those upon which alone the recon
struction Of community of nations
can rest, guaranteeing just and

 Maybe there have been times when the saloon has had some political power and had to be reckoned with ia that respect, but now it is recognized as down and out and we can let that side of the matter drop. That puts it on simple business basis. and in that respect it gives less work and does more harm than anything else in town.
