Hereditary ArstOcracy Sticks to the Saloon.
Organized labor in the United States has generally
opposed the adoption of prohibition.
But many unions in states that have tried proh-
bon have ceased to oppose the law, not because they
theoretically favor sumptuary legislation but because
actual trial has convinced majority of the unions
that to forego the privilege of drinking what and when
they please is a sacrifice which the majority of mod
crate drinkers ought make the benefit of the
norty who cannot drink wisely
Thus in Kansas which adopted prohibition more
than thirty years ago. the labor unions are now as much
in favor of prohibition as they were generation ago
opposed to it. Adult men in Kansas have read of the
loon they have read OF other past evils but they
never seen saloon
The State of Washington, much more recent con-
vert to prohibition, adopted it in 1915 This owned
the largest breweries the Pacific The largest
city in the State Seattle voted against prohibition by
ration of about three After being dry two years.
Seattle voted against restoring the saloon by vote

On the very site where once Chris
tians were offered as the prey of wild
beasts to amuse the Roman pOpulace,

sacrificed the faithful to satisfy
pagan lust, q Christian service has at
last been held 1t was celebrated re-
Gently in memory of the boy scouts of

senger service at the front and were
killed in action.
The altar used for the service was
one which had been carried by the
Italian armies through many CAM
paigns in the Alps and was placed in
the west end of the coliseum. The
service was presided over by Monsig-
nor Bertolomasi, who held the rank OF
general in the Italian army, being the
chief chaplain to the Italian forces.

was filled with people. Detachments of
boy scouts occupied the central part
of the building, place in pagan days
used for the arena.
After the mass Monsignor Bertolo-
mast delivered a stirring sermon In
which he drew attention to the change
in human thought which was able to
convert this pagan amphitheater into
Christian temple.
