politics and business. have been greatly benefited morally as
well as financially. The removal of the public barroom, together
with all of its immoral accessories, profanity, indecent pictures,
gambling, lewdness, Sunday violation, late hours, temptations to
minors, must of itself be a valuable gain to the city besides a
saving of thousands of dollars formerly spent in the saloon
which are now spent for the home and other good causes. As a
result OF tnrtyone years of ministry denounce the saloon evil

Catholics Oppose Saloons

The liquor interests of the country are much disturbed over
the Prohibition conference held at Niagara Falls recently by
the Catholics. This is said to have been the first Catholic or
ganizaton in the United States to go on record in favor of
nationwide Prohibition. Aside from effectng an organization,
resolutions were adopted which, for conprehensiveness seem to
leave nothing unsaid or implied in denunciation of the liquor
traffic.

Boom the Hop Industry

Saloonkeepers, appalled, by the result in Virginia, are said
to be looking for locations in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Never
knew before why the hops crop is SO important in the liquor
trade. We see now that the sa1oonkeepers need lots of hops.
About the time they hop into Philadelphia and Baltimore, they
will probably have to hop somewhere else, Let's boom the hop

Let the man who tolls with his hands remember
this: That in all the industries of the United States
as a whole outside the liquor traffic labor receives
544 per cent of the capital invested. While in the
brewery industry labor receives only 2o.2 per cent of
the invested capital.
1t is conservatively estimated that o5 per cent Of
the railways, 80 per cent of the manufacturers. s. per
cent of the trades and IS per cent of the agriculturists
discriminate against workmen who drink. Shades of

There will be a great campaign in Ohio, and some
other states, notably Idaho, will be at it also. The
signs are propitious. The fighting blood is stirred as
never before. State by state the great nation will
swing into line against the saloon.

moderate drinking, leads some of them to drunken
