There are 1000 saloons in Balti-

W. c. 7. U. COLUMN.

The worst consequences OF the
liquor traffic fall upon women and
children.
lntemperance is the most coward
ly of all crimes. / say of all crimes.
for it must be admitted that if so
long as the effects of self-poisoning
by the use Of intoxicating beverages
are confined to drunkards, the
practice is only a vice, yet the mo-
ment that one is led by it to
violate his duty to others, and tres
pass upon their rights, he becomes a
criminal. Although there is much
intemperance among women, and it
Is to be feared that the habit is in
creasing, especially among the fast
and wealthy few, still the gentler
sex is comparatively free from the
dreadful practice which is so COM
mon among men. Some of the
reasons for this fact may be that the
woman nature, if not the better, is
less inclined to the indulgence of
coarse animal tendencies, like glut-
tony and drunkenness, that woman
has fewer temptations, and when
there is opportunity, is more readily
reclaimed. Then again, woman is
the supreme being in the family,
and instinctively perseveres longest
against temptation, adversely and
unfortunate environment, in the
effort to sustain and preserve the
family bark from wreck on the sea
of dissipation. I All theintense feel
ings and forces of wifehood and
motherhood are rallied for the great
struggle against the drink demon
who invades her sacred citadel
Whoever surrenders to him-and
sometimes he captures all and
spares neither seX-as a rule, the
woman who is wife and mother
yields last,
Intemperance is not a natura
passion. 1t is an acquired appetite
and woman, warned of its specia
horrors reserved for herself is tn
greatest barrier to its general preva
lence among men. Imagine for
moment the influence Of womal
withdrawn from the warfare agains
