To maintain the liquor saloons of the

~, Or 50, 600 900 daily, are expended.
DURING his lifetime, John B. Cough
lectnred $500 times, to more than
$500 600 people, and travelled 44S, 900 to
do it.
IT was characteristic remark OF
President Lincoln about common peo-
Pile, that God must like them because
He makes so many of them"
FoR years, John B. Cough supported
the widow and family of Mr.. Stratton,
the man who found him drunk in tbs
streets of Worcester, Mass and induced
him to sign the pledge.
JOHN B. COUCH said of the W. G. T.
u: "AIl the temperance societies in
all the ages have never accomplished
one-half what the white-ribbon women
have in the past ten years"
CANON WILBERFoRcE says the whisky
bill of Ireland is $12, 230 900 more than
The whole rental Of the country. Then
the Irish question is the whisky ques
ton, Just as in our country the labor
question is the whisky question.
A PARK CITY paper contains the fol-
lowing advertisement: Wanted-A
thousand boys and young men to drink
the best beer and whisky ever brought

The habit of intemperance by men in

public, and more trouble to me, than all

ANOTHER Juvenile Temperance So
ciety was formed last week, in our city.
This makes four, but there should be
five times that many. Total abstinence
principles should be instilled into the
minds of all our youth. The fathers
may be strong enough to drink or let it
alone. but facts show that our young
people do not or cannot so we'll control
themselves.

ing the case, how doubly great Is the
sin OF drunkenness! The violator of
physical law in any particular should
always besr this in mind. 1t is physi-
cally wrong and morally wrong to vio-
late physical law. Penalty follows the
violation of moral law, and conse-
quences the violation of physical law.

LAST week we enjoyed the great
pleasure of visit from Rev. and Mrs.
Charles Wiles, of Queensland, Aus
tralia. MIS-. Wiles is president of the
W. G. T. U. there. and an enthusiastic
"white-ribboner.' She is to study our

WHILE coming from the postoffice,
one day, a stranger stopped me and
said: II want to tell you women you
have something else to do besides fight
ing the drinking habits of our people.
The greatest danger, to-day. comes to
our boys in the use of cigarettes. You
ought to try to stop smoking" Twas
glad to be able to say that that was one
department of our work, and we were
pushing it quite vigorously. But 1
am free to confess it is hard task to
teach boys not to smoke when they see
cigars in the mouths of nine tenths of
the men in town, including their fathers
and Sunday school teachers. AS
rule, example goes farther than pre-
cept.
