The Hamburger Bill.

THE BILL INTRODUCED by Sen
ator Bamberger to allay the evils
of intemperance and prohibit
drunkenness would be, if successful, a
blessing. Remedies for the suppression
Of drinking habits have been tried in all
civilized countries, and all with the
same result, namely, failure. Any
cure that is based on a false principle,
instead of curing, only aggravates the
evil. When the canteen was banished
from the army headquarters we were
assured that our soldiers would be-
come more sober and virtuous. The
verdict now is that drunkenness, deser-
ton and lack of virtue have, since the
canteen was abolished, increased in the
inverse ratio. Why? Because you can
not Iegislate men into sobriety and viz
tue.
Political reformers imagine that the
evils which follow and arise from
drunkenness, and which affect the indi-
vidual, the family and society, are the
result of bad government, and must be
healed by political reforms, and new
legislative enactments. The new cures
which cucumber cur statute books re-
semble very much the drinking habit,
which is constantly increased in fire.
quency and quantity until the victim
finally gets the delirium tremens and
dies. Superfiuous laws will not sober
the drunken husband, nor will they
make the lazy and indolent industrious
and diligent. For a thousand years
and more they have failed in prevent
ing the ups and downs of life, or the
sudden fall from riches to poverty. I'm
less you legislate for the heart, which
must be first reformed, all attempts to
cure the evil are vain. The great pana-
cea some years ago was the spread of
education, the development of sound
principles in a well regulated home, I'M
der the example of virtuous parents
and we'll regulated homes are growing
scarcer. whilst the evil is increasing.
Some of the best educated are the
most Incorporate Moral education is
needed Mental alone will not do. The
brightest minds are sometimes the
greatest drunkards. Section of the
enactment directs that the institution
selected to monopolize the patent for
curing this hydra-headed evil must
show a certain percentage of persons
who have been cured for at least one
year" But Who is going to keep tally
on the curanles, and show the people
that their money is we'll spent? Like
modern surgery, we hear of the few
who are cured, but nothing of the many
who never survive the shock of the
operating table. OF the twenty John
Does who entered the world thoroughly
reformed with their craving for drink
changed into a nausea at the sight or
odor of liquor, only one may be in evil
dence at the end of the year. The
chances are ten to one that the other
nineteen stomachs can not only retain
the stimulant but will crave for it,,
and to allay the effects of the patent
medicine will have another dram at
any cost. In the meantime the county
has paid out the peoples money for the
twenty supposed sober John Does. The
favored institution grows richer, and
it is only when the people are suffi-
GENTLY fooled and the workings of the
sham cure are exposed the legislature
will again repeal its own enactment.

Salt Lake writer to a New York
paper tells of wonderful medical dis
covery, which will heal all the ills and
woes that human nature is subject to.
He is anxious to have his name, which is
Hiberntan III ugh for the most radical
Land Lacquer, published in the paper
referred 10. 1t happens, however, that
this public benefactor's name does not
appear in the Salt Lake directory, and
is an unknown quantity amongst his
fraternity. He promises not only sure
cure, but free application of his pat
ent medicine to all sufferers. He is too
good a ma / for this mundane sphere,
and as there is only one step between
too much goodness and fraudulency,
like the sublime and the ridiculous, we
would advise this public benefactor to
begin his healing process in Zion. Lots
of the ailments which he promises to
cure are right here in Salt Lake. The
writer would apply. but he cannot find
the distinguished name in last years
directory.

AS we rounded the top of a hill a
glimpse of historic Ireland broke the
monotony of the depopulated land. Be
tween us and the low hanging sun was
ruin, a great quadrangle of thick
stone walls, with the remnants of
high tower at each corner. On the
south front, covered with drapery of
green ivy, the wall was less eaten by
age than the rest.
"Ballintober CASTLE" said Mr.. Fitz-

kings of Connacht.
Grim, silent, deserted, this pile of
blackened stones overlooking the fertile
empty land seemed pathetically out of
place. 1t should have crumbled to dust
and disappeared with the fighting
chieftains who ruled the Ireland of the
Irish. The property, by the way, is still
in the royal family. 1t is owned by the
O'Connor Don, a famous member of the
older generation of today.
Still the miles were reeled off and we

side with houses just often enough to
emphasize the loneliness. One howell

edges a pleasant visit from Clarence

one of the largest stockholders in THE

bids fairly to enhance the financial cir

The object of Mr. Eddy's visit to Zion
was to purchase equipments for a new
paper The Prospector, which he con-
templates launching on the journalistic
world in the course of three or four
weeks. Mr. Eddy was at one time ed

the company is willing to settle am
icably all grievances, if the time sched-

company the full benefit of the en-

hours work and nothing to eat--the

is too long. But why forbid taking
lunch on the cars? Here the unaccom-

are so many fastidious persons to be

THE PoPEls ADMoNITIoN.

A.Catholic newspaper in parish is
perpetual mission. Let all who truly and
from their souls desire that religion and
society defended by human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their
iberality to guard and protect the
Catholic press, and let every one in pro-
his money and influence, for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps of this kind, without which their
industry will either have no results or
uncertain and miserable ones.
