The dreadful monotony of crimes
caused by the liquor traffic goes

and in most cases they are the
natural but hideous offspring of

How long will society consent to
be cursed by the tireless malev-
olence of business which is as
cruel as it is strong, and as destitute
of pity as it is of conscience? 1t
causes crimes enough every day to
