An Ancient Industry.

Olive STOCK w Orlu).
The chief industry Of bethlehem OF
Judea is that of the mother of pearl
workers. The shells are brought from
the Red Sea. and in the hands of ma
tive artisans are polished and carved
the larger into elaborate designs. The
smaller are cut up for rosaries and
crosses The work is all done by hand
and the methods are amazingly PRINT
tive to a spectator from the home OF
the steam and electric power. But
the results are extraordinary. The
largest shell we saw was carved in
scenes from the birth of Christ. the
agony in the garden and the crucifix-
ion, and had the general effect of deli
cate frostwork Under the magnifying
glass every detail was seen to be per-
feet in outline and in finish. 1t was
executed to order for a wealthy Amer
lean and was to cost $3.50.
About $50 people make living by
this industry. which is 500 years old.
In the shops the workmen sit upon the
floor their benches In front Of them.
The air is full of whitish dust. and
the light admitted by the single win
dow and the open door Is so dim that
the exquisite tracery of the wrought
shells is a mystery even before the
visitor notes how few. simple and
crude are the instruments employed.

The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-02

The man who does less than this, or the
man who demands more than this, is rebel
against society; is seeking, not his personal
liberty, but to rob others of their liberties.
In the matter of the saloon, the cutlery
which we hear for personal liberty means,
for one thing, the desire of the thoughtless
for vicious indulgence that is to their
damage and to the general damage; it means,
for another thing, and more frequently and
more clearly, that those interests which -four
-ish by the saloons robbery Of the poor, are
trying to hide behind popular fetch.
The Milwaukee brewer who clamors for
personal liberty cares nothing for the liberty
of the masses, or for their welfare in any
way, so long as they guzzle enough of his
poison. The HEARST editor, who aligns him
self on the side of rebellion against the law,
cares nothing about the liberty of the masses,
so long as they buy enough yellow journals
and can be melted to foolish voting to the
furtherance Of the personal ambitions Of GER
tain interested parties.

Personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The editor of The National Prohib Zionist
desires to present his personal thanks to the
many readers and workers in different parts
OF the country who have responded to the in
vitation to send important newspaper clip
pings to this office. AS result the editors
desk has been almost deluged with news and
editorial clippings from practically every
state in the Union, giving the widest view
Of the progress of the movement that it has
been the good fortune of any Prohibition
editor to have at any time. The work of no
"clipping bureau" which we have ever en-
ployed has anywhere nearly approached the
assistance thus rendered. nor have we ever
been able by the most carefully organized
system Of exchanges to equal it.
Many correspondents may, perhaps, feel
that their information has been neglected
and this has been inevitable in the mass of
matter that has been presented, but, as
whole, it has gone to strengthen and fortify
the editorial work of this paper in most re-
markable degree.
We respectfully solicit the continuance of
this assistance. Anything of importance
which appears in local papers, weekly or
daily, concerning the Prohibition movement,
specially the editorials upon the Prohibition
question which appear in important daily
papers, we want to see, and our friends can
materially assist us by promptly sending us
the clippings of the same, marked with the
name and date of the paper.
The prompt reporting of all matters of
party news is also of the very highest impor-
lance.

The distinguished Rabbi, in his arraign-
ment Of the Sunday closing movement, has
ignored two other facts. One of them is this
The saloon is open upon Sunday as upon any
other day, not to give the people something,
but to take something from the people. In
anything like a careful analysis this dis
covery is made. The other fact is that those
who seek to close the saloons purpose to give
the people who are now wasting their money
in the saloons the most priceless of all re-
turns, chance to have happy homes.
As regards Professor SoHMIDT's pronun-
ciamento, it is, perhaps, permissible to revert
to a statement which the gentleman once
made in the hearing of the editor of The
National PrOhibitionist. He said: ~ am
trying to bring up my little girl as much like
a heather as possible" Professor SCHMIDT
has evidently carried his heathenizing process
back to the little girls ancestry The senti-
ment which he utters would do credit to
barbarian.
No man and no mass of men have right
to decide, in contravention of sound morals
and good ethics and common sense, what they
will do with the rest day, or with any other
day.
We very frankly express the opinion that
the world can get along very we'll without
"ethical associations" or universities or syna-
gogues that stand for the kind of Internal
nonsense that Messrs. HIRsoH and SCHMIDT
perpetrated in this city last Sunday
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-02
MOST REMARKABLE "ETHICS"

