 RAPS THE SALOONS
Continued from page one.)

penitentiaries! Business, yes; but business for the doctor, and fer the grave digger, and for the undertaken! Business, yes; but business fer the Keely-cures! On this last they have monoply"
 MT. Davis compared saloons ill a good town with fleas on fat dog, and said: "The fleas feed on the fat which they did not create; they dls- turb his peace, raise a howl, and make him mangy; that is what fRas do for dog. What fleas do for a fat dog, saloons do for good town"
 The speaker pictured in sad and elo quent language the ruin of towns citizens wrought by the liqucT +raffic, as it pours them into 'the yawning, gaping mouth of hell! Not one man" he said, "has ever yet been made a better man by the saloon having been in his town. Don't tell me 1t improves business! I was born be- tween two still-hcuses and, oh my God! the havoc and horror! It is indescribable. I have seen every plank in the still-house stained with bleod! And l know one case in the court, the cost of which absorbed more money than all the revenue or all the liquor houses of that section ever paid into the public treasury! There is nothing to it."
 MT. Davis scanned the prohibition situation, noting the progress being made in the United States, and said, Don't be alarmed, friends, at the battle the enemy is waging; they have millions of money. and are mak- ing a desperate stand; but the liquor traffic is doorhed. It must go; it is going. We represent the worlds highest civilization"
