THE DEMAND FOR BOYS.
The Way the State Specnlatea on the
Vanhood of Her Voanf C'Uiseus.
How odea do the parents of this country
think of the Immense demand for boys that
is made by the saloons. A hundred thousuud
boys, vigorous, strong boys, buys whose worK
ought to bo makiug themselves aud ttiecoun
try nun, hi a ueiunuucu c*ci j jwi uj >uv aa- i
loons to keep up the supply of drunkard*.
Year after year the demand is made and rilled
Boys with much money,boys with Utile mon.
sy, and boys with no money at all, but with
;ood heads and strong bodies, capable ofe<trii
iDg money, ail are In demand that the money
-Ley have and the money they can make
may go to till the coffers ot the saloon
keeper.
The demand does not cease but continues
*nd grows. It asks for them just as tliey have
aassed their majority, when Just facing the
realities of lite. They would be taken at an
jarller age if the saloons dared to do It. Many
if them are taken by stealth before they .
reach manhood, but when manhood comes i
there is no rextraint, and the saloon keeper 1
joldly hangs the slgo. ''Boys Wanted," and <
;bu di-mnnu will be tilled. The great State of i
Illinois, and many other states, have entered i
into league with the saloons, and for paltry <
ioliarv sell the young manhood of the
State. I
R?ad the license and you will And between
H? iJnnR words like these r I
For five hundred dollars we hereby sell
:o the manhood of oar boys, we give the |
privilege to destroy body and soul, to make I
paupers of boys that might be bright business <
nen, to make sots of boys who might be lead- t
srs of men, to destroy the minds of boys whose
.vords might move uutfons to mighty deeds." t
This Is the license that Is signed, sealed and \
er titled by the legislature of almost every ?
Slate In the Union. Not always for the same
jrloe, lor some States and some cities think a c
joy's manhood is Worth more money than (
hat and demand a thousand dollars for their t
joys, while others, with a lighter opinion of
he value of true manhood will sell their <
>oys for paltry sums and rejoice In the mon y
they have made by the sale. This Is the c
Ice nut traffic. Cover it over with smooth 1
vords, soften the terrible facl as you may, it h
s nothing else than a sale by the State and
he towns of the State of their boys for money. <
iVe laugh at the old tales of the Devil buying
he^souls oi men, but the fable of yesterday \
? the fact of to-day. Not by direct contract, t
mtjukt as surely as though It were, does the
)evll buy the seals of our boys and pays the t
:afih in license fees. And every parent may [
veil ask himself as he-sees the money drop
11 to the public treasury, if it is hlB boy that i
s being sold. Some boys mast go with every
Icense fee that is paid. Are you willing that t
t should be yours ? Are you ready to tarn
our boy over to the State that it may sell j
ilm to the rum power? If so, vote for the
aloon. Use yourfinfluence to build it up, a> r
treugthen and make it a legal institution; b
iut if uot, if you want your boy for better r
mrposen, If you want him to be a man In i
he fullest sense of the word, use your lnflunee
to crush the rum power,?Ex. \
