Brewers “Saints
Would Be.”
Continued from page 3.
a great moral question. The good that
alcohol doeauia little referred to. The
harmful effects following Its abuse are
seen by all the world. To check this
abuse Isjhe aim of the conservative
classes, and, hoping to find a remedy
In Prohibition, they are rapidly falling
Into Its ranks. We are familiar with
society's complaints against the liquor
traffic. We realize that there is good
ground for many of these complaints.
We deplore these facts, but stand help¬
less and without a word of advice to
those who would correct them. Herein
llejs our weakness. We are without a
policy. We see young men becoming
drunkards, but we offer no remedy. We
see old men turn to common sots, but
we offer no remedy. We see the scum
of society flocking Into the retail
liquor business, but we offer no rem¬
edy. We see these men gain control
of city governments, but we offer no
remedy. We see the retail business
dragged down to the level of the
bawdy house, and little hells are oper¬
ated in public places under liquor
licenses, but we offer no remedy.”
What the Daily Press Thinks of the
Brewers’ Promises.
That was the situation nineteen
years ago, and the liquor traffls was
then making the same kind of “ap¬
peals to the public” and pledges of
reformation which now fill the hour
with its clamor.
Is It any wonder that, in view of
these unfulfilled promises and broken
pledges to state and nation, the daily
-press should voice public opinion on
the subject, as does the Philadelphia
North American when it says editori¬
ally June 12:
“They speak too late. They have
sinned away their day of grace. Their
repentance comes after the clock has
struck 12.
“For the moment we believe that
they would be willing to do a little
temporary housecleaning if Ijy that
means they could check the overwhelm
lng wave of the people’s indignation.
But their past proves that this means
only that—
“The devil was sick, the devil a saint
would be.
The devil got well; the devil a saint was
he.”
Or when the Milwaukee Joillnal says
—Jafisr-JOf—■v-*"—■-r-J----- «ri -
“It those brewers had awakened a
little while before the people began
prodding them, they- wouldn’t have
such a nasty Job on their bands now.”
Or the New York Times:
“But they have spoken well sound¬
ing words before and nothing has come
of them. Now they are facing a grave
situation.”
Or the Toledo Blade:
“When the assault against the saloon
first took shape the brewers tried blufl
and bluster. How far the brewers wili
go to Improve conditions in their own
household is a question, but the fact
that they did nothing In that direction
until driven in a corner robs their new
programme of much of Its efficiency,
for the people, taking heed of the past,
cannot convince themselves that there
Is any sincerity In the proposed refor¬
mation of the business."
Or the Minneapolis Journal:
"The brewers are threatening to
clean out the dirty saloons. This ought
to keep the brewers out of politics for
a considerate period.”
Or the Atlanta Georgian:
“Can even this belated reformation
stay the onward march of Prohibition!
Few believe that it can or will.”
The brewers know their guilt has al¬
ready been sworn to and proved be¬
fore the jury of the American people,
and this response is only the last de¬
spairing word of the convicted criminal
before the sentence of doom Is pro¬
nounced at the ballot box.

Mrs. M. M. Davison, of No. S79
Gifford Ave., San Jose, Cal., says:
“The worth of Electric Bitters as a
general family remedy, for headache,
biliovsness and torpor of the liver
and bowels is so pronounced that I
am prompted to say a word in its fa¬
vor, for the boneflt of those seeking
relief from such afflictions. There is
more health for the digestive organs
in a bottle of Electric Bitters than in
any other remedy I know of.” Sold
