SUFFERING TRADES.
oSTRONG WORDS By CLINTON u
. HOWARD TO WORKING MEM
What Is It that keeps labor en-
{ ployed, factories busy, wages high
Orders.
That is what $4,000 commercial
travellers are cut for-orders. They
represent manufacturer.
On what dOes the manufacturer de-
pend? On the retailer
On what does the retailer depend,
On the customer with needs to sup
ply and money to buy.
II is the home market and the for
eign markets that keep the wheels OF
industry going round.
In what way does the saloon affect
the hame market?
Let Left Jones. the English member
OF parliament. answer that question:
4 met the finished product Of the
saloon He was lying IN the gutter.
He had no hat, the hat trade vas SUI
fering; his coat was full OF holes. the
clothing trade was suffering; he had
on the remnant OF shirt, the WOODEN
trade was suffering: ne had On no
socks, the hosiery trade was suffer
ing; he was dirty, the soap trade was
suffering; I can hardly mention use
full industry in the country that was
not affected By that mans insobriety.
Follow this man home and you
would find By an inventory Of his wife
and children that the millinery trade,
underwear trade, the dress goods
trade, the ribbon trade, and 4 hundred
other trades were suffering Look
about his home, and you would find
that the furniture trade, the carpet
trade. the picture trade, the dinner
ware and cooking utensiI trade. and q
hundred more we're suffering So with
the toy trade and the Christmas tree
trade; all suffering because of one
mans insobriety.
4 round million men we're arrested
for drunkenness and disorderly COZ
duct in this country last year A mil
lion more eIuded the EatchfuI eye Of
our Figilant police, we're sobered up in
the back room OF the saloon, or stag

Two million makers OF the home

ply, but 10 money 10 buy. Add their
wives and children. the usual average
Of four with mother, and you have To-
00O, 600 consumers in the home mar
ket impoverished By the American

Let labor close that tremendous
leak, lift his brother from the gutter,
send him home 10 his family sober.
and with his pay envelope unbroken

its customers only SORROW, disease and
shame in exchange for labor's wealth,
and it would give NJ q new home mar

ket around the world
What could be done with that vast
Gum OF money now poured into the
lap CT the saloon2
We could build 500, 600 homes at
$1,000 each, put $1,000 worth Of fur
niture and carpets into every one OF

TIMES EDITORIALLY MAKES
COMMENT OF NAMUR LOSS

London, Aug. 25.-''Ye sterday was a
day of bad news and we fear more
must follow" the London Times says
today in an editorial on the fall of Ma
muir.
In the first phase of the great bat
tle," the paper continues, the Ger
mans appear to have won ground ali
along the line save in the area held
by the British. We are prepared for
the ebb and flow of conflict but not
for the fall of Namur.
I'VE have to face this situation with
mistaken confidence. We have to re-
member that the battle is not yet
over. The Germans have not yet burst
their way through to France. We have
to remember that this is only the first
great encounter of a war which plainly
is destined to be a long one. For the
allies it is a phase; for the Germans
it is vital. They are dealing their
blows with tremendous VigOr but the
issue in Belgium still hangs in the
balance, in spite of the unfortunate
events at Namur-
"WhateVer be the upshOt. Great
Britain and her allies will face the
outlook with logged determination and
continue the war until the spirit of
Prussian mllitarism is rooted out of
Europe.
Time fights on the side of the al
lies. With the Germans it is now or
nothing but the French and the Eng
lish nave everything to gain by waG
ing a delaying war. While the
issue remains uncertain we may still
maintain the stoutest hope. Should it
go against us we may remember that
the allies have not, like Germany,
staked all upon their first venture.
Our ultimate success is certain and we
will never sheath our sword until Ger
many has been finally beaten to her
knees"
