The liquor people seem to think
that because the laboring man is so
often their unfortunate victim, he
will also always be their trucking
tool. Never did they make a greater
mistake. They underestimate his
manliness and his devotion to his fam
lily and country. The miner, with a
courage never shown by liquorite,
goes down into the depths of the
black pit, Drawing all its dangers and
horrors, for the love of the family he
supports. The iron worker, with
dauntless heroism, tolls with sweat
and aching back among the blast
furnaces with their hell of binding
heat, for the love of the family he sup
ports. The railroad operative, with
frightened teeth, p1unges out into the
blackness of the night on two threads
of steel with the specter of Death
reaching for him at every curve and
trestle, for the love of the family he
supports The lumberman, with iron
nerve, draws his rough coat more
tightly about him, and steps into the
teeth of the wintry blasts, faces all the
dangers and hardships of the forests
and SHOWS and ripping machinery,
for the love of the family he supports.
And so, in a thousand ways, the
laboring man faces every danger, en-
dures every hardship, bears every
burden, meets every Encouragement,
encounters every temptation, suffers
every pain, and yet, through it all,

rifice every dollar of his earnings and
every interest of himself and family
to crafty the Unsuitable thirst and en-
rich the dram-seller? Do you think
he has no virtue, no courage, no man
ly impulses, no love of his home, no
aspirations for his children, no desire
to better his and their conditions?
What do they think the laboring man
is, anyhow? Don't they think he is
man with manly pride and hopes
and aspirations? Do they think he is
only a common hog with desire to
keep his nose in the beer swill trough
all his life? Why should the brewers
and distillers insist upon the laboring
man voting against the ratification of
the prohibition amendment and plac-
ing saloons at his doors? Why do
they insist upon laboring men doing
this more than bankers, lawyers, mer-
chants or manufacturers?
Have they not plundered the labor
ing man and his family long enough?
Have they not sucked his life blood
thoroughly enough now? What more
do they want?
When the liquor people, by their
artless appeals to the laboring man,
clamor for his vote against the ratif-
cation of the prohibition amendment,
l insist that they forget that the
laboring man has brains and manhood
and patriotism and character and af-
lection for his family and devotion to
his country's flag.

Is there a menace in the tremendous
growth and development of the Ameri
can city? Many who are interested in
humanitys struggles and manhood's
betterment, believe so. Frequently sta
tistics show the city to be the leader in
crime, poverty and insanity. 1t is we'll
known, too, that the cities, not the rural
districts, furnish the immigration, race
and economic problems. Josiah Strong
has seen this proposition clearly in his
book, "The Problem of the City," DR..
Charles Stelzle adds his finding as fol-
lows:
"The plea that big cities are bad for
the people is not new one. Aristotle
limited the ideal city to 10000 inhabi
tants. Plutarch and Cicero sought by
persuasion to turn back the current of
emigration which came from the coun-
try. Justinian tried to stop it by legal
measures. The Tudors and the Stuarts
issued proclamations forbidding the
erection of new houses in London, en-
joining the country people to return to
their homes. But persuasion and legis-
1ation were both in vain The city has
developed in spite of the teaching of
philosophers and the edicts of rulers be-
cause the growth of populations and
their manner of making living are
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1912-10-18
Growth of the City

determined by certain forces over
which neither kings nor philosophers
have ultimate control.
"The census returns just completed
give some very interesting figures with
reference to the growth of the city in
the United States during the years
from 1900 to 1910 The population as
whole increased Fl per cent, but the
cities of $4,000 and over increased S
per cent, whereas the rural population
increased only about II per cent. Near
ly so per cent of the entire population
lives in cities of $4,000 or over. About
one-tenth of the population resides in
the cities of New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia. twenty-five per cent lives
in cities of 100000 or over.
Like great whir1pools these centers
are drawing to themselves those ele-
ments which constitute the social I'M
rest In the cities are found practically
every great social problem that one
finds anywhere else, only much more
intensified. Negroes constitute one
fourth or more of the total population
in each of twenty-seven principal cities,
and in four of them the proportion is
more than half. Of the foreign-born
whites in the United States as whole
there are I4.5 per cent. In thirteen

keeps his manhood enthroned, for the
sake of the loved ones dependent upon
him. This is heroism, sublime and i'll
spring. This is kingship of the high
est type-the very stuff great coun-
tries are made of, declared Judge J.
C. McWhorter, of West Virginia, in
recent speech.
Do you tell me such men as these
are for sale, are sordid are contemp-
tible, venal hirelings whose votes are
mere merchandise, purchasable for a
drink of liquor, whose honor and
civic virtues call for nothing higher
or better than a mug of beer or a
dram of whisky? Do you tell me that
such men will lose all thought of
their families, for whom they toll and
sacrifice, and will, by their votes, sur
round their homes and defenseless
children with the damning environ
ment of the open saloon, when, by
the use of their ballots-the poor
mans last and most effective weapon
they can drive the saloons away and
give to their children an equal chance
with others? Do you tell me that
such men will let the qualification of
ruinous appetite unfortunately con-
tracted stand in the way of their do
ing their whole duty to their children?
What do the liquor people think the
1aboring man is anyhow, when they
try to fool him with their "PERSON-
AL LIBERTY" nonsense, and insist
that his first duty is to create an ap-
petite for strong drink, and then sac

principal cities more than 40 per cent of
the population is foreign-born. In each
of the fifteen cities having 100000 popu-
lation or more, the percentage of for
eign-born and the children of foreign
born represent more than half the popu-
lation, and in eleven of them it is
more than thirds"
DR. Sickle might add that it is in the
cities that most liquor is sold and sa-
looms flourish. 1t is this condition that
is largely responsible for other condi-
tions that prevail And since the city
must still exist and will continue to
grow, the only thing that can be done
is the betterment of conditions.

Suits Against Chicago Saloons

Eight damage suits for total of $685.
600 have been filed in the circuit court
of Chicago against thirty owners and
managers of saloons and persons own
ing the property in which these saloons
are situated. The suits were brought
by forty wives and children who declare
their incomes have been impaired
through the shortcomings of their hus-
bands and fathers, which in all cases are
traced to the saloon. The suits were
filed by counsel of the Citizens League
of Chicago, which has for its purpose
the enforcement of the state dram
shop act.
