HIS EMPLOYMENT.

..l
For the benefit Of those who may
not have read my former statements,
repeat that my employment was. con-
fined to the affairs of the company in
Ohio, including it's reorganization after
the decision of our supreme court dis
solving the trust and that 10 was end
ed long before the company had become
in any way the object of legislation by
I Congress, or the subject of attacks of
any kind in the courts or otherwise by
the United States government, and be-
fore any such legislation by Congress
or any proceeding by the United States
government against the company was
proposed or foreseen. and that such
employment has never been renewed.
although, as heretofore shown, again
rendered and declined in 1906.
IF | did not have a right to accept
that employment / should probably be
criticized for having been for years
employed by the Ohio Traction conl-
pany on the ground that while such
employment has no relation to my
duties in Congress. yet in some way.
now unforeseen the company may be
subjected hereafter to Legislation by
Congress or to federal procedure
against 1t; or perhaps condemned for

company, although that was before j,

against by the attorney-general3 of the
United States.

knowledge or probab ility of that COM
pany being lcgislated against by Con-
gress or proceeded against in the fed-
eral courts, SO far as anybody was then
aware, than there was and has been as
to the other companies named at the.
time when Il respectively represented

Congress can safely act as attorney in

rule has ever prevailed and there is no
reason why any such rule should OBJ

stand that when professional SER.

paid for, all obligation ceases on both
sides, and that no lawyer is bound by
reason of a previous employment to
show any favor at any subsequent time

is coming money This is only one
of the many illustrations that could be
cited
A few concluding remarks must
suffice The modern saloon, with all
of its devastating influences upon
society, is a direct product of tenn
perance legislation. If the whole mat
ter of the liquor traffic could be left
alone, every one who chose allowed
to manufacture or to sell, there would
be no such thing as a saloon.
If our forefathers had only trusted
to the natural evolution of society,
and refused to have enacted a single
law to regulate or restrict the liquor
traffic, we should not be facing today
the shame of the American saloon.
The only thing under heavens that has
been accomplished by temperance leg
islation has been the creation of that
abnormal monster in Our midst,
known as the American saloon. The
temperance fanatic has been the ally
of the manufacturer of liquors.
DR.. Carr is perfectly right as to the
effect of high license legislation upon
he saloon. 1t makes it more powerful
md more potent agency for evil 1t
wipes out the insignificant and compare
lively harmless places and abets the
work of notorious dives like that which

THE ROBUST BREWERY
WORKER

The Venango Vindicator, commenting
1pon the Anheuser-Busc advertisement
hat has attracted so much attention,
1nder the title, "a Gasp for Time"
says:
1t was funny, though, wasn't it,
to read of 5000 men working for
that brewery who were such robust
specimens of manhood; when every
body who is posted knows that the
mortality among brewery workers is
frightful, and they are regarded as
unsafe risks by the insurance COM
panies. 1t calls to mind the recent
declaration of Pennsylvania brewer,
who answered casual question as to
whether one of his men, who had
fallen and sustained broken limb
a simple fracture-would be able to
work again in a few weeks
ooh, no" said the brewer. "He
will not recover. I have noticed
that when one of our men gets such
a shock he dies; he never recovers."
To say that men who imbibe beer
freely are robust" and healthy is
like saying that a tree filled with dry
rot is healthy. The insurance COM
panies are not fools They want all
the business they can get, and some
of them offer a special rate to total
abstainers, while they refuse toxfn-
sure men employed in handling drink.

PROHIBITION HURTING
THE SOUTH

The Vine and Spirit Ne7VS of Column
bus, Ohio, asserts to its readers that
Prohibition laws are hurting the
South" This notion it confirms by the
following statements of alleged facts:
What Prohibition laws did for
Maine and Kansas, they will do for
Georgia and Alabama For years
Maine and Kansas have been pointed
out as queer states having queer peo-
pie with queer ideas. In those two
typical Prohibition states liquors of
all kinds have always been sold "on
the sly" and the Prohibition laws
have been openly and secretly violated
from January to January.
1t must be admitted that Maine and
Kansas obtained a bad name" and
it hurt those states. Capital was shy
of seeking investment in Maine and
Kansas, and people did not show as
much inclination to settle in those
states as in other states The result
is that Maine and Kansas did not and
has not, made the progress that other
states with licenses, or local option
laws, have made.
It will be the same with Georgia
and Alabama, if Prohibition contin
ues in those states for many years.

erance laws" have created the modern
aloon. In this wise he discourses:
have in mind two saloons, side by
side on the same street. The first
was a great, large, two-room saloon.
In one room would be seen men
drinking beer, quietly smoking, sit
ting at tables In the adjoining room,
which was Just as public as the other,
was the family, where men with their
families spent quiet evenings, drink
ing beer and chatting with their
neighbors There was no music, no
show, no garden, nothing of any kind
but an old fashioned German beer sa-
loon.
Next to this saloon was one of the
lowest type. 1t had all the evil acces-
series that ever accompany these de-
grading places 1t was frequently
raided by the police. The proprietor
was always under strict surveillance
by the authorities. His private room,
his female orchestra, his gambling de-
vices, all these and more were a con-
slant threat to the peace of the neigh
borhood.
What effect did the $1,000 have
upon these two saloons? 1t squelched
the first one Immediately. The fam
lily room, where people drank beer
and conversed with each other on
decent subjects, closed its doors inn
mediately. The other saloon, with its
constellation of vices, blazed out with
new vigor, redoubled its energies, and

