Temperance Notes

Abraham Lincoln has left on record
strong uteerances against the drink
habit and the drink traffic. The
anti-prohibition speech attributed 10
Mr.. Lincoln '.tirst during the local
option contest in Atlanta in 1887 and
ever since that time in the liquor
press Of The country at intervals, is a
fraud, and is SO pronounced by John
G. Nicolay, Mr.. Lincoln's private
secretary and biographer.

be vastly benefited by total and
final Punishment from it of all intox.
icating drinks, seems to me not now
an open question. Three-tourths Of
mankind confess the affirmative with
their tongues; and, l believe, all
the rest acknowledge it IN their
hearts. Ought any, then, to- refuse
their aid IN doing what the good Of
the whole demand?
There seems ever TO have been a
proneness in the brilliant and warm
blooded to fall into this vice.
The demon Of intemperance ever

That one of us but can call to mind
some relative, mors promising in
youth than all his fellows, who has
fallen sacrifice to his rapacity7. He
ever seems TO have gone forth like
the Eg, ptian angel Of death, com
missioned to slay, if not the first, the
fairest born of every family. Shall
he now be arrested in his desolating
career? In that arrest all can give
aid that will; and who shall be ex-
cused that can, and will not? Far
around us as human breath has ever
blown. he keeps our father, our
brothers, our sons, and our friends

THOSE NEW SUITS

Many people have wondered why
Warden Martin of the penitentiary
gave to some of his TRUSTEES metro
politan grey suits, while others with
apparently the same liberties were
still kept in the regulation stripes of
the prison. The Record was inuuisi
tive and found out There are three
classes of trusties-the fellows who
can be depended upon to do Just what
they argee to do; the fellows who
can go about so far and no farther.
and those who must be kept under sur
veilance, although permitted to be
outside the walls. Convicts. like
other peope, have ambitions, and one
of the leading desires in the Colo
rado penitentiary is to outrank the
other fellow.
Warden Martin was not long in
finding this out, and TO encourage an
observance of rules he hit upon the
plan of giving the most reliable men
suits that would distinguish them
from their fellows. Therefore con-
vict who can be trusted TO do Just a.
he promises is clothed in metropoli-
tan grey. 1t is a matter of comment
that there are quite number of thess.
suits being worn They are similar
TO those worn by the mail carriers
ON the free delivery routes. and not
unlike the suits worn by the metro
politan police in the CITIES The chief
difference is in the headdres,. \ cap
of the same material a. the suit Is
worn by the TRUSTEES. The police wear
a hat like that worn by Marshal Nor
rison or Night Marshal Mckenzie,
while the mail carriers wear any old
thing that fits.
Suits like these adopted are also in
vogue at the Utah penitentiary and
at the reformafory at Buena Vista.
They are found to assist very mater
tally in the discipline of the institu-
tions where used. as convict who
loses his suit from bad conduct is
