Dr. Holland Is essentially Jeremiah, not Luther. He can groan over an evil with any man in America, but he is too conservative for any positive measures of reform. His article on the Liquor Inte- rest affords an excellent instance of this element of weakness in his moral teach ings. He prefaces his attack on the Liq- uor Interest with a slur on Woman Sufl frage. Is he unaware that politics is the stronghold of that interest? ? At the eau. GUS, or at the polls. the village dram-shop is vastly stronger than the village church; and cannot he discern the reason of this? Those who frequent the dram shops are men and voters. Two thirds of the mem- bers of the church are disfranchised wo- men. Furthermore every politician knows that the male church member votes his party ticket, Temperance or no Temper rance; while the ''rummy" will vote for the Liquor Interest, party or no party. ThsFefore the Liquor Interest is respected; 40m mP0AoACos uOSPAoOu HI EoAsAOo' Ano natural enemy of Rum is Woman. She knows it only to suffer from it, and to hate it. Of the adults who are practical total abstinents, nine tenths are women. Her suffrage is the natural antidote of that vicious vote. in the control of which lies the political power of the Liquor h. terest. Yet Dr. Holland is unwise enough to sheer at the very movement which promises to put down effectually the most baleful of political influences. by permit ting not only the drunkard. but the drunkard's wife and the drunkard s daugh- ter to give expression to their views re- garding the Liquor Interest, at the bal. lot box. -..
