ton by statute is difficult to obtain,
even in outward form, because abb
stainers and non-abstainers are
equally concerned in the enactment of
laws. And the enforcement of law
made Prohibition is still more ardu-
Gus, because citizens of differing pro-
clivities and habits are found among
the police, on the juries and on the
bench. But when an employer, seeing
the greater efficiency of abstainers, de-
crees that the permanent jobs in his
business shall go to such men absti-
nence acquires new motive and at
Effectiveness. The drinking man can
not complain that his rights are being
trampled upon by this office rule, as
he plausibly may under a Prohibition
law. The employer simply asserts his
right to pick the men whom he thinks
best fitted for his business. If he

could well protest. If applicants for

places resent the rule they are free
to seek employment where drinking
is not supposed to be detrimental.
The fact that many railroads and other
large industrial corporations have
adopted policies much like that of the
Northwestern may have more impor-
tant consequences than all the Pro-
hibition laws ever enacted.
If the Tribme's philosophizing had a
basis in fact, it would be open to very
serious criticism. The signing of a
temperance pledge by no means takes
the place of prohibitory legislation. If
the twenty-five thousand railroad en-
ployees had signed the temperance
pledge, they would have gone forth,
many of them, to be tempted, and many
of them unquestionably to fall because
of the temptation of innumerable sa-
looms. They still would have remained
members of a community that is tax
ridden because of saloons; they still
would have shared the economic dis
asters that the waste of wealth in the
saloon entails, alike upon the man who

ADVICE THAT is TOO LATE

The Philadelphia Ledger, in an edi-
torial which, unfortunately, it does not
mark to tell us whether it was paid for
by the liquor interests, like the editorials
which that paper ran in the famous Pro-
hibition campaign in Pennsylvania, com
ments upon the attempts of saloonkeep-
ers i'll the Tennessee cities, where liquor
selling is still allowed, to give respecta-
bility to their business and remarks:
The Chattanooga saloon men took
the most sensible course. The
saloons showed respect for the best
sentiment. The lesson should not be
lost in the North. Liquor dealers
ought, in their own interest, to be
foremost in the movement to enforce,
Sunday laws and all other regulations
designed to reduce disorder. Not until
they are regarded as a force in CO.
operation with the sentiment of good
behavior will they be safe from the
crusade of Prohibition.
The Ledger seems to have failed to
discover, what ought to be patent to the
most casual observer, that the saloon
keepers position is properly described
in the phrase that used to have currency
in oldtime theological discussion, Its
damned if you do and damned if you
don't"
In other words, the saloon may clean
up just as much as it pleases and may
reform" until it fancies itself an angel
of light, the movement against it will
not cease in the slightest. 1t will never
be safe from the crusade of Prohibi-
ton" 1t is too late to talk about terms
the ultimatum is in; it reads, "Uncon-
ditional surrender" and we are already
moving on the works.

THE RECONNAISSANCE

onstrate its folly and mpractcability;
which demonstration is found in the TACT
that by. far the greater number of states
and cities in which Prohibition has been
tried have abandoned it and returned to
the system of regulation by license. Pro
hibition drives, sends, or in some manner
impels the young men to the lawleSS dens,
to the blind tigers and tgeresses. 1t does
not, will not never has, improved moral
conditions"
AS for Mr.. Roebling, his remarks are
highly amusing If the poor man were
acquainted with the facts he would know
that there are more blind tigers" and
"tigresses" in either New York or Chi
cago, with their thousands of high
license saloons, than there are in all the
Prohibition territory of the United
States, and that there is no excuse for
any place for the unlawful sale of liquor
anywhere. The officers of Asheville can
prevent the sale of liquor there, if they
desire to do so, and the people can have
officers who will desire to do so, if the
people will choose to have such officers.
In point of fact, under the most poorly
enforced Prohibition in the world, the
liquor traffic never offers young men
half the temptations that it presents UNI
der the best enforced regulation that
has ever been exhibited
incidentally it is to be remarked that
the Presbyterian Home Missionary So
ciety has done itself great credit in re-
fusing to accept-if we may believe the
dispatches-the property that Mr.. Roeb
ling attempted to give to it as a part
of his program of ostentatiously leav
ing Asheville. Since Mr. Roebling has
found another church with less Ar
science in the matter, it probably has

A PROHIBITION" THAT NEVER
PROHIBITED

A good deal of attention has been
attracted by the newspaper dispatches
to the effect that some twenty-five thou
sand employees of the Northwestern
Railroad have signed the temperance
pledge during the past few weeks, in
view of notice which had been given
out that large reduction was to take
place in the force of the road and that
drinking men would be discharged and
total abstainers retained AT the office
of the Northwestern, in this city, I'M
fortunately, the story is pronounced a
fake" and the opinion expressed that
some newspaper man had had an extra
drink before it was written. The edi-
torial comments, however, which have
appeared are interesting Some half
dozen prominent papers have talked
about it as an instance of Prohibition"
utterly confusing the question and illus
trating the impossibility, even at this
late day, of getting the average daily
newspaper man to comprehend the facts
or the Prohibition movement.
The New York Tribune, after reciting
the story and mentioning the fact that
some of the southern states have adopted
prohibitory laws, says:
Of these two Prohibition campaigns
we prefer the northern one It's adj
vantages appear both in the efficacy of
its tactics and in its freedom from
any suspicion of injustice, Prohibi-

jorities the duty of using their power
temporarily and with due regard to
the claims and rights of minorities
The possibility of tyrannical and in
tolerable use, or abuse, of power by
majorities was regarded by DeTocque-
vile as the greatest danger confront
ing the American democracy.
Asheville will be sorry to lose Mr..
Roebling, and will be still sorrier
should his example prove infectious.
He has resided in the place for ten
years, spending great deal of money,
mainly in the community, in improv-
ing and identifying his magnificent es-
tate. He is believer in temperance,
and his idea is to promote it by regu-
lating intemperance and by the sys-
tenn of high license. He is equally op-
posed to the tough saloon that results
from lack of regulation, and to the
skulking blind tiger" that is bred of
Prohibition
AS for Prohibition he has this to
say to Asheville, and it will doubtless
get serious consideration when the re-
action against intemperance in legisla-
ton sets in:

drinks and the man who never drinks.
What a glorious thing it would be
if we could force the editors of some
of our daily papers to take a course of
reading with the Intercollegiate Pro-
hibition Association and really lear
something about a subject upon which
they feel forced to write so much out
of the abyssmal depths of their profound
ignorance.

that such acceptance entails on ma

Just look for a moment at the facts
The keeping open was admitted, and
the court at least twice told the liti=
giants that it held the law of the state

cago. Yet the court decided to give

court with backbone enough to com

when the offense was admitted, would
have assessed the fine provided by the
statute and left the defense to appeal

statement made afterward to the jury
foreman, being that the law is dead
