WISDOM FOR BREWERS, REWERS from all over the United States have been holding a national convention at Milwaukee. The Place is sultable because Milwaukee makes and consumes as much beer per capita as any city in the United States. The beer saloons are open Sundays. There is little drunken- ness, and the local excise conditions are satisfactory to the majority of the people. | There are a few cities in which this 1s the case. Which fact the) brewers recognized at thelr conven- | tion and spent several days discuss- tng how to put the liquor business on a thoroughly reputable basis, and how to make its traffic as re Spectable and orderly as the sale of groceries or clothing. This is the right way to go at the diminution of the evils of the sale of liquor. If the brewers would they could do more than all the excise | laws to prevent drunkenness, to break up the alliance between the saloon and politics and to close all resorts where the sale of liquor is combined with gambling or vice. | The brewers should have awakened to this fact years ago, that to} conduct the liquor traffic on an orderly business basis is both more profit- | able and more popular. | ~ There are too many saloons. | Since most saloons are under the control of brewers, that means | that the cost of unnecessary rents, unnecessary licenses and unneces- Sary employees must be saddled on the manufacturing cost. The result is that worse beer is brewed, that it does more harm than good, pure beer, and that the brewers find that the cheaper beer makes less net profit. Every big saloon keeper has found out that drunken men drive away trade, and that disorderly persons Cause respectable customers to avoid the place. The most profitable sa- loons are the most orderly and decent. i The brewers of New York could close the majority of the Raines law om hotels, resorts with back rooms for women and low dives by simply re- fusing to have anything to do with them either in the way of guarantee- ing rent or furnishing the license money or letting them have any beer. Without beer disorderly resorts could not sell beer. If brewers did not furnish the beer such places would have none to sell. Many men vote for local option or prohibition in their localities not because they are opposed to selling liquor and do not take a drink ow and then themselves and keep beer and whiskey in the house, but because they want to close some dive or low saloon which injures the aeighborhood where they live, hurts the value of their Property, increases nm the local taxes and demoralizes a “ah oe of the populace. | m Close of their convention es the brewers passed resolutions pledging themselves against disor- derly saloons and against the sale of liquor on all premises where| there is gambling or vice. | They should put this promise into! immediate action. | Contrary to the principles of personal liberty as is prohibition, many localities have been brought! to prohibit the sale of liquor in self-| defense against vile resorts and | moralizing methods. Many men) have voted to put themselves to considerable personal inconvenience and expen-e because the brewers’ agents put men in the saloon business | who should have been kept out and created resorts which brought crime) and_ disorder. | Letters from the People. | confine thetr annoying demonstrations | r ulur day and night.

By Maurice Ketten. By Albert Payson Terhun to Statesmuin. | HE young Ohio ex-soldier’s first excursion into politics was brief. Whem T he came up for re-election, after one term as prosecuting attorney, he was defeated and had to fall back on his small private law practice for a ving. This was in 1871. The same year he married Mise tam | Saxton. They had two daughters. Hoth children died !n infancy. Mra Me | Kinley’s own health broke down, and she became a lifelong invalid. The most beautiful quality in all McKinley’s etrong, gentle character was hi |tender devotion and loyalty to this sick woman. To the end of his days he adored her, and stood between her frafl health and every outside annoy- lance. His attitude toward her seemed less that of husband to wife than of. jan infinitely kind father toward a suffering child. In 1876 Major McKinley ran for Congress !n an Ohio district that usu- tally went Democratic. He won the contest and was re-elected again and again, serving almost continuously in the House of Representatives from | 1877 to 1890. As Congre:aman he at once made his mark, becoming recoge nized as a clear thinker, @ brilliant orator and an able debater. He was, ja bis first Congressional term, appointed to the Judiciary Committee, and in 1880 succeeded Garfield on the Ways and Mean; Committee, nine years af- |terward becoming this latter committee's chairman. While he spoke and | worked to effect on many topics, his chief labor in Congress dealt with the | tariff. He was a stanch protectionist and was author ® of the famous McKinley bill, which won him national reputation (and, incidentally, the Presidency). This bill was reported to Congress in May, 1890, ——_—~~~rY?.___ by the Ways and Means Committee, of which McKi jley was chairman. It raised the duties on wool, tin plate and certain agri- |cultural products, and removed the duties from some of the main necessities |of life. It had also a “reciprocity” clause, calling for the removal of duties on some of the products of such nations as should take off the tax on arti- |cles imported from the United States. The bill became law the same year. la was repealed in 1894. Mr. McKinley himeelf sald of it: “It didn’t take away a single day's work from a single American worke ingman. It gave work and wages to all, such a; they had never had before, * * © It raised all the revenue necessary to pay the vast expenditures of |the Government. * ® # No man can assert that in the industries affected | by it wages were too high, although they were higher than ever before in |this or any other country, * * * Neither producer nor consumer, em- ployer nor employee, suffered by this law.” Defeated for re-election to Congress in 1890, McKinley was nominated |and eleoted Governor of Ohio the next year. It was then, in his campaign | speeches, that he became generally known as the champion of the gold stand- ard in currency against the adherents of free silver. So well did he serve as Governor that he was elected by a much larger majority to a second term. He fought for the “eight-hour” day and established a State Board of Arbitration to settle labor questions. He started (like Gov. Cleveland in New York) an cra of official simplicity and banished red tape from State business. In the case of riots and other disturbance;, while he was Governor, he also showed that he could on occasion be firm as @ rock. It was in 1893—Iin the full flush of McKinley’s rive toward the highest office in the land—that a blow fell which threatened to end, once and for al, |his career. He indorsed the notes of R. L. Walker, who had befriended him (in earlier days. McKinley knew little of practical busines and thought his jendorsements covered only a limited sum. But when Walker failed (after }d'scounting the notes) McKinley found himself liable for almost $100,008, | He wa; thunderstruck at the news, but at once declared he would pay off | every dollar of the debt. He had a house at Canton and about $20,000 that jhe had saved. His wife had inherited $75,000. All this money they assigned |to trustees to turn over to their creditors. McKinley said at the time: “There 1s but one thing to do; meet this unlooked-for burden es best | Sees } The 2 McKinley Bill. . 1,can.
