TOLL OF THE BREWERY.

Such horrors as a great modern
joint-stock brewery perpetrates are
unrivaled In the whole worlds history.
Men in past centuries were made chat

sands; but the children of the MUIR
dered remained living. Now they make
slaves of them and murder them at the
same time. They kill them together
with their children and children's chill
dren. They kill them slowly; they tor
ture them slowly to death.

WHY A NUISANCE?

Why is a slaughter house a nuis-
ance? Because its noisome odors can
not be confined to the land on which 1t
is situated.
And who has right to complain OF
slaughter housef Everyone has a
right to complain as soon as the odors
of the slaughter house reach him.
And why is saloon nuisance?
Because its evil influences cannot be
confined to the block in which 1t Is
located or to the city which licenses
1t to do business.
And who has right to complain
Of saloon? Everyone who lives with
in the radius Of its evil influence
everyone who suffers from the use of
the liquor which he sells.-William Jen-
nings Bryan.
