their association openly into pol.
itics as an organized force it is
their privilege.
But if they exercise that priv,
ilege they will learn the lesson
that has been taught in nearly
every one of the common
wealths which make up this
nation. And that is, that the
saloon business is not like any
! other business.
The individual worth of men en-
gagged in that business matters
not one iota. They cannot lift
their trade above the plane of
toleration.
The moment they attempt to
make that trade a political
unit they rouse from indiffer-
ence the yemen the churches and
most potent of all at thepolls
the Americans repugnance
to outside dictation concerning
matters which he considers
fshould be settled by the people
of his especial community.
Viewing him as neither devil
nor saint, the saloon keeper is
not blameworthy for doing as his
fellow-citizens do and keeping a
close watch on what may deplete
his pocketbook. He would be a
fool if he did not use what ilfiu-
ence he may possess as an indi-.
vidual to defeat laws that would
leave him in idleness or bank
ruptcy. But he only hastens
such legislation, in its hars hest
form, by such open, organized
entrance into state politics as is
planned by the Federation of
Liquor Dealers at Harrisburg.
Senator Langitt made a sig
.nificant declaration in Pittsburg
this week. He said: 81 believe
that the Republican pagty will
have local option plank in its
platform next year, and that a
local option law will be enacted
by the next Legislature. .
That may or may not be the
outcome. One thing, however,
is certain. Any persistent at
tempt by the consolidated saloons
of any commonwealth to become
the dominant influence in politics
will result eventually in rebuke
severer than any restriction con-
templatad in any local option leg
islation. NORTH american.

% Time serving churchmen.
In the name of all reason,
whose voice should rule? The

alone (members and adherents)
compose majority Of the popu-

The people believe in majority

The assumption of a majority
without a vote is unwarranted,
as anyone will admit. Who be.
lives that these people would re-
fuse resubmission if they were
sure of victory?
The classification is unwarrant.
ed and false. It marks the
hypocritical egotism of the op-
position.
The best men in Maine want
resubmission.
The speak-easy proprietors
are class of men that could not
get license. and want things to
continue as they are.
The criminal classes find bet
ter opportunity when the speak |
easy is their handy aid.
The pettifogging politicians
are to a. unit with the Prohibi-

Time serving churchmen are
the, churchmen who serve the

happens to be prohibition.

ANXIOUS TO SEE CANAL IMPROVED
Congressman Burton is Enthusiastic Over
the Project


Congressman Burton is Enthusiastic Over
the Project
Congressman Hiram r. Burton while
in Baltimore Monday was loud in his
praise of Baltimore and the tremendous
opportunities which would be opened to
it il the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
Improvements were rushed to completion.
Mr.. Burton is heartily in favor of com.
pleting the canal. In fact, Congressman
Burton has done more to get the appro-
priation from Congress than any other
man who has been sent to Washington.
As yet this bill has never been gotten
through Congress, bnt the Delaware rep
resentatiye is iubiIant over the outlook
and expressed himself Monday as being
almost certain that the measure would
pass at the next session. The bill carries
with it an appropriation OF more than
$4,000, 600.
Everywhere he has been, Congressman
Burton says, there is a continual cry for
the building of the canal. Every city on
the Atlantic coast, he declared, realizes
the importance of constructing more in.
land waterways, and especially, such an
important one as the Delaware and Chesa-
peake Canal will be.
Incidentally, Congressman Burton
touched upon political conditions in Della
ware, and said that the people were satis-
fed with the governmentas administrated
by the Republican party and that every.
body was prosperous. This prosperity
and contentment he asserted, would cause
Delaware to remain in the Republican
column in the future.

the majority of citizens as an at

The North American speaks of
this matter in no spiritof passion
or partisanship. We note the
spread of temperance sentiment
and more rigid regulation of the
liquor traffic as development of
the age, caused more by economic
than by sentimental reasons.
But we take full account of hu.
man nature and self-interest.
The saloon-keeper pays his
axes. He breaks no law unless

We wish the public
to understand that
after thorough inves-

ing our previous re-
search into conditions

every stated fact is

The Calling of an Indignation Meeting
BY parties whose pet theory had
been truthfully and successfully
attacked, is not. evidence of un-
reliability on our part.
The presence as that meeting
of politicians, and their sup
port of the populistic hysteria
then manifested, rather confirms
than invalidates our statements.
Therefore, take the advice of
