Drunkenness and Crime

A drunkard, no matter who he is, it is
impossible 10 deny, is dangerous be-
ing. and as dangerous as treacherous
In the interest of the general security
lunatics are confined, and rightly so,
What is the aIco-oLque but a Iunatic.
and a much less interesting lunatjc
than many of the unfortunate people
who owe their state of mind to heredi-
tary causes? The latter are not sinh
jected to trial, and they are confined ::
the former are tried, and often enough
they ara acquitted. Why? Because
juries accept as proof of innocence the
extraordinary assertion that at the
moment of crime the drunkard did n, +
know what he was doing. This is posi-
BILE; but 1 repeat that when he began
to drink he knew where the LIQUOR was
leading him, and consequently, when
the crime has been committed, it is
absurd to prefer that it is not the
consequence of long generalization,
of daily moral degradation, of a step
almost automatically calculated, to-
wards madness.
The number of crimes resultiny from
alcohol in this country grows from day
to day. Statistics prove the statement.
and inasmuch as the law protects us
against involuntary madness, so worthy
of compassion, l seek in vain for some
substantial reason why it does not pro-
teot US from the voluntary madness
born OF alcohol, and why it permits
confirmed drunkard to mix in society.

TEMPERANCE.
BY MISS C. S. BURNETT.

The liquor traffic is so pernicious in
all its bearings, so inimical to the inter
ests of honest trade, so repugnaut to
the moral sense, so injurious to the
peace and order of society, so hurtful
to the homes. to the church, and to the
body polite, and so utterly antagonistio
to all that is precious in life. that the
only proper attitude toward it for
Christians is that of relentless hostil-
ity. 1t can never be legalized without
sin. No temporary device for regulat-
ing it can become substitute for pro-
hibition. License, high or low, IS
vicious in principle, and poWerless as a
remedy.-Extract from the Methodist
Bishops Quadrennial Address.

Society?"
"Been waitin' to join the Anti-Pov-

but amt got the dollar"

tits temperance pledge"
The liquor traffic is one of the things
that is tolerated. 1t is an evil unmiti-
gated and of great proportions. No
man and no community would suffer if
every saloon were closed and every
QIHnhnlin
For the representatives, therefore, of q
tolerated evil to assume that thew are
being abused and their rights trampled
on when society seeks to exercise a re-
straint over the business, is a false
position to take, Eand when they go to
the other extreme and noislly deny the
right of society to protect itself, they
arouse to action 8 spirit powerful
enough to throttle them and crush
them into the dust.-Chicago Mail
President Bascom says that "the fact
that this problem involves the most
profound moral issues ought not to en-
barrass US in invoking the aid of the
law in doing those things Tor which law
is instituted. There is no new princi
pie involved in the law, no unusual
trespass on personal liberty. 1t is
gross caricature to say that prohibition
seeks to regulate what a man shall eat
and drink, and to control actions which
lie within the range OF his personal
wisdom and pleasure. 1t seeks no such
thing. 1t seeks to protect the indus
trious against the waste of the dissi-
pated; the innocent against the crimes
of The guilty; the home against the
merciless hand that would destroy it;
the generations unborn from the in
heritance of weakness, poverty and
vice which is ready to overwhelm
them" tits proved that this law holds
true on all matters, why except the
liquor traffic. 1t man builds a house
in city, he must build not according
to his own fancy, but in method con-
sistent with the security of other
houses" The wisdom of this policy
of prohibition must turn on one thing
farther the possibility of it's SUCCESS"

A Solemn Funeral(p)

An Italian who was member of a
gang that is engaged in cutting
wood in Elk Neck, dropped dead
while eating his dinner. Some of
his companiohs procured a farm
wagon the next day to haul the
dead body to Elkton for burial.
They placed the body in the wagon.
and when they reached Elkton went
to Henry Bell and bought a pine
box for $l.25, which was used for a
coffin. They next borrowed shovel
and dug a grave in the Catholic Gem.

chained together across his breast
and his hat and boots were taken of

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are var
ions, and statistics show couclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
Throat and Lungs than any other. 1t is
probable that everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers OF Tubercle Germs
into the system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life and
develop, at first slowly and is shown by a
slight tickling sensation in the throat and
if allowed to continue their ravages they
extend to the lung producing Consumption
and to the head. causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed
will in time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold
to go without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain bottle
of Roschee's German Syrup, It will give
you imWsdiass relief
