There is grave reason to fear that in
the majority of cases use will sooner
or later lead to abuse with all it's dis
astrous consequences for the individ-
ual, the family and the nation; and in
view Of this deplorable possibility are
we not justified in protesting against
the opening of our hearts and our
homes to this monster Of iniquity who
for ages has made the world groan
and tremble beneath his blighting
tread? The saloon is the stronghold
of this unholy traffic in America, the
throbbing heart Of system whence
the red stream of this fiery fluid is
forced into the arteries of commerce
and the homes of the people bringing
ruin and destruction in its wake.
Will anyone dare to deny that the
demoralizing effects of the liquor traf-
f1c as we know it are traceable to
the saloon, or rather to the weli-or-
ganized saloon system which con-
fronts us in every state of the Union I?
The brewer, the distiller, the whole
sale dealer and the retailer have en-
trenched themselves behind strong,

nifty. In this way 1t fosters and
spreads spirit Of disobedience to
lawful authority which predisposes to,
If 1t does not actually beget, crime. In
the furtherance of its aims, in pro.
noting trade and increasing profit, the
saloon sets at nought the wishes of the
community as expressed in the laws
which forbid the sale Of liquor to min.
ors and to habitual drunkards, which
prohibit gambling, obscenity and lewd.
ness, as we'll as selling on Sunday and
after certain hours. Moreover, the
disreputable resort, the vaudeville sa-
loon and the wine room are the pro-
life parents Of all kinds Of criminality
and immoral excesses. The United
States Brewing association at its con-
vention in Milwaukee in 1908 declared
that the saloon should not be used
to foster the social evil but should be
entirely divorced from It," It was de.
cided to wage . war Of determination

vested in the business; and more than
million people depend for liveli-
hood upon the manufacture, distribu-
tion and sale of alcoholic beverages.
With unlimited capital at their com.
mand, and INSCRIPTIONS agents to do
their bidding, the liquor interests are
ever reaching out into new fields. Few
people have any adequate idea of the
enormous growth of the saloon busi-
ness during recent years and of the
influence it wields in state and nation
al affairs. More than two thousand
millions Of dollars flow annually into
the Golfers of the American saloon.
keeper; and who can doubt that this
stream is crimsoned with the blood
OF vice and crime, and saturated with
the salt tear of untold misery?
Against this formidable foe the
Catholic Church raises her voice in
vigorous denunciation. The saloon
would contend with the Church for
supremacy on American soil; it would,
If it could, destroy her power and
glory in its emancipation from the re.
straint which religion imposes. There.
fore, between the Church and the
saloon there can be no truce, no
compromise. Light and darkness can
not coexist side by side. II this ma.
tion choose the darkness rather than
the light the virtue and permanence
of the Republic will be jeopardized.
Surely the descendants of the men
who fought and bled at Valley Forge

to bind the shackles of intolerable

al liberty and happiness is guaranteed
alike by the constitution of the Repub.
lie and the teaching Of the Catholic
Church.
In order to understand the reason
for the antagonism between the Cath
olic Church and the American saloon
it is necessary to have a general con.
ception, a. least, of what the saloon
as an institution represents. No mat
ter what theory We may hold regard
ing the origin Of the saloon, 1t cannot
be denied that, in its present form,

over. the saloon strikes at the very
cornerstone Of our rights as citizens
by fastening itself on the body polite
and placing its own welfare above
that Of the state and of the nation.
The saloon depends upon political cor.
ruption for its very existence. It is
the recruiting ground Of the would-be
politicians. It controls the ward eau

debating nominations and defeating
candidates not pledged to its interests.
1t makes no secret Of the fact that
1t is in politics for the purpose of
making strenuous efforts to send to
tho halls Of legislation candidates
pledged to vote as it dictates. To ac-
complish this 1t turns over to its favor

vicious, and the purchasable members
Of society. It is a notorious fact that
''the brewery vote and the saloon vote

ceit have increased to such an alarm.
ing extent that even the brewers have
reached the conclusion that the saloon
ought to be divorced from politics.
They realize that 1t is in almost every
worst element in the political arena;
and its withdrawal from this associa-
tion would undoubtedly improve the
prospects for a cleaner and better con-
Quoted municipal government.
By reason of this alliance the saloon
carries on its business in defiance of
the law. It arrogates to itself the
right to fepudiate all authority; and
thus it sots itself in opposition to the
law whenever its interests conflict
with the general good of the commu-
