CONSIDERING that the people are al
most universally In favor Of temperance
and opposed to drunkenness 1t is curious
how few effective or even sensible laws
have been enacted to prevent the one
and promote the other There have been
laws and statutes Of all kinds, all degrees,
but we think we can safely say that they
have all been either absolute failures OF
lamentable disappointments. A CLEAN
OF wisdom on this subject emanates now
and then very unexpectedly from GER
tain quarter. Here is one for example
from Mrs w. b. Rhoades OF North
avenue, Allegheny, Pa, state and county
superintendent Of Young Women's
Work. She says
We have given up the idea of ever
gaining anything by politics, and are
now combining ourselves TO individual
work We expect nothing, or very little
from legislation. 1t has been shown
that the law cannot make sober man
out OF a drunkard, or turn q bad parent

man from being a drunkard by laws.
however. drastic, hurled against the men,
who have the liquor or the drugs for sale.
Mrs. Rhoades strikes the key note Of the
success Of the temperance workers in
saying that there must be
higher standard Of morality and
gentility. Men must be influenced ia
divldually and personally to prefer a
better regimen Of morals and higher
degree of gentilIty. All the laws which
may be enacted will not improve mans
morals or his manners. The revolution
that the temperance people hope to effect
must come from within All men will
assist them in that work II may be
slow, but It is not slower than the works