Immediately repealed, particularly the
revenue features of such legislation. But
it would not be better because the bust

improved situation would arise from the
fact that the revenue argument for the

the salve upon the public conscience
would be gone, the people would get

what it really is, and, having seen it,
would act upon it as they should act

Sooner or later business in those two
states will suffer.
These references to Maine and Kan
sas are gratuitously false and everyone
knows them to be false-the editor of

is concerned, with the jails going out

THE SALOON SEEN BY A
CHARITY WORKER

The lamentable fact that some people
who pose as charity and settlement
workers have recently taken upon them
selves the office of defending the saloon
and the liquor traffic, makes the more
appreciated the editorial "The On
slaught on the Saloon" which appears
in Charities That paper says:
What we had not realized. until bv
multiplying indications on every hand
1T now suddenly becomes evident. is
that this hostility to the saloon has
become so deep and widespread as to
deserve to be called national and that
literally millions of Our fellow citizens
SO FULLY appreciate the gravity of al
cohollsm that they are at last taking
effective steps to control it,
Following this is a very creditab1e
resume on the economic conditions that
are to be urged against the saloon. after
which the editorial goes on:

encouraged when they have not act

lnal relations with politics which have
been the gravest menace to our citi-
zenship, and they have openly

around the saloons as to bring us all
to position in which we can SYM

agitator has painted it. Poverty and

LOCAL OPTION IN
MICHIGAN

The Detroit Free Press, commenting
upon the defeat of the Prohibition pro-
posa in the constitutional convention
of Michigan, says:
The local option law adopted twenty
years ago has long been held to be
solution of the Prohibition problem
in this state. This much may be said
of it: That it is very practical So
luton in accord with the home rule
principle, in accord with the principle
that affirms that preponderating
body of favoring sentiment is neces-
sary to the success Of any law, and
in accord with several other princi-
pies of recognized importance in gov.
eminent
To the extent of the county juris
diction, we have already Prohibition
in Michigan, and not only Prohibition
but referendum, and not only the ref
erendum but the Sacred initiative"
as we'll
Nobody knows better than the Free
Press that Michigan's local option law
has amounted to almost nothing as a
means of combating the drink evil. I'm
der it, if we mistake not just one county
in the whole state of Michigan is a
Prohibition county That, after twenty
years, is hardly to be regarded as So
luton of an evil that robs the people of
Michigan of millions and ruins innu
merable homes. But were half the coun
ties of Michigan to adopt Prohibition
by counties, the situation would still
be exceedingly unsatisfactory. There
is little prospect that the centers of
population could be carried for Prohi
bition and if they are left in the pos
session of the saloon, they spread con-
tagion through the whole state. while
at best the old objection to local option
applies-that it is ''too local and too
optional" The constitutional conven-
ton can fail to give Michigan Prohi-
bition clause in its fundamental law, but
before the new constitution is many
years of age, the people of Michigan
by statute will abolish the saloon.

THE RECONNAISSANCE

DR.. Carr has nothing upon which to
base his contentious. The old tavern"
which was the saloons forerunner, grew
up to be center of evil long before
repressive legislation in any real sense
appeared.

THE STORY.

MINEVEH was in turmoil Of ex-
~ element. A strange preacher had
suddenly appeared in the street of the
great city and was proclaiming a
message from the great God Of heaven
and earth, the God of gods who ruled
over all, and who was able to destroy
and to make alive. At first the null
titudes had been disposed to mock
and ridicule the oddly-garbed preach
err, and to laugh with scorn at the
warning that yet forty days, and MIN
sveh shall be overthrow"
But as day after day this preacher
had passed up and down the city pro-
claiming his message. and the miracu-
lous story was told from mouth to
mouth how the preacher had been cast
into the sea, and how his God, who
had sent him to the city, had prepared
a great fish to receive him and bring
him safe to land. sober, thoughtful
hearing was given him. AS result
It was not long ere word was brought
to the king concerning the man and
his message.
"Nineveh to be Destroyer" he cried.
NAY, It cannot be-"
But fear took hold upon his heart
The message Of the prophet troubled
him day and night, and at last he laid
aside his robes of state, and put
ting on in their place the sack
cloth and ashes which betokened
deep mourning and grief, he pro-
claimed a fast throughout the city, de-
creeing that the people from the king
and mobiles down should neither eat
bread nor drink water until the wrath
OF the God of gods had been appeased.
What transformation that was!
When Jonah entered the city's gates
he had found the people given to all
manner Of feasting, and gayety, and
wickedness. and now these things had
all been put away ana the people did
not so much as eat or drink, whereas
