The "srog shop" is term originally
applied to the lowest class of dives in
England, where the cheapest ana worst
kinds of liquor were retailed Al mrs.
it was applied to similar Establishments
in this country. though the term 'sros
was not applied to any particular kihd
or class of liquor here, as in England :
but among workers for prohibition the
term ''grog shop has acquired generic
meaning and, in this country. at least,
is loosely applied to all retail liquor es-
adjustments. and this is the sense IN
which it is used in our topic.
To 'Pulverize the Grog Shop" then
means. simply to destroy the saloon-as
an institution. This seems like mighty
undertaking. But let us consider what
it would mean to destroy the saloon. .
whether it can be done, ana why, ana
how and when.
1t would be useless, in the first place.
to destroy the saloon if any substitute
were allowed to provide liquor for con-
sumption by the public, so that the de-
struction of the saloon really means the
destruction of the liquor traffic-and this
means depriving the people OF hquor a
least as a beverage. This, it is claimed
by some, is invasion OF the constltu-
tio!lal rights of the individual. The Con-
stitution does proclaim certain inalienabe
rights to he sacred-life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, in addition TO other
things. But, in answer to the argument
that the Constitution either expressly or
impliedly guarantees any one the right
to sell or use intoxicating liquor. it is
urged by temperance workers that the
Supreme Court of our land has declared
constitutional laws restricting and pro-
hibitng both the sale and use of liquors.
The sale OF lqiuor as beverage is now
prohibited in nineteen states. and. through
local option. in many counties and
municipalities in other states that more
than two-thirds of this country is dry
territory. Just last week the city of Du-
luth, Mimi. which has about hundred
thousand inhabitants, voting unit

there are two large breWeries there. This

Such a force behind such a program

High Ideals.

And to what end We're their sublime
efforts directed? II was that the peo-
pie might have a voice and just repre-
sentation in all the affairs of govern
ment: that they should have the right
OF free ballot and a fair count: that
there should be decent respect paid 10
the rights OF men, that there should be
regard for and enforcement Of law,
that there should be an honest and
economical administration of public af-
fairs. that office should be regarded as
a sacred trust and that there should
be full protection for life, liberty and
property.
These were the things our fathers
fought for and won. True. they have
not been fully carried out. but they are
the ideals of our republican form of
government. And the appeal comes to
every Christian endeavorer to strive
for their complete accomplishment.
How is this TO be done?
BY obeying the divine command. "Go
teach all nations" Justice. equity and
truth must everywhere be preached
until IL is everywhere practiced.
