Tertiary a few weeks ago under guard
Tor protection against mob violence at

day morning. and the officers IN

people OF that city were 30 aroused

The Way Saloons Help the Legitimate
Merchant

A young staggered out of Wells street
loon last Saturday night and stumbled onto south
bound street He we'll dressed and intelli-
gent looking, but badly under the influence of liquor.
His straw hat which had evidently not been out of the
store for more than day was badly battered. The
rim had been off with the exception of about four
or five inches in 'front.' which gave the hat the APP
pearance of straw cap. The young took the hat
off his head looked at it with disgust and threw out
of the window of the He had some lively
conversation with the conductor who attempted to
collect his fare. At Madison street he left the car
The conductor turned to the writer and said Gee,
amt that fright? That young fellow has spent every
cent he has received for his weeks work in that saloon
up there Wells street. Didn't even have nickel
to pay his fare. paid it for him. I asked him how
he going to live this coming week and he said,
i know restaurant down here that will stand me
off,"
And then the conductor fell to phlosophizing He
said, "There you are the saloonkeeper gets his cash
while the merchant, the who feeds him, has to
wait for his pay. Oh, this saloon business is great
thing for the legitimate merchant all right

Alley Cocktails in Kansas

diligent ten-hours' fruitless quest for drink

and friend is described by the reporter of the Kan
City Star The reporter concludes his narrative
follows:
Then it is possible to buy liquor in Topeka? Yes, and
is also possible to rob bank there 1t crime sell

neither is committed easily with mpunity and neither is

Getting Desperate

When the United Societies failed to secure
through their efforts, space in the special edition of
the women voters paper, remembering the result of
the election at Benton, where 4I8 out of 432 votes
cast against the vets, they became desperate
One night last week Dr. A. D. Weimer, chairman
of the political action committee of the United So
cities, pleaded for the aid of women for the vets in
future campaigns. 1t is recorded that one hundred
were busy in the crowd of five thousand men
and getting members for the Women's
Liberty League of Chicago. This organization is
aid to the United Societies. They gave prizes to
the eight women who obtained the greatest number
of signatures. The reports that to from the
meeting are anything but creditable. Among the
speakers George Landau, president of the United
Societies, Anton J. Cermak, secretary of the United
Societies. and Leopold Neuman chief organizer of the
United Societies.
In their desperation they said: "If the drys ever
succeed in deprivng you of the right to and drink
you see fit later on they may take your ice
away from you This shows their extreme
desperation. They know quite we'll that those who
spend their money for drink will not be permitted to
have much ice cream as those who are against the
saloon They would leave the impression that the
Anti-Saoon League is rigid and unreasonable or
ganization, seeking to take away the liberties of men
and women when the real facts are that the real
liberties of country only safeguarded when the
saloons influence is removed. The women of the state
