TEMPERANCE, NO. l.


 saloons and all forms of liquor traffic removed have with good reason felt that the members of Christian churches ought to be foremost in any such efforts. This has not been due to the fact that church members are usually our most aggressive politicians, but because, though this is a political question, it is also one that pre-eminently affects the purity of our people.
 The writer of this article begs the privilege of urging course of life upon every member of every Christian church in Jack son county and if this suggestion is sincerely adopted by every church member the result cannot fail to be a most effective method ofremoving whisky permanently.
 The suggestion is that every Christian who reads these lines drink no more whisky or beer. This must lie at the foundation of any real and lasting good effort in this or any other realm of work. We must first be pure. This will cost nothing. It is sim pie and easily done, and if every one in Jackson county who once confessed our Lord Jesus and de- sired to be known as one of His followers would adopt this as the rule of his own life the( effect upon the traffic of whisky would be immense. /
 Had this policy beet followed for the last ten years by evsry church member in JacAs Ason coun- ty the results would hAve been far more effective in pkoducing the desired result than all the campaign efforts that haN e been made, and certainly it would have cost very much less.
 A masterly inactivity is often times the surest method o sav- ing the day and it is certain that a saloon will not long remain where it is simply not patronized If it be said that it is in vain td hope for any such habit of ab- staining among our people, then the whole effort is doomed. We might just as we'll hope to build a house of stone on a foundation of air as to hope to successfully accomplish a far-reaching moral reform without first securing the decision of at least the profes- sedly godly people to be in con- duct what they wish others to be.
 
 Here the past failures find their true explanation. No law can be really effective unless the of the makers of that law love and practice that law. ' We have a law against murder i and it is fairly well enforced be- { cause the great majority of ou1l people are not murderers them selves. If they were, the lay c would soon be of no force. Ii al those who profess godlln9s would touch not, taste n.y. handle not, those together W'i others who would readily a9pt this method of life, would firm a body of voters, law makersano law conservators whose very presence would be a staNlng guarantee that a good law you'd be enforced.
 So true is it that we mult hrst be what we lare endeavflng to enforce by law and ballf' that it is recognized-and witya good degree of justice -thatIno one is an ideal advocate ofpolltlcal reform movements if ms own life has at any point faled to be what he would teach word or OoO

The onion is-well, you know. You
know, too, that it is awfully strong,
but likely did not know that its great
strength had caused it to get into
trouble recently and likewise into the
courts. In Vermont teacher for
bade certain girls to come to school
unless they stopped eating onions. The
case went through several courts and
the onion won, the teacher being for
hidden to exclude the girls. But the
Indiana courts have taken the other
tack, and there the advocates Of the
onion met with crushing defeat. A
merchant complained Of restaurant
keeper who occupied the floor above
the store and whose specially ap-
peared to be fried onions, served at
any hour. The merchant stood it as
long as he could, and then invoked the
law. He represented to the court that
the odor of fried onions was not per-
sonally disagreeable, but that many of
his customers objected to having fried

chases. The defendant, in answer, de-
clared the onion vegetable which is
necessary to the happiness of man
kind, and that there were certain pre-
scribed forms in which it could be
prepared He further declared that
science thus far had not been able to
invent any plan for the reduction of
onion Odors or their confinement. The
court did not dispute the latter allega-
ton and did not attempt to prescribe
the legal limitations of the odor, but
affirmed the damages given by the
trial court and admonished the defend
ant to curb his fried onions. 1t will
be noticed from these two decisions
that, while it is all right to eat onions
before going to school, it is all wrong
to fry them-unless one does it alone
in the woods.

There Is another side to this boy
criminal business. You can think of
it while the youthful car!barn robbers
in Chicago pay for their crimes with
their lives. 1t is the money side Of it.
DO you give your boy money? Has he
an income, small, perhaps, but sure =?
Does he work and feel that he is
earning the money? We have in mind
one father who was wise enough to
realize that fun and business could
be mixed and great deal of natural
mischief headed off. He gave his boy

cumulated for him on his school holi-
day. No, he didn't whine and wonder
why somebody else was not assigned
the task. He was earning money.
Early in life he tasted the sweetness
OF pennies honorably earned. He
thought more Of the 10 cents that
came to him weekly because of his
labor than the occasional gifts of
money that came to him at other ne
riods. He was a business man. He
had small compunction in wasting
money given to him outright, but those
hard-earned pennies just naturally
gravitated to toy bank. The saving
instinct and the working instinct were
aroused ut the same time. When the
weekly salary was increased to Oh
cents more labor was added. The how
was not robbed Of his play-spell time
but he did have duty to perform.
did acquire a liking for work, and
there isn't a doubt that the process
helped mold his character. Anotber
man parceled out plot of ground TO
MS children and purchased at good
prices all the vegetables and flowers
they could raise. The natural desire
Tor money spurred on their efforts. the
