DENVER, Colo, December e.-(Special CORE
spondence )-There is published in this city a
periodical known as Clays ReviesU The pub
Usher is prominent Republican politician, is
intimately connected with one of the great secret
orders which are opposed to Prohibition. and
has for years been the outspoken defender of
both gambling and drink selling His columns

NO WORRY ABOUT REVENUES
Atlanta Not Alarmed Over the "Loss" of
100000 of the Saloons Blood
Money

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, December 90 Special cor
respondence)- story which has been widely
circulated in the liquor papers and continues to
find publication, sometimes appearing in northern
dailies Geographic dispatch from this city,
to the effect that Atlanta is likely to be seriously
embarrassed by the loss of saloon revenue next
year, is absolutely without foundation of any
kind.
This city will close" substantially two hundred
thousand dollars from the closing of the saloons,
but no one who is in touch with municipal fin
ances is in any way alarmed concerning it. Large
increase of revenue is in sight, and in consider
able part the revival of business attending Prohi-
bition is responsible for it.

manufacture and sale of liquor the traffic could
be easily discontinued.
Mr. BRUBAKER, in his opening statement closely
defined what is meant by "The Liquor Problem"
organized financial power, controlling the pol
itcs of city, state and nation, corruptng public
officials trampling upon all restrictive laws, de-
feating justice, filling halls of legislation with
boodlers, debauching manhood, wrecking homes,
filling the land with crime and poverty and
disease and death, increasing the burdens CT
taxation and threatening the stability of repub-
lican government.
The solution of this problem, be contended,
must remove all these evils or reduce them to
the lowest possible minimum. Any solution that
fails to remove the cause will fail completely in
removing the results.
Mr.. BRUBAKER contended that it should be the
purpose of government to protect its citizenship
from all evils as far as possible; that for the
state to become the maker and seller of liquor
subverted this fundamental principle no less COM
pletely than when, under the present system,
the state issues license to an Individual to en-
gage in the liquor business; that as long there
is drink, there will be drinkers; as long there
drinkers, there will be drunkards, and as
long as there are drunkards we will have all
the evils that spring from drunkenness; that as
matter of fact, therefore, to socalize the liquor
traffic is no solution of the liquor problem at all
Failure to remove the evil of drunkenness is
failure all along the line.
An interesting episode occurred when Mr.. BEN
TALL in his second speech denied that it is the
purpose of Socialism to "Sociaze" the liquor
traffic Mr. BRUBAKER came loaded In his re-
ply to BENTAIL's denial, he pulled Socialist

text book from his pocket, stated that he had
procured it at Socialist headquarters and pro-
ceeded to read therefrom that the Socialists So
luton of the liquor problem is the Specialization
of the traffic" "Now then," said he, amid roars
of laughter and applause, eff I am wrong, Mr..
BENTALL should go over to Socialist headquarters
and insist that the officials there shall quit inn
posing upon a poor, innocent, unsophisticated
orphan like am"
The debate was lively from start to finish and,
Notwithstanding the unproptious surroundings, it
is believed votes were made for Prohibition.

respondence)-A series of meetings in this county
the past week has caused more comment than
any similar meetings for years The Ministerial
OF indianapolis, for two addresses last Sunday
At the morning church hour Mr. NEwLIN de-
livered his Sermon "The Death of Stephen" at
the Methodist Episcopal church and at night he
gave his lecture, "The Unconsttutionality of
Legallzing Wrong" at union service of all
churches in the city except the Methodist. The
great audience filled every seat in auditorium and
gallery of the Christian church For more than
an hour Mr.. NEwLIN held the closest attention
OF all while he reasoned to the legal status of
the saloon in America, and showed the unreason-
able and illegal methods by which we have tried
to regulate the traffic. The address is still the
talk of the town and is sure to give great help
in the remonstrance fight that is to be opened
here in January
On Monday night Mr.. NEw11N addressed an
church north of the city On Tuesday evening
one of the largest audiences ever gathered in
Goblesvle listened, laughed and cheered while
Mr.. NEwLIN moved them at his will On
Wednesday evening another fine audience greeted
Mr. NEwL1N in the United Brethren church. Roa-

One of the amusing incidents connected with
these meetings has been the claim by members of
each political party that they were responsible
for Mr.. NEwLIN's coming and that he fully rep

gumentative battle on Sunday afternoon in Jeffer-

ing of the Christian Socialist Fellowship Center
and the subject for discussion was, Resolved
That the Socialists have better solution of the
liquor problem than the Prohibitionists have"
Mr.. BENTALL presented the usual arguments of
Socialism, viz: that by taking the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants out of the hands of indi-
viduals and removing the incentive of profits"
the traffic would gradually die; that as soon as
majority of the people were opposed to the
