1.-THE friends Of the saloonkeepers

"The friends Of the saloonkeepers
denounce their opponents for not treat
Ing the saloon business like any other.
The best answer to this Is that the
business Is not like any other business,
and that the actions Of the saloon.
keepers themselves conclusively prove
this to be the case. II tends to pro-
duce criminality In the population ut
large and lawbreaklng among the
saloonkeepers themselves. When the
liquor men are allowed to do as they
wish, they are sure to debauch. not

BREWERS TO BENEFIT ~ PRoH,.
elrloN.

The sixty or more breweries In the
state Of Michigan. which under the
dry law close April 30. 1913, will very
likely be used for the manufacture
OF denatured alcohol. Tie brewers
seem to be taking kindly to the sug-
gestion Of Henry Ford that they thus
utilize their plants. 1t IL believed that
they can make much greater profit on
denatured alcohol for automobile con-
sumption than on beer for human con-
sumption, and that many more men
will be employed.
