that the President, if he erred,

most unanimously the weekly

financial question had best be

do no harm. So far as it is an

"a Plea for Drunkenness,

From the Ind. HerAld-Edited by Rev.
George Hardingl
While so much is now being
said and written on the other
side, it is . burning shame that
no one has the courage to
espouse the weaker side, and
put in a plea for the habit Of
getting drunk now and then.
Man." quoth Lord Byron,
"being reasonable, must get
drunk. !" Observe the point
made by the poet. Being
reasonable" Brutes, not be-
ing gifted with the attribute
of reason, are absolved from
the conpulsion which attaches
to mankind, and may, without
offense, lead lives Of uninter-
rupted sobriety. But mans
reason-the quality Of mind
which lifts him above the plane
OF quadruepdal nature, and
enables him to commune with
the gods-necessitates an oc-
casional drunk. OF course it
will not be claimed, even by
those III whom practice is wide
lily separated from precept, that
it is necessary or even whole>
some to keep drunk all the
time. But, as q modern philos-
opher puts it, IF . fellow
never gets drunk. how the d.
is he to know when issober7''
There can be no fixed rule
laid down for inebriety.. It is
impossible to prescribe stated
intervals for getting drunk.
Organizations differ, and while
drunks at intervals Of three
months, or even annual ine-
bria.ion, will satisfy some nas
lures. others find il hard to gel
along with less than one drunk
per week. Every man mnst
study his own constitution, and
/ find out, by experience. how
!, much he requires.
In addition to the Byronit
argument, which makes drunk
enness q prerequisite to tht
establishment of our claims t
being reasonable creatures
there are other argument'
which may be adduced in favoI
Of Drunkenness. Inebriation
