Drink A LUXURY
And a Dangerous Luxury, Says

ing
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH
Says Country Could Afford to Give Ii
quor Men 81 ,24o, ooo. 900 Per Year
Fight Against Traffic.

The best that can be said for an
alcoholic drink is that il is luxury,
and that it is dangerous luxury" said
Volney B. Gushing, in his temperance
address last evening at the First NJ. E.
church. He said that while alcohol is
useful as a medicine, it is not neces-
sary as a beverage, and that the num-
Der of homes ruined, and the amount
Of money wasted on drink. qualify the
statement that alcohol is a dangerous
luxury. He held that the liquor bus
mess is as unnecessary as the use of
alcohol is, and declared that the liquor
traffic decreases the demand for the
necessities of life.
Fight on Traffic.
I'VE could afford to give $1.240,000-
900 a year spent in liquor to the saloon
men. and let them keep their commOd-
ity. and still we would be better on
in the end" said the speaker. In
speaking of the cure for the liquor
traffic, he held that the public must ar
ray itself against it. and as earnestly
against the public men who perpetuate
the saloon by granting it license. He
dwelt at some length on the effect of
the saloon business on other legiti-
mate business. He classified waste as
one of the greatest causes of industrial
depression. and pointed out that the
saloon business causes a waste of over
a billion dollars yearly.
He spoke at some length on the need
of an earnest fight against the saloon,
not only by those in the church, but
by everyone interested in the right de
velopment of the nations industries.
THE reasons why good citizens should
oppose the saloon are legion" said the
speaker.
He was introduced by Rev. w. S.
Marquis. pastor of Broadway Presby-
terrain church.
