"You bco that building," Bald a sa
loonkccpor In Montana. "That Is all I
have In the world. I worked hard
to build and equip It. There I earn
the food and clothing for my wife and
babies. You women say you are go
ing to put mo out of business. That
will ruin my property.' How am I to
support my rumily?" I thought of
the many families that. his business
was making hungry oiiJ unhappy, but
I said nothing of this, for thure was
to mo a pathoa In his plea and to hlra
It was a very real problem. In the
seven states that rocently went dry
there are thousands that meet the
tamo conditions. They are cast adrift
upon a wholly uncharted sea and they
see noth'ng beyond.
I answered: "My friend, when Mon
tana goes dry, and as sure as you and
I live Montana 1b going dry, that lot
will remain Just where It Is. Unless
there Is a flro, and against that you
can continue to project your property
by Insurance as you are doing; now,
your building will remain whore It Is.
Just lower your bar and make a coun
ter of lu Put In some more win
dows, at a slight expense, end sell
toa, cofTeo, Biigar, flour, shoes any
commodity to the very same people
vho patronize you now and receive
In exchange tho same kind of dol
lars. Perhaps, my friend, you havo
not thought that Mr. Brown over
thero who now comes to your place
nlphtly and spends his money, may
come In and buy a ra''" of shoos for
Ms little Mary, who sadly needs them.
This purchase on his part will not un
fit him to earn another day's wage
tomorrow to buy something needed
for his small con, Jimmle. And then
perhaps ho will come In the noxt
night and buy a sack of flour, taking
It homo to his wife to pro In making
bread. As for Mr. Trown h'mself. he
will go to b"d and get a rod night's
sleep and the net day he will bi
utile to enrn nno"rh more funds to
buy a sack of rtnr,,,s. Do you not
sen flint yon may sell from th same
building to tho tnme people who now
r-ntronlze you and get even mora
money? I am sure, too. t'-nt your
wife will he hnnpler and your chil
dren will no longer be shuniort. We
are not Trht'ng you. mv f-end. but
we are flplifng your kind of business.
Why rot trv to get Into nmrthln;

Vc answered earnestly: "Perhaps I'd
hotter. Anyhow, Ml consider It I
see you women are not Just abimltig

NEW TEMPERANCE GOSPEL.
"Tompcrance work today Is Tfry
firntlcal as compared with tho senti
mental exhortations of yesterday."
pertinently remarks an erclmnco. "In
thcRO davs, when 'o!T!clency' Is so gen
eral a watchword tn tho world of busi
ness nnd lnbor, wo are finding not so
directly that a man Is a knave who
drinks to oxcess. or even as n'l. as that
ho Is a fool. A runner who t'es a
wp'nht nhout his leg Is ro g-eater
dunce tr-nn the worklnTmnn or tha
merchnnt who pvts a dram of llouor
Into h's dlpeptlon or his b-nln. It Is
capnWo of rreof hv flrures and dia
grams thnt the drinker of even an
orcnslonal gln?s of wine or boor or
whisky Inlurea the work of both hla
hands nnd his mind, while the hab't
ual d-lnker sews up bin mental and
manual machinery permanently. This
Is I he fospcI vt the now temperance
movement."
NO BACKWARD STEF3.
Judgo Tully Scott of Colorado's su
preme court, speaking to the toast
"Oemocracy'a Cpportun'ty" at a Demo
cratic bnnquet. mado this statement:
"In my opinion constitutional prohi
bition will never be repealed In Colo
rado. I believe it to bo as firmly es
tablished as tho provision for equal
Biiffraco, and I believe we all agree
that any effort to repeal the grant of
qunl suffrage In this state would
prove as futile as an attempt to repeal
the natural law of gravitation."
COWARDLY PLEA.
In every country state ftnnnce has
been tho rock behind which the poison
ers took shelter. "Without the liquor
tax what a deficit there will bo!" War
gave swift answer to that cowardly
pirn. What was the tax gain from
liquor when dropped Into tho war defi
cit or a billion a month? War gavo-the
sudden lesson that you cannot measure
a nation's needs In terms of money.
