1t hts the Home.

The scene is in a sqnalid home OF one Of
our Bridgeton's drunkards-made so &C
cording TO law. by the respectable men
who are authorized to 90 on with drunkard
making.
The wife and three children haye had
nothing to cat all day. She is a good
woman who says she cannot see why she
and her little ones should be obliged to
suffer for food. when She had always tried
to do right. Oh, that the innocent did not
have To suffer on account Of the sins Of the
guilty, Oh. that there were not 20 many
who cannot resist the temptations Of the
legal public bells authorized to catch them!
We place these temptations squarely in the
path nf scores who are too weak to resist.
and yet who would be able to keep their
pledges. if the fumes Of rum. and tie en-
Elements Of rum-resorts. were strictly pro-
iibited, and driven from the community.
The facts arc, that tie husband and
father Of this home, earned over :200.00
dollars IN two months, and the rumseller
got all but about s12.00 OF it. Theu the
Reform Club had to send the starving chill
dren things to eat. They are doing this
with several such families. Do you say
the man who will treat his family thus is a
fend: Yes, it is too true. But when we
know Of these hundreds 50 sunken in man
hood who are sure to fall, We go right on
running the gin-mills that make more Of
them. and do little but feed the ranks Of
this drunken army with new recruits from
our own homes.
Why would it not be better for all to
join hands and protect our homes and
theirs by prohibiting the manufacture and
the sale Of liquor?
IT might be well to explain, for the re
lief Of any Who have conscientious scruples
about this license business. that the city
receives *29O0.00 Of their blood money this
year as its share Of the profits that come
from sucl work. )-Brtdgeton Mars.

Visiting the iniquity Of the fathers
upon the children to the third and fourth
generation Of them that hate me- seems at
first thought to be a cruel Law of heredity
But the Scriptures often set curse and a
promise together that we may choose.
Here is the promise that we forget: And
sh0oing mercy unto thousands (of genera
tions) of them hat love me and keep my
commandments Why should q boy who
inherits a taste for liquor from his father
or grandfather make that excuse for his
own SHINING, while he forgets the faithful
ness Of his mother aud and grandmother
Is not a blessing greater than a curse ?
Could lie look Jack through the genera
tions, would not the prayers and tears,
the gOdly lives Of the mothers make the
promise sure TO him instead Of the curse -?
Satan tempts a man aud then says: mo
use trying Truth says ''overcome.'

Only two ways ave been suggested,
either BY past experience or by present
knowledge, Of dealing with the liquor
traffic: One ID license it, the other to ont
law it. Under the license plan we have
seen the traffic grow into gigantic proper
tions. From manufacturing 50, 900, 600
gallons in 1915, We have increased until in
1885 we manufactured 887, 900, 900 gallons,
an increase in the yearly product OF 807,-
600, 900 gallons. The increase Of the
whisky manufactured last year in the
United States was G.O0O gallons per day
more than ever before, while in Michigan
the increase Of saloons was 3G4 for the
year. As a restrictive measure license has
proved itself to be a gigantic failure.
Liquor trials have become a farce, and The
whole abominabIe business means contempt
Of law and order and a disregard d
others and all moral and legal claims.-7ze

residence IN indianapolis. Of paralysis Of

days, but was able "a attend a reception on

Wednesday that he Vas confined to his

Of his death was received everywhere with
a deep feeling Of sorrow. At q meeting Of
the Cabinet on wednesday evening, in

ident and the Cabinet officers Should attend
the funeral in a body, Tic President is
sued an executive orde. announcing tie
death Of the Vice President. and directing
that the hags be half-masted on all the

that the Executive Departments IN Wash

the party to take hold Of this great re-

right, and because It would forward tie
cause Of temperance for tie sake Of tenn
perance, than because it would win the
confidence and support meaning votes
of any particular class Of men. bat then
that wouldn't be practical politics. By

Deep Water for Texas.

The growing demand for deep water
its the serious practical consideration,
not only Of the people, but OF the rep.
resentatives of the people in the ma
tional congress' There must be some
cause for the delay In this matter
there must be some reason for the
comparative neglect OF state like
Texas, while territories with less need
OF harbor Improvements have received
the liberal care Of the government.
THE GAzETTEis forced TO believe that
the cause Of this neglect, by which
property values and material interests
in all sections OF the state have been
retarded, Is perverted sentimental
ity on the part of mary people
and downright selnshness on
the part of many others. The
marvellous growth OF Texas, the
tremendous Increase in It's annual pro-
ductlon, and the welfare Of each Sec
ton Of the state, demand considera-
ton of this question, uninfluenced by
"a shriveled localism.p The time has
come to take Common-se nse, practi-
cal, businesslike view OF the question
Of deep water for Texas, for the wei
fare Of the people demands such
consideration Of the question.
Indeed, true sentiment, that
patriotic sentiment which IA
vors ian even, symmetrical develop.
ment of the state so far IA deep water
may promote IL, demands this unselt-
ish view of It. "rhe shriveled local
/ ismn that would pervert, and that has
in the past perverted ali the sentiment
of Texas to the uses OF local selfish.
ness, must now give way to broader,
more patriotic view and effort. 7erm
not any particular sea.coast town
demands deep water, and the effort
should hereafter be to secure deer
water for ItrdS, and not for any one
coast town, which may or may no
continue to do business at the ole
stand, as il may be able to paralyz,
the energies OF Texas by the appeals
OF seliishness TO sentiment,
