CASHING CHECKS IN SA-
LOOMS.

NASHiNU (HE Nho HN DA-
LOOMS.
One of the big railroads has issued
an order prohibiting its employees
from cashing pay checks in saloons,
under penalty of discharge. This
action is not taken wholly through
Humanitarian motives or solicitude
for the families of the men who spend
their earnings in saloons, but is In
line with the general movement OF
the railroads 10 put ban on any
and all practices which endanger
the lives and property of their pa
irons. The question of total absti-
Aence of railroad employees need not
be argued here. If the practice OF
cashing checks in saloons conflicts
with the policy of giving all possible
security to the lives of passengers
en- railroad trains, and this road ap
parsntly considers that it does,
then the action taken is merely one
Of those sensible business moves
which commend themselves auto
natieally to allright-thinking people.

concerned except the saloons. No

Ing en- him should regularly let a
bartender get the first chance at his
pay check. True, no charge is
made for cashing, but the man thus
favored knows that he is expected
to show his appreciation in bus

or business man in any town who
would not be glad to cash the checks

they involve the immediate welfare
Of others. The best cashier any
werkingman or any ether man can
find is his wife, if he is fortunate
enough to have good one. After
she makes the disbursements which
are necessary, there will not be
much left to waste in treating the
bSrhies. In the case of men who are
unmarried, there are plenty of better
ways of converting check into cash
than to spend its proceeds IN saloons.
Too many men who work hard
for their wages get the idea that all
that they earn is "heir money" and
that they are at liberty to do as they
please with all of it, those depen

all Of the political manoeuverfng Beck

Becker has an ordinance passed pro-

made for the benefit of his political
friends rather than the good of the

This can be beautifully demonstrated

to appoint union man.
