Booze and Labor,
the Summing Up
John Burns, M. P.

In all countries at every period,
amongst all sections of people, with
every class in varying grades of popu
lation, drink and drunkenness have
been ultimately an active cause of So
cial degradation, moral decadence, or
political decline. No section of So
ciety has escaped the greater ravages
or avoided the minor evils of drink.
Its physical, moral and mental disor-
ders have affected peasant and mcr-
chant, serf and emperor, soldier and
statesman, rich and poor. The scholar
has sunk beneath it, the politician,
artist and craftsman have sacrificed
efficiency or probty, character or Ca
pacity, to the vitating allurements
that drink offers them, in its democrat
izing, yet fascinating, charms.
Through all the age drink has evoked
the greatest condemnation where it
has been most extensively used.
The tavern throughout the centu-
res has been the ante-chamber to the
workhouse, the chapel-of-ease to the
asylum, the recruiting station for the
hospital, the rendezvous for the gam
bier, the gathering ground for the
goal.
Alcohol pollutes whatever it
touches. 1t enervates where it does
not enslave. 1t destroys slowly that
which it does not degrade quickly.
For the individual it is a malignant
disease, for the community it is a
murrain, for the nation it has be-
come a self-inflicted obstacle to all
phases of progress, and it lies athwart
the path of personal reformation, mu
nicipal progress, and state ameliora
tion; obstructing all the forces Of
slow, remedial reform and rapid
changes to industrial elevation.
1t irritates where it does not bru-
talize, and makes for discord, strife
and bitterness, where calmness, So
briefly, kindness and decency should
prevail 1t is an aid to laziness and is
often an incentive to the most ex-
hausting and reckless work; it is the
most insidious foe to independence Of
character; it undermines manhood,
enervates maternity, and it dissipates
the best elements of human nature, as
no other form of surfeit does. 1t
stimulates all the 1usts of the flesh as
no other form of excess is capable of
doing, as the records of human de-
pravity, misery and brutality too often
reveal. AS was said of it by Lord
Broughman, at is the mother of
want and the nurse of crime. Cath

The Saloon the
Foe Of the Church

BY Rev. Joseph McMannee, Pastor OF
St. David's Catholic Church, Chicago
Personally, many saloonkeepers are
good people, and support the church,
but where do they get what they give
the church? ! have been pastor of a
Catholic church for a good many
years; and have always preferred to
get the offerings directly from the
people, rather than in an indirect way
through the saloonkeeper. Finan-
cially, as well as morally, what de-
stroys the people destroys the church.
The cancer OF the people is the cancer
of the church; and this is true in a
financial as we'll as in moral sense.
In proportion as a man becomes

MATTOON'S THIRD DRY
YEAR
By Mayor F. E. Bell

The city of NATION is near
ing the close OF its third straight
year of local option. We have
had a hard fight to overcome
and break the strength of the
men engaged in the illegal sale
of liquor, but we have won and
the moral conditions of the city
are better now than they have
ever been. This is freely adj
mitted by everyone who has
kept in touch with affairs of
this kind.
Our fight was especially hard
because a majority of our men
voters were against local option,
but since business conditions
have been adjusted and nobody
hurt except those directly in
terested in the sale of liquor it
is my opinion that should an
election be called now the local
option question would carry by
the mems vote.
Our local newspapers claim
that there was more building in
the city last year than for many
previous years.
There have been more public
improvements, in the way of
pavements and permanent
country roads, during the past
year than ever before.
There has been a decided
falling off of crimes associated
with the liquor business, which
is proven by the police records
which show decrease OF so per
cent in arrests during the past
year over the last year of Ii
censed saloons.

JUST AN
ORDINAR CASE

The following paragraph is part of
a story, appearing in the Chicago
Tribune of February 81, and relating
to the arrest of former city official
for bribery:
"In a little gallery of Randolph
street saloon yesterday $50 changed
hands. AS the recipient walked out
he lifted his hat and scratched his
scalp. Immediately the donor of the
money was nabbed by watching pos
liceman."
This is only one incident in tho
story of wholesale graft in Chicago.
AS usual the scene is in saloon.

The CRATER
By Edwin Davies Schoonmaker

To have gone from home with confidence of friends
And then return, thing that has his price;
To know within his heart that this is so:
To have sold honor yet to take mems hands;
To meet the honest merchant in the street,
The humble workman clean beneath his grime
To face the Sabbath in the little church,
And after service feel the press of friends
And hear sincerely spoken words of praise,
While wife and children stand admiring by
