8. An economic asset is an
alert, active and courageous
public sentiment.

Do saloon keepers and the saloon
element aid in exalting good citizen
ship, personal and civic righteousness?
Do they stand for purity of the bal
lot, freedom from the lobby, absence
OF intimidation? Do they assist in
securing the best men and support
them in a fearless loyalty to their
oaths OF office? Does the presence of
the saloon make easy a protest against

the pad man to be bad?

ignorance and depravity, to-

exist.
Does the saloon know pity or re-

Does il seek to mitigate poverty, less

refined and cultured society
and reputation for the same.

Do saloons make for innocence, pur-
