"Wllaf Shall We Do To Be Saved p


That Georgia victory looms up more
and more menacingly to the liquor
press the longer they think about it,
The August-September issue of Bar
and Buffet, one of the most influential
leaders in the movement for reform
in the saloon business, sounds vigor-
GUS blast under the words, What
Shall We Do To Be Saved, in huge
display type. 1t says:
Georgia has gone dry. Another
great state has placed the ban upon
the liquor traffic. Furthermore, those
who profess to be able to read the
handwriting on the wall say that all
the rest of the Southern states will
follow suit
THAT is the condition that con-
fronts u.s. There is no theory about
it. 1t is an undeniable and concrete
fact. The Prohibitionists are gaining
ground steaany and rapidly.
while our ranks are torn by inter-
necine strife, while straight whiskey
people and rectifiers are fighting each
other, while the wine men are pulling
one way and the brewers another, the
cohorts of total abstinence are march
ing steadily on.
I'm their ranks there is unity, we'll
defined aim, singleness of purpose, en-
thusiasm, and they all work together.
In our ranks there is none of these.
Instead, all is confusion. We are not
only doing nothing to oppose the
enemy, but we are playing into their
hands by fighting among ourselves
The public weal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1906-1908, 1907-09-01

Every thinking man of the liquor
interests knows that this is true. The
picture is not overdrawn. Prohibition
is no longer remote possibility, but
a menacing probability. The move
ment is gathering strength like a
prairie fire and spreading almost as
fast and relentlessly.
"And it is our fault. We have been
blind. We have refused to see We
would not understand. We would not
believe. Now we have to. We can
not longer evade the ISSUE We have
to look the facts in the face and we
have to do it now-at once.
"The whole trouble lies in the retail
end of the business. Certain customs,
methods, usuages and practices which
obtain among the wholesalers, brew
ers and distillers and which we hear
so loudly criticised, are as nothing
when compared with the disreputable
saloon.
1T is the dive-the doggery-tha.. Is
poisoning the business-the saloon
with the sittingroom attached, the
saloon where liquor is sold to minors,
the saloon that caters to thugs and
thieves. 1t has got to 60 And the
liquor interests must speed it's going
or in the end go with it. There is no
alternative. There must be no tenn
porizing or delay. We eithe:- cast it
overheard and save ourselves or we
all go down together. Which is it 60
ing to be?"

""The fact is, Jawn There ARE no
political issues that are wirth pickin'
up these days that don't look like a
live wire. I suppose we'll have to
be friends, bitterly as I hate it,"
An what did Jawnny McKenna
say?" asked Mr.. Hennessey.
"Jawnny McKenna said," replied
Mr.. Dooley, that if we didn't fight f'r
principles we'd fight for fun. He
said that's what he always fought f'r
an if it wasn't so, livery day
wud be ilictiOn day."

furnish the strongest additions to the
sentiment for such an issue.
The prohibition question is before
the people now as it never has been
before. The political leaders believe
that it is taking a practical turn and
that national prohibition must be
reckoned with as one of the elements
in the political game Those who wish
to recognize it at this time and util-
ize it for the gathering of votes, main
tain that it cannot longer be ignored,
and there are Democrats who are of
the opinion that it should be in the
next national platform of their party.
The public weal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1906-1908, 1907-09-01

The Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee,
Louisiana, Arkansas, the Virginias
and Maryland, and have their prohibi-
tion advocates, who are so numerous
as to be a strong political element.
Missouri, too, which is practically
Southern, has strong leaning toward
prohibition.
In the West the sentiment is not
SO strong, although Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Oklahoma might be expected
to furnish strong recruits for a move
ment to make prohibition a national
plank. In the East, Maine, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut and Indiana would

Will Either OF the Old Parties Declare for Prohibition?

For the first time in the history of
the country the possibility of the pres
entation of national prohibition
plank for the platform of one of the
great parties at it's next national con-
vention is being discussed gravely at
the national capital. While Prohibi-
tionists have nothing on which to
base any hope that either old party
will take such an advanced step, the
discussion of such a possibility indi-
Gates to what extent the Prohibition
cause has progressed.
If such plank should be inserted
in the democratic platform, it is
urged, it would do much toward the
election of democratic president.
Georgia has recently prohibited the
sale and manufacture of intoxicating
liquors within her borders and in
Kentucky, Mississippi and Texas the
issue is distinctively live one. These
states are seats of democratic
strength and should the demand come
from them for the incorporation of
prohibition plank in the platform it
would receive consideration.

HE SAW 1T.

A laboring man leaving a large sa-
loon saw a costly carriage standing in
the front occupied by two ladies',
elegantly attired, who were conversing
with the proprietor.
AS it rolled away, he said to the
dealer:
Whose carriage is that"
1T is mine," replied the dealer, COM
placently. 1T cost $1,000 My wife
and daughter cannot do without it."
The mechanic bowed his head a mo-
ment in deep thought, and looked sad.
Then, with an energy of a man sud-
denly aroused, he said:
81 see it! I see it,"
See what?" said the dealer.
See where for years my wages have
gone. l helped to pay for that carri-
age and team and that gold-mounted
harness, for the silk and laces and

others have supported you and your

''What th' Divvle Will They Fight About?"


The grand old parties" Of pluto
Gratis and platitudes are on the brink
of a desperate opportunity, according
to Mr.. Dooley. For years they have
carried on quadrennial pyrotechnic
sham battles directed by patriotic
grafters who knew how to keep the
people willing to VOTE JUST ONCE
MORE" for any old tradition they
could keep in the limelight, while the
great issues of the hour went begging
decade after decade.
But the national awakening of moral
sentiment and the now dominant reali-
zation of the power of the people,
once they can get together, has shat
tered all these well-tried political
methods.
Here is the way Mr.. Dooley in his
latest discussion of Political Prin-
ciples' describes the dilemma and the
reason why:
'In short time tn parties will en-
gage in wan iv their great battles, but
tn question is, What tn divvle kill
they fight about?"
COUNTING OUT THE DEAD ONES.
