Tin' revolution in Russia will be
approved by everyone who sees in it,
however small may be the measure
«>f its step, an advance in d unot racy.
Hence it is t hat wc may find some
interest, and instruction as well, in
the fact that the revolt was hasten
. <1 jf not made possible by the alio j
3ition of the vodka traffic.
Now we are not going to affirm j
that prohibition caused the revolt, j
i>ut w< do emphatically say inas-|
mui'li as it gave men clearer minds
and subje.-ted them less to liquors
benumbing influence it was a power
nil factor in bringing it about.
Russia is a country which lias
been sunk in the nethermost depths
of superstition, but none of its
superstitions was so stout as the i
mu rot it ion that vodka was the
only thitu: that could give the, Slav
sun ease ol Ins troubles, and no

Orthodox duifeh piled heavy and
strong at i steadily upon him and
with a body enslaved to booze it
was . I. • eia caii also to enslave the
soul to superstition.
Men murmured at their lot In
Russia; but for that lot they sought
tin vodka den. and in the fiery
-pirit there dispensed they found
,m aiiodym which made them forget
i heir woes. This stilled all revolu
ticuuiy ihoiplit. and they were unfit
to plan and still more unfit to entry
out measures which freedom de
ni uncled.
The abolition of vodka made
possible the abolition ol the Tzar

Of tin people. We say that a

no more. He will be neither good

the sober minded unionman, the

it is noi to deprive nv-n of their
glass of beer that it is urged tliat.
Hi.' country '-an go dry none tor,
mi D is in-1 am I,ooze makes
tin it neglect their w ork as union
men. and leaves them the victims
of every saloonist that we say it is
for the benefit of all that they lie
pu* out of commission.
We know and everyone knows
that some saloons have made it a
practice of supplying men with
jobs. There are saloons in Nome
which have secured more jobs for
the workers than the Miners Union.
And for the very simple reason
that those soaks for whom they
sought and obtained employment,
were not working for themselves
when employed, but for the saloons.
The saloons were employment offi
ces. exacting a bigger fee than was
paid to any employment shark in
•any- section of the world. They
were employment olliees wiiidt do
manded their fee in the shape of the
entire summer earnings of the
worker for whom they got the job,
and they left them stranded high
and dry to face the winter here.
it is about time that this sort of
tiling was ended, as it is now nearly
ended in Alaska. The wonderful
energy, the grand efforts, the abil
ity and funds that labor has ex
pended in the saloon, utterly wasted
from the standpoint of the labor
movement. cannot he overlooked.
It has tied labor to reaction and
conservatism, and it lu.s retained us j
in the slough ot despond while we i
frittered away. in hopeless ellort :
against a useless struggle, all out :
energy.
We believe that the Labor move- !
ment will progress by leaps and1
bounds where the workers will dis
engage themselves from the influ
ent c of liquor traflic. We know
that what the labor movement re
quires above all other things is edu
ction. organization and imlepend-1
’ cm c. If the saloon is the place ot
attiaction rather titan the I'nion :
Hall, organization is interfered
with: if the worker lias to depend
upon tin saloonist's favor for a jolt,
his selt reliance is squandered in
truoklina to one who would tan
his hiib for r dime; it the solace
of a ois the ideal that a worker
holds before him. education, the j
sheet anchor of the movement, be-]
com, out of the question.
Tin r ■ is no puritanism in this.
Bven it there was. because it is com
nionsense. we would be compelled
to advocate it
We cannot lightly pass over this
Russian revolution without insist
ing upon the important part the
! prohibition ot vodka played upon
its successful culmination. Over a
year ago one writer said that ir
vodka was kept away from the peo
ple for one year, the T/.ar would
lose bis job.
'i'li ■ remark of tuat clear think,t
ha- i mu true. The Tzar is jobless
today: tic Holy Synod is haying
its claws clipped and education,

i .. i ni huY' taken the pin. • ot the
imperial bureaucracy oI the lioman
o’: - it is a great lesson capable
of mighty small and very close local
applica tion. We cannot overlook it.
It is there for all the workers. It is
;o be hoped that none will fail to
profit h> the instruction it clearly
brings.
We expect that sooner or later
there will be a reaction against prohi
bitioti because of the fact that it
gives-! 1h- workers a better opportun
ity to plan, to think, to act. The
employers who have been advocat
ing prohibition as the Tzar did. to
increase their working efficiency,
overlook t ho fact that it is also
hound to increase the worker s soe
ial efficiency. They overlook the
fact it also makes more, efficient
union iron and more efficient fight
ers in the cause of labor.
Indeed this very fact lias quite
ominously been mentioned in an ar
tel.. published in the interest of the
liquor trade, and therein it was
contended that the saloon was a
very active factor in promoting con
j tent incut by directing from agitative
channels the sociable instincts ot
| the workers and provided them with
| a place where they could forget tno
I conditions they had complained ot
| on the job.
I There is a whole lot in that ar
gument: but just as it is an argu
| inent which the employers will
I take kindly to. in order to preserve
! the saloon, so also it is an argu
ment f'jr the workers to aid in its
| abolition. In clearing the decks
; for action in Labor's struggle, the
I first that must be swept away is the
| saloon. The courage of the keg ts
i not the courage needed: the excite
j ment of flu* tank is not the stimulus
to effort that will get anywhere.
The courage must be the plain cour
age of a man’s heart to do his share
and the stimulus the reward of that
effort in the labor movement.
