A Lesson For The LIQUOR Men.

dorchester has voted its saloons Out
of existence. The Massachusetts city is
the largest American community that
ever has adopted the "no-license" system
'Worchester, the twenty city in
size in this country, with population OF
1900 has two large breweries and lis
licensed saloons whose doors will close
next May.
'The brewers and the liquor interests
for years had constituted the ruling poll
tical machine. They had made their
control seemingly secure by forming an
alliance with the corrupt and vicious ele-
ments of the community. Naturally,
they catered to their allies. Naturally,
they gave the city bad government.
'Their overthrow was not accomplished
by the churches. The victorious tenn
perance forces were made up Of men of
all parties and all creeds. The normal
church and prohibition vote supplement-
ed the efforts of the reformers. But the
basis of the movement was not primarily
Christian or prohibition sentiment.
1.-THE dorchester upheaval was marked
by the economic quality that has charac-
terized all the recent achievements for
the cause of temperance. Only in this
instance the opposition was reused by
disagreement, and sentiment was crystal
lized by the misdeeds of the political ma
chine.
1.-THE liquor men now complain that
the men most active in combating the
saloons were men who drink in those same
saloons. Doubtless that is true. It has
been true wherever similar battle has
been won. The formidable nature of the |
present movement lies in the very fact of
its being supported by citizens who sacri-
fee their own tastes and habits for the
sake of the general welfare.
"The vulnerable side of the liquor
mems case everywhere is that, apart
from all other merits and dement's, the
saloons always have allied themselves
With the worst elements in local politics
md always been ready to do the bidding
If the machine leaders.
1.-The present appeal of the liquor men
n all the communities that have been
by their aid, that personal
liberty" is being assailed, will fall upon
lead ears. It is question not OF person
i, but of civic, liberty. The best among
hem are paying the penalty of allowing
heir business to be allied with misgOver-
nent and the corrupt protection of vice
nd crime" ]
