Catholic Aldermen and Free Love Saloons

A recent number of The Catholic Citizen, an independent Catholic paper, contained the following editorial note:—

At Milwaukee the past week there came before the board of aldermen a question of granting licenses to eleven notorious saloons, most of which are temples of “free love.” Singular to relate, all of the twelve socialist aldermen voted against licensing these places; and, sad to say, all the Catholic aldermen, except one, voted to license these temples of free love.

And yet the Catholic Church poses as the great conserver of the temperance sentiment, and has declared war against socialism!
