They are Closed for Good

The Atlanta (Georga) Constitution says EDITORIAL
n it's issue of January 3:
lit may be accepted settled fact that what
system Of regulation Georgia may ultimately
see fit to apply to the trade in bottle and package
not to be consumed on the premises, which exists in
the state in degree but little abated the saloon has
gone for good and those who are even remotely
anticipating it's return indulging fatuous
hope.
''The saloon of the chief agencies in the
consumption of intoxicants; it's presence in
vitation to the easy and frequent indulgence in the
social drink.
emo better proof is obtainable of it's evil influence
in the community, considering the fact that liquor
in wholesale quantities is about as easy to get as
ever.
Georgia may may not determine in the future
to regulate that feature of the traffic which now
exists unregulated and unrestrained, and without
to the state, but whatever the state may do
in that direction the saloon cannot come back.
'sIt is gone forever from Georgia!''

Muzzling the Press

In charge to the Federal grand jury at New Orleans
Judge e. D. Saunders thus commented upon alleged
attempt Of the liquor to influence advertisers of the
New Orleans TmesDemocrat to boycott that paper be-
it's policies not acceptable to the saloon
''The conspiracy you will investigate is, I believe,
started by what might be termed the criminal nursery of
the city There certain businesses carried every
city, which, while not being criminal in themselves,
the great nurseries of crime.
"Certan of such business have taken offense
against the sDemocrat for it's position certain
public questions and in order to destroy its influence
they trying to destroy the business Of the paper
''I cannot imagine greater crime than this as the
criminals trying to destroy the free discussion of
questions Of interest to the welfare of the city We can
not permit quascrimina element to dictate what the
papers Of the city shall say
Our attention has been called to the fact that Michael
Hannah convicted of violating the local option law in

Can You See 1t ReCede?


In summing up the situation to the anti-saloon
movement, looking back over 1908 and forward into
the coming year, The American Issue calls attention to
the fact that tyseven counties in Ohio voted dry under
the Rose county option law expeng 1902 saloons dur
ing 1908, while over one hundred saloons closed by
other laws making two thousand in Ohio removed
during the year. There are now slxtytwo OF Ohlo's
lightweight counties which are dry containing
half the population of the state
-Four states during the year adopted statewide prohi
bition-Georga, Mississippi, North Carolina and Ala
bama This year there will be legislative fights in eight
other states for statewide prohibition. This does not
include Tennessee which has just adopted state wide
prohibition Texas and possibly Washington and Idaho
and probably West Virginia will go dry. Under the
county local option law of Indiana, enacted in the last
legislature the first three counties have just voted and
all have gone dry, closing forty saloons.
It will be recalled that thirty counties of Illinois
expelled saloons last year by local option Since June
1908 Maine has gone record in favor OF state prohl
bition Delaware has declared for local option, Okla
homa has closed out her dspensay system and returned
to prohibition pure and simple. A large number Of
other states between twenty and thirty have effected
temperance legislation against the saloon, while not
SIM gle state has passed statute in their aid.
Reports up to within few days since to the Anti
Saloon League of America from twenty two states, place
the number Of saloons thus put out OF business during
last year at 1914 while additions from other states will
bring the number of saloons expelled in round numbers,
in the neghborhood of II 900 during 1905 adding 1885,
600 square miles in area and 100000 in population to
the dry territory. There now, in round numbers,
forty million people living in prohibition territory in the
United States as contrasted with about three million
in 1870 Beginning with January 1909, there are nine
prohibition states including Tennessee.

The Pain Made Her Faint.

"For almost four years 1 had a sore
on my leg," says Mrs. Olive Hurd of
Madison, N. H., "and this spring a
doctor healed it up. I felt fine for
about month but had to be on my
feet good deal and above my knee
came a swelling as big as my fist. 1t
hung down and was a red as if : it 15 had 3
hardly get around. The cords of my
leg seemed to be stiff and the pain was
so bad at times that it made me faint.
One of the neighbors told me about
Sloan's Liniment so got bottle and
put some right on. Next morning I
could walk ever so much better and |
kept right on using the Llniment night
and morning. 1t took down all the
swelling, and the redness and soreness
have gone too. I shall never be with
out Sloan's Linimet in the house again

Events follow each other in rapid

out extra charge, are daily enacted.
At first Mccarthy finds fault with
Treiters cigars-not made right, not
finished well-though in reality they
were made much better than some of
the other workmens, and when Nc
Carthy tells him that his cigars are
not fit for Jerusalem, such helpless
and unhappy look passes over Treitels
face as the look of a criminal when he
is caught in the performance of that
action which will ultimately leave
him minus his head. The workmen

able, calls him out for fight in ap-

screams over the shop 20 Jesus

breath. The heavy-set fellow with
the earnest, wondering eyes, laughs
hoarsely.
And Nachoum Treitel? His face as
sumes a jaded, frightened look when
Mccarthy passes his fists near his
short-sighted eyes, and when they APP
proach still nearer, his eyes tremble
and all the while he smiles with such
a smile which resembles a dumb mans
cry.

When | counsel him not to allow him

he shrugs his shoulders and replies:
Take offense at a goy-chazer? How
can l help it? A Jew is in exile"
Just so he does not lose his job!
The longer he works there, the
more often is he made the butt of
all jokes. Once during the dinner
hour a German shoves a piece of pork
into his hand and much laughter en-
sues when it is observed with what a
gesture of repugnance and aversion he
thrusts it from him just as if it were
a burning coal which had scorched his
hand

asking, "How DO you do, Nok Trelik?'

with a submissive smile
On a certain occasion, Mccarthy
returned from dinner, drunk. His
beady little eyes full of mischief, he
walks up to Treitel boisterously, slaps
him on the shoulder and says How
do you do, Nok Trelik," and he grabs
a hold of Treitel's beard with both
hands and pulls, pulls toward the
ground. And Treitels head follows in
the direction of the source from which
the force is exerted, and when Nc

The workmen roar. Ben screams

Then, half crazed with anger, l

In the shop everything is as quiet

him to go home; he can come back

Ben naturally heeds him not, nor
pretends to hear. And with his in
