COST OF LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Millions of Money, Political COrrup-
tiOn, Social Evil, Wrecked Homes
and BIighted Childhood.

This is a subject of VITAL Importance
to society at large, ane one which con-
Germs the health, the happiness and
the lives of thousands of our people.
A learned writer upon this subject
crammed the whole argument in ia
vor of governmental prohibition in a
nutshell when he said that the chief
interest of the state is in the character
of its citizens" and that sit is vitality
important that a people should en-
courage and foster only those trades
and habits which tend to promote in
dustry, sobriety and virtue" In other
words, it is the duty of the government
man to go wrong, and as easy as pos
sible for him to go right.
The stolid indifference manifested
by so many of our people to this great
evil may perhaps be accounted for in
part by the fact that it has existed so
long. The curse has been so universal,
admitted by every one and denied by
none, that men have come to look upon
it as part of mans original sentence,
for which no remedy has been pro-
vided, and from which there is no es-
cape. The fact that this monstrous
evil, which far exceeds those of war,
pestilence and famine combined, is al
lowed to exist and increase in our
country, not only without legal re-
straint by the federal government, but
under the sanction and protection of
federal law. can only be accounted for
by the fact that our familiarity with
crime sometimes so blunts our sensi-
bilities and deadens our feelings that
we fail to realize its extent. or to get
a full and correct idea of its hideous
form and gigantic proportions. We
have been accustomed to look upon its
ravages from our infancy. Rum SELL
ing and rum drinking have always been
familiar to us. We have seen men of
all ages, and in all positions in society,
fall prey to the tempter and disap-
pear forever. The great curse has
been constantly before our eyes, until
we have become hardened and have
ceased to heed it or fear it. while its
continued presence has softened it's
deformity and led us to regard it with
Indifference.
Every days experience tends more
and more to prove that the temperance
cause lies at the foundation of all So
cial and political reform. This fearful
evil is growing and spreading through
out the land. and making havoc among
our workingmen. Unless we make dis
tinct and positive efforts against it.,
and that, too, promptly, we shall be
guilty of willfully neglecting an evil
which is eating out the very heart of
society, destroying domestic life, and
doing greater injury in a thousand
forms than any other cause that could
be named in this age. Surely this is
a subject which challenges the atten-
ton of every citizen who loves his coun-
try, and one, as well, that appeals to
the heart of every hristian.-William
G. Haeselbarth, in Christian Work.

EMPEROR AND MONKS.
Beginning of The Friendship of
Kaiser Wilhelm for the
Order of Benedictines

The friendship of the German en-
peror for the Benedictine order dates
from the year 1898, when his majesty
was present at the wedding of his
cousin, Princess Marie of Edinburgh,
to the crown prince of Roumania, at
Sigmaringen. The archabbot of the
German Benedictines preached the
nuptial sermon, which so pleased the
emperor that he invited the abbot to
sit next him at the subsequent ban
quet, and took him at once into the
high favor in which he and his order
have basked ever since, says London
paper.
Not only have the Benedictine
monks been allowed to return to their
Rhineland abbey at Marialaach,
whence they were driven many years

lobe, daughter of Count Hatzfeldt,
the German ambassador.
The princess was credited with sug-
costing the annulment of the mar
riage, for she wished to bring about a
match between her brother, Count
Herman Hatzfeldt, and the young
Englishwoman.
Afterwards Lady Anglesey and
Princess Hohenlohe quarreled. The
marchioness and her former husband
met at Paris, became reconciled, were
seen everywhere together, and even
travelled together. So society was
not surprised last May when she APP
pealed to the English courts to have
her decree of divorce annulled. Her
request was granted.
The marquis of Anglesey last year
created sensation by accepting an
engagement on music hall stage at
Munich, where he appeared in
representations, making lightning
changes in costumes characteristic of
different nations His talent in this
line is said to be remarka BILE.
The Anglesey title was won by Lord
Uxbridge on the field of Waterloo.
The British nation has been heav-
lily taxed to support the Paget fam
lily. Thirty-four Pagets have been
carried on the national payroll dur
ing the last 80 years. The titled
members of the family have borne
regulations more or less savory. One
of the first holders of the marquis
ate was twice directly concerned in
divorce proceedings before the house
of lords.
The father of the present marquis
was a gay man. When he married and
settled down his past sins rose be-
fore him. One day there was a slight
fire in the Anglesey castle, Plas
Newydd, and a lot of hand grenades
were ordered to guard against fu-
ture emergencies.
The butler hung up the grenades
in every place he could think of, and.
having a dozen left, approached the
marquis, saying:
what shall we do with these?"
The marquis thought a moment
and then said sadly:
"You may put them in my coffin"

A Timely Work.

A reformatory for women will be
opened in New York city this fall by
the ST. Vincent de Paul society. The
work will begin in the police courts,
where a record will be obtained of all
women, not habitual offenders, who
are sentenced to short terms of i'm
prisonment. In order to prevent their
repeating what is in many instances
only first offense, agents of the re-
formatory will call at the Jail on the
day of their release and take charge
of them until places for work are as.

PAPA'S KISS.

"Why don't you tiss like mamma?'
Asked the little maid of three,
As she ran to greet her papa,
And climbed upon his knee.
Her tisses taste like candy,
And is dood enough to eat,
But your mouf do taste awful.
And amt the least bit sweet"
'That is So" replied the father
Her eyes he dared not meet
There's no reason why, my darling,
My kiss should not be sweet"
To him the thought was CALLING
That each evening, with his kiss,
He had thoughtlessly polluted
Those innocent young lips.

And help me take this vow:

A small hint to the Traveller is that,
other things being equal, the forward

most healthful. This is explained by
the fact that the forward motion of
the car carries current of air back

from the lungs of those in front.

THE TOBACCO BOOM.

Speakinc of the big sales Of tobacco In
Richmond and the high price that the
weed is now bringing, the Stanton News
says:
We cannot but recall the gloomy pre-
d;ction Of q year or so ago OF tfosc jour
nails that dread large combinations OIL
capital They were sure that the consol
dations of tobacco manufacturing plants
meant the death of competition IN the
buying of tobacco. The producers were
to be at the mercy Of the trusts, ana To-
bacco was going to sell at lower prices
than ever. No such gloomy result has
followed.
We are no champion OF the American
Tobacco Company. Il needs none. for 1t
is abundantly able to take care of Itself.
But there has been a great deal of non
sensical talk against that corporations 1t
has driven some people out of the ''usi-
ness, and we do not wonder that all such
hate it with a holy hatred"
But from all that we know about ii,
we are satisfied that it has done the farm
ers far mere good than harm. 1t is only
a little while ago that the so-called
'.bright tobacco belt was confined to a
small section of Virginia and North Caro-
lima. But of late years the area has
grown enormously. and but for the efforts
of the American Tobacco Company brig IL
tobacco would have been drug on the
market. That company, with its great
wealth. has advertised ''Virginia Brights"
in all parts of the world, and so enor-
mously increased the demand for Nir-
ginia and North Carolina cigarettes that
there is to-day d good demand for every
| pound of bright tobacco grown.
Let US always give even the devil his
| just dues.
