Brewery Owned Saloons

Governor Osborn's arraignment of
the brewery owned saloon serves a
good purpose in riveting attention on
an evil which must and should be
eradicated. The artificial stimulation
of saloons by the brewery which owns
the fixtures and in many cases pays
for the license is menace to the de-
cent and law-abiding public. During
the local option campaign in this coun-
ty The Press dwelt on the trend of
evils which inevitably follow in the
wake of brewery rivalry. 1t means
more saloons than are called for I'M
der any theory of license into exis-
tence The saloonkeeper becomes
practically the hired man of the brew
cry. He has no personal interest in the
proper conduct of his saloon. The trib-
ute he is forced to pay in the form
of interest and an extra price for his
beer forces him into illegal selling and
shady actions he might not be possess
ed of if he were not so hard pressed
to make profit for himself The null
tp1ication of saloons caused by the
brewery-owned system accentuates
this competition and practically COM
pels him to choose between disobey-
ing the law and going out of business.
The crying need of the day is the abb
solute divorce of the brewery from
the saloon.-Grand Rapids, Mich,

Horrors
By Rev. Cyrus j. Kephart, D. D.
He passed a saloon
By pale light of moon;
Horrors!
For forth from it's door,
Anon did pour,
Drunk men, lewd women,
Blear-eyed, f1ush-faced,
Keeling, staggering, falling,
Horrors!
The night hurried on,
And all through the TOWN.
Horrors;
In street and in alley,
Der hilltop and valley
Foul shame, crime blood-red,
Drunken, blatant,
Cursing, quarreling, killing!
Horrors!
Great God! Must this be?
Shall hell in such glee-
Horrors!
All over Our land,
On every hand,
Send forth confusion,
And shame and death,
Robbing, running, murd'ring?
Horrors!
Ye men of the state,
Shall this be our fate?
Horrors!
Stand forth in your might,
Pledge all to the right,
And give pure women,
Weak men, freedom.
Drive out these cursing, blighting
Horrors!

Good Reading for Sunday
The Treasure Chests.

The Treasure Chests.
In an old-fashoned room at the
head of the stairs,
Vas a box of old treasures and hid
den in there
Was a little print book and a quaint
ly marked slate,
A little worn shoe that was minus a
mate,
A whistle. a spool. and a tangle of
string.
An odd little bell that was lacking
its ring;
o twas many a treasure was hidden
in there,
In the days of our childhood, before
we could know,
1t was EVER beyond us why mother
should go
And kneel by the side of the red
cedar chest,
And press the worm shoe and the
slate to her breast,
Why sorrow and weeping should sad
den the whites
The face we knew better in motherly
smiles.
But today We know why, That was
ages ago,
In the days we were young and be-
fore We could know.
But today we are older, with burdens
and cares,
And with hearts understanding of
motherhood's prayers,
We know that the hardest of battles
that come
Are not the ones fought to the tap of
the drum.
But those that are waged in the sad
hess and gloom
When motherhood kneels in an old
fashioned room
Why a half the worlds h%eartaches
and sorrows and cares
Are in old treasure-chests at the head
of the stairs.

Through bivouac and battle-iame
We have loved our own, we have

We have fronted praise and blame.
We have marched afar from the altar
where
You trusted your life to mine,
But dearer grown for each line of
care,
Wilt thou be may valentine?
o choicest gift of the days that r
gone,
And lure of the days to be!
The world were a night without a

If | look in vain for thee.
So ! search your eyes as a lover
should,
May the love-light in them shine;
BY the vanished past-,and the past

Wilt thou be may valentine?

Your honest effort shall fruition
