ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SALOON
QUESTION.

Mrs. w. S. Stewart, president of the
International Board of Women's and
Young Women's Christian Association,
in an address delivered at the open
ing of the twelfth annual meeting of
the New York and New Jersey State
Board in New York City on Tuesday
last, among other things, said: Evils
of the saloon are made possible by the
wrong conditions existing in the homes
OF working people. Men go to the
saloon to escape the misery noise, con-
fusion and ugliness of the small homes
where incapable women hold sway as
wives and mothers"
This is placing a grave responsibility
on wives and mothers of working men.
Uncomfortable and unhappy homes are
no doubt responsible to some extent
for the drinking habits of husbands
and sons, but it is unjust to women
to suggest that they are responsible
for most of the misery that comes
from drink. If the money which goes
comfortable and attractive wives and
mothers would be better tempered, and
would exert themselves more to keep
their husbands and sons at home.
But it must be admitted that there
is some truth in what Mrs. Stewart
said. Uncomfortable homes do un-
doubtedly drive men to the saloon, and
incapable women make uncomfortable
homes. A big per cent of the girls who
marry know little or nothing about
making homes attractive. They are
unacquainted with household duties
and do not seem to want to know any
thing about them. They receive no
training from their mothers. The truth
probably is their mothers are not fit
ted to train them as wives.
Assuming that there is some connec-
ton between the saloon and uncom-
Portable homes presided over by in
capable wives and mothers, could not
the prohibition and temperance organ
izations do a great deal of good work
in their fight against drink if they
should give some of their attention to
improving conditions that exist in
homes-to making homes happier?
There are more ways of lighting the
evils of drink than by closing the sa-
looms.

The Man in White.

On an occasion, when there was
political gathering in one of our south
ern cities, great banquet was given.
At the conclusion of this banquet there
were but two of the participants who
could go unaided to their rooms in the
adjoining hotel, says the Galveston
News. One of these men was a con-
gresham of several years standing,
the other the mayor of a small temper
ance town. Their enemies would have
told you that it was not possible for
either of these men ID drink enough to
make them drunk without killing
them.
An hour or so after they reached the
hotel the congressman, who had again
become thirsty, started out III search
Of something to drink. He had a pe.
ouliar little habit of wearing his night
robes reaching to the tloor, and so as
he walked down The dimly lighted cor
ridors he held up his trailing gorInent
with one hand. A few yards ahead OF
him he beheld his friend, the temper
ance mayor.
Say, old fellow" he called out, "can
you tell me where the bar is"
The reply came in rather unsteady
tone:
Sorry, old lady, but that's what Tn
looking for myself
The "oId lady gath cred his white
robe around him and fled in haste from
the scene.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union
and Citizen (Dem) says: Lets have
no talk of the repentance of the men
who opposed the Democratic nominees
in 1896, or even in 1900. Let's get to-
gether and give the country from 1904
all the benefits of q Democratic gov
ernment-a government that carries
American rights wherever the flag goes,
and that gives justice to all and spe-
cial favors to none"
The Louisville Courier-Journal
Dem.) says: Cuba will no doubt
sooner or later ask to be admitted into
the American Union, but the Repub-
licans should pray that she shall not
ask it before the next presidential cleo
ton. If a proposition for a little 20
per cent. eighteen months reciprocity
with Cuba so splits the Republican
party, what would become of that or
ganization if confronted with the ques-
ton of removing the entire tariff"
The New York Times Oem) under
the headline. Honor to Mr.. Brantley
of Georgia." says: 1--WE extend to Hon.
William G. Brantley of Georgia our
sincere congratulations. His speech
in the House of Representatives on
Monday. was worthy of the best period
Of Democracy, and of the best repre-
sentation of the party from the South.
He plainly defined the one principle
as to which the Democratic party now
has any chance of being respected, the
reform of the oppressive and repres-
sive protective tariff. He declared his
intention of supporting the Cuban reei-
procity bill because it contained a cut
in the tarih-a small cut, only 20 per
cent, and for trade with only one not
very large country, but a cut never
theless. And he laid down the per-
fectly simple proposition that his party
was bound in principle and by the
highest expediency to uphold every
thing, no matter from what source it
came, which tended to promote the end
it has in view This is exactly the line
adopted by our own representative. Mr.
Mcclellan. 1t is the line that must
be adopted by the party If it hopes
to accomplish anything.
