Bad For Brewing Business.

At the recent meeting Of the New
Jersey State Brewers association in the
city of Newark, while a dozen or more
of the party were seated at lunch II was
noticed that none were served with al
coholic beverages but drank vichy or
apolinaris instead The somewhat
bumptious young president of a Jersey
City brewery came into the lunch room,
and looking over the table remarked,
rs this a Prohibition convention? L
won't sit with such a crowd and took
a seat at another table, and promptly
ordered. beer to be served. With a
laugh the others cried, We're sorry

Bryan's Great Temperance speech.

about fairness in regard TO saloons,
whereas If you will read the lexicon Of
the saIoonkeeper. there are two words
that do not appear. fairness and jus
tice.' There is no fairness or justice
about the saloon, and you might as
well understand that these words can't
be used OF the liquor business.
"A saloon at the best is a nuisance
and never tolerated except as neces-
sary nuisance. Nobody defends the
saloon. they apologize for it, but they
never defend it. You can't find a state
in the union or a part of state where
the people asking for saloon ever
urge it as a moral center, an educa-
tional institution or an economic asset
1T is understood that the saloon is
not a blessing. Go and examine the
homes of your great liquor dealers, the
rich ones, and see how near they are to
a saloon. Go with a petition and ask
them to join with you in putting saloon
near their residence, and they are the
last ones to do it, They will put
saloon by the house of a poor man and
not only deprive his property of value,
but run the risk of running those about
the saloon. but they do not put il near
their own homes. .
The saloon is not a good thing. 1t
is center of vice and crime. 1t is
the first place police officer goes
when he is looking for a criminal and
it is the first place closed when there
is a riot in town II is a bureau Of in
formation on every vice, and only toll
Grated for fear IL you close it you will
have something worse than the saloon.
Remember that the saloon is on the
defensive, that it is on the retreat, that
nothing can be said in its favor and
that it must be content 70 be allowed
to live under such restrictions as the
people think are necessary for the pro-
lection OF society"
