Vile Things Made Precious

The of necessities is strange
That make vile things precious.
Shakespeare, in King Lear
This situation apty describes the attitude of those
who defend the liquor traffic. For alleged necessities
the manufacture sale and consumption of liquor have
been suffered to go on. Time and again it has been
demonstrated that looking at ntemperance in purely
economic light it does not pay to have saloons. But
the vile thing becomes precious in the eyes of those
who selfish, for they will continue to rob women
and children of the necessities of life and to compel
men to dress in rags, all because the money derived
from the evil business. There is nothing exempt from
the graspng, greedy liquor seller nothing sacred
to prevent his despoing it for the sake of personal
gain.
Nor is the government blameless. Years ago
when extraordinary efforts to raise money had to be
TAKEN there crept into the idea of icens
ing the liquor traffic for The states too
that there could be raised thousands of dollars
from suffering steal other mems dollars brains
and characters. So the vile thing made use of to
cover necessity. Liquor have seen plainly all
these years that their business in danger of abso
lute unconditional extinction and they have made
of the argument of tax and license hoping thereby to
stay the day of the final overthrow of alcohol.
In taking money from the liquor business we have
only partaken of the guilt of the business, but
have made very bad bargain, the awfulness of which
we have begun to see. We have learned that thereby
have spent several dollars for every dollar of
received to say nothing of the great waste of pro-
ductve power of drinkers the loss from the labor and
capital put into the bad business which might have
been used to good advantage in legitimate lines, and
the useless, shameful throwing away of good grain
and other materials For day after day. it is becoming
apparent that there is absolutely good thing
in the liquor business, gain the community in any
way, but positive loss.

Does Not Go Far Enough
The story is going the rounds of saloonkeeper
in Michigan county who was elected supervisor for
his township. On investigation he found that it cost
his county $4,000 year to relieve poverty caused by
drunkenness he had the board hire special officer
who hunted the habtual drunkards, warned them to
stop drinking and if they failed to do so the officer
secured their pictures and filed copies with each of the
three hundred saoonkeepers in the county with orders
that liquor should not be sold these
In seven months, according to the story, the Off
visited ninety men, and eightyfour of them quit
drinking, and the officer figures that the county has
saved ST. 1000 in relief money
We give the saoonkeeper credit for the good he
is trying do but have little faith in final results If
the three hundred saloons permitted to remain in
the county it is safe to say some of them will induce
these eighty-four men, many of them possible
to again take up the drink habit The average saloon
keeper sells to every person who has the price
If the people of that Michigan county would do
the sensible thing they would close up the three hun
dred Saloons and then they would practically all
of that $4,000, and not only would the habitual
drunkard stand better chance of remaining SOBER
but hundreds of young would be kept from start
ing the road which leads to drunkenness.
1t all the saloons and hquor-mak1ng establish
ments in the world abolished we suppose few
old nebrates would still find illicit of OBJ
tanning intoxcants. But thereby would save the
corruption and ruin of the boys who coming
For the saloon would die of dry rot if it had new
material on which to work. Save the boys and you will
have no old topers.
There is humiliating, pitiable spectacle
than that of a good man who still clings to the idea
that there may be some justification in accepting Ii
for the sale of liquor.

Columbus, O., Nov. 6.--Defeated
but far from discouraged President
Taft already has formed plans for
holding together and strengthening
the Republican party. The plans
are indefinite and still vague but he
declared tonight to friends who ac-
companied him north from Cincin-
natl that the party will continue
to exist, that it will be as active as
in the past and that there is no rea-
son to believe that Is chances of fu-
ure success are not excellent.
So far as the Presidents plan is
concerned he hopes to see organized
a National Republican Club" en-
tirely apart from the Republican
National Committee, which shall
cherish the principles of the party
and be u source of political activity
not only during election years but
at all times. The President spoke
of the Republican club Of New York
and other organizations similar in
character and expressed the belief
that through these clubs interest and
loyalty could be kept alive.

Cost Of Roosevelt Boom to Date EN-
ceeds the Cost Of the Last
National Campaign.

The financial hackers OF Theodore
Roosevelt have expended to date near
ly Sl,000,0O0 in an endeavor to re-
nominate the former president for a
third term. How this money is used
and where it comes from is of inter.
est to all citizens.
In Oklahoma the charge has been
made that the Roosevelt managers
paid SIS a vote to delegates to con-
ventions. This is the state where Mr..
Roosevelt said there was a genuine
primary"
The same crew" has since
worked" Kansas and Nebraska and
is now in Arkansas, as witness the
following telegram:
Roosevelt managers are using
money under the guise of paying
wages to workers, another name for
bribery"
In Pennsylvania, instead OF stand
ing at the polls and handing each
Roosevelt voter a IS bill, due bills
were issued calling for this amount
which were collected at headquarters
when countersigned by the district
leaders. 1t is estimated that 500, 900
was expended in this manner. This
would reach" 10000 voters.
In New York county the Roosevelt
managers expended a quarter of q
million dollars. One district leader
paid $4,000 out of his own pocket in
his own district, on promise OF reim-
bursement besides what headquarters
sent him.
In Chicago two men contributed
$1,000 for use in one district on pri-
mary day and 5000 was offered eight
precinct captains to desert Taft.
Where is the money coming from!
George W. Perkins, director of the
International Harvester company and
Of the United States Steel corpora
ton, neither of whom Theodore
Roosevelt ever harmed, but on the
contrary defended as president and
defends now is the head of the bar
rel" Frank A. Munsey, large hold
er of steel common stock, is a close
second. In addition Clifford Pinchot,
John F. Bass of New Hampshire, who
ran the Roosevelt campaign in North
Dakota Governor Chase Osborne and
Truman H. Newberry of Michigan;
ChauncCy Dewey and Alexander H.
Revell Of Chicago; Thomas Niedring-
haus and Walter Dickey of Missouri
and host Of others in the Roose-
welt fold are millionaires or multi
millionaires. Incidentally Theodore
Roosevelt himself has made a million
dollars since his return from Africa.
He once said mo man could make a
million dollars honestly in a life
