(No. 2. Continued.) Jim: “Well, Jack, you are hitting mo pretty hard, old chap; but purely it is right to ask: WHAT AltK THESE rUBIiICANS AND THEIR SERVANTS TO DO FOR A DIVING WHEN THEY ARE THROWN Oil C OF EMPLOYMENT BY A NO-LIC-ENSE VOTE?” Jack: • -First of all, you must remember that many less people would bare to be provided for than you ■imagine. The brewers and publicans are constantly saving that so many thousands would be affected, but this is all moonshine. In their calculation the liquor dealers include tlio cooks, servants, waiters, etc., who have nothing to do with the baa-. This estimate is like their business —a huge fraud. THE ONLY' PERSONS WHO WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE CLOSING OF THE BAR (WE DON’T PROPOSE TO CLOSE THE HOTEL) ARE THE BEER DRAWERS, THE GENERAL WASHER-UP, AND SOMETIMES ANOTHER. Hence, yon see, the number whose livings will have to provided for will be comparatively few, for the servants, cooks, waiters, etc., who attend to the accommodation department of the house will not be thrown out of employment, because the demand for accommodation will still continue. And as far as tho few who would ho affected by Prohibition are concerned, they would soon find something to do in"other and better departments of labor. THE GREAT INCREASE IN OTHER LINES OF BUSINESS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE CARRYING OF NO-LICENSE WOULD MAKE BILLETS ALMOST AS PLENTIFUL AS BLACKBERRIES.” ' . Jim: “That may be, Jack, but you must remember that those engaged in the bars are not fitted for any other kind of work, or, at least, they sav so.” Jack: “WELL, JIM. ACCORDING TO YOITR OWN SHOWING, THESE LIQUOR. EMPLOYEES MUST BE A HELPLESS LOT. SURELY YOU DON’T MEAN TO SAY, OLD CHAP, THAT IT IS GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY TO FOSTER. A TRADE, TFIE SERVANTS' OF WHICH ARE SO HELPLESS THAT THEY CANNOT BO ANYTHING ELSE BTJT PULLING A PUMP HANDLE HALF THEIR TIME, AND WIPING DIRTY POTS AND GLASSES THE OTHER HALF?” (Advt.) C.P.