1t is a rather remarkable fact that GER
tain class of men who like to be considered
reformers and who pose about, saying radical
things about progress, always manage to put
themselves on record among the most reac-
tionary of the reactionists whenever the sa-
loon question comes under discussion. That
evolution was successfully accomplished, ac-
cording to the Chicago daily papers, on last
Sunday by Rabbi HIRsoH of this city and
Professor SCHMIDT, who is credited to Cor
nell University, in addresses before the So
called National Ethical convention.
Rabbi HIRsoH's argument, if it may be so
called, was in behalf of the saloon and, par
ticularly and specifically, the Sunday saloon,
because that institution is necessity" for
the people. He declared, the papers tell us,
that the people who are trying to close the
saloons on Sunday are unable to give the
public anything to take the Sunday saloons
place. Professor SCHMIDT laid down, as
seemingly his principal contention, s"The
masses of mankind have the right to decide
for themselves what they shall do with their
day of rest"
So far as Sunday closing is concerned,
both of these eminent gentlemen have wholly
begged the question In that matter, at the
present time, the issue simply is: Shall or
shall not the laws of the land be obeyed?
For obedience to law there ought to stand
arrayed every honest citizen of every re-
ligious or non-religious classification against
the law there are arrayed the allied liquor
interests, the buns, the thugs, the bawds,
Rabbi HIRsCH and Professor SCHMIDT.
If they do not like that classification we,
at least are not to blame for the facts which
make the classification inevitable

EDWARDS FLEEING FOR LIFE


In the cartoon which appears upon page
of this paper Mr.. DONALD F. STEWART, with
whose splendid work in The Defender, many
readers of The National Prohibitionist are
familiar, has caught exactly the spirit of the
loud-mouthed pretensions to reform that are
being made by the liquor traffic. The whole
thing is shallow, pretentious, insincere, bru-
tally selfish and, thank God, futile.
The country has never had an exhibition
Of insolent meanness more calculated to stir
the blood of righteous indignation than that
which ADoLPHUs BUSCH furnished as he sat
in his palatial private car at Kansas City,
putting his costly cigar, on his way to the
elysium that he has built in Pasadena from
his ill-gotten wealth, and talked about his
desire to see a 'reform of the liquor bust
ness" and his Cordial support of local OPP
tion." Mr. BUSCH is not in favor of local
Prohibition or any other kind of Prohibition
He is in favor of giving, when he must, the
people the chance to fight out this question
in local fights, with the advantage every time
upon the side Of the liquor interests, if so be
he can keep back little longer the fight that
he is sure to lose-the national fight against
the traffc's existence.
mat the liquor interests are Wiling 10
make certain concessions at least, to talk
about making them-is perfectly clear A
long time ago it was put upon record that
call man hath will he give for his life,
but that the great brewers, distillers and
wholesalers have been and today are in the
closest sympathy with, and in the deepest
degree responsible for, the worst features Of
the liquor traffic, is beyond question. The
most notorious dives of our great cities faunt
the signs of the breweries, costly, extrava-
gantly costly signs that the brewing COM
panies have given them. A prominent gen
tleman of this city only few days ago car
ried to the head of one of the great brewing
companies bundle of receipts taken from
Ssblind pig showing that his company had
sold to the criminal who there did business
for unlawful sale, hundreds of dollars worth
Of beer, and asked this respectable" gentle
man at the head of the brewing company to
refrain from such sales in the future, and
was insolently told that the M-A-y Brew
ing Company was Gin business to sell beer to
anybody who could pay for it"

sacrifice of some Of their dirty children, they
escape the same brutal wretches that they
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-02

One of the significant signs Of the times
is the renewal of the old plea for "compen-
sation." We have heard comparatively little
of this for years past, but now it is again a
topic of discussion in the liquor papers.
Quite evidently some of our friends begin
to see pretty clearly where they "get off at"
