Evil of Moderate Drinking.

Moderate drinking in some men brings
on the disease Of drunkenness, and in
view Of our present social customs it is
very hard to condemn in a sweeping
way all moderate drinkers, and yet if
there were no moderate drinkers there
would be no drunkards. There is not a
walk in life, an occupation or profess
sion where persons are free from the evil
Of moderate drinking. Politicians, mer1
chants, lawyers, even clergymen are adj
dicted to it, and there has been aud Is a

Giotto was a famous painter, sculptor
and architect in the latter part of the
Thirteenth Century. He was the son of
a poor shepherd, but the attention of the
great master Cimabue having been at
tracted to the boy by a drawing the lad
had made on a fragment of slate, the
young artists fame spread rapidly
throughout southern Europe. In those
days it was customary for the Popes to
send for the noted men of their realm,
more for the purpose of gratifying their
desires to see such celebrities than any
thing else. Giotto was no exception to
the rule. No soone had the young Tus>

against the appointment of Republicans
to the Bench. Far be 1t from us to let
any partisan prejudice affecS our judg-
ment on such a matter. No finer ap-
pointment could be made to the SUI

But we protest in the name of the peo-
pie against all deals and dickers affect
ing the personality of the judges. and we
condemn all legislation taking cogni-
zance of their political opinions, because
it tends inevitably to make their com
missions mere political spoils to be dealt
out here or there as best suits the ends
of party leaders. The present obscene
scramble in the Republican ranks for
the vacancy which Governor Werts has
promised to fill from that party affords
an object lesson of what we are to ex-
pect when the ideas of the moral victors
of last November, are realized.
