DOesn't Understand All LOra's Deal
tnHs.
From a business or moral STANDPOINT
/ the saloon has no arRumert to make.
! Nino-tenths OF the business required Of
police and sheriffs Is looking after the
/ results Of the saloon. Statistics show that
most Of the cases OF insanity and pauper-
4 ism are the result OF the dram shop
The liquor forces are making use Of
the American flag In cohepdlng for per
sonsi liberty. Personal nberty like that
is all the anarchist, the thief and the
highwayman want.
J No man has any righ, 20 vote for the
open saloon to stand as stumbling
block to the young manhood OF any COM
munlty. The l-liberty-salo oon
party might better take FOR their em-
hlem the flag with the picture OF a
drunkard or wrecked home.

why He didn't do that; but l know He
has a reason for doing Il. It's good
thing God takes care OF lot OF things
\ X you did Il, we would get II all balled
up. There are many things hero we can
not understand.
You fellows will say, III l find It in

You say you will give 1t up when Il
hurts. II is the fool that is always fool
ing with danger that makes It possible
! for doctors TO ride around IN automobiles
No. You don't give It up then, No. sir!
You don't see that argument about any
thing else.
Think of the thousands OF dollars
Omaha men have poured into these he'll
holes. and what have they given In re-
turn? There Is only one attitude that
take against the liquor business-to he'll
with II.
The people who are opposed to the anti
liquor movement are like the Idaho mar
who stole some bacon. After he was ar
rested he secured an attorney, but the
latter did not want TO take the case be
cause his client was guilty. But he wal
persuaded TO go ahead.
Five witnesses testified against the de
fendant, making a strong case, and tn,
lawyer did not put up q strong argument
Much to his surprise the jury returned I
verdict of not guilty.
What do you suppose was the reasoi
for that?" asked the surprised lawyer.
Ten Of those Jurors had part of tn,
bacon" the man answered.
There are too many interested In tn
booze buslness-brewer. politician. owne
OF the building. When you hit the saloo
the whole street jngles like a string o
sleigh bells. Hold dollar In front of
mans nose and he becomes blind. .e
So many absurd things are offered a
arguments for the liquor business.

Every barroon is a recruiting static
for hell. a rathole into which the work
