And precisely as it is with the work of nursing and almsgiving, so it is with the work of vote-getting, the elaborate system of policemen and saloon-keepers and ward-heelers which the Catholic machine controls.
When great men have created the city, they ask saloon-keepers to govern it. Well did the sage say, it was as if we had passed by Daniel Webster and asked an African ape to speak in his stead. Strange passing strange that our nation and city should forget that all love for others begins with a wise love for self.
Also, result of precocity of son and democracy of father, Young Dick was sent to grammar school for the last year in order to learn shoulder-rubbing democracy with the sons and daughters of workmen, tradesmen, saloon-keepers and politicians.
Certain it is, that the partisan press would end to-morrow, but for the narrowness and meanness of readers." "Which they cause," said Ogden. "Just as much," said Peter, "as the saloon makes a drunkard, food causes hunger, and books make readers." "But, at least, you must acknowledge they've got you, when they say you are the saloon-keepers' friend," laughed Watts. "Yes.

He did not smoke or gamble, and was never known to call on a woman except as a business duty. In his profession he was honest, dignified, purposeful and successful.

The census of 1890 reveals the fact that there were in that year three times as many woman hotel-keepers as in 1870, and seven times as many saloon-keepers and bar-tenders. Again, in the Nation's greatest crisis, Woman Suffrage showed itself to be the antipodes of woman's progress.
Five troopers were detailed to guard three gambling tents that stood together in the middle of the camp, each of these being flanked by smaller dens.
