The Clean Up Chorus

Perhaps nothing is more significant in
the present manifestations of the Pro-
hibition movement. than the anxiety of
the liquor trade and it's political allies to
clean up the saloon. 1t seems to be &C.
cepted as a foregone conclusion that the
liquor business, as now conducted, cam
not continue to receive even the tolera-
ton of the American public and that its
only chance for life lies in a radical
change at the point where it touches and
has most offended the people.
The periodical known as Bar 6 Buffet
which describes itself as devoted to the
best interests of real saloonkeepers, bar
tenders and club Stewards" spreads upon
= the first page of its December number
cartoon which represents doleful-look-
ing goddess upon throne, supported by
a distiller, wine grower, wholesale
liquor dealer and brewer, holding up

to public decency. The leaders of the
Prohibition movement could not have
made such rapid progress in the
southern states if they had not I'M
dertaken to make a large part of the
public believe that the brewer and
liquor dealer did not care snap about
the character of the saloons with
which they were connected in a bust
ness way, but that they thought most
of those places which were their best
customers, would buy the most goods.
Bonforfs Wine s. Spirit Circular
quotes with much prominence from a
speech by Mr.. T. M. Gilmore, who pre-
sided at a recent meeting of the distil-
1ers and liquor dealers in Louisville.
Mr. Gilmore asserted that the demand
of the people is for absolute obedience
to the law and that nothing else will be
accepted, and said:

1.-THE Model License Law" This law is
described as drafted to free the retail
liquor trade from selling to minors, SELL
ing to habitual drunkards, the dive, the
disorderly resort and the dance hail
where liquor is sold.
The Free Press, the Kentucky advo-
cate of the liquor business, makes the
following utterance along this line:
The determination of the brewers
and retailers to make war on the dis
orderly saloons, is in line with the
policy of the retailers organizations
which have been trying for years to
rid their business of the incubus of
this element. 1t is certain that the
brewers and retailers will receive the
cordial support of the new mayor of
Louisville and the new governor of
the state in every effort that they are
making to elevate the business in

Prohibition Songs of
Victory

This is the inspiring title of Our
new song book. 1t is 4S-page book,
neatly gotten up, and replete with
new compositions.
Nothing is more effective in Prohi-
bition meetings than the use of music.
This new book has songs suitable for
every Prohibition occasion, and for
every kind of musical combination.
There are solos, duets, quartettes and
choruses. There are pieces suitable
for temperance meetings, and for
Prohibition party campaign rallies.
There are selections for use in no.
license campaigns, and for w. C. T.
u. meetings.
One of the most striking pieces in
the book is "The Army of No Re-
treat" The music of this piece is
stately and inspiring. 1t is a classic
of the reform. Another piece that
will not fail to attract attention is
"For God and Home and Native
Land" and consists of words set to
the music of Schumann's "Traum-
erie"
Several new campaign songs ap-
pear in the book, among them being
"Uncle Sam-u-el," "The ISSUE"
you'd Better Get Your Gun,
"We're Out to Win"
Some of the old Prohibition ia
vorites also appear like "The Old,
Old Bell" keep the Ball Rolling"
Drifting Away" and ''The Breaking
Clouds"
The price of the book is Is cents
for single copies. In quantities of
half dozen, rs cents; one dozen,
$1.25. Orders should be sent to The

That this is true the entire distill-
ing, wholesale and brewing trades
now realize and the question that now
faces us is as to how this obedience
may be absolutely compelled.
We have been asked to leave this
matter to the retail trade, but the re-
tail trade will never bring such con-
dition to pass unless we lead in the
fight, and this is case where the dis
tiller and wholesaler has far greater
interests than the retailer has. If the
saloon goes, the distillery, the brewery
and the winery must go with it. 1t is
absolutely essential, therefore, that our
trade should go into this reform
movement, and by our trade I mean
distillers, brewers, wine makers,
wholesalers, retailers, barrel makers,
bottle makers, masters and all others
who have moneyed interests at stake
and who believe that we can defend
our business successfully before the
bar of public sentiment.
The NezVs- Tribune of Duluth has this
advice for the threatened business:
If then the liquor dealers them
selves do not wish Prohibition they
should give their influence to the
quashing of digging" They should
insist upon the exact observance of
the law everywhere and should also
aid in having the law so amended that
it would not be possible for any one
to sell poison under the label of
whisky.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1907-12-05

