One Of the direct and pungent news
paper writers Of to-day Is E. w Howe,
whose life and work IN ths new Western
states have given him ample opportunity
for observation and whose newspaper ex-
perienee has afforded him unusual facili-
ties for correct deductions. or course,
next to political questions, the temper
ance question occupies the field Of public
discussion in the Western states and
sometimes. as in Iowa and Kansas it
takes the precedence Of all othe r
questions.
In his book, "The Story Of a Country
Town." Mr.. Howe. though himself an
advocate Of temperance, says
Because temperance is right, too many
insist that II must prevail, although the
experience Of ages proves that it never
was, and never win become common
virtue. We might reason with equal
goodness Of heart. that because children
are pretty and healthy. that they should
never be stricken down with disease, end
die, although our sorrowing hearts tell
us that the reverse is the rule. In every.
thing else we profit from experience. but
we seem TO have learned nothing from
the past in dealing with intemperance
The methods used for its suppression
now are exactly the same as were useC
hundreds Of years ago, although
we know them TO De Ineffective. Al
sensible people, as peopl,
desiring the good OF the unfortunate, we
cannot afford to practice methods which
we know beforehand will b. Of no avail
lntemperance is growing too rapidly t
admit Of an unsatisfactory pretense tina
we have discharged our duty, and Will
the theory advanced by the writer Of thil
may not be the best one, II is certain tina
the one generally adopted Is wrong, 70
the people are disheartened and discour
aged, because with all their work the,
have accomplished nothing.
From sush q source, calmly written
in book-form, subject to mature though
and careful revision, these are notabl
criticisms. They agree to the genera
observations made here, that the meal
ures adopted by the Legislature at th
suggestion Of the various societies hav
not decreased drunkenness to any Apr,
ciable extent, though they have cause
the liquor dealers some annoyance an
some expense.
Howe seems to be impressed with th
fact that no new and hence no sensible
effective measures have been adopted I
promote temperance His stricturs
teach that either something new, sensibl
and effective should be done to restrit
and repress over indulgence in liquor
because all Of the old plans have faile,
OF that nothing at all should be done g,
cept to license the dealer, preserve ord,
and collect revenue.

Gratis would take some interest in them

their case excites no interest

with an Office or two the agitation ceases
and they all vote the Republican ticket
again as they are bid or bought. Their
future depends upon their own virtue and
