The LawlessnoBs of the Drinking
Saloon

Saloon.
We are IN receipt of "a letter from
prominent lawyer in Philadelphia
calling attention to the remarkable
reaction against mob law mt Coates
VILE, Pa, on account of the aboli
zion Of the saloon. Here is a place
which year ago was under the
grim reign of disorder and which be-
came notorious throughout the
country for II horrible case OF lynch
ing. Delivered from the thraldom
OF the saloon, the place has been vir-
tuaily transformed.
This writer records the testinIoi v
of Russian Orthodox priest, whose
church Is situated in Philadelphia
but who also conducts work In
Gainesville, where he has more than
three hundred people under his
charge. He states that since the
elimination of the saloon from that
section M thc country. instead of
poverty and 9th in the homes of
the people, and hungry, weeping
wives and children, ali are well fed
and clothed, houses are clean, hap.
piness and tranquility prevail and
money is plentiful. Our correspon-
dent writes:
"He told me that formerly the
men left the offices with their pay
envelopes and went directly to the
saloons and little was left for the
support and maintenance of the fam
lilies, and men went to their homes
more Of the nature of brutes than
experience, but it was so general
that there was scarcely an excep-
;tion, at least among the foreign pop
,ulation.
"This priest Knows what he is
talking about. lie is keen, prac-
teal man OF great heart and excep.
tional ability. He is an educated
Russian who reads his Plato In
Greek. His analysis of the new
condition was so inspiring that any
thing ! might write seems indeed
most superfisciaI and vague"
As one would naturally expect,
the number of accidents and deaths
incident to the perils of employment
In a great center of the iron indus
try has fallen off to a remarkable
degree, and crimes Of every sort
have been greatly reduced. The
lawyer concludes:
at seems unthinkable that with q
