Whisky Paper Jabs Saloons

Of course, when an Anti-Saoon League speaker
writer says anything against the saloon business he's
fanatic' liar whatever the liquor crowd
chooses to call him Well here few paragraphs from
a whisky paper which show up the business in about
bad light as it's worst enemies could do
These paragraphs from the Champion Of Fair Play
of November 81:
cit is because saloon keepers have not kept the
law that their business appears Objectionable If they
take firm stand the side of law and order there will
be great change in the retail liquor trade.
''Some saloon keepers have signed written agree
ment to assist in the strict enforcement Of the law by
informing any other saloonkeeper who attempts to
violate it.
s|Saloon keepers make mistake when they invade
local option territory. These little attempts many
people to fight the whole business. The law should be
respected petty violations afford opportunities fol-
grating and the public confidence in it is mistaken.
''Saloon keepers should realize that much OF the pub
lie sentiment against the traffic grows out OF the abuses
of the business which keeps the public in irritated
state of mind Other lines of business unable to
why they should be required to observe the laws and
ordinances while the saloon ignores the law.

pledge themselves to uphold the law and drive the bad

say that much Of the agitation against the liquor traffic

inflicted the slaves by way of punishment. An Irish
man in the crowd wanted to know whether Douglass

interrupted and asked
''Did they punish you with thin thumbscrews?"

MONEY TALKS
Why Many People are Poor, and
How They May Get Ahead

Most people would have more money
and would get ahead faster in the
world II they would only set proper
value on the little things.
Now nickel isn't very big, and
a dime or a quarter are not much big
ger, and so pe pie who do not stop
to. think spend nickel to-day for
some things they do not need at all.
What's a Siokel. anyway, they say,
and tomorrow a quarter goes for
something they would be better off
without. And in this way the small
change slips through their fingers
from day to day, and they have moth
ing at all to show for It.
All these people would like TO be
rich. and they mean to begin to save
money some day. II you speak to
them about saving and getting ahead
in the world. they will tell you that
by and by, as soon as they get ten
dollars or hundred dollars together,
they aim to Put It in tho bank and
save II.
But they never get the hundred dol
lars % make the start because It all
slips through their fingers a nickel
or a dime or a quarter at time. and
they cont knows where II gees to.
Don't look down on the small be-
ginning Put dollar in the bank now
and from now on keep the small
change and from time to time put II
in with the dollar. and as the months
and wears 60 bv YOU win be getting
ahead In fhe world.
