An Object Lesson in Citizenship

1t goes without saying that what the boy sees
and hears on the streets forms vital part Of his
education and therefore his training for citizenship as
what he learns at school in the home. Indeed the
impressions thus made the most lasting and the
most effective in determining the character OF the
boy. Every boy is entitled to fair chance and
square deal and is therefore entitled to protection
against the things which will leave wrong i'm
preston upon him.
Our cartoonst this week calls attention to
object lesson all too familiar in every license
BOYS going to and from school must pass the open
door of the licensed saloon Not unfrequently they
attracted by the drunken brawl the bosterous
ity and profanity of the saloon At first they will stop
outside and listen. By and by older and boder grown
they will go inside just to what is going
The scenes there and the language there
heard leave lasting impressions their plastic minds
and even if led to drink themselves they suffer
tremendously in the lowering of their standard Of
manhood and citizenship But unfortunately rule
it does end with looking Sooner or later they
are themselves persuaded to take a drink and the
first step downward is taken.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

Now the fact want especially to emphasize IS
that such thing is possible only in license town.
The saloon is on the main street. rule, occupying
the most prominent corner. The school boy does not
have to hunt it out 1t plants itself squarey across
his path and to escape of the blight of its in
huence is well nigh impossible.
Much has been said about the blind pig-much
that is true-more that is not true. But the fact
remains that the blind pig occupies prominent
corner-is publicly in evidence, and therefore
where it does exist the school boy nothing
of unless he goes out Of his way to find it. 1t may
and it does furnish opportunity for the confirmed
topper get his liquor but it is not the to the
boy that the open saloon is.
1t may be objected that such sight that sug
gested by the cartoon would prove a most effective
warning against the evils of drink and would lead the
boy who sees it to shun such place and habit Posi-
bly, only might have that effect but he
grows familiar with the sight-and of the boy
even more than of the it is true that

Saloon Not in Politics ?

There still few people who try to persuade
themselves that the saloon is not in politics and should
not be made political issue. To all such
mend the following editorial in the Champion of Fair
Play official organ of the liquor trade It is candidy
admitted that the trade endorses friendly candidates
and works for their election. And the trade has done
this from time immemoria But it was when the
church voter through the AntiSaoon League adopted
the tactics that the protest went up against drag
gng the saloon into politics. The protest against the
skunk also emphasizes the fact that the saloon does
its political work in the dark When some one mad
vertently turns the light there is loud cry of
traitor. Evidently they among those who Love
darkness rather than light because their deeds are
evil

WHO is THE FELLOW?

In the due of business protecting
of the Liquor Dealers Association out letters

would think of the miserable "skunk" would think
little of himself and his business give this private
formation away the enemy? The Streator Times
of April publishes long article which publishes the
letter of endorsement by State President Ernest
Kunde and State Secretary M. J. Mccarthy endorsing
certain candidate in the Thrynnth district The candidate
duly nominated but what should be to the
temptible traitor who the letter away? 1t reveals his
miserable character and he should be expelled

This Week AT Polls
Pony Ballet Scores - Clark &
Bergman and Callahan &
St. George Rousingly
Received

Although not billed as the head
liners Clark & Bergman were the hit
of the bill at Polls last night. They
received more applause than any 9TH

let the clever pair leave the stage.
The name of their act is "A Baseball
Filtration" There is plenty of good
comedy patter in the sketch and the
songs and dancing are excellent:
Henry Bergman is lively dancer and
a good singer and Gladys Clark Is a
dainty Coincidence. The big song
riots are 'Ragtime Violin and "Ev-
erybody's Doing It. both of which
Miss Clark also sang a solo in pleas

compose the ballet are pretty and are
clever dancers. Arthur Conrad is at
couple of songs and also received
hearty applause for his eccentric
dancing The finale of the act in
which the ballet" did several unique
formations to the strains of Rum

Lester & Kellert walked right on
and became immediate favorites.
They have a number of good musical
numbers and their Jokes were receiv-

that they know all about juggling.
They take a chance at anything,
Straw hats, lamp shades, plates and
other articles that are handy are
hurled in the air. They are partlcu-
larly clever at juggling plates.
Leo Garlic, who is an old favorite
here, was on deck with his Chinese
anecdotes AS usual these stories
with their peculiar dialect were greet
ed with laughter. He also brought
out the mirth with his imitation OF
an Italian orator making a speech
about George Washington.
