is the greatest factor in producing pau
pers in our country, and the American
people have just cause to hate the sa.
loon, and should, to be honest with
themselves, oppose all forms of law
that givel the liquor traffic legal ex
istence. All tax and license laws for
the liquor traffic are a protection to
the traffic, and fortify said traffic in
it's destructive work of debauching
mlltitudes Of good people.
AS promoter of lawlessness and
crime, the saloon has no equal. Not
one word can be said in its defense
II is evil, only evil, and that contin-
ually. 1t caters only to satisfy NOR
bid and vicious appetite, and to sup
port any political party in Ohio that
| ignores these undeniable facts, and
tramples upon our prohibitory state
constitution by the enactment and the
upholding Of the infamous Dow tax
law, and caters for the votes OF the
saloon-men, and has such leaders
among them as George B. Cox, the no.
torious saloon representative. / say to
support any political party that will
thus trample upon the best interests
Of the people is party slavery that
every good man should pray to be de-
liyered from.
II our government will take heed from
the wrongs and sufferings of our peo-
pie they will speedily do two things.
The first will be to Danish for life all
anarchists, or hang them; and the sec
ond will be to close up all the sa-
sold as beverage.
In doing the first would recon-
mend that when anarchists are ban
iehed for life, brand be put upon their
fcreheads that cannot be eObliterated, and
then tell them IL they are ever again
found upon the soil of the United
States they will be hung. And to carry
out the second reform. l would say let
all tax and license laws for the liquor
traffic for beverage purposes, be re-
pealed, and deal with said traffic as an
outlaw, which is just what out United
States supreme court has long since
said, that mo citizen OF any state, OF
1 citizen OF the United States, has an
Inherent right to sell intoxicating II.

Then why harbor them and keep then

1t is burning shame that 30 goot
a government as ours should continu.
to be a partner with liquor sellers ant
distillers and brewers. Today the
government gets $110 from every gal
lon Of whiskey made. while the dis
t.ller gets but Is cents for every gal
lon. Stop this thing and close up thu
distilleries. Take no further tax or II
cense fees from the retailers. Deal with
them as outlaws and this government
will soon be the happiest and mos
