hibihon, be saved from the constant pressure OF a temptation he
IS not strong enough to resist. 1t is not as if this Prohibition
was going to deprive people of anything calculated to be of ad-
vantage to them. Good is an absolute quality, and of such there
are no degrees, though there are certainly degrees of evil. The
degrees of evil of which the use of alcohol is capable are so
obvious to the human intelligence that that intelligence should
be capable of the inevitable deduction that the more completely
the evil is eliminated the better for everyone concerned.
Now 1t is obvious, as obvious, as Thomas Ingoldsby saws,
as the nose upon your face, that the race has a right to protect
itself against evil. 1t asserts this right in the instance of theft
or violence, to take only two instances, then why not in the case
of drink? Why should a man be restrained from assaulting his
neghbor or stealing from him, and unrestrained in his Isl of
alcohol? Why, asks a famous French writer, does a crowd ex-
hbt the utmost concern if a horse falls in the road. and vet
only smile if a man slips in the mud? 1t is, he answers, be-
cause the individuals who compose the crowd know that if thew
slipped IN the mud the man would laugh at them. In the same
way no mar wants to be assaulted or stolen from. but untold
thousands desire to indulge in alcohol. To argue, as is So fire.
quently done, that a blow or a theft Injuries an innocent person,
whilst drink only Injuries the victim who succumbs to it, is
to take a curiously limited view of citizenship. The man who
gives way to drink, like the man who gives way to recognized
forms of crime not only deprives the community of his earn
ing capacity, but becomes a dead weight on its resources. Nor
is it true that he does not directly injure any individual. His
conduct brings misery on those dependent upon him, and distress
to those who would be his friends.

THE AM ISSUE
November I3, 1914.

Had it not been for the Anti-Sa1oon League in the state
of Illinois in our last state assembly they would have forced
a law that a saloonkeeper could have got a license for TWEEN
ty-hve years, and nothing in the world could have ousted
him out of it.
They can afford to hire men, competent men, high sal
aried men, who can do the work, and to divide our forces
the way this board proposes is simply to cut our own
throat.
There is no one church that can combat that thing. 1t is
only by combining all the churches in one society; the Anti
Saloon League is not a political party, and it fills the bill,
exactly what we want.

Prohibition and Moral Reform

"The chief argument by which the Prohibition
campaign, or whatever name that campaign may be
known by in various countries, has always been met,
is the specious one that you cannot make people good
by force,'" says the Christian Science Monitor edi-
torially.
"The very expression make good is, of course,
a misnomer,' continues the Monitor:
No man ever was or ever can be made good by force. He
can, however, be compelled by force, if necessary, to behave as
a respectable citizen, and he can, by a process of iudicious Pro

"Saloons Not In Touch With
Public Sentiment"

Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular of October
IS says:
Trading in round lots is at a standstill. We cannot expect
much trading while apprehension prevails as it does at this
time. Dealers will hold back from buying until the elections in
Ohio and the far western states have been decided, and even
then the question of supply and demand will breed conserva-
tism.
AS the situation looks today, it would seem that our trade
is not securing a proper hearing before the people. It is all
right to be conservative, but we should not be blind. The law
of evolution is eternal and irresistible, and it demands change.
Our methods of retailing liquors may have met with the ap-
proval of the public fifty or one hundred years ago, but the
man is foolishly blind who argues that the American saloon is
in touch with public sentiment at this time. This thing Of
standing pat is proving a fatal policy. Our trade cannot afford
to longer oppose an aroused public sentiment.
Old Man Doodle says that a lot of men seem TO Be irving
to prove their patriotism by helping to pay the war tax on

Bootleggers' Penalties Aggregate $11,44O
and $3.50 days

According to the Decatur Daily Herald, of No
Vember I, a number of saloonkeepers of that city
were fined in the aggregate $II,44o and given 5,I3o
days in Jail.
In concluding his sentence Of one of them, Judge
K. Whitfield said:
Every day that you are in jail, 7 trust that
you will remember there is a law in Decatur and
that law is the biggest thing in this community.
It there were more judges like Judge Whitfield
there would be less boot1egging in the state of Illinois.

crowding from the standpoint of
room required for each pupil and
ventilating necessary. Among
the state requirements for school
buildings is a statement which
says mo class room shall pro-
vide less than 18 square feet of
floor space and ZIG feet of air
space per pupil" Every recita-
tion room, with two possible ex-
ceptions, is, according to the
present enrolment, far short of
this requirement. In Room I,
classes average twenty-eight
pupils throughout the day, al
lowing per pupil only ten square
feet of floor space, and but one

space. Room III, one of the least
crowded rooms, allows at pres
ent only ten feet of floor space
per pupil and one hundred forty
feet air space.
A demand Tor Room
These rooms are typical. In
their significance the figures pre-
scented speak for themselves. We
must remember these rooms and
the ventilating system were orr
ginally adequate for one hun
dred fifty pupils. But schools
will grow and room for expan-
sion must be provided. At the
present, high school students of
Redwood Falls, are penned up
IN overcrowded quarters where
moving space is restricted and
where fresh, wholesome air is
at a premium. Not only do pupils
suffer mere physical inconveni-
ences, and not only is the effort
of teachers hampered; but the
health of all is attacked by these
oppressive conditions. There is
| q practical, insistent demand for
more room.
