The Rich Man
and Social Justice

Men in the full pride OF wealth,
honor, and worldly influence are not
apt 10 realize how short lived is the
structure they have built. They do
not think how in spite OF all their per.
sonal skill and earnest effort II must
meet the shocks or life or crumble
away under the disintegrating forces
OF society-the very forces which they
have used in its building
The rich man may by great caution
protect his child His grandchild,
whom he loves as well, may die in the
poorhouse OF the gutter in spite or all
he has done or could do
There is but one way 10 prevent
that: TO work against those condi-
tions which create or perpetuate so
cial suffering.
That is the rich mans personal IN
terest in fighting for social justice,
against the terrible curse OF poverty,
for better conditions OF life for the
millions
For ne himself, or his child that
he loves better than himself, or his
child's child may be among those mil
lions. the most wretched and helpless
atom of them all.
II is this grave truth OF lie WIN
which Col Roosevelt dealt IN the
splendid peroration OF his speech az
Louisville:
ask justice for the weak, Tor their
sake: and ask il for the sake OF ouT
children, and our children's children

try will not be a good place for any

There is a time of opportunity and time when OPP
portunity is past. We may say that if we do not win
this or that battle this year. there is still another year
ahead and we can do it next year And if we
tent to take this great tragedy Of the liquor wrong thus
complacently, and be satisfied with solving the
problem in fifty years instead of twenty, that will be
our attitude But if we realize that men, every day,
are sinking through the very pavements in front of
our eyes into everlasting hell because of this evil,
shall to bring it to speedy end and solve it
in twenty years instead of fifty. We shall want to cut
off thirty years of its life and prevent thirty years OF
it's slaughter, and stay thirty years of its ravage.
Time of Opportunity.
1t is the time of opportunity in Illinois now to
shorten this contest in this state by perhaps halt
dozen years. The contest in which engaged is
very like war-IS 1t is succession OF battles
more than it is educational campaign. We cannot
postpone the day Of battle-we must fight out each
engagement when it comes. We must fight out the
present legislative battle upon the fifth Of November,
and if lose upon that day we lose tor two years at
least. That is what mean when say this is
time of opportunity that in certain if pass
this opportunity by, it will to us again.
The opportunity cut off two years of this contest
will again. 1t certain can be that IT
the
hand we thereby permit the liquor traffic to continue
in its own evil f. two years longer So what we are
contending for is the Selling of the immediate oppor-
unity the gaining of two years time in the war for
the extingushng of the liquor traffic in Illinois,
In another sense this is the time of opportunity.
The temperance forces of the state have occu
pied such advantageous position as they occupy
today. They have been the goal of
county option they today. They have never
had so many temperance nominated to the legs-
ature as were nominated the last primary. All Of
this advantage is be lost, unless is sustained and
maintained at the election November 5. Unless
the advantage is held the work of the primary cam
pagn of this year will be lost for it cannot be made to
bear upon another legislative contest. The time for
the temperance people to fight is We want
every friend of the temperance in Illinois to
understand the real situation, its coseness and its
opportunity.

Review Of Legislative Situation


They introduced and passed through the house OF
resentatives bill to repeal the township local option
law They put the temperance forces OF the state on
the defensive, and made them fight maintain the
township local option law. That in 1909 and
since that time have been steadily climbing
The Situation in 1911
The legislature of 1911 reversed the situation Of
the previous sesson-that Of 1909. Whereas in 1909
the temperance forces on the defensive in 1911
the liquor interests were the defensive. Whereas
in 1909 they smothered all temperance bills in
mttee in 1911 Our temperance committee reported
all temperance bills and two Of them placed
upon the statute books as laws Whereas in 1909
they secured sevenynne votes for the repeal of the
township local option law in the house Of representa-
tives 1911 they could but sxtyfour. Where
in 1909 the county option bill was smothered in
committee, in 1911 it to a ro1-ca and
within fourteen votes of passage And thus the record
of the general assembly of 1911 showed distinct
advance in temperance matters.
The Situation in 1912
And now come to the situation as it stands at
present. Beginning the first of last June, the Anti
Saloon League inaugurated CAREFUL practical
ganzaton for the purpose Of securing better
representation from the city of Chicago and maintain
ing strength in the country part of the state It
was aim particularly to fuller vote at the
primary and concentrate it upon just the right
ddates In this attempt we successful, for the
results Of the primary Of April show gain of sixteen
county option men nominated in the house of repre-
sentatves compared with the primary of two years
ago. That is sufficient to win the fight if the gain is
maintained. And there lies the nub of the whole
matter.

Las VEGAS MAN
MAY REF FREE
TITLE BAT TIE
By Ed. Cllrlr.

NEW YORK. June While
v Jack Johnson and Jim
Flynn are getting ready. TO
do battle on the Fourth at Las We
gas, n. NJ, the natives are becena-
ing insistent that the referee shall
be a resident of that town. The
man that is being strenuously
showed to the front as the proper
individual to do the counting, if
such should be necessary, is Mark
Levy, the leading sporting author
ity in New Mexico.
The demand is so strong for
Levy that Jack Curley, the pro-
moter cf the fight. is going to sug-
gest his name to johnson and
Flynn. Curlev intends to dn--sone
urging for the selection of Levy.
He feels that local man in the
ring would be a big attraction and
add a few kopeks to the gate re=.
sceipts.
For, despite the fact that the
world championship is in the bal
ance, the box office will play a very
prominent part. AS Levys repu-
tation in the Southwest is of the
highest there is big probability
that he may be chosen.
Despite the fact that Leach
Cross managed to slip a few over

amazemenD, Danny Morgan re-
ceived a wire yesterday offering
Brown a battle on the coast with
Willie Richie, or a local man. Tom

affair would be twenty rounds and
take place on June 30.
