Some Men Who Will Lose
Their Jobs When Saloons
Are Closed
A good many policemen will lose their jobs.
So will some jail keepers.
Some Judges will not be so busy.
But this will be so because who now booze will
be more profitably employed. They will, therefore,
keep out of the kind of trouble which usually lands
man. first into the hands of the policeman second, in
to the hands of Judge and third into the hands of
Jail keeper.
Policemen, Judges and Jail keepers will be pro-
fitably employed than trying to PUNISH boozesOak-
ed men,
Lawyers will not have so many of certain kinds
which grow Of the liquor business directly and in
directly.
Doctors will not be called upon frequently by those
who suffer because the saloons are wde-open.
There are Others who may lose their jobs-many Of
whose occupations in themselves legitimate
enough but whose time is taken up with handling the
who are suffering in other ways account of it.
But who will not glory in this loss of employment?
The man who heretofore has been victim of drink
will be glad.
So will his wife and children.
So will those who have been paying big taxes

Policemen and Judges, and Jail keepers, and lawyers
and DOCTORS and hospital attendants and all others
who engaged in occupations whose basis is ethical
and human nifty will ho Rad Whp fho

the liquor And even they will be glad when they
