The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-02
THE RECONNAISSANCE
wofC
January 2, 1908.

Immediately that issue is encountered
with the advocacy or rejection of ev-
cry other issue in the election. The
only way to get temperance forward
is to keep it disentangled just as far
as possible from any political party
whatever. The omni-partizan is the
true method.
Whatever anyone may think concern
ing the honesty and good faith of the
League or the benehcent character of
its work, it must be patent to every
thinking man that the violence of the
saloonkeepers and misrepresentation of
the daily papers can present no force
that as an opposition to the growth of
the Prohibition party, is for a moment
comparable with the force exerted by an
organization that processes to represent
temperance sentiment and voices itself
in this way concerning the most vital
of all phases of the question. Prohibi-
tonists who know, from long years of
careful study, that the only solution OF
the drink problem is Prohibition with
Prohibition party behind it, ought to
have very little difficulty in deciding
where they stand with regard to an or
ganization that voices its views in this
fashion.

constituted authority The St. Louis
Globe-Democrat calls attention to the
fact that the German government keeps
strong hand upon the liquor traffic in
that country, and that obedience to reg
ulative law is not only demanded but
enforced. The american Issue, COM
menting upon the Globe-Democrat edi-
torial, says:
We have been repeatedly informed
by respectable beer drinking Germans
in America, who desire to conform to
the laws and institutions of this coun-
try, that if German laws were i'll
operation here, not only would prac-
tically all the saloonkeepers be in Jail
inside of two days, but that the rotten
slop ladled out in America, in the
name of beer, would be confiscated
and the brewers sent to the peniten-
tiary inside of fortnight. Germans
of the better class, as a rule, look
with disgust upon the lawlessness of
the baser elements who sin against
American institutions in the name of
an alleged German liberty which no.
where exists in the Fatherland
There is reason to believe that about
nine-tenths of all the clamor which we
hear in the name of the Germans, has
basis in the desires Of no Germans save
those who wish to exploit both their
fellow countrymen, and others whom
they can reach, for the sake of the
profit to be had from beer-selling.

IN THE NAME OF
GERMANY

A good deal is heard about the de-
mands of the Germans for wide-open
Sundays and unrestricted beer-selling
If certain class of daily papers were
to be believed, practically the whole Ger
man population of the United States
would be recognized as in rebellion
against our laws that make for good
order and public decency 1t is, how
ever, well-known fact that these rep
RESERVATIONS misrepresent large part
of the German population who, while
they may enjoy condition of things
that gives them wide. latitude in the
matter of obtaining Intoxicating drinks,
are sturdy respecters of law and order,
and not willingly found arrayed against

THE BREWER AND
REFORM

The Chicago Daily Neaos, in recent
editorial, which has already been re-
ferred to in The National Prohibi-
ZIONIST, places before its readers an ex-
sremely judicial and incisive analysis of
he reform pretensions of the brewers.
The editorial is worthy of careful per-
lisal in the whole and The National
Pvohibitionist places it before its read
Frs without any comment.
For a good many years the friends
of law and order have been taking
their punishment lying down. The
corrupt politician, profting greatly by
the prevalence of vice and the meek
ness of so-called good citizens, has
protected the evil saloon and all the

THE LEAGUES ATTITUDE
TOWARD THE PARTY

The attitude of the Anti Saloon
League toward the Prohibition party has
always been one of the difficult themes
of discussion and many of Our own peo
pie have seriously criticized Prohibi
ton papers for what they have called
Opposition to kindred organization.
There has been great deal in the atti
tude of the League to seriously try the
patience of radical Prohibitionists
throughout its whole history, as, for ex-
ample, when the founder of the League
has repeatedly told audiences that there
is no need of a Prohibition party, and
that if need should ever arise, the
League would give the country such
party, or when League leaders have sup
ported notorious drinking men against
we'll qualified Prohibition candidates, or
when, as in Milwaukee at the present
moment, the head of the Anti Saloon
League opposes any movement for Pro-
hibition, and even for Sunday closing,
and asserts that all the League wants
now is to have the dives closed at mid
night, and does not care whether the
mayor to be elected is in favor of Pro-
hibition or opposed to it. These facts
make an introduction to an editorial
which appeared on December IA in the
Anti Saloon Leagues official paper, The
american Issue The editorial bears the
caption Keep Moral Reform Out of
Partizan Politics." The paragraph
which gives the gist of the whole, says:
1t is fatal mistake to identify the
temperance, or any other moral, re-
form with the fortune of any one
party. A political party must of ne
cessity have number of issues in its
platform. The opposite political plat
form may have an equal number Of
different issues. Let the first party
espouse the cause of Prohibition, and

GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS

So popular has been the oppor-
tunity given to subscribers renew
ing their subscriptions to secure
GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS
at reduced rate, that it has been
decided to continue the offer which
was originally made with the idea
of its withdrawal at Christmas. A
limit is now fixed at January Is.
Any subscriber, whether former
ly taking The Defender, The Home
Defender or The New Voice, i'm
mediately renewing his subscrip-
ton to The National Prohibitionist
and sending $1.0O in payment of the
same, may, by the addition of $1.00
more, have
TWO GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS,
which he may have sent to any
friends not now subscribers for this
paper.
This is to say, in resubscribing
for The National Prohibitionist
send us $500 in all and the name
of two friends not now subscribers,
to whom you wish to give the pa
per, and each of them will receive
one full annual subscription.
This applies only to Gift Sub
scriptions and this offer will bs\
withdrawn on January Is.

denominations which go along with 1t.
Back of the evil politician and the
evil saloon has lowered the majestic
form of the brewer The money for
the saloon license, the money for the
bar fixtures, the moral and some of
the immoral support, very commonly
was provided by that wealthy and re-
spectacle person. the man who owned
the brewery which brewed the malt
extract sold in the evil saloon. Fur
Their, this same brewer had his agents
out continually looking for new places
to plant saloons irl-new residence
districts to invade, cozy corners un-
der the caves of churches or school
buildings, potential centers of vice and
riot and social decentralization. He
was eager to bring down a curse
upon a quiet neighborhood if thereby
he could increase his profits.
The fruits of this abominable policy
are nearly ripe. The more intelligent
brewers of the country have awak
ened with start to find their bust
ness threatened with enormous loss.
They are proclaiming in agitated tones
that the low saloon must go and that
they will compel it to go if the public
authorities fail to do their duty and
drive it out With all this clamor 60
ing on it is confidently expected that
even those public officials who are still
asleep will wake up presently. They
are not prone to slumber when the
brewers call for help Besides, there
is an emergency The saloon bust
ness, top-heavy with evil, is threat
ened with collapse The people are
rising against the saloon by states, by
counties, by cities They are crying
out for the enforcement of Sunday
laws and other laws affecting the sa-
loon business which for years have
been merely subjects of ridicule for
brewers and saloonkeepers and poll
ticians.
The brewers and their organs are
making the discovery that a saloon
keeper ought to be man of charac-
ter, ought to obey the laws, ought not
to harbor disreputable persons of
either sex. They say there are too
many saloons, that the bad resorts
must be weeded out and the rest made
uniformly decent. All this sounds
we'll No longer are brewers breath
ing threats against the forces which
work for the reformation of city
levees. They are trying to save them
selves, having arrived at the talking
stage of that great and necessary eff
fort Perhaps the stage of action will
come presently, The interested pub
lie will wait and see, but it should
work while waiting.
The brewers state of repentance will
last Just as long as he finds it neces-
sary to his business to be repentant
IF talk will suffice he will go on talk
inc. If action in harmony with his
mellihuous speech becomes imperative,
he will act.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-02
THE PARTY STILL
NEEDED

The Venango Daily Herald states in
admirable fashion a highly important
truth that ought not to be overlooked.
1t says:
So far from the time having come
for the Prohibitionists to turn in with
the old parties because, after hol,&
out as long as they dared, those old
parties are now getting out few
puny squirt guns with which to pre-
tend to fight a national conAagration,
the need for Prohibition party was
never so urgent as now. And most
of all, Prohibitionists will not, in this
day of the awakening of sentiment for
which they have toiled for forty years,
take the advice of one who all this
