a Genuine interest in reform. lfthey
were far-sighted they would nave
seen long ago that they are them
selves responsible for the growing
opposition to the saloon. So many
of those engaged in the business
have been actuated simply by the
desire to make money out OF the
business regardless of the harm done
that they have brought the entire
business under condemnation. Even
those who would like to have liquor
sold under reasonable conditions and
under restraints that would reduce
the evils of intemperance to a mini
mum are unwilling to be in partner

Liquor Dealers Protest

One of the officers of the Chicago
Liquor Dealers Protective Assocla-
tion writes The Commoner condem-
in6 the narroWness of the saloon
keeper who discontinued The Com
moner because of it's editorials on
the liouor question, and calls atten-
ton to the attitude of the liquor
dealers association on the subject OF
disorderly houses. The president OF
the association, Mr.. John W. Naskell'
says: 1T is very gratifying to De
able to announce that Mayor BuSse
has directed his chief OF police TO
forbid the sale of liquors by the own
ers of disorderly resorts and TO
forbid the use of women boosters
by saloon keepers. This means the
absolute enforcement of the hquor
traffic from prostitution and every
man who runs a.decently conducted
saloon should aid and uphold the
Anavor in his efforts to enfore TINS
ecree."
This is very good. 1t is gratifying
to have the influence of the Chicago
LIQUOR Dealers Association thrown
on the side of the mayor in the en-
forcement of the law against the
sale of liquor in disorderly houses
but the argument taken by the hquor
dealers association proves that the
position is taken not because OF any
righteous indignation OF the business
now condemned, but because the
existence of the disorderly houses IN
connection with the saloon give the
"anti-saloon orator" chance 10
hold the saloon up as "a horrible ex-
ample" In fact, the attitude OF the
organization on the subject is very
well shown by the statement IN the
letter of the president OF the assocla-
ton that 1T will be no longer be pos
sible for those pompous and swell
headed hypocrites and Pharisees
who visit disorderly houses to ex-
plain that they we're Summing, etc.

WANTS TO TALK WITH BROUGH-
TON AND ELLIS

Dear Sir:-I just can't wait any
longer-am obliged to express my
appreciation of the Jeffs.
What you are doing for the be-
nighted is ''sweeter than honey and
honeycomb'' to the old Pops. Now,
If those ignoramuses are still boiling
over for a debate, I hereby challenge
any two Of them for a joint tussle.
Will give Mr.. Ellis one hour to
open and DR.. Broughton an hour to
close. Will only want thirty minutes
between them, but the way [ will

for sale will, as the boys say, take
the bone out" Talk about sophis-
tries and slipperiness, didn't they
slip when they cited you to their own
literature that condemned them, and
did not know it. And Ellis reads
books seven years before they are
published. These jugglers ought to
get together on their tricks. Great
is Diana of the Ephesians! Their
craft is now gone. Have known a
long time that the missionary bust
ness was largely fake. Had no
confidence in it, and paid nothing to
it in many a long day. Say, is not
DR.. Broughton the Baptist who ad-
vocated the sprinkling of babies, or
of taking them into the church, sew
eral years ago?
If so, did or would coon babies be
included?
Don't let these missionary "craft"
fellows back from my challenge, or,
rather, from my acceptance Of theirs.
They may try to work the unknown
racket on me, but they can't do it,

A PLEA FOR AN AFFLICTED ONE.

Dear Sir:-Inclosed find a letter,
from a poor afflicted human being,
which will explain itself I, too, like
you, don't believe in Foreign Mis-
sions, as now operated. The reason
people in our own country, in the
shadow of our churches, are left
helpless and in the greatest destitu
ton, is because fanatics are carried
away with something way beyond
us. We now see those at our feet
who would be glad of the crumbs
that fall from our table. This poor
boy doesn't ask for Injuries in food,
he only asks that he may have
enough to sustain life. His misfor-
tune to be so terribly afflicted is
enough: it is not right that he
should have to simply beg people
for a bare living. Where are our
missionary-spirited church mem
bers? Where are the many socie-
ties that say they have a charity
fund? Where does that fund go to,
into which it's members are paying
something every month? Is it sent
to other countries? Right now, thou
sands of dollars are being sent to
the relief of Paris, and not one
sent to this poor, bed-ridden hui
man being right in our midst.
You seem to always sympathize
with those who are distressed; may
be there is something you can cause
to be done for this poor boy
With best wishes, I am
Very truly yours,
SUBSCRIBER.
