What the Saloon Is.

Some reformers 90 out of their way to
pay special compliments to the saloon as
an American institution. They tell us the
saloon is the poor mans club, his haven OF
rest after days laborious toll.
Why not continue the eulogy and recon-.
mend the saloon as the poor mans bank,
Why not call it the toiler's refuge in sick
ness? Why not style the saloonkeeper the
workingman's good samaritan in atfiiction,
his supporter and friend in misfortune and
poverty? I have no patience with people
who 90 out of their way to excuse the exist
ence Of the lawless and poyerty-breeding
saloon, and who are always seeking an op-.
portunity to pat the saloonkeeper on the
back for his many noble acts of charity and
benevolence.
We know all that the saloon is, i we
want to tell the truth. 1t is the highway
robber of the poor and helpless; it il the
wrecker and destroyer of thousands OF,
happy, comfortable homes; it Is the de-
baucher of the young and innocent, through
its wine rooms and other pest-breeding an
nexes: it is, in fine, the vicious and CON.
taminating influence that produces most OF
our political rottenness.
We have permitted this vile reptile to-
entwine itself about our municipal, State
and Federal politics until it has crushed;
out all decency and honesty, and left US
nothing but the shell OF our boasted lib
erty.--The Rev. James l. Coffey, st. Louis.

Impoverishes tbs ware.worker.

It is estimated that ofevery $40 spent for
Intoxicating liquors only thirty-five cents
goes into the pocket Of the wage worker
and ninety-six cents is spent for the raw
material The rest of the $40. SS.75, goes
into the pockets of the liquor dealers.
If this same $40 had been spent for the
ordinary comforts of life the wage worker
would have received Sl.SO of it, while those
who raised the raw material would have
had $3.50 of it.
Thus the laborer gets only thirty-eight
cents of the $40 if spent for liquor that
weakens him in body and mind.
This is the first blow which the saloon
gives the laborer. 1t next robs him of the
$40, his weeks wages, and sends him homs
drunk to his suffering family. Then it un-
dermines his health and incapacitates him
from doing hard labor. if it does not per-
manently put him on the sick list. It also
dooms him to perform the most menial
kind of drudgery at low wages because his
drinking has paralyzed his mental faculties
80 that he is no longer able to do skilled
work.
But The hardest blow the saloon gives
him is when it digs fer him a drunkard's
grave, and tumbles him into it without
God or hope in this world or the next.
