The members of the Lower House OF
the Legislature of Missouri don't be-
lieve in advertising for Immigrants''
to put it in the language of one OF
them. We have almost lost faith in
the wisdom of the average Missouri
legislator, and if the body in question
will submit constitutional amend
ment to the people, prohibiting the
meeting of another Legislature in this
State during the nineteenth century, it
will carry by /. m. The crop of
"smart Alexis" is too great of late
years, and too many of them, for the
public good, go to the Legislature.

We are inclined to agree with that
member of the Legislature who said,
the other day, "the best immigration
bureau that this State could create
would be the passage of a constitution
al amendment authorizing the levy OF
a tax sufficient to raise fund of
S., OOO, 900 for the building of roads.
Good roads will bring the very best
kind of farmers to u.s."

step which led to their ruin was
caused by strong drink. 1t is a
common saying, grown into a max
i'm in courts of criminal practice,
that "dissipation breeds idleness
idleness crime, and crime never
stops till it lands its victim in the
penitentiary or on the scaffold."
THE COST OF DRINK.
The drinking of intoxicating
liquors is not only injurious to the
human system, but it causes an ex-
penditure of money that is simply
enormous, with no beneficial re-
turn whatever.
The annual paying out Of money
for intoxicating drinks, drank
by the people of the United States,
is more than that realized from all
other products made and sent out.
The great amount of money ex-
pended for intoxicants looked at
as National evil, is fearful to con-
template. More than seven hun
dred millions of dollars are annu-
ally expended in the United
States for strong drink. The whole
debt of the Nation does not exceed
three times that sum. Hence it is
if the money thus wasted was
saved, it would cancel the public
debt in less than three years. Again,
where SO much money is spent in
dissipation, the time lost in idle
ness, the crimes committed in a
state of intoxication, and the ex-
penses incident to the trials and
convictions of such offenders, were
they all summed up, it is fair to
presume that another annual out
lay of seven hundred millions of
dollars would be required to pay
the costs. Add to these the loss of
life it causes for which no money
can compensate, the demoraliza-
ton, the wick edness, the drain up
on population, the injury to the
growth, wealth and prosperity of
the country, together with the
corruption it creates in all depart
ments of Government; the frauds,
the swindlings, the briberies of
whisky rings, revenue officials,
and men in high places, and some
estimate may be formed of the in
roads this monster is making on
the life of the Nation.
The grain consumed in the
United States in the distillation Of
intoxicating liquors and drank by
our people, if sent to foreign coun-
tries would double our commerce
and give us a large balance sheet
in the precious metals. In fact,
nothing at this time would add SO
much to the moral dignity, happi-
ness and prosperity of the Ameri
can people, as the suppression Of
this wide spread evil.
1t is the
CURSE OF OUR COUNTRY,
