PROHIBITION AND The saloon

The fight 81 the prohibItIonists Is
directly against the saloon. the blind
tiger and against the Hquer traffic
as it is generally understood
The fight Is not against any indi-
vi5uaI who may indulge in his wine.
his beer or his toddies-
The fight Is not to restrain any III
dividual in the enjoyment Of any Of
his rights and his personal liberty,
but it is to keep closed the saloon,
which Is constant menace to peace
and order. where the wages Of men
are absorbed without beneficial re-
turns. where vice Is propagated,
where thriftlessness is encouraged;
against the eviI which strikes at the
home and flreside, which demoral-
izes labor and leads 10 poverty,
shame and degradation.
1t is sanseless to talk Of regulated
saloons.
Possibly saloons could be regulat-
ed If they were ID the control OF
some men whom Ne could name, but
The majority are aliens. some if nat
uraIIze1. have a very limited con-
eeption of the right Of citizenship
conferred upon them under the laws
of the United States.
1t IS very true there are paIpable
violations Of the law by so-eaIied
blind tigers. but these would h
impossible if the full authority oi
the law WAS directed Fernorselessly
against them.
The fight of the pr0hibiiionlsts Is
not against any individual IN his
personal capacity, but il Is to keep
the saloon closed
If the saloon Is an EVIL. and it Is.
and If its intoxlcants viii fire the
brains Of any man and when under
Ifs influence this man viii Kill and
murder and be guilty Of other IN
fractions of the law, then such evil
should be suppressed.
The law does not warrant any
man in keeping dynamite in his
home or his place Of business. and
there are specific restrictions
against the sale Oh poison. but Of al
these. which is the greatest eyii7
There are men who are h0Hest and
sincere IN their giew 0f the Feg1Ilat-
ed saloons. which from the records
have never been known 10 remain
long regulated. and Il i to these men
We would address our appeal against
the saloon.
We repeat that prohibition Is moi
intended to infringe On the rights OF
privileges Of any man. but Il IS di-
FecteG against the licensing OF the
saloon. which i an absorheF and
