Legalized saloons. There's no such
thing under the Constitution. Anarchy
means against law-and saloons are
against law.
Revenue? oh. yes; the revenues we
get from the saloons, the authorities
say. There isn't saloon keeper pays

smoky place.
Look at Jael, She drove nail into

but God said she had done right. Look
at Esther. too God uses woman. He
used her TO bring a Savior into the
world.

man, and I've used beer, but I've seen
the devil In it. Liquor places are Grim
inal factories. Bring business? Yes, to
lawyers. and courts and jail builders
and doctors.
Alcohol Is a good thing to kill the
living and pickle the dead ones In.
The government is sold out to the
liquor traffic. Money-anything for
money. The men who have sorrow,
and woe and trouble are the men who
can't say no to the liquor tempter.
Young man, turn your back on liquor.

Yes, hand it up here: bring 1t to me,

wait so much, but get up and go out
and smash; Smash. smash (waving her
