furnished in the proceedings of
the brewers' convention in Milwaukee,
which has just closed. President Liebmann
forcibly presented the chief issues
involved, * as now viewed by the brewers,
in these statements:
"We agree with all decent men upon
these points"First?That
the saloon should not b-J
used to foster the social evil and shouh]
bo utterly divorced from it.
"Second?That the saloon should not be
used for gambling purposes.
"Third?That the saloon should not be
open to minors, and that the sale of in
toxicants to children should be proscribed."
It would not be easy for the worst
foes of the saloon to present In a calm
way a stronger indictment of the evils
which have brought the American saloon
into disgrace than is admitted in this |
list of reforms which the brewers are
now belatedly and under pressure advocating.
Nevertheless, it is a matter for general
congratulation that the brewers have
been brought to a realization even at this
late date of the fafct that the American
saloon as it has heretofore been conducted
has been weighed in the balance
and found wanting. The time has now
come, even in the opinion of the brewers
themselves, when the disreputable
hamuli iimoi. cuiicr ue reiorraea or aDOiished.
The tide is rising that .threat- .
ens with annihilation all saloons?those
properly conducted as well as those
which are an open menace to society.
Had the brewers a decade or two ago
perceived as clearly as they now do the
consequences to their business of the
course they have aided and abetted, a
doubting public would not now be inclined
to scoff at such utterances as
those cf President Liebmann as "a deathbed
repentance."?New York World.
Eugene W. Chafin, the Prohibition
candidate for President last fall, says:
"The church stands for everything that
is good, and the liquor traffic for everything
that is bad. There are one thousand
churches In Chicago, with the best
preachers, in the country, but it is hard
to get new blood to fill the places of
those who die off. There are seven
thousand two hundred saloons in Chicago,
and for the five per cent of the young
men who are in Chicago churches, there
are ninety-five per cent in the saloons.
It is for the church to fight against the
liquor traffic, and if we do not go lhto
that struggle we fail in the purpose of
Almighty God and we fail as a nation."'
THe only way to put a stop to the
rum trade and to tippling cusioms in
hotels and social gatherings is for all
Igood people to "hit at it" all the time?
to hit by argument and logic and statistics
as well as by invective?and While
they denounce evil, prayerfully and perpetually
to build up good character, in
all with whom they come in contact.
