Written for the Prison Mirror.
Before [ became hopeless degener-
ate, [ was little daft on the subject
of "booZe," so much so that I'd get up
at midnight to attend temperance
lecture anywhere between Toronto and
Kankakee.
There is no need of my going to any
details about the inducements held out
to me at these lectures, any more than
to state that did not need the Kelley
cure. But now that [ find myself
away from temptation and its attend
ing evils, my time is spent in rejecting
upon some of the soul-stirring lectures
attended by me.
Have you ever attended temper
ance lecture? No! Well, let me ad-
wise you kind reader to do so at YOUR
earliest convenience; they are certainly
the most sincere lot of lecturers that it
was ever my pleasure to listen to-.
First you are charmed by the sweetest
of singing and music, then the orator
of the occasion holds you spellbound
10y the manner of his delivery of his
subject. then more singing by beauti-
full ladies, and then stately dame, "a
chemist" steps proudly to the center
of the platform, and without ado, takes
an imaginary flask of Pabst or Schlitz,
or Kentucky Coin, and before you can
say tidle dewink, she has analyZed the
filthy stuff and then calls off on her
fingers the number of ingredients that
1t contains, and then you begin to Won
der how these distillers manage to
transform pauperism, theft, delirium,
insanity, drunkards, in fact every
thing unlawful and immoral, into alco-
hOlic liquids.
But what L remember most distinct
ly, is the fair statistician, with her care
fully and accurately compiled statis-
tics OF liquor and the percentage of
crime traceable to its influences. Now
1t is not my assumption to discredit
her statistics, for every sane person has
seen or knows from experience or ob-
servation the decentralization alcoholic
liquids will have upon human being
when it is abused. But l do assert.
that the statistics are misleading. and
gross imposition upon the persons
who are supposed to be suffering the
penalty for being victims to LIQUOR.
more or less.
1t is claimed that the men and
women in our penal institutions, are
there on account of their too much love
for drink: at least 45 per cent of them.
That is, you and L would never have
committed the crime for which we are
now suffering had we been temperate.
Let us test this theory. Eighty per
cent of the men incarcerated within
this institution are addicted to the use
OF liquor to more or less degree, and
l believe the records of the institution
will bear me out on this assertion.
Now the same are addicted to the
use of tobacco in some form or other.
Now if you or I, being sane on all
things on the outside, should have per-
mitted ourselves to commit a crime.
simply that we might satisfy our lust

for drink, knowing that in committing
Cne crime we place not only our liberty,
out ourselves and our love for drink
beyond the hope of ever enjoying them
again.
NOW II we take such desperate
chances on the outside, just for the
sake OF drink, does it not stand to
reason that we could and would sacri-
ice little more on the inside of a
prison, that we might still eniov orr

Here is fair and practical test then.
Every man, Gnmate rather) is entitled
TO his ration of tobacco weekly. It is
as eagerly and regularly taken as are
the letters one receives. At the next
issue OF this ration, it is proposed to
substitute flask of the very best of
liquor, say quart of three star Hen
messy, price one dollar per quart. You
are ignorant of the change of rations,
and still expect your tobacco. You
are handed a flask of this liquor: you
are surprised, amazed in fact. "What's
this I" you say. You look at it-no
one has told you the reason of the
change made. You turn the flask in
your hands, read the label, rub YOUR
eyes TO make sure you are not dream
Ing, stlll you have your doubts. You
pull the cork and smell its contents:
II smells like whisky Might be a
fraud, so you taste of it. Yes, it's the
pure Mccoy; but what does it mean ?
\ on are still anxious about the tobacco
and ask the first guard that comes
along about the ration of tobacco.
"Dldn't you get your ration ?" he saws.
No, you did not.
Didn't you get bottle of whisky ?''
"Yes, got that"
swell, what more do you want ?" he
says.
81 want my tObacco!"
Strange that you should want the
tobacco When the statistics of the in
stltution show that you are fond of
liquor, and that from your own lips
you confessed that if it had not been
for the too frequent imbibings of
liquor, you would never have been
sent here.
But listen! What is that murmur-
Ing we hear? What does it mean? It
means that the men refuse to accent
the liquor as substitute for tobacco
| and are all calling for the Warden in
order that they might change the
"booze'' for their weed.
A thorough investigation shows that
less than two per cent of the men are
willing to accept the substitute. and
still it is hawked among intelligent
people, that our penal institutions are
full OF victims of the liquor habit. It
is easier to deprive an inmate of a
ration of tobacco than it is to substi.
tute liquor, and still we have no stats.
Tics to show that tobacco will cause
men to commit crimes. Will the one
with the statistics on such victims
please explain this phenomena?
