The man who will rent a building to the
saloon man for the purpose of running q
saloon therein, is accessory to the crime.
When man comes out of a saloon win.
ing his mouth it is sign that his children
| arc at home smacking their lips for grease
The deeper you,are favorably interested
in the saloon business. the shallower is
your respect and association with the
church. AaE
When the young man stands inside sa.
loon and looks ont through scratch on
the painted window, his conscience turns
up one notch. -sstr- .s. .. r~
When community comes to think that
saloon men are actually respectable. the
same community has no one that is not
respectable to them.
The people contend that u man should
be permitted to go to hell the way he wants
to go, and that is pretty strong argument.
But why not, that's their business. '.
Teeth and forehead make the man. but
when the former are longer than the latter
is high, you may expect that fellow to be
material for matter like this column.
You do not need to get interested about
the saloon business. but the family across
the way is where the danger is and you
might advise them to be careful OF their
son.
You would as well call hog hog and
endeavor TO open his eyes to change as
to call some people saloon keepers and en-
deavor thereby to cause a sensible thought
to them.
The saloon is always quite certain that
0 .rtain measures will never Danish the evil
tiom our midst. Do not allow yourself to
think they will tell you now to Danish, if
they knew. .4..
The young man who will deliberately en-
ter the realm of the saloon after the pres
ent-day light upon the subject, has no
head of his own: that on the top is only
his neck grown up and,haired over.
t There are enough boys now born with a
desire for liquor to maintain all our saloons
for q generation, and there are enough
saloons now born with a desire for the
boys to waylay generation of people,
The man who will loan money to 50
loon man to start his saloon or run it after
wards, is saloon keeper from logical
and moral standpoint and is in every wav
guilty and dangerous to the common
wealth.
No one supposes that his son will be the
one to fall by the wayside under the inf1u-
ence of the saloon. 1t is always the other
mans son who is getting little free with
that ASSOCIATION, Ours is always good
boy just the same, so now
SO long as young man looks around
when he comes out of saloon there is
hope, but when he is so far gone that he
walks in and out like he was going to mill
it is time for his parents to make a change
in the training of the younger boys.
If our legislature so emphatically believes
that Idaho does not want local option and
is so firmly convinced that it would not
carry, why don't they try it round and
let us all see about it? People ought to
have the right to go wrong the way they
want to, Ell?
Favoring the saloon and praying for the
distressed is very like the farmer shooting
hostile indians in defense OF his home and
then taking shot occasionally through
the sides of his house where his family are
refuged. He is generally hid a short dis
lance from both.
Hardware business is legitimate usually
and for the dealer to sell rifle to one man
to xiii coyotes and to another to mur rider
people with, divides the legitimacy up un-
der the same headings that we have when
a money lender will father both good and
evil business affairs.
There is one man in Caldwell who has
three or four little children who are treat
ed worse than decent dogs. yet the saloon
men know when he has job of work and
how much he gets for doing it. These are
the pretty good fellows you hear of, who
happen to be running an illegitimate bust
ness on square legitimate basis.
Thirty years since toddies were on the
table of all well-tn-do people and no drunk
enness. we are told. If in these thirty
years the liquor habit has so grown on the
human race until today two hundred
thousand go down to destruction each year
from its awful effect, what may we look
for at the end of another thirty years un.
restrained influence.
The saloon works its way into the cor.
puscles of the moral life of a community
just as carcinoma cancer poisons the
blood of the human body. Cut it out
where it has grown largest and even then
it may break out on some other part of the
body. But cutting out the cancer is the
only is the only chance for saving the vic,
tim. So with a community afflicted with
the saloon curse. The oil treatment is toe
mild.
