THE GOOD OLD TIMES
Their Virtues Disappear I'm
der the Modern
Microscope.

Are we justified in saying that the
past was better than the present? asks
Medical Talk. The good old past
There are persons who are fond OF
signing for the past times and compaI
ing now a-days with the past era of
goodness and simplicity.
But in that good old past they burned
women and children as witches, and
beat them for slight offenses; they
hung culprits by their thumbs and pat
crazy people In narrow iron cages:
they smothered between feather beds
the unfortunate who had been bitten
by mad dog; they shut the windows
and piled on blankets to bring on a
sweat. When one had fever they re-
fused the prayers of the sufferer for
drink of cold water, dosed with drugs,
bled and blistered him into eternity.
There were no free public schools In
the good old past, no homes for the old
and disabled, no refuge for the erring.
no refcrmatory for the hayward youth.
no orphan establishments, few and
badly arranged hospitals, no free
Libraries, no cheap books, pictures and
newspapers.
If the world is growing worse every
day, as some declare, how is 1t that
charity is every day stretching her arms
wider to rescue, preserve and cherish
asylums for the fallen, homes to cure
the drunkaId, hospitals with tender
nurses to assist and shelter the sick
and disab led? No more foul, airless
cells for the criminals. Now our
asylums and hospitals are clean, ventl
lated and warm. The unfortunate are
wisely cared for, sklllfully treated
amused and instructed, and often cured
and restored to usefulness. Everything
is now done to save human life and
elevate and improve it. Where evil IS
more rampant good comes to fight
against it, not armed with violence as
of old, but with love and wisdom,
science and patience and faith men
study the problems how best to help
their kind.
Brains are racked and money freely
spent to carry out plans for instructing
them. Parks, libraries, museums,
club rooms ana hospitals all free to the
poor working people
Formerly so neglected and despised
on the high seas and rocky coasts,
where IN the good old past there were
murderous pirates and wreckeIs. there
are now life boats and lifesaving sta
tion an army of men whose business
IL is to prevent shipwrecK II possible
/ and rescue those VINO may be thrown

and labors of those gallant surtmen

grown to overwheIm any Differences

The portrait of Frances Willard
which was presented to the pub
lie schools by the local w. G. T..
now adorns the the classic
walls Of the High School audi
torium as the visible exponent of
piety, morality, moderation and
temperance. Her life and char
acter is worthy the emulation of
every American boy and girl.
We solicit donations of this char
acter for educational purposes.
A picture of President Lincoln
and his famous war cabinet has
been presented to the High

This is a valuable addition to our
historical department and will be
greatly appreciated by the history
classes.
Valuable reference books in
science, mathematics and English
have been purchased for these
respective departments which
have already added charm and
enthusiasm in research work.

vides that reference books shall
be purchased yearly from the
state appropriation. Hence our
} library will increase from year

Not Only Hope, but Permanent Re-
lief Assured the Suffering,
G. T. U. Studying the Cure of In
ebrlety as Well as the Cause.

The W. G. T. U. is beginning
to take an active part in the cure
for alcoholism, as well as an in
terest in the cause of temperance
and prohibition. Men of the high
est character in business and
professional life are devoting at
tention to the scientific aspects
of the drinking mans career.
DR.. w. D. Lawrence of the
Lawrence Sanatorium, Minneap-
oils, Mimi, has done a great deal
to awakep interest in the subject.
DR.. Lawrence is reported as say
ing: "That no condition is so
thoroughly misunderstood as
that condition in which the drink
ing man discovers himself. Good
people, generally fair and reason
able in the discussion of most
subjects, yet who treat the men
who drink with harsh and severe
criticism, show a misconception
of what drink is and what it
means. It easily becomes not
only an insane passion, buta dis
ease that can only be cured by
the very best scientific treat
ment." That is the contention
of DR.. Lawrence and the leading
physicians Of the day recognize
the truth Of the statement. Dr..
Lawrence says shat SO per cent
of the patients treated in the
Lawrence Sanatorium have rep
resented the ablest men in every
walk of life. Whiskey drinkers
may doubt the 'disease'-until
they themselves endeavor to dis
card alcohol. Then a battle royal
takes place and whiskey conquers
in the end unless treatment has
been secured that eliminates
from the system every unhealthy
condition that liquor brings
about.

Channcey NJ, Depew has so long
posed as n champion OF national

esty"that some people were doubtless
surprised when they learned that for

Assurance society at an annual sal

told by the New York World that in

Depew admitted that the Depew Im-
provement company in which he was
interested obtained loan from the
Equitable of S250,000 on property
which the STATE insurance department
vauled at only s15O,00O. Mr.. De-
pew admitted that neither loan or
interes, had been paid and that the
mortgage had been forpclOsed. While
claiming that az a member of the
executive committee OF the Equitable
h. did not advise the l1an, he ad
mitted that he voted for 1t. Mr..
Depew further said that he had made
a verbal guaranty to save the Equit-
able from loss on this loan, hut he
added that the promise was mot
legally binding"
lnq ilries of this kind should not

assault upon the business interests

one may refresh his memory by re-
ferring to the speeches delivered by
