Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon of Topeka,
Kans, preacher, author, sociologist,
police commissioner-perhaps best
known to the world as "In His Steps"
Sheldon-speaking Of a recent lecture
tour said: when | spoke in Chicago
of the prospect that saloons would be
swept from the city within the life
time of nearly every one present the
applause was prolonged. Everywhere
go, even In Wisconsin where the con-
sumption of liquor is Ga gallons per
capita, | find the same quick response
to the statement"
And everywhere temperance speak
ers and workers are finding the peo'
pie ready for the final onslaught upon
the liquor traffic as the enemy not
only of the town and the city but Of
the nation. "A saloonless nation in
1920" does not seem so improbable
goal today as it did to some of them in
1911.

other patronizes saloons" That was
explanation sufficient, but this may be
added: THE seedy man is we'll edu
Gated and his wife a college graduate,
while the well dressed man has little

his money. Saloons make difference

the other going down."
