NTEMPERANCE AND SOCIETY

The question of prohibition is as
suming mammoth proportions in the
state of Missouri, and If the measure
,uld be instituted and made effective
it would prove great blessing to the
people.
But in thinking the matter over, it
occurs to the mind that while the
measure is being urged SO strongly as
an amendment to the constitution,
other means Of effecting temperance
siecensidered ofsecondary importance,
or perhaps in the great desire to amend
the constitution with an article of this
nature, they are neglected and over
looked.
Now temperance is the ground
work of prohibition. In other words,
that is the object to be accomplished.
and is the aim Of the agitators Of the
measure to-day in the state Of Missou-
ri. And not saying anything for or
against the scheme, let US consider
some Of the minor reasons why liquor
is drank unto drunkenness and why
men, through love for the wine cup,
drink to their ruin.
Yes, ruin it certainly is, for drunk
enness is violation of the laws of
God and of the physical man. But is
it a violation of The social laws? Is
not the society of to-day, responsible
fer the major portion Of the intemper
ance practiced in the land Pit is claim
ed in this article that such Is the case.
Shameful assertion, nevertheless
true. Let Ms illustrate Look
at the social world to-
day. View the millionaire as he

of our towns and cities, and listen at
tentively to what people say in refer.

For some weeks past reports of bur-

city have been very frequent at police
headquarters, bu. the facts are never
permitted to reach the reporters from
vficial sources. 1t would not de, you

last thing in the world the depart
ment desires to be known. The idea
is to make citizens believe that nc
where in the world are theoe such
efficient detectives as those who are
employed to protect their lives and
property. Whenever a burglary il
committed the detectives impress up
20 the victim the importance of keep
ing the affair secret, and urge it as the
only means by which the property can
be recovered and the criminals brought
70 justice. Having thus silenced the
party most interested the department
zee to it that nothing leaks out from

each theft are suppressed and each
victim believes he is the only one in

entrance through the kitchen window.
A stuffed turkey, in readiness to be |
placed in the stove to be cooked for
dinner Sunday, was lying on the table.
1t must have proved very tempting,
il the burglars took it, and no doubt
enjoyed it themselves that day for
dinner. After going through the
10 wer portion OF the house and finding
hat they wanted except the turkey,
they walked up stairs. The door of
Mr.. Garneaus room was open and the
thieves entered. On the bureau was
