DRUNKENNESS IS DECREASING.

Never Time when the Excessive Use
of Liquor was SO lnfrequent.
"The men and women interested in Or
ganized temperance work in this country,
are, on the whole, very worthy people,"
writes Edward w. Box in Ladies' Home
Journal. "They are sincere, energetic and
well-meaning. But sometimes they lack
that nicely and wisdom Of judgment
which is absolutely necessary in organ
ICED effort in order that the surest success
may be won. They sometimes, unfor-
tunately, allow their zeal to run away
with them.
"This tendency was recently shown in
one OF their official statements which
bewailed the startling growth Of intern
perance in America during the year 1897.
Many good people, to whom the circular
containing this statement is sent, will be
have not the means at hand by which to
verify such a statement, and will be made
uncomfortable by it, whereas, in reality,
exactly the opposite is the truth. There
has never beena time in America when
every indication pointed so strongly to a
decrease Of intemperance as the present.
There has never been so little drinking as
at present, and never such a strong ten
dency toward moderation in quarters
where alcoholic indulgence is general.
This is a fact impossible to controvert,
because the most careful figures bear out
this very hopeful statement"

BUSINESS BARS THE DRUNKARD.
Society is Also Turning its Back on
Those Who Drink to Excess.

"Drunkenness to-day is deemed dis
reputable in the very quarters where only
little while ago it was looked upon
simply as misfortune" writes Edward
w. Box, in Ladies' Home Journal.
every line of business shuts its doors
absolutely to the drunkard. 1t has no
use for him. Business competition has
become so keen that only the men of
steadiest habits can find employment
This fact the habitual indulger in al
coholics has found out, and the different
cure establishments for drunkenness
and godsends they are, too, to humanity
are to-day filled with men who have
come to a realization of the changed con-
ditions.
"The man of steady habits is the man
of the hour, and the drunkard realizes
this, In the social world the same thing
is true. The excessive indulgence Of even
a few years ago would not be tolerated at
any dinner today. Society has become
intolerant OF the behavior which inevi-
tably results from excessive indulgence in
drinking, and men realize this. 1t is bad
manners to-day to drink to excess. Good
taste is spreading, and moderation is
necessarily following.

1t is thrilling to note how old war
have offered their services to the govern
ment, and 1t is JOY to note that they long
to fight no longer face to face but side by
side. This is a grand time in our national
history and big with possibilities. Mark,
too, how the colored men have shown
their eagerness to serve country that is
their country too and likely ever to re-
main so. The gifts OF yachts from the
wealthy for the mosquito fleet, OF COM
plete batteries of artillery for the front
and SO on through the lists that the tele-
graph has already made known throughout
the country. Even those who in many cases
have not yet been adopted by us, wish to
wage conflict on our behalf because they
believe we are right; among such, five
thousand Hebrews.
The passing shadow of some cruel bird of prey
Unites the callow brood too apt afar to stray
And cen the thought of danger to our native
Upstirs the failing heart and joins the severed
hand.
May we not go one step further in
describing the unifying effects OF this
righteous war? From our kindred across
the sea come approving and friendly
echoes that speak Of the slow healing Of a
still deeper wound and the gradual fading
Of still older scar. Almost for the first
time England has appreciated our motives,
approved our deeds, and given us a moral
support that prevented the formation Of
concerted European action to prevent us
from shifting the malefactor. Though
our prosperity dates from the time when
this her western child went out from the
the isolation that was once ours, and we
welcome her cordially as another gain
from this war. In the hearts of some
there now arises the desperate hope for a
defensive and offensive union of all Eng
disappearing people. England rules the
eastern hemisphere; the United States
rules the western. Their commercial in
terests are Identical; their standards of
civilization are the same; they speak one
language, inherit one literature and
common traditions, and reach toward
similar ideals.
Expedience says-unted we double our
resources; increase our prestige; improve
our trade prospects; and, in the certain
guarantee of peace, raise the standard of
living and increase the opportunity for
progress of all the world. Sentiment says
blood is thicker than water;n union
with England means the greatest race
triumph the world has ever seen; the
ultimate universally of the grand old
tongue in which Shakespeare spoke; and
the final and speedy victory Of freedom
and enlightenment.
Let US see to it that we are large hearted
enough to do our share in that which, as
Ambassador Hay thinks, is coming upon
US with the resistless force of a natural
law; lest, in the blindness of petty resent
ment, we be found fighting against racial
destiny.

Sixteen years ago you could not sell good
vehicle for what 1T cost to produce it. That
was because some were deluded by the cheap
western limitations of our work which could
be bought for a much less sum, but which were
worth practically nothing. To be sure they
looked very spick and span at first, but one
season, il they held together as long as that,
proved to the owner the foolhardiness of the
policy Of purchasing the cheapest without re-
gard to the saving to be made in the long run
by buying of a local dealer and getting your
moneys worth. The INSCRIPTIONS dealer
reaped harvest off these carriages. Some he
bought as cheap as 1925 and palmed them on
on some unsuspecting customer for 800 or
more.
However, everyone who purchased one OF
those carriages is to-day walking advertise

to recommend you to buy good wagon, pro-

In all my travels 1 have failed to find one
man who has given the western carriages
trial that will again use one or recommend
others to do so. When asked what he knows
about western carriages he shakes his head

PRESENT-DAY THOUGHTS.
BY "NEMO".
Copyrighted by Dave 4 Tabor.

When the shells of destruction, aimed
by steady American hands, hurtled
against the ill managed ships and forts in
Manila harbor, they did much more than
damage the laggard Spain; they did much
more than endear Dewey to our hearts;
they did much more than add another to
the worlds deeds of cool courage; they
hoarsely sent around the world pro-
clamation. 1t was that the American
heart is once more one and indvisibe.
Since the days of IS, when the people
"beat their swords into pillow shares and
their spears into pruning hooks, there
has been needed just such strong weld
ing influence as the present conflict to
make the surface unity OF national life a
unity in deepest truth. The unity is here.
North to where some rugged opponents
to secession still imagined dangers in the
southland, South to where equally sturdy
and brave men spoke an occasional ex-
planatory "If', West to the states whose
majorities were strong against the East
whose interests they misunderstood,
East where maritime bias and vast COM
mercial interests sometimes foster an
apparent pride-from the peaks Of the
Sierra Madre to the ports Of the Atlantic,
from the pines OF Maine to the palms Of
Florida-one proud and united endorse
ment Of Decatur's words has gone up:
"Our country, may she ever be right!
But our country, right or wrong"
1t is sad to be compelled to agree with
John Fiske when he says: 1.-The Spanish
system OF government in America was so
thoroughly bad that even in the hands OF
saints it could not have succeeded. 1t
was based upon two bad things, CONNER
cial monopoly and political despotism."
1t is horrible to realize that a peaceful
peasantry has been slain to make desert
wall Of prolonged agony has gone up to
the quiet skies from thousand times
five hundred harmless creatures to make a
Spanish triumph.
But it is blessed to be able to say that
we have heard, and we have answered.
espoused, they bring their own sweet re-
ward, and our reward has come, as l
pointed out last week, in sinking re-
ligious differences, and now in thrilling
us all with one spirit OF kinship and
partnership in the brave deeds done by
our navy and projected by our army.
