Men and Saloons

Governor St. John, in his speech at Osage said: "If there is one of you here to-night who should catch your wife loafing around a saloon you would apply for a divorce inside of twenty-four hours; you would think that if she were guilty of so infamous a thing she would be unworthy of such a specimen of manhood as yourself, and yet for all this you can linger about these places week after week. There are men who loaf about saloons for days together, who, when they go upon the witness-stand, under oath, are so demented that they do not know cider from whisky, or beer from 'sea-foam.'" — Exchange.
