LIQUOR AND LABOR

To the Editor of The Republicans:
 What does the booze business mean to YOU, Mir. Workingman?
 You're getting wise to the con game of the four flushing rummies. They talk like angels and act like the devil They give you smile and shake on election day and a kick and a cuss the next day.
 And the booze business is against you first and last
 As never before since the Dead Sea was taken sick and since Moses led the strike in the brick kilns of Egypt you need a clear head and q steady hand for your tremendous conflict.
 And booze muddleS your head and palsies your hand and unsteadiesA your nerves and gives you bats in your bel fry and floating giblets and inflamma- ton of the gizZard and dislocation of the maZuma and congestion of the belladona and ingrowing coffin nails. IL makes you think playhouse and act jackass. and when you're in that shape yosre In no condition to march to the conquest of a better future There are 32,000.0 900 Knights of the ] Dinner Pail in the United States, and every eighth man of them is counting railroad ties. hunting a job. Like the | lily, he tolls not, neither does he spin | All you have to sell is your labor and l competition is so keen that if you | haven't gilt edge goods for sale you | are out of a job and into the street i The efficiency of the sober worker | beats that of the soused sixteen to one. | There is nothing out of hell that will | put you on the bum quicker than | booze
 Booze gives you a red beak and a | black eye and a white liver and a yell | low streak and a green brain and a dark brown breath and blue Monday. l Booze is against your job. Even a l drinking bartender can't find q job to- | day. Not a railroad in the country ! will hire a drinker. Industry generally says to you. No job for you If you rush the growler" You never heard of an | employer advertising for men who pull 1 off schooner three times day. And the booze business employs less | men per amount invested than any other business on the map. It keeps l 2z7,0Oo men out of q job in the United ! States. In other words. if the s63f. . 1 5O0000 now invested in the booze busi- | ness in this country were invested ir i any legitimate business it would give
 work to 2S4.000 men instead of onl, ] 5T 900 men
 And the workingman's share in tho l manufacture of booze is less than in any other commodity manufactured | And nobody ever heard of union made whissey. The booze business hates the trade union as 1t loves the l devil
 Less than 1 per cent of all money in-
 vested in manufacturing in the United
 States is in the booze business. If il
 were stopped this capital would have
 to be invested in the making of mor' pants and petticoats. shoes and sirloins

One in hundred again, has re- markable aptitude, and in in thousand this aptitude is developed into something extraordinary. It then amounts to natural insight and constitutes genius. Now a perfect system of education, if it could be devised would be one which while develop ing to the fullest extent all the faculties would allow free play to the special aptitude But this is just what American school system fails todo, and does not aim at-From the Autobiography of Charles Francis Adams.
