PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
One Of the pro-saloon arguments In
high license states is that the liquor
traffic helps maintain the public
schools A Nebraskan newspaper fit-
tingly replies thus: Yes. that is true,
but 1t does more than that. 1t main
tains a school system OF its own.
While the little boys are being gath
cred into the public schools where
they are trained to read. to write and
to think, the young men are being
gathered into the private schools OF
the liquor traffic, the saloons, where
they are trained to swear, to tell lewd
stories and to drink.
"The public school takes tho boy,
builds up his intellect and trends him
towards high character and good
habits. The private school Of the
liquor traffic, the saloon, takes that
boy when he is a little older, de-
bauches his intellect and trends him
toward low character and bad habits
