Organization Spirit

Liquor Trade says it Should Combine
for Protection and the Principle of
Justice to Humanity.
Speaking of the Liquor Dealers Or
ganization reminds us of few plain
truths that all other such bodies should
know and abide by. In the first place,
saloon men are often too independent,
and think that their calling needs no
protection at all We have never seen
men who carry more grievances against
one another than saloon men, for which
reason the history of their organiza-
ton is very often a history of lamen-
table failures. If the ants of the vari-
GUS states were given to the same bick-
erings that often perturb Cur people
there would never have been prohibit
ton law on the books of single state.
The trade needs the lessons that come
to men who give way to others, and
who, by compromises of individual
opinion, work for the good of all. 1t is
only in this way that success can be
achieved.
There are urgent reasons for the
trade of every locality to unite and
work like one man. Individual inter-
ests are of many varieties, but in the

Ban on Saloon Keepers and Bartenders

The dealer in is hard pressed by all decent classes

Protected From Burglars
No Law That Keeps Home and Dear
Ones from Danger of Saloon

If thief or burglar enters my home
by night and steals my property, and if
1 should call for help, the city marshall
and the police force would be at my COM
mand. My neighbors would rally to
assist in bringing that thief to justice.
This is right. A saloon may be opened
in my town, enter the sacred precincts
of the home, take it's brightest and best
son and daughter, make them drunk
ards or drunkard's wife. The police
power of the state is asked to protect
that home, but they say that the saloon
must run to get revenue to pave our
streets and to light our cities. In order
that the saloon may run, somebody's
boy must become drunkard and some
bodys daughter must become drunk
ards wife. Will not the people of the
state Of Illinois put upon the statute
books some law by which mans family
may be protected from the ravages of
the saloon, equally strong with that
which says that we shall have protec-
ton from thieves and burglars?

hour of self-defense friends and enc
mics alike should work shoulder to
shoulder. Your enemies are united and
vigilant, Mr.. Saloonman, and if you
grow cold-if you permit your associa-
ton to lag; if you nurse your private
dislikes, you will be hampered by mar
row laws, if, indeed, your enemies do
not put you out of business
Your mission is to fight for liberal
laws, to elevate the calling you are
pursuing, and to stand, for self-defense,
on the broad principles of justice and
humanity. If you have petty differ
ences, forget them. Do not forget that
the world is ruled by series of COM
promises between contending forces
The interests of every member of an
association are identical thus far: All
want liberal laws all need defense
against fanaticism, and all should de-

and you will grow in strength each day.
