Prohibitionists are as natural a product of our progressive civilization as were abolitionists. The day is coming when the saloon with all its appalling debauchery and crime will be looked back upon pitifully, as we now look back upon slavery as one of the evils of an imperfect civilization. The wonder will be then that its menacing presence was endured so long. "The saloon is and has always been a menace to society. It is an enemy to all meform and the promoter of every vice and crime. Domestic misery, hereditary disease, pauperism, prostitution, theft and murder are alike its proper fruits. But one blessing of our representative government is that this, the worst of ail evils, the eyesore of the nation, is easily curable. We can vote it out af existence. The church members alone hold in their hands the cure. They could pronounce its doom temorrow. May we soon hail the day when Utah shall accept the situation, take the lead of the states in the inter-mountain region, and make her contribution as a sovereign state to the truly Christian cause of ternperance, "The only solution of the saloon problem is no saloon. The history of the saloon is that of lawbreaking. There is no such a thing as its reform. The Anti-Saloon League knocks at our door not as an enemy but as a friend. We should accept it as providential. In other states it is proving to be the ‘big stick' with which the people drive out the saloons. It is non-partisan, non-sectarian, but intensely humanitarian. It will render the inestimable service of organizing the.temperance forces and unifying their and action. It takes little argument to convince the people of the bad business vicious morals of the saloon. ‘A flagrant evil cures itself by being flagrant.' "What is needed is an effective means to give the people a chance. The Anti-Saloon League, with its local option as its firstly, is the key to the situation. It admits of no compromise whatever with the saloon, and this is the only safe policy. It will help prevent the confusion of ideas, If the discussion in these columns serves to confuse local option with total abstinence, the word of wisdom, the dispensary system or any other such idea, it will prove hurtful instead of helpful. The Anti-Saloon League has led other states to victory. It can do as much for Utah. The more nearly we follow its leadership the sooner will we see deliverance from this acknowledged public enemy." of} chu was THIRD TERM WAVE JOWNDEE FEARS HITS WASHINGTON NO LIVING MAN -_- + destroyed Factories destroyed-s0.
