POVERTY AND
DRINK IN ENGLAND.

Mr., Lloyd-George, member OF the
British cabinet. IN a recent speech In
Wales, said that there were tens of
millions OF persons IN the United King
dom enduring year after year the tor
ture of living ON, lacking the bare
necessaries of lifc," and ali this ex
listed amid a splendid plenty whliN
poured into a land so wealthy that Il
could afford to loan out of its splendid
riches thousands OF millions to less
well endowed lands In other parts Of
the world. One OF the causes. he said
was the fact that so many were unable
To earn sufficient to maintain them
selves and their families. He asserted
that there was large percentage of
the population OF sober, clean men and
women who suffered the privatons OF
unmerited poverty. He said that a
largo percentage of poverty was due
TO drink and gambling, and he added
that next year the government meant
to wrestle with the drink problem IN
earnest. He said that II would require
all the aid all the organizations for
the elevation and Improvement of the
lot OF humanity could give them. He
predicted that this effort OF the gov
eminent TO arrest the wrong done By
drink would lead to great struggle,
but he thought the government would
succeed in Its effort to check the evil.

Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1906-04-06

The Southern states are the
stronghold of Democracy, for when
other sections went off into un-
Democratic fields the South stood
steadtast for the party Eof the PEG
pie. Heretofore the South has
been very modest, even with ad-
vice, at national conventions and
has brought forward no candidates
for the national nominations, ex
cept in an indifferent way from the
debatable border states. such as
Missouri and Maryland.
The country sorely needs homes
~, aud Democrats must rescue the
government fiom the party of
graft, greed and scandals that now
is in power. The steadfast South
whose unwavering devotion to
Democratic PRINCIPLES has with
stood the brides and jibes Of the en-.
envy, has now been invited to lead
in the reorganization of the party
on the dip and undisputed doctrine
of equal rights to all and special
privileges to uone.' This invita-
ton comes from the state that has
heretofore always been dominant
in debating party policies and can
didates, dut is now ready to follow
the lead of the South who has been
hitherto content to follow. what
have been considered the necessary
but doubtful states.

Judge Parker lately made speech
urging the South to take the lead
in party management and further
said:
