If CHICAGO CLOSED SALOONS.

The dire calamity that would befall
Chicago were it's 1900 saloons to be
closed, and the 10000 men engaged in
the liquor business in that city were
to be thrown out of employment, is
constantly being urged by the advo-
Gates of personal liberty. In an open
letter to the Chicago Tribune, John
A. Shields, organizing secretary Of
the Progressive national committee,
makes the following pertinent reply
to the argument:
If these saloons were closed, en-
ployment would be furnished to those
engaged in the saloon business and as
many more, in the new channels of
trade opened up by the money that is
now invested in the saloon business.
"The making of car of wheat into
bread will employ seven and one-half
times as much labor, and pay better
wages, than the making of an equal
amount of grain into beer; and the
finished product will make happier
men and women and better citizens.
The United States census bulletin of
manufacturers for Connecticut, recent
~ Issued, shows that 100000 in
vested in the liquor business employs
101 men; the same capital in the
hardware business employs 522, in the
silk business ACT, in wooden goods
business SGT, boots and shoes 494, and
SO on down the list, proving conclu-
sively that If this money now tied up
in the liquor business were put into
any one of the $50 leading Industries
it would employ from three to eight
times as, much labor.
This same report shows that 500
invested in the liquor business pays
back annually $3.50 in wages; in the
hardware bushes it pays back $28,
in the silk business SO, in the wooden
business $26, in boot and shoe bust
ness $27."

The national republican committee
at it's meeting in Washington last
week did good work for the party
ana we believe for the country as
we'll In the first place it decided it
HAD the power to act and thus did
away with the necessity of calling a
special national convention, con-
veption by the way that would have
been under the management and
control Of the same organization as
in 1912. Having decided its power
to act, it adopted resolutions recOg-
nizing the primary laws of states
having them and allowing states full
recognition of their own methods of
choosing delegates to the next nat
ional republican convention. 1t fur
Their formulated a new basis of rep
resentation in the national conven-
ton which makes a great reduction
in the number of delegates from the
"Solid South. BY the change the
South will have 1873 less delegates
than under the old system and the
states of New York, Pennsylvania,
and Illinois will lose seven.
The committee has not acted ar
bitrarily but is to refer these ques-
tions to the different states and they
must be endorsed by two thirds of
the states before they take effect.
This seems particularly wise be-
cause it removes any possibility of
the charge of bossism in this work.
The people are to say for themselves
whether they want these changes or
not and If they do they are to choose
delegates to the convention according
to their own will The results may
not be any fairer or representative

AS WE SEE 1T.

Because a man weighted down
a while, would you stop the manu-
facture of guns? Because a man
hangs himself now and then would
you stop the selling of rope? Be
cause a man suicides occasionally by
plunging into the river would you dry
up the streams? Yet because some
fool drinks himself to death, your
temperance fanatics would stop the
manufacture and sale of liquor"
Strange as it may appear, there
are still citizens of this republic,
there are still good temperance peo-
ple,' who argue for the regulation of
the liquir traffic on just such grounds.
We reply: If stopping the manufac-
ture of guns would increase the hap
piness of the home, if it would reform
and transform our social and political
life as would stopping the manufac-
ture of liquor, we should certainly be
found among the foremost advocates
of that policy. If the prohibition of
rope-selling would give this country
and the whole world such an uplift
as would the prohibition of drink-sell-
ing, we should certainly be anti-rope
advocates. If drying up the streams
would result in good to every man.
woman and child; if it would add to
human happiness, and decrease crime,
pauperism and insanity; If it could
be shown that it is in harmony with
the Divine plan and purpose in the
evolution and redemption of the race,
we should say unhesitatingly, dry up
the streams. So would every other
friend of humanity.

A Law Abiding Corporation

The American Telephone and Tel
egraph Company, next to the lar
gest corporation in America, has
agreed with the government to re-
organize itself, dispose of its hold
ings of Western Union stock, not to
acquire control of other telephone
companies and where control OF
other companies has been acquired
but no physical union been affected
submit the course it is to pursue to
the interstate commerce commission
and to the department of justice and
will make arrangements by which all
other telephone companies shall
have access to its toll lines. These
concessions to the government are
greater than those of the Standard
OH or the Tobacco Trust and are ad-
mitted by the government officials
to be greater than they could have
hoped to secure in the courts.
Such a liberal concession was
made possible by T. N. Vail, presi-
dent of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, who. gave out
the following statement upon the an
nouncement of the reorganization.
1--WE are complying with the wishes
Of the government because we desire
that our operations shall continue to
be, as we have always believed them
to be, in strict conformity to law,
and for that reason we are now ad-
jusring them to the law as under
stood and interpreted by the attor-
ney-general.
Some economies and some ser
vices which were contemplated under
the complementary operation Of the
two companies cannot now be real
lied, but it is hoped rnat all now in
operation will, after thorough con-
sideration, be found to. be within
the law.
'In relinQuishing the Western
Union, while we do so with great
regret, we have the satisfaction of
knowing that it is in better physi-
cal and financial condition than it
was when we took it over, and that
the shareholders will soon be bene-
fitted in some measure by what has
been done"
1t must be something OF a disap-
pointment to Mr.. Vail to release the
telegraph company without carry
ing out the economies and services
he had planned but to him the OBJ
servance of the law is supreme and
time may demonstrate that such
leader as he knew better than the
politicians in congress what the
country really needs in a public ser
vice corporation.

Former Postmaster General Thinks
Government Ownership Expensive

Government Ownership Expensive
Charles Emory Smith was McKinley's
postmaster general, He told me once
that private corporation if given the
same advantages possessed by the gov
eminent, could do our mail business at
rs per cent less cost. He didn't think
any postmas ter-general could greatly re-
duce expenses because hedged about by
political necessities. Mr.. Smiths admir-
alton for John H. Converse of the Bald
win locomotive works was very great,
and / recall his remarks:
"a man like Converse, not as postmas-
er-general, but as actual owner of the
postal business, could give the country a
far better service than we have and
save a quarter of the expense doing it."
Now, if a postmaster-g general, knowing
the fearful drains in all ordinary govern
mental work. outside the army and navy,
says the waste is so great. why should
this country jump into the business of
owning telegraphs and telephonns?
Such ownership in less than five years
would mean either vastly inferior SER
vice than we now have, or a greatly in
creased cost. Why saddle the public
with either?-l Philadelphia Public Led

OUR VITAL ASSETS,

Society accepts as a matter Of
course the fact that physicians urge
measures and promote schemes which
tend to prevent disease and there
fore in large measure reduce their
own incomes. A medical practitioner
employed methods to spread disease
germs would not only lose all profess
sional standing, but would be branded
by society as devoid Of conscience and
human feeling. Yet with strange in
consistency we permit and license
in our midst an institution which
in order to increase its revenues sows
the seeds of disease, corruption and
death among the youth of the nation
every day of the year.
