WHERE WILL IT END?

st. Louis ministers have formed
an organization and will take a
test case to the supreme court for
the purpose of trying to prove
that saloons have no legal right to
exist.
In the circuit court Of Boone
county, Indiana, Junge Samuel r.
Artman recently rendered sweep
ing decision, in sustaining a re-
monstrance against granting sa-
loon license, in which he holds
that the beverage liquor business
is hurtful to the public safety,
morals and health; and that under
decisions of the United States su-
preme court, which holds that no
legislation can be enacted to bar
gain away the public morals or
sa fety, and. therefore, the
saloon, being a recognized source
of vice and crime, liquor selling is
not constitutional right of any
American citizen, and that even
the people themselves have no
constitutional right to barter away
the public safety, morals and
health, by voting to license saloons.
There is the greatest prohibition
wave sweeping the entire country
today that was ever witnessed per-
haps in any country, and the final
outcome will be watched with a
great deal of interest by every
thoughtful citizen, no matter upon
which side of the question he may
