Arousing the Fighting Spirit

The liquor fellows are devotees of the LET US
ONE doctrine. This eternal strife is getting
on their nerves." What satisfaction is there in de-
f%eating an enemy who will not acknowledge defeat
nor stay defeated?
Now there's Ohio going at 'em again next year!
The Brewers are beginning to understand now, that
there will be no peace as long as there is a liquor
traffic.
Here's the spirit as expressed by the East Liver
pool CO., Tribune.
When the brewers defeated statewide Prohibition on the
third of this month, they little thought that they had only arous-
ed the fighting spirit of hundreds of thousands of men in this
state to go forth and do even more valiant service in the cause
of humanity.

Suggests the City be Piped for Beer

The Burlington Qa) Saturday Evening Post evil
IDENTIFY doesn't have any sympathy with the idea If
limiting the number Of saloons as a means Of pro.
noting temperance. We respectfully refer the fol-
lowing from the columns of that journal to Col. Tom
Gilmore, of Louisville, Kentucky, champion of the
limitation idea:
The Cosson laws have operated to make conditions as to the
liquor traffic in Iowa cities, worse than they have ever been in
the history of the state.
AS matters now are in Burlington, under the Cosson law,
the twenty-five saloons here are full to the doors most of the
time, with other men waiting on the sidewalk to gain entrance.
The Washington Qa) Press, from which paper
We quote the above, says that the Post vicious1y
fought the reelection of George Cosson, attorney
general Of Iowa, because it put the blame upon him
for the reduced number of saloons in Burlington.
Burlington must have an unquenchab1e thirst" says the
Press. 1--WE would suggest that the difficulty of too few thirst
parlors be bridged by installing pipe line into every home in
our neighboring city with appliances SO convenient that not a
move will have to be made for a stein OF the amber fluid. We
expect soon to hear of traffic being blocked to such an extent
in front of the doors of the grog shops in Burlington that the
militia will have to be called out to clear the way. 1t is awful,
this condition of abridging the rights of men, by cutting down
the number of places where they can secure their toddy! One
almost gets famished in walking from one to another. When
the laws interfere with the booze business, the laws should be
cut out and their makers should be sent up Salt 'Crick with
a rush,!
1t was the Moon law and not the Cosson law,
explains the Press, that reduced the number of sa-
looms in Burlington. But however that may be, Cos
son was reelected attorney general.
In that not far distant day when Burlington will
be saloonless because Iowa will be a Prohibition state,
will not a description by the Burlington Saturday
Evening Post, of the stampede Of citizens for Burling-
tons blind pigs be interesting?
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1914-12-04

the police department was over a half million dol
lars. and the chief of police has said that most of the
disorder calling for police attention arises from or
is associated with the liquor traffic. What the traf-
hc cost the citizens in increased court expenses, IN
the care of dependents in the loss of service OF PEG
pie who, were it not for liquor, would be producers
instead of parasites, no one knows exactly. But it is
certain that judges, sheriffs, chiefs of police, editors
of newspapers, folks who know, say that the saloon
is one Of the chief causes of crime. And because it
is-it costs the city, the county, the state many times
what it pays back in revenue.
The liquor traffic gives less employment to labor
for the amount of capital invested than any business
on earth. 1t puts more idle men upon the streets than
it employs in all it's branches OF endeavor, distillery,
brewery and saloon.
1t seems strange that in this day when the pre-
ponderance of evidence is SO overwhelming against
the saloon with reference to the economic side Of the
question, that a daily newspaper should get off such
twaddle as the following. We quote from a Coast
newspaper of recent date. We offer 1t as a relic OF
the past. Such stuff used to listen" better than it
does now.
The editor Processes to speak for the business
men of Seattle, and declares that they were surprised
and shocked at the result of the vote in Washington.
"They did not believe" he says, chat any great taxpaying
community would vote to destroy fifteen million dollars worth
of property for the mere purpose of carrying an ism
"They could not bring themselves to believe that a rational
community would vote to turn into the streets eight thousand
five hundred men by destroying the business which these men
carried on.
"These business men did not believe that, in view of the
ctys financial condition, a majority of the people would vote
to add another heavy burden of taxation, which is now beyond
what it should be and excessively burdensome to everyone
who owns property.
"The business men could not believe that an industry like
the Seattle Brewing and Mailing Company, whose pay roll ex-
ceeds one million dollars per annum, would be voted out OF
business by intelligent people.
"But here with one blow they destroy an industry and the
nav roll that can't be duplicated again in Washington in ten
years"
1t is to be hoped that such business will never be
duplicated again in that state. 1t probably never will
be. The Post Intelligencer of Seattle seems to share
this opinion. At any rate, it takes a much more en-
liohtened and up-to-date view of the situation.
It says:
"At best a different verdict at the polls would have meant
only a postponement. For the movement which this year en1sts
Washington, Oregon and Colorado soon will enlist the country
as a whole.
washington soon will become a dry state and is destined
to remain a dry. state. That it will have the company of all
