 The United States Brewers Associa- ton, which has just closed its annual convention at Indianapolis. has reit- erated its determination to put the brewing industry upon high plano and make the products of the industry more of national drink than at pres ent. Many favorable newspaper com ments have been created by the follow ing resolutions adopted by the conven- tion:
 Resolved. That this convention heartily congratulates the many brew ing associations in States and cities that have taken the lead in eradicating low and villa resorts and refusing to supply beer to saloons that are not ap- proved by the public sentiment of their respective communities.
 Resolved, That 1t Is the sense of this convention that all our members continue !n this wise policy. so that the American public may be the more quickly taught that American beer is promoter of genuine temperance, a beverage for the home and fireside.
 Resolved, That we urge every brew CT to so Work that the time may speed fly arrive when fair public will fully understand and appreciate the true value of our product. both as food and as beverage. and we recommend that each br wer frequently call at tention to th@ fact that there Is so It. tie alcohol fn beer as not to produce drunkenness. when drank unmixed with ardent stimulants.
 Resolved. That the immense increase in the consumption of American beer has done more to establish sobriety than all the prohibitory laws in exis- tence and will. we believe, be the means of a true solution of the drink prob- lem and the establishment of ideal temperance, besides showing tho con. fidence the American public has in the purity and value of the national drink"
 During the convention the interesting fact was brought out that the Texas brewers have for two years spent $10,- 900 each month in closing vile saloons and low dives. The association has th' best legal talent to be found corps of trained detectives and secures its own evidence against saloon keepers who do not run orderly places. Int Texas brewers have received the praise of the best citizens generally. 1t Il stated that the detectives of the Texai brewers close three times es many sa looms as the police officials of the va rious cities.
 The intention of the brewers of ths country Is. 1t Is announced, to mak' beer a drink that can be taken in [ soda water fountain or anywhere els' without subjecting anyone to criticism The New York Herald. in a leading edi torial as to safe and healthy summer drinks, classed beer as the foremes and deast calculated to do harm il warm weather.
