THE AWAKENIN6 OF THE LIQUOR MEN
The National Model License League,
an organisation of distillers, brewer*,
wine makers, wholesalers and retailers,
with headquarters at Lc,uisT'"e'
began on October 2, the distribution of
an address to the saloonkeepers of the
United States, ?n attempt being made
to place the address in the hands of
every retailer in the country.
The address is written by T. M. GU
more, President of the National Model
License League. Ktery retailer
throughout the nation is called on to
obey the law and to meet the will of
the people. Attention is called to the
fact that the people are opposed to the
lawless saloon and to the evils which
hare been connected to a greater or les?
eitent with the sale of alcoholic bever
ages. Saloon keepers are warned that
thev must either respect public senti
ment and obey the law, or lose their
legal right to do business.'
Even the vote that has turned the
scale of the whole nation toward pro
hibition is not stronger evidence of the
change in public sentiment than is the
language of this address from the head
of an organization representing the
liquor interests, a copy of which has
been received by the Alaskan with a
request for publication, it is much
too long to be given in full but a few
paragraphs will sufficiently indicate Its
tenor.
"The people are demanding, and
properly, that their laws shall be
obeyed.
"Society is moving forward and the
laloon must move forward or be out
lawed. The edict has gone forth that
men must be sober if they would be
free and few men will now contend
ihat a man possesses an inherent right
to overthrow his reason.
"The edict has gone forth that
saloons must obey the laws-that they,
must not sell to Intoxicated men, nor
to habitual drunkards, nor to minors?
that they must not exhibit improper
pictures, nor connect themselves with
gambling resorts-in a word that tne
?aloon must cot be a nuisance.
??The press of the country has so de
clared; the miaisters have so declared:
the Law and Order Leagues have so de
clared; the great, conservative element ,
In society has so declared.
"These forces for *ood are all power
ful In society and our trade cannot
afford to oppose them.
??Our trade needs a house cleaning
and we shouU aid the eood work along.
The saloon that is run in violation of
the law or oi d-cency should be put out
of butintss and the better element in
the trade should continue to lead in the
reform.
"I do not write this letter through
any fear of prohibition, *
I write It because I know that the
Urge majority of saloon keepers want
to obey the laws; want to see their bus
iness elevated; want to bid the druna
ard an eternal farewell, and it my hope
that in the not distant future every
saloon keeper who favors law, order,
decency and temperance will join the
National License League and wil
stand as we stand with the real forces
of reform am' fully abreast of the most
advanced public sentiment.
The fall migration Is at its height.
The flurry of life that attends it is a
premonition of the melancholy days
that follow when there shall be no
boats at all, and the trains will be but

With eyes of blue and . yea of brown.

Isn't it atrunge. 1 rise to say.
With all these girls for us to view,
That only one dear girl will do?
ISN'T It strange that we should sigh
With girls about sis everywhere
With rosy lip and laughing eye.
With winsome Nellie dancing nigh.
With romping Sue and roguish May
And elllsh Kate, that we should say
For all these girls we have no care.

Is gentle Jane? only she will do?
ISN'T It strange, but Isn't It true.
With millions of lassies, far and near.
There's only one in the world will do.
Only one that your heart goes to?
Tho oth- rs are prettv and witty nnd gay.
But they don't charm you In the slight

The songs they sing you cannot hear.
They may dance ami sins, but somehow
for you
There's only one girl In the world will do.

Ir'crsonality of Government Repre

World Interest lias been j aroused in
the gigantic legal battle liptween the

has only served to spur the government
on to renewed activity.
In choosing Frank B. Kellogg of St.
Paul to bring the forthcoming new ac

the government gets the services of
probably the ablest prosecutor of de

Northern Securities company which re

of the Northern 1'aclllc and Oreat
Northern railways and has been spe

number of Important suits.
Mr. Kellogg Is Ilfty-one years old and
a native of New York state, a strong
faced man, with Iron gray hair, and
looks every inch the tenacious lighter
that he Is. In trying cases he avoids
seeking to overcome the feelings of a
Jury by oratorical effect and depends
entirely on the forcible presentation of
the actual facts and principles in
volved. He appeals to judgment and
uot to sentiment.
Good Reason.
