WHAT JIM SAID TO JACK, AND JACK SAID TO JIM. (-No. *■) Jim: "Look horo, Jack; DO YOU THINK IX RIGHT TO TAKE AAVAY A MAN’S LIVING? ami that is what I’rohibitiou will do.” Jack: “That depends on how a man gets his living. 11 ho obtains it without hurting the community no one has tho right to interfere with him, but if his business involves the injury of liis fellows he must bo tu’.d to get his living some other wav. Now, Jim, you know perfectly well that tho liquor dealers can onlv fatten thomselves upon the VICES ‘ of their victims. Their business cannot bo carried on without indicting material, phvsical. mental, and moral injury upon the individual and tlio community. And, Jim, I want to ask yon this question: Can you deny these two statements —that THE EXISTENCE OE A PUBLIC-HOUSE IN A COMMUNITY HAS ALWAYS SPELT TROUBLE, AND THAT IN NO CASE HAS THE ABSENCE OF ONE EVER DONE SO?” Jim: “No, Jack, I won’t deny that, for I would be a fool if I did.” Jack: “Well then, my dear fellow, don’t you seo that by this admission you give up tho whd'.o rase lor the public-house. For surely you will not maintain that it- is wrong to interfere with a man’s business when that business is always and only injurious where it is carried on, and whoro it is not- allowed the community is hotter off. If you were only as much concerned about tho living of the VICTIMS of the Liquor Traffic as you are about the authors of it. it. would bo much moro creditable both to you head and heart. You must remember that liquor dealers can only thrive by taking tho living away from their customers, and their wives, and their children. And when tho poor women cannot handle tho monoy that is necessary to buy sufficient clothing, food, and furniture for the homo, becauso tho money that ought to have been availaide for these necessaries of life has found its wav into the publican’s till, it follows that the grocer,draper, baker, butcher, furniture dealer, bootmaker, and other tradesmen have their living lessoned. Hence, you see, Jim, that, the SUCCESS OF PHE PUBLICAN’S BUSINESS MEANS THAT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS IMPOVERISHED. Don’t you see that, whilst money spent with tho draper does not injure the grocer or any other tradesmen. that which is left with the publican robs the lot? Whose Hiving vro you going to consider most, Jim; that of the authors of the Liquor Traffic, or the victims of > it ? It must bo one or tho other.” (To be Continued.) (AdyL) C.P.
