BAPTIST PREACHER
CONDEMNS SALOON

Liquor Traffic Scored,

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. lone fea-
ture of the Baptist State Convention
in Bethel Church. was a paper by the
Rev. J. c. Clark. Of Provo. on The Dry
Fight in Utah" Mr.. Clark bitterly
arraigned the saloon. He said in part
AN institution to have right to exist
should be a community builder; It
should be able to raise the standard
OF citizenship, increase the efficiency
of the laboring and business man; II
must contribute to the comfort of the
home. Under the title OF citizenship
there are three requirements to con-
slider, viz: 1t must be honest to be
fundamental; 1t must be Industrious;
1t must be Intelligent. Our factories.
schools and churches are three things
that should contribute to these fun
damenta three-fold requirements.
The saloon does not contribute any
one of these three qualifications. The
railroad companies in their folders
descriptive OF the scenic attractions as
we'll as industrial activities along their
routes. make no mention Of saloons or
brewerieA Real estate agents in
enumerating reasons to prospective
customers. never refer to presence of
saloons as one of the desiderate fea-
lures OF the locations offered for sale.
The many periodic fairs over the
country make a great display Of local
resources and industries. but they
never make any showing of the fin
ished product OF the saloon. You will
find that in the penitentiaries where
liquor sends so per cent of the in
mates: in insane asylums wrere 20 per
cent OF the patients are sent there by
drink. and in the poorhouse where 30
per cent OF the paupers are there be-
cause OF whiskey. Truly. the saloon Is
not a community builder. A nations
prosperity depends on it's producing
power; saloon decreases a nations
producing power. The prosperity Of
a nation depends on the conservation
of the home: the liquor traffic attacks
and destroys the home"

SPECIAL LICENSE FOR
DISPENSER OF DRINKS
Attorney General Pollard win Be
Asked For Ruling ON New
Law.

Will every dispenser OF soft drinks
in the State be required to obtain a
special license under the prohibition
act? That IL the latest question that
students OF the new law are asking
and, 1t is believed. will be put up to
the highest legal authority in the
State-the torney-general-for an
answer.
The prohibition law distinctly states
that a license will be necessary to sell
every drink that does not come within
the term OF ardent spirits Does
this mean milk coffee. tea, water and
the other soft drinks, and that the
Hastings Court will be required to As
sue to the stores Of Richmond licenses
TO dispense these liquids?
While 1t Is the opinion that it was
not the intention OF the law that a
license would be required before milk
could be sold, the act distinctly reads
that such procedure will be necessary.
Eventually the question will be an
swered by the attorney general. but
1t Is not believed that he has been
asked for a ruling as yet. 1t might
be added that no fee is charged for
licenses to sell soft drinks.
