Progress of Reform

New Zealand is laying plans to Sc
cure law providing for the compul-
sorry teaching of hygiene and physiology
in the public schools, with special ref
erence to the effect of alcohol and mar
cotics on the human system.
There is now almost a universal con-
viction prevailing throughout Europe
and America that if, during the last
year or two, the rank and file of the
Russian army had eaten more rice and
less horse meat, and had drunk more
tea and less vodka, they would be much
better fighters than they are.

costs the people of the United States

more than one and half times as much
as getting born, married and buried put
together.

A Lawyers Testimony

1t was temperance topic in the
Endeavor, Sunday evening, November
IL. Things were moving as usual In the
Baptist Young Peoples meeting that
evening, in Prineville, Oregon. The
leading criminal lawyer of the county,
comparatively young man, who is not
Christian, was present. Rising, the
lawyer said:
''I'm not altogether at home in
meeting of this kind, but I have some
evidence in the line of your theme. 1t
has fallen to my lot to defend forty
eight criminals at the bar, and of these,
forty-two were made such wholly or in
a large measure by drink

every infamy just tabulation of the
saloons assets would put it deep into
the hell of public estimation. Every
day with the saloon is bad day 1t
costs decency in our city incredible gold.
The saloon furnishes the causes which
shame mankind, and upright men must
pay the bills of the lecherous saloon
Eject the saloon from our city life and
crime would dwindle and penury would
almost die. I am not speaking at ran
dom, much less scurrilously, when I
bring these indictments. These mat
ters are common knowledge. Leprosy
would be community comfort and
safety compared with the saloon. And
yet, with no one to contradict these in
dictments, much less disprove them,
when they suggest that on one day in
seven these houses of lawlessness,
drunkenness and lust shall be closed as
the law requires.
If good citizens did their duty they
would demand the abolition of the sa-
iooA, 1Co uCLuOl1ClOA oSN0H udyS Ill SEVEN.
But now all that is demanded is that
law be enforced and one day in seven,
the day when men are comparatively
free from labor, these demoralizers of
public virtue be shut. This demand is
not Quixotic. 1t is utterly sane 1t is
entirely fair. 1t is repugnant to no
moral sense. 1t is antagonistic to no
civic pride. 1t is destructive of no
urban interest or decency. 1t is in keep
ing with law and order and highest
good citizenship. Why should this atti-
tude be greeted by the lifted eyebrows
of city administration? You will ask,
but you will find no valid answer. Sa-
looms do not want to close. That is ALL
And saloons furnish campaign funds
and voters and looters of the treasury,
and suffers of the ballot box and de-
moralizers of the city's reputation. The
word to be pronounced in the hearing of
the city's administration is that it is
quite time to listen to the better in
stincts of the city, not the worse. Why
not listen to the moral rather than the
criminal constituency, the perpetual
violator of every law which interferes
with their greed of gain? Why not
listen to the sober rather than the

drunken? The apt reply would be: cit
has not been the CUSTOM" Quite right.
Let bad customs be summarily aban-
doned. Let decency have chance and
voice.
Once I was talking with mayor Of
Kansas City. He sententiously re-
marked: 'Mr Quayle, cannot close
the saloons. The public does not de-
mand them closed" I asked: 'What
public?' The Kansas City saloons have
been closed. That is the sledge hammer
argument. The saloons cannot be
closed? That word is the most damag-
ing word ever uttered against saloons.
Why should they disobey law with i'm
punity. Why should they trample city
statutes under foot? You arrest auto
mobilists if they scorch. You put muz-
zles on the dogs, and dogs are mainly
good citizens. Why should not muz-
zle be put on anarchy-making saloons?
Sunday is rest day. Hundreds of
thousands of men are Off from work
They ought to be at home with their
families. On that day they have their
wages in their pocket, with which they
ought to pay their debts and furnish
their families with appropriate food and
clothes. Instead, saloons are wide open,
and when Monday morning comes the
pockets of multitude of Woodworking
people are empty and the saloons pock-
cts are full. Is this honest dealing with
the honorable traders of the city? Is
everybody to be looted so that the sa-
loon may be enriched?
l insist that in demanding the closing
of the saloons on Sunday we are good
political economists and good domestic
economists, and friends of every honest
merchant in Chicago, and friends of
every wage Garner in Chicago, and
friends of the good name of Chicago,
and friends of the future of our munich
pality, of our commonwealth, and of
our country.
The best citizenship must be listened
to. That time has come. Every man in
American political life who is making
a name for himself, is doing so by at
tending to the conscience demands of
the good citizen, and in Chicago is an
opportunity for a man and administra-
ton to put themselves in the goodly
