LOUISVILLE'S DRY" SUNDAY
[From the Battle of the Bottle in the
Saturday EUening Post.7

For years it had been noisily asserted
that Sunday closing could not be en-
forced in Louisville-that the sovereign
state of Kentucky had no arm long
enough to reach into the free city
Mayor Bingham had a different idea
he is man of ideas With the very
same weapons which had rusted in his
predecessors hands he did close the sa-
looms and kept them closed The same
police force, the same Board of Public
Safety were moulded into an engine of
might at the behest of one man who was
honest, courageous, and meant what he
said.
The effect of Sunday closing was seen
at once. Labor conditions began to i'm
prove. For instance, there is a large
manufacturing establishment in Louis
vile engaged in making pipe They work
men in squads. If one or two men are
missing that squad would be killed.
When the saloons were open on Sun
day about forty percent of the men did
not come back Monday, and broken
squads of sober men lay idle The man
ufacturer got five days work each week
out of these men, who were all negroes.
Since the saloons were closed on Sun
day these negroes all go back to work
on Monday morning and there has been
no trouble.
The Avery Plough company works
fourteen hundred men, and the same
Improvement is true as to them 1t was
an old Monday morning story
And this is why the business interests
of Louisville demand a continued en-
forcement of the law. Crime was greatly
reduced. At first, the opponents of the
new regime pointed to the increased
number of cases in the city court on
Monday morning-an undeniable fact
But this was because men were being

Personal Liberty"
[From the Northeastern Christian Id
UOcdte
UOcdte.

1t is amazing that law-abiding and
law-respecting citizens of foreign de-
scent can be deluded into support of the
s&oon by the cry of personal liberty
: The personal liberty which the saloon
keeper seeks, and which he has in a
measure made them believe is in peril,
is simply personal liberty for him to
enrich himself at their expense and the
expense of their children, whose char
acter he would willingly destroy, and
in many instances has destroyed, in
order that he may get their money.

AMERICAS WEAPONLESS
MOTHERHOOD
BY the REV. DIR. ANNA HOWARD
SHAW.

Talk to women about keeping the chill
dren off the street! What can a man
be thinking of who stands out in the
street, and, looking over across the
street, sees his own door open and one
of his own children putting its head out,
and then stands "shooing' him back,
saying: GO back, go back to your
mothers home; don't dare to come out
on your fathers street, for if you do
you are lost And if you are lost it is
not your fathers fault, it is your
mothers fault for letting you out"
Now that is the cry which we women
all over this country have heard.
One of two things is true: Either the
men of this country can keep the streets
safe and clean for their children, or else
they cannot They either can or they
cannot. That is, the men would keep
the streets safe and clean for their
children if they could, but they cannot;
or else they could keep their streets safe
and clean for their children if they
would, but they won't Now, which way
is it?
If they would, and cannot, then in
stead of crying out to the women to
keep the children at home because the
streets are unsafe and the children are
safe only at home, how much better
would it be to cry out to the women,
Come out of the homes which you have
made safe and help us to make the
streets safe, because we cannot make
them safe ourselves"
If the men could make the streets
safe and clean without women and still
will not do it, then the women, under
God, are bound to go out and help the
men to make them clean, whether the
men want them to or not.
For, if there is any right which a
woman has under God, it is the right
to protect her children from any form
of degradation and vice, legalized or
unlegalized; and if the government of
the country legalizes homes of iniquity
and vice whose existence depends upon
the degradation of the childhood of this
country, then there is no mother-heart
so mean that it will sit patiently under
such conditions and raise no word of
protest. If there is, she isn't mother;
she is only woman who has borne
children.
The time has come when the women
of this country have the right to protest
against the iniquitous conditions which
surround the home and child-life of the
land. God never placed upon any hu-
man being an obligation but that He in
tended that that human being should
have the power to comply with the con-
ditions and the obligations, and when
God laid upon women the obligation
of motherhood and child-rearing, He
intended that they should have the power
to protect themselves in their motherhood
and protect their children in their rear
ing; and if there are forces today which
prevent this action on the part of the
mothers, then it is the business of the

According to Milwaukee papers, Con
gresham Gustav Kuestermann of Green
Bay, passed through that city the other
day, weeping great scalding tears over
the terrible results of the abolition of
the canteen, and loudly announcing that
he has devoted himself to the work of
its restoration. Mr. Kuestermann is
evidently the kind of coon dog that
does not know when his tree is empty.
Milwaukee has liquor dealers asso-
citation formed for the purpose of "ele
waiting the saloon business" The presi-
dent announces that the organization
will not necessarily try. to put the dives
out of business, but will not admit dive
keepers to membership.
Mr. John Roebling, a wealthy New
Yorker, who owns property at Asheville,
N. c., has ostentatiously given away
his property to a missionary society ana
shaken off the dust of "dry" Asheville
from his feet, in the name of temperance,
since, as he declares, Prohibition, which
Asheville has adopted, will ''drive young
men to the dives and blind tigers" 1t
is very safe to guess that Mr. Roebling
is himself very fond of the kind of stuff
that they sell at blind tigers. There is
no other explanation of his indignant
withdrawal from "the land of the sky"
