Saloons and Poverty

The pro-saloon man tells us that drunkenness is
the result of poverty, not poverty the result of drunk
enneSS.
This is the way B. [. T. in "a Line-O-Type or
Two" in the Chicago Tribune sizes up the situation:
If one is charitably disposed-as most of us are-he had
better keep away from the poor parts of the city, and mediate
at long range on the misery of the submerged fraction. Moth
ing more quickly dries the springs of sympathy than the sight
of a string of ginmil1s doing a thriving business. Here swarm
the heads of families to fling away their wages, and we are
asked to commiserate and support their wretched progeny.

Is Ex-Rev. Meeker in Bad With the Brewers?

The brewers during the last few years have raj
lied to their aid a few ex-preachers who have been put
into the field in defense of the saloon Prominent
among them is one Joseph E. Meeker of St. Louis.
Meeker is now a candidate for Congress from a brew
cry district in ST. Louis.
The ST. Louis Republic ii October 10 asks the
brewers if they want Mr.. N2eeker to represent them
IN Washington. The Republic then proceeds to ans
Wer its own question ii the following manner:
The answer is not SO nearly unanimous as it was a few
weeks ago. Why? The brewers are beginning to think Do
they want a hrebrand in Congress? Do they wish to incite
the advocates of nationwide Prohibition bv sending a their
ambassador to Washington Il recent convert to the wet cause.
a former preacher, whose zeal in denouncing Prohibition has
not yet wiped out the memories of the frenzy with which he
damned the saloons" a few short years ago?
There are reasons for believing the brewers ALREADY are
tired OF Meeker and sick of the prospect of having to support
him for election. They forsee the situation at Washington,
when Meeker, should he be elected, will lose no opportunity
to turn loose in denunciation of the Anti Saloon League the
churches and all who dare favor Prohibition, lust As he has
done in recent speeches at Alton and elsewhere.
No respectable wet has confidence nor respect
for the preacher who has sunk so low as to defend
the crime-breeding, poverty-making saloon.

This Policy Would Close All Breweries

Scranton, Pa, Oct. I5-In a voice of indignation, Judge
Charles Evans, of Columbia county, who is sitting in
quarter sessions here today, declared that the Pennsylvania
Brewing Company ought to lose its license for selling beer to
Edward and Rose Hand, of Lake Sheridan, on trial before him
for keeping a speakeasy.
If every brewery in the United States guilty of
supplying speakeasies and blind pigs with liquor were
closed, there would not be a brewery left.

Joliet Flat Broke In Spite of Big Revenue
From Saloon Licenses

A press dispatch from Joliet Of last Thursday an
nounced that city to be fiat broke and unable to pay
its policemen, irenen and water works employees.
Mayor Woods was quoted as saying that unless fnan-
cial relief was afforded within a few days he would
be compelled to close the city. Relief came accord
ing to later news from the merchants who agreed to
supply provisions and clothing to city employees on
city checks. These checks are to bear the merchants
six per cent interest until such time as the city could
honor them.
Chicago daily newspapers gave prominence to the
story. Not one, however, mentioned the fact that
Joliet is wet.
The Chicago Evening Post however in it's story
OF bankrupt Joliet solemnly announced Joliet went
dry a number of months ago." It looks like the Posi-
was imposed upon by some Industrious wet CORE
spondent.
But, suppose Joliet were dry. Wouldn't the liq-
ur fellows put the loud pedal on the fact that it is
dry and broke?
Broke wet cities are SO numerous that newspa-
pers see no news value in calling attention to the fact
that broke" cities are wet, but a dry broke city
would be so unusual as to demand special attention
from the editors.
Still we cannot believe that the Post would DELHI
erately sacrifice its reputation for truth for the sake
of a little sensational news.
