writers who insist that the present sa loon is the best possible device to keep down lawlessnesS and disorder are either charlatans or fools. Man, if you want the saloon, go and vote for iJ, but don't stand up before a city of intelli- gent people with any other justification for your ballot than just this: T want my booze. and I am going to have my booze, and the public can be d-d."
 We make no accusations, yet a query continually recurs to our minds: Can those men who vote wet Saturday go home and look their wives in the face2 Can they go to the little bed that holds the chubby faces of the unsuspecting boys and honestly say to themselves; "I cast my ballot for yOu?" That is the way any decent man will vote. If wet vote means that all right. Vote it.
 If not. in Gods name in the name of decency, for your wife's sake and for the sake of your boys. vote dry.

SATURDAY SENSE.

The Phoenix public Is aroused as never before. It is certain that many who had intended to retain the saloons will vote on the other side of the ques- ton as d result of the campaign of education the temperance people have carried on.
 You cannot fool all the people all the time The liquor people have not con- Vinced the cool headed business men Of this community by their talk that pro- hibition is -American: that it does not prohibit: and that 1t is too expen- sive. We all know better. As Bob Burdette said in these columns the other day: If those men think prohi- bition does not prohibit let any one of them try to run blind pig in Pasa- dena. Prohibition does prohibit. We all believe in personal liberty and the individual is abundantly safe guarded by our constitution. But we are not anarchistic; that is all of us are not. Some things must be prohibited by law. Moreover. we have listened to weariness to all this talk about what the saloons pay the city and county. Any man with half of the amount of discernment a full grown man is sup posed to have knows that the saloons are a perpetual drain upon any com munity. That is why so many Amer ican cities are having done with them
 We may vote as we please But let us stop trying to lie to ourselves. If we want the saloons. say so, but don't come out with lot of pious rot about running these places to keep our public ,,.4g ..ta of public morals. Those preachers ahC

making ourselves acquainted more and more with the facts relative to the feeling and attitude of the people to- ward the evil.
 In 1870 there were three millions of people only living under prohibitory laws Today there are thirty three millions of people thus protected. Five states now absolutely prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors, and there are only eight states in the whole union which have not taken an advanced stand against the saloon. These facts are given us by Arthur Brisbane in the April number of the Cosmopolitan. And in addition to these figures he makes the following striking state ment: "Only England getting her daily list of dispatches during the Boer war can imagine how King Alcohol must feel as the news keeps coming"
 As the result of the enforcement of the 1iquor jaws in the city of Minne- apolis one who has investigated the matter says, that crime has decreased twenty-five per cent and the city has been saved six hundred thousand dol lars in six months.
 Glance Tor a moment at Los Angeles our nearest large city. What do We find? I quote from E. A. King of San dusky. Ohio. who has taken pains to get the facts. This city he says. has thirty-eigh cafes, and restaurants where liquor is sold. It has two hun dred saloons, besides wholesale liquor houses, and many so called blind pigs. It has raised the saloon license, from seventy-five dollars to one hundred dollars a month. It's total revenue from drink is two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars year. When it rais- ed the saloon and cafe license. it added siXty-fiVe men to the police force, which will cost an additional ninety seven thousand dollars a year. or a total of three bundred and forty seven
