League Reports That II,
000 Saloons Wero Voted
Out In 1909.
CHICAGO, Ills., Dec. 8. Eleven
thousand saloons wero voted out of
existence nnd 4.000 more were forced
to close their doors in 1009, ncord-
iig to the report of Dr. V. A. Baker,
nencrnl superintendent of the onti
snloon lenRiie, in convention hero. Dr.
Baker said:
"Since Jnunnry 1, 1909, saloons
linve been closed at the rnto of forty
n day, that 70 per cent of tho area
of the United States forbids licensed
liquor traffic tells onlyn part of the
visible resnlts. Xo power of evil on
enrth can long withstand this con
tinued onslaught. The bates of hell
cannot prevail against it.
"There is no class that suffers so
much from the drink traffic as those
-who perform manual labor and there
is no claES so much exploited by the
saloon and brewery element as they.
The jjreat labor movement is yet to
become a great spiritual and religious
movement"
