THE BREWERS

There is something really pathetic in the re-
ports OF the brewers convention at Milwaukee.
The reader feels almost as he might expect to
feel in the death chamber of condemned GRIM
inal, listening to his protestations of innocence
and his pattering forth of prayers and promises
of reform, if his miserable life may only be
spared. The brewers evidently realize, at length,
that, in the language of the street, they are "up
against it, The illusion that it wasn't "going to
be much of shower" is entirely removed. The
men who for decades have been amassing enor-
nous fortunes and rolling in luxury from the
product of the toll and sweat and suffering and
starvation of their Victims see close before them
the overthrow of their business and the dread
necessity of undertaking honest work.
Perhaps the brewers labor under the impression
that their platform will impress the public. If
so, they are plunging themselves into another de-
fusion. Their protestations of innocence all hon
est men know to be false. The brewing interests
have been and today are in large part responsible
for the most disgraceful infamies of the worst
saloons and dives No one who has ever been
engaged in law enforcement work has failed to
discover that when the reformer strikes the dive
keeper or the madame" he finds the brewer
striking back
Their promises of reform have as little weight.
Probably the brewers will sacrifice few of their
dsreputable allies upon the altar of what they
believe to be public opinion. A few low-browed
villains who run VIGOROUSLY vicious places will
have to retire little further from public OBJ
servation. Perhaps we shall see the elegant signs
advertising this or that brand of the brewers
product removed from the fronts of few in
famous resorts But that there will be any con-
siderable change in the real character of the sa-
loon business one for moment believes.
And, after all, the brewers have misinterpreted
the real ground of public hostility to their bust
ness. They might have found valuable parallels
that would have instructed them Have they not
noticed that although there are dishonest grocers,
no one clamors for the abolition of the grocery

AND you i?

AMI NV
In hours of national crisis, when every
man who can shoulder musket or can swing
saber is called to the field, there are admit
tedly some men who have valid excuse for
failure to respond to the call. But if the
crisis be great, if the peril be dire, if national
life and death are at issue, then certainly for
no light reason can any man be excused.
We would not speak as alarmists. Our
state of mind is as far as possible away from
anything that savors of rashness or ranting
And in all sober seriousness we here say to
our fellow citizens that we believe this hour
to be one of the most critical of the crises in
American history.
A great question which has been before the
American people for more than half CEN
fury is ''upon notion" With the passage of
a few weeks-so few that one may count them
on the fingers of his hands-the action will
have been taken by the American electorate
that will, in unmistakable terms, say to the
liquor traffic: "Get hence forever" or will
sound truce and parley and renew the damn
able lease that gives perpetuity to the bust
ness of selling alcoholic poison.
We are not talking about the possibility of
electing the Prohibition candidate for Presi-
dent on the third day of next November We
do not need to elect our candidate for Presi-
dent to seal the doom of the drink traffic, but
we do need on that day to let it be known to
all men that that organized opposition to the
drink traffic, known as the Prohibition party,
has grown to full stature and gathered to it
self mature strength and is prepared to strike
the death blow of the liquor traffic In other
words, it is absolutely essential, not merely
for the party's life, but for the sake of the
movement and for the speedy contamination
of the reform, that the Prohibition party poll
an enormous vote on the third day of next
November.
And are you excused from the struggle to
win that great vote? Is yours the sorry lot
of the disabled and the unfortunate who must
stay in the rear while their comrades go

BRISBANE'S FOLLY

BRISBANE'S FOLLY
If we remember correctly, it was BEEcHER who
said that some men never make fools of them
selves" because God saved them the trouble"
We recall the remark as we read over ARTHUR
BR1sBANE's address to the brewers at Milwaukee.
Yet we doubt it's applicability. God never made
ARTHUR BRISBANE fool.
But some of the things that Mr.. BRISBANE
said in that speech no man who was not fool
could honestly say.
Did Mr.. BRISBANE expect that even brewer
would believe him when he said that in four
years residence in Paris he saw less drunken
than he saw in one day in Topeka, Kansas?
To be sure if pressed for an explanation, Mr..
BRISBANE might say that he not looking for
drunkards in Paris or might even admit that
while in that city he was not always in cond-
ton to recognize drunk man. But, even SO,
the statement is not explicable in any way that
saves Mr.. BR1sBANE's reputation for veracity.
Of Mr.. BR1sBANEs estimate of the Prohibi-
tionists with whom he has talked we will say
nothing further than to suggest that he may
have been unfortunate in his meetings. In our
own mind-possibly owing to our own lack of
Education of the BRISBANE sort-we feel quite
certain that we know good many Prohibitionists
lndl nave trdVeleQ as widely, seen OtHer lanQS
as much and have read history as deeply and
with as open minds as Mr.. BRISBANE.
When Mr. BRISBANE says that he does not know
a name of total abstainer who "ever made a
mark in history as scientist or general or states
man, or who is taught to the students of the
land" we should be inclined to attribute it to
an error of the reporter, did we not remember
that in one of his high-priced editorials, few
years ago, he counted WESLEY among the famous
drunkards of history.
But what are the facts?
Total abstinence has been the habit of only
very few of the race until within the past 100
years. Yet within that period there have been
many illustrious teetotalers. t@s.
LINCOLN total abstainer, and WILSON
and WINDOW and CoLFAx, and more American
statesmen than could record on this page,
including WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, whose place
among great Americans even Mr.. BRISBANE will
hardly dispute.
Among soldiers, ROBERT E. LEE was practically
If not absolutely, total abstainer, and OLIVER 0.
HOWARD and "SToNEwALL" JACKSON were tee
totalers of the most pronounced type, while many
others could be counted

ROMAN TEMPLE
OF NEPTUNE IS
BLOWN TO PIECES

Rome, Dec 31-The temple of Nep-
tune, built by Hadrian, and standing
in the center of the forum Of Agrippa,
now occupied by the stock exchange,
was the scene this afternoon of
tremendous explosion, causing a sen
sation almost as great as the explo-
sion of the bomb in ST. Peters on
Nov. IS, 1906. The conclusion was
50 great that many persons through
out the city were terrified and great
crowds rushed to the scene. Within
the building We're many, people, but
fortunately a great majority of the
brokers had left.
The explosion resulted in tn ecol
lapse of the roof of the exchange and
number of those injured were
caught in the wreckage, but later We're
released by the firemen.
Although the first impressions were
that the explosion was caused by a
bomb thrown by someone who wished
either to prevent the end of month
liquidation or to take advantage of
the confusion to commit extensive
theft, but it was generally accepted
later that the disaster came from an
explosion of gas. Officials, however,
who made the investigation do not
admit such a possibility, but as there
is no evidence to sho what a bomb
was thrown, the probability of the
gas explosion has been given out by
the police.
The detonation was terrific, and
when the roof f5k ssouds of dust were
thrown high in the air.
Police, firemen and troops hurried
to the scene and had difficulty in calm
ing the thousands who rushed to the
temple. Later when another explo-
sion was feared, the crowd again be-
came panic-stricken and many persons
received minor injuries resulting from
the crush.