which they are engaged, and as these
reforms are made, it is believed that
the hysterical wave of Prohibition
will pass away in Kentucky. The
brewers can do much to aid the re-
tailers to purge their business of
those features which have given the
traffic bad name in some places.
Midas Criterion, one of the foremost
of the liquor advocates of the country,
says:
1t should be recognized that we are
up against condition and not the
DRY, and it is high time to set our
house in order and remove any pre-
text for hostility The primary duty
of the liquor interest, if it will save
its present basis of distribution
through the retail trade, is to estab-
fish the saloon on basis of law and
order. To do this the law-breakers
must be driven out of the business
The ones to do this are the authori-
ties in whose hands are the issuance
and revocation of licenses. These
are primarily responsible for the rep
rehensible acts of their licensees and
back of these is the corrupt politi-
clan, while at the base stands idly the
negligent citizen
The Brewer s. Master in a recent
number speaks in the same tone:
1t cannot be gainsaid that the Pro-
hibitionists have no truer ally than
the saloonkeeper who conducts his
establishment in a manner obnoxious

December 5, 1907

All of which, of course, from the
Tyibnne's standpoint, is wonderfully
wise and important, and will influence
nobody at all. It's too late for that
: sort of thing, by far.
( The Times, of Hartford Conn
argues against state Prohibition, and
for local option in this mistaken fash
ion:
Local option is fair because all vot-
ers have chance to say whether it
shall be adopted The majority de-
cides. But a state Prohibition law
has no such foundation in fair play.
1t is the act of legislature in which
the small towns elect large majority,
and it is the small towns which are
expected to pass the proposed bill.
The cities contain majority of the
voters, and their inhabitants are not
in favor of Prohibition.
The Commercial Appeal, Memphis,
also argues for high license on the
basis of certain alleged experiences of
the Republic of Switzerland That pa
per says:
Over decade and half ago Swift
zerland began its crusade against
drunkenness. That country spent sew
eral millions of dollars and not few
years investigating drunkenness, its
causes and its prevention 1t looked
into high license, went to the bottom
of every form of Prohibition and
even inspected the dispensary system
From all the data thus secured the
lawmakers of Switzerland came to the
conclusion that drunkenness is best
and more effectively prevented by plac-
ing high license on strong drinks,
such as whisky, brandy and the like
and a low license, gradually dwindling
to none at all on light wines and malt
beverages.
Our Prohibitionists decline to even
consider the Switzerland investiga-
ton. They do not investigate for
themselves, and the very radicalism
characterizing the movement is har-
/binger of its ephemera1 and ineffec-
tive nature
1t will, perhaps, do no good to tell the
Appeal, but it may be placed on record
as matter of fact that the whole high
license system has been studied in the
United States, for a full quarter of a
century and has been found vicious as a
policy and worthless as practice The
CommercialAbbeaPs petty fling at the
"radica1ism" of Prohibitionists is merely
a badge of its own ignorance. The Pro-
hibition movement can produce college
boys, as yet unbearded, who, it would be
safe to venture, can teach the editor of
that famous paper far more facts about
the Prohibition movement and the
liquor question than he ever dreamed of.

StraWS in the Wind
The Prohibition movement is confined
to no section of this great country,
though just now its spread through
southern territory is a noteworthy and
significant feature of its progress, and
its steady and rapid advance amid all
the conflicting and dictracting issues
of the day is something which must be
taken into account in making UP all
estimates and judgments of our Amer
lean life-The Nashville TenneSseen
The Picayune, which holds to conser-
vative usages, and is opposed to ram
pant radicalism in everything, is not a
paritizan of Prohibition, regarding it as
oppressive of personal rights and liber-
ties, but it is firmly opposed to the law
1essness with which the liquor traffic has
been largely carried on, and it sounds
now a warning of a flood which is like
ly to overwhe1m the country unless it bel
met by such conditions as give proof
that there is no danger need for such AMI
attack on the trade

The likelihood of state Prohibition in|
Kentucky has been greatly lessened by
the recent election, but there seems to|
be no stopping the crusade for Prohibi-|
ton in the states further south. Georgia, |
Alabama and Mississippi have the Pro
hibition fever. and there seems no dis
position to check it until it has run its
course 1t will cause no great surprise
if Texas, Louisiana and Florida follow
suit-The Louisville Times.
