LIQUOR MEN AND LACOR.
Uofore the convention of the AmerJr
can Federation of Labor there was ft
demand by the liquor interests or or
ganisations identllled with them, that
the American Fedorutiou of Labor
line up with the liquor tuon In their
fight a,, Mlnst prohibition. Mr. Charles
Stelzlo. writing In the Continent, says
that tbe atmosphere of the convention
was so decidedly unfriendly to sucn
action that the liquor men "were
easily persuaded to drop the entlr
question. Throughout -the conven
tion," continues Mr. Stczlo. "the liquor
men wore strangely quiet, refraining
from toklng any part In any of the
discussions, for fear of arousing the
enmity of anybody whose opinions
might be controverted.
"A mass meeting for the purpose of
discussing the relation of labor to the
saloon was held on the first Sunday
afternoon of the convention, and was
attended by about one thousand per
sons. With tbe use of government
statistics and logic which appealed to
the workers, facts were presented
which battered down the arguments of
the liquor men that the abolition of
the saloon would create a labor panic
"The statement that tho labor men
In England had not only organized a
labor officials' temperance fellowship
with which the best leaders were Iden
tllled, but that bartenders, brewery
workers and others In the liquor In
dustry were not considered worth or

WAY DOWN IN ARIZONA.
A traveling salesman who goes Into
every nook and corner of Arizona, vis
iting the W. C. T. U. booth at the Fan-ama-Paclflc
exposition, asked what we
knew of the results of prohibition In
Arizona. Miss Brown, the director, re
peated some of the statements which
had come to her from residents and
travelers, not at all knowing his atti
tude In the matter. Then he told her
that he had been In all parts of the
Etato, having gone over the territory
for fourteen years. He said: "You
cannot exaggerate changed conditions.
In the mines tho accidents have do
creased 83 per cent, tho edlclency has
more than doubled, and the physical
appearance of the communities has
greatly Improved. The faces of men
look far fresher, healthier and happi

Merchants and other business men
who formerly opposed prohibition on
the ground of injury to business are

not allow a return to old conditions.

had always been accustomed to take
his glass of boor and liked a glass ct
wine with his meals, but declared
there Is not ono argument for the con

THERE'3 A MORAL.
From the Sacramento Union comes
the following: A well-known resident
of Sacramento the other day met on
a train two men and their wives who
had come from Kansas seeking farms
in California. He asked them why
they did not Investigate the country
around Sacramento, as It offered many
opportunities for the home-seeker.
They replied that they had spent
three days In this city and had been
much Impressed with what they saw.
"But," said one of them, "Sacramento
has entirely too many saloons for
us. and the farmers' roads are lined
with roadhouses. so we docldod to go
ebewhere to locate." ,

Gentlemen, your trade cannot be
treated liko any other business, for It
is unliko any other. The liquor traf

the population at large and law break

selves. If the American j eople do not
control It with a firm hand, It will
soon contiol them. Theodore Roosevelt.
