TEMPTATION.

From the creation of the world until the
present time, the tempter has always been
looked upon as being worse than the tempted
one, LEAD us not into temptation" The
rumseller hardens his heart and tempts those
who have desire to imbibe strong drinks
The rumseller like the spider in his web, re-
mains in his snug and cozy bar-room, waiting
for his victims to come in, provided they
have any cash, when he systematically pro-
eeeds to obtain all the money possessed by
the deluded victim, which has been acquired
by laborious efforts. Why is the rumseller
more privileged than the druggist? Suppose
confirmed opium eaters or laudanum drinkers
should walk into drug store and ask for a
dimes worth of the deadly drug-what would
be thought of the druggist who would pander
to the victims depraved appetite; yet he
would be no worse than the former, who
stands behind twelve men license screen,
which satisfies his scared conscience There
is no business that is like rumselling It
brushes all the finer sensibilities, and lowers
man to plane where 50 Mans inhumanity to
man makes countless thousands mourn"

LETTER FROM PENNsGRovE.

There was sad and sudden death near
Pennsgrove last Thursday afternoon. Mrs.
Rebecca Sparks, wife of George p Sparks,
died in ten minutes after she had left her
husband in the garden and was preparing to
take ride; up to that time she was in fair
health. The funeral on Sunday was very
large. Mr. Sparks has been tried in the
school of affection by the loss of relatives,
but this is among the Unreasonable woes to
him. She was christian for many years, a
good mother, wife and friend.
Prof. Pierce had splendid musical enter
tainment last Friday evening. The monotony

WE GIVE the following extracts, taken from
letter written by friend of our paper and
temperance:
81 thank you for your solicitation to con-
tribute to the MONITOR I should have writ
ten sooner but have been indisposed With
good mate or captain on the MONITOR, it
would make rattle from bay to ocean To
give it force and weight it should be printed
at your place, and with colors hoisted and
hailing from Woodstown, much might be ac-
complished There is certainly grand open
ing there for first-ciass independent paper
fearless of the rum power, and free from its
corrupting and debasing influences
The paper already has good TASTE variety
and cheapness, and should reach a thousand
homes. Back of the MONITORS easy chair
are $4,000 temperance workers and thinkers
We are approaching a glorious epoch, a grand
revolution in temperance, and happy is he
who yields the sword in the cause of human
ity and right

Some of the English medical journals have
already begun to point out the great import
ance of not overlooking infants with starchy
foods, such as bread, farina Cruel, etc., as
the warm season advances. Such over-feed-
ing is fruitful cause of the large infant NOR
tally. The one article most necessary to the
life of the child at all times is water
In France, last year, 1928 judicial separa-
tons or divorces were asked for and 2,806
were granted. Eighty-six per cent. were de-
manded by wives. The number of marriages
was $50, 400.

Woodbury..

The April term of court now in session here,
has granted the usual number of applications to
continue the drunkard making business through
out the county. In looking over the list OF
signers, one is struck with amazement and
surprise because of the absence of names of the
better element of society and the substitution OF
those who are not looked upon MS the best OF
our people, and who in turn are left out in the
cold when there is to be big time about Christ
mas. "for the little ones sake" and only the
better element invited; good enough to serve to
get licenses but not good enough for the feast.
Isn't it strange that men can be found of such
stupidity?
The people of Mullica Hill made grand
fight against the application of Fry Hopkins,
but to no purpose. The politicians need all the
rum holes for the presidential campaign, so the
man who proved so recreant to his trust was
granted license and told by the court to look out
for the future, as he might have his permit (to
make drunkards) Cancelled
So with the Hurffville people; they, neverthe-
less with their strong opposition, are compelled
to endure the pestilence for some time; but not
so with our more fortunate town, as John

opposed by the Alliance, and withdrew his ap-
plication, and in turn has knocked at the door
of council for license to sell beer by the small.
1t is claimed by some that this man sold more
beer without license than with city license. II
this is so why does he ask permission to open
his house free from all restrictions? In looking
over the council only three names can be count
ed sure for his request, and if he should succeed
in getting his license, Mayor Dawson will use
the veto power and six members will be neces-
sary to pass over the veto, which your scribe
fails to count Will let you know how the ap-
plication fares in my next.
Some writers are trying to show that high
license will bring large amount of money
into the public treasury and thus help to run
the government
If money could be made by high license,
who is so corrupt as to be willing to take
money in that way? If it is wrong to sell
liquor without license, we don't hesitate to
say that the state is guilty of all the crime
committed through the sale of liquor if, for a
money consideration it licenses men to sell
it. The results are the same whether liquor
is sold under the restraints of license or not.
But, we claim that the liquor crime is a
great financial loss to the state when we con-
slider the money aspects of the question only.
