government? Does the saloon help
form a more perfect union? Does it
help establish justice or insure domes-
tic tranquility? Does it help to pro-
vide for the common defense? Does
it help to promote the general welfare?
To all of these questions an honest
public must say "No." The saloon is
the creator of misery and discontent:
it is the hatchery of treason, the
breeder of law breakers, the destroyer
of domestic tranquility. 1t does not
help promote the general welfare, but
it does destroy it: and strange as it
NAV seem, it is nevertheless true that
this power for evil, and only evil,
compels both great political parties to
COW before it, and do its bidding
They are both either moral towards
or they are in league with the saloon
and are upholders of the misery Great.

%fervently pray, Lead us not into

crime and death upon the people?
