boys of the evils of intemperance, and |
have known good many Of my friends
who have been greatly injured by an in
temperate use of liquor: so propose to
always practice and teach fathers habits
of Temperance in the use of these eXhil
arating beverages, and in this way avoid
the dangerous liability that some poor,
feeble weak minded men may fall into.
But you need not have any fear Of me;
my mind is determined, and propose to
be always on the side of temperance.
And so our self-confdent hero COM
mences a career OF occasional or habitual
drinking, and, like thousands of others,
finds, when it is too late, that his So
called Temperance habits have become an
incubus on his soul to drag him down to
Il drunkard's doom; and all by and
through the usual and insidious road OF
Temperance.
But shall we lose the benefit OF this
common method of expressing our abhor-
renee for alcoholic beverages when it is
SO generally used to express our con-
victons against them and their use?
Yes, certainly; when common use OF a
term is so delusivc and misleading, all
the more necessity for its condemnation,
especially when the word Temperance"
is misnomer, and Prohibition expresses
just what we do mean.
John G. Woolley says: "First OF all,
l will be Christian. will keep myself
pure. l will, as to this thing, abolish
the word temperance 1t is the Phari-
see Of grammar, the arch hypocrite Of
the vocabulary of this reform, the blood
guiltiest common noun in the language,
quagmire OF definition not to be trusted
by the foot OF reason, or crossed by any
but an empty vehicle of thought"
Temperance, never! Always, Prohi-
bition! This is the only honest term,
and the only safe method to secure the
respect of the good and the blessing OF
entire freedom from the greatest curse
that has ever blackened the pages of
history, and brought on the world more
misery than all the other curses com.

BLUM BEFORE THE BOARD
The Rabbi Is Finally Given
Hearing
Ills Friends Still Insist That He Ii Being
Persecuted--A Secret Session
Held

The friends OF RABBI A. Blum insist
that the attempts being made to break
his contract as a teacher of French in the
high school are the result of persecution
pure and simple, and that the various
stories affecting the Rabbi Blum's moral
ity. some of which have appeared in these
columns, it is said are without any found
alton in fact and they cannot, it is
further said, bs substantiated. In support
of this opinion, the secret method being
employed by the board of education to
effect Blum's ruin is pointed at.
Rabbi Blum, for the first time since the
investigation affecting his character, was
yesterday afternoon before the board. 1t
was a secret meeting held behind closed
doors and reporters were not admitted.
These meetings are not provided for in
any OF the rules of the board, but whom
ever any subject Of pa, ticular interest to
the public is under way..to be disposed of,
this secret manner OF getting at the facts
is adopted. The board of education is the
only public body hereabouts which does
these things in the manner specified. Ex-
Superintendent P. W. Search was plotted
aginst in this secret way, The Herald,
however, enabling his friends by its rela-
ton of the facs in time to save him from
the fate in store for him.
There were present at the meeting yes
terday afternoon every member OF the
board excepting Director Pitman, who is
at Catalina island.
rabbi Blum had been summoned and
was on handl with several Witnesses but
the latter were not called upon to give
their testimony. Blum himself denied
the filthy watch story. admitting. however,
that he had at one time carried the time
piece described, for an acquaintance, to a
watch maker to be repaired.
Director Fulton during the meeting
began discussion of Blum's fitness, but
he.was shut off by President Hale before
he had gained much Roadway. The gen.
eral opinion among the msmb ers of the
board after the meeting was over was that
the charges against Blum have not as yet
been proven.
President Hale thinks that he will call
the board together to discuss the Blum
matter tomorrow night.
