3 FACTS FOR VOTERS.
1 V—PERSONAL LIBERTY.
One of the arguments of the wets
I is that Prohibition restricts personal
■ j liberty. If that be true, the restric
3 tion may not be unjustifiable or wrong.
- It is an accepted principle of a demo
■ cratic government that its represen
1 tatives may make laws which are
3 binding upon the whole people and
f these laws are full of prohibitions and
restriction*! + our nnpoon '
5 al liberties is one of the chief func- J
1 tions of the government. Our laws j
interfere with mip nnrcsnnnl lihortw 1 n
many ways, as we cannot drive an
auto beyond a certain speed limit or
trap or shoot game only during speci
fied seasons. The object of the gov
ernment is to do the greatest good to
the greatest possible number, when an !
individual right opposes the general j
good, the individual must yield to the ! *
general good. Let the strong help the
weak, and those lacking will power. ;
U. S. supreme court: ‘‘There is no J
inherent right in a citizen to sell in- j
toxfcating liquors. No legislature can J
bargain away the public health of the |
public morals.” Personal liberty
| which opposes the supreme purpose
of the government, wastes money and
| ruins society, should give way to the
( general welfare of the people.
VI—Big Business vs. Liquor Traffic, j
The industrial and the commercial
interests throughout the nation are
taking every practical measure to pro- -
vent drinking among their employees .1
when on or off duty, because, even
moderate drinking decreases efficiency
and increases accidents.
‘‘Forty per cent of our accidents
are among men who drink liquor, 90 :j:
per cent of the serious accident occur :j:
among men who drink. Not a single |
so ions accident has happened to an ! j:|
employee who was a total abstainer.
We now discharge and refuse recom
inundation to any employee who comes
to work on Monday morning smelling v
of whiskey,” J. B. Mansfield, V. P. 3
Bolles Iron & Wire Works. ‘‘We use £
j every moral force to keep men out :j:
j of the saloon and we never advance
j any man who drinks.” Wyoming
Shovel Works.
"Men who use liquor are not in con
! dition to work anywhere with the man “
1 who lets it alone. We hope the traf
; flc in liquor will soon be voted out
of existence.” Mclnnes Steel Com
pany.
“The men who drink alcoholic li
quors, even if they are not known to
be drunk, are not advanced to re
sponsible positions.” A. M. Byers Co.
“Only to abstainers do we give pro
motion, a visit to the saloon or an
j attempt to bring liquor in to the plant
! itmntiB inctont HicAhtirirn 11 Arrmrinan
Manganese Steel Co.
"The total abstainers produce more
j work, recovers from accidents quick
| er and is more regular." Upson Nut
| Company.
I A business proposition! If the li
| quor traffic aids business, why do the
| commercial organizations and rail
roads when issuing pamphlets to ad
vertise a state, community or city, tell ,f
about the schools, churches, libraries,
banks, mills, factories, farm products,
I timber, mines, railroads, climate, etc.,
| and forget about the breweries, distil
leries, saloons, cafes, brothels, gamb
ling houses and their products? Why
discrimate?
Why did the St. Louis Times in June
j of this year mention to the viBiting
delegates attending the National Pe
j mocratic convention all of the legiti
mate industrial products manufactured
in St. Louis and omit her breweries
| and distilleries? Why this partial
! ity?
Mr. Business Man! if the great man
ufacturers, breweries and saloon keep
ers forbid their men to drink while
on or off duty, why should you vote
for the liquor traffic, which destroys
the efficiency of your men and robs
: you of dollars worth of business due
,the legitimate business man?
The future prosperity and the early
development of Alaska's great resour
| res will depend upon men who possess
j a clear brain, a strong body and a
| skilled hand. The liquor traffic makes
this impossible.—Adv.

ELECTION, NOVEMBER 7
I was not president of the Mine Owners’ Association
at the time the letter published by George Dooley was
issued.
My term of office ended September 1, 1907, when I
resigned.
While I was president of the Mine Owners’ Associa
tion it issued no such letter, nor did it discriminate in any
way against union labor. The operators belonging to the
organization were at that time paying $6.00 per day in
stead of $5.00, as mentioned in the letter published by
Dooley. JOHN RONAN.
