To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— The retail traffic is every- where organized, but in most instances for local and immediate purposes only. Almost without exception the saloon- keepers are ignorant and brutal individ- uals, and their trade policy resembles that pursued by criminal bands. They are forever at war with the restrictions of the law and the opinion of the moral and religious public; and the value of their organized efforts, from a general pro-liquor point of view, lies in their ability, locally, to perform all con...ceiv- able dirty work with success — to defy restrictive laws and make them ridicu- lous, to sell the maximum quantity of liquor, to take the leadership of the des- perate, corrupt and criminal classes of voters, to manipulate primaries and con- ventions, to defeat good and elect bad candidates for office, and to compel the police and other authorities to disregard their duties and their oaths. While the retailers are very active and powerful in local affairs their open interference in larger fields is discouraged by all the discriminating persons interested, be- cause it is not desirable to have the traffic formally represented by ruffians, blackguards and illiterates.
