pinness, is to hush the laughter upo1
the lips OF infancy, blanch the cheek o.
youth, and quinch with brutal blows tht
Pickering fame Of old age.
On the other side are the temperance
hosts, anxious only to purify morals, tt
increase the productive power OF the
state, to diffuse the blessings Of educa
ton and religi n, to build up happy
homes and to multiply the enjoymentt
OF life.
In the wake of one loom up jails, reform
atlries, asylums and poorhonses; along
the path of the other factories, schools
and churches lift their heads towards
heaven. One demands of you heavy
taxes for erecting monuments to the
savagery and vice of our race; the Other
asks you to contribute the might Of youl
good will to the temple of God ard hu
man civilization.
On which side may you be found, Cathc'
lies and non Catholics, men and women
of Minnesota? No need to await reply
Your silent sympathy is certainly with
J the champions Of law, liberty and home
| But your active sympathy is needed
Break down the barriers between sex and
! sex, creed and creed, till they become 6
cold phalanx. Then, with banners wav
ing and drums beating, let the trium
plant march begin, and let no halt be
called till the last enemy of humanity
and God be driven from it's final intrench
| ment.
