Employers Reject Drinkers

A FIRM in Kansas City have notified their workmen that "none will be employed who are seen in or hanging around drinking saloons or gambling houses, whether during work hours or any other time, or are known to use alcoholic liquors or other intoxicating beverages in any form or degree."
The Topeka Capital, commenting on this, says:—
"A drunken book-keeper, cashier, salesman, or collector cannot get employment with reputable firms if their habits for drinking and carousing are known. Nobody wants a drunken lawyer, doctor, or mechanic for business purposes; and to make a long story short, in what place on the green earth is a drunken man useful or ornamental except in a gambling hell or a brothel?"
