CHICAGO JUDGE ON LIQUOR REVENUE.
Every bandit crew that goes forth to murder starts from a saloon ; every panderer has his rendezvous in .1 grog-shop; every den of thieves makes its victims drunk before it robs them; every house of prostitution has its bar, or is in partnership with booze; every gambling den either is in a saloon or sustains a close relationship with one; the pickpocket trust is housed in a saloon ; the payoff joint for the- crook and the crooked policeman is in a saloon ; the professional bondsman and character witnesses for thieves and hold-up men are saloon-keepers or bartenders. Booze has caused 200,000 divorces in the United State's in the last twenty years, and adds 25,000 to the' number every year. It divides more homes, empties more churches, and tills more gaols than all other influences combined.—“ Union Signal.”
