Freedom Bought With Temperance
PIedue.

TtCdHCs
In Missouri the Governor of the
state, police court judge and a
grand jury investigator are reforming
hundreds Of drunkards every day by
compelling them to sign temperance
pledges backed by the authority Of
the law to punish them with prison
sentences ii they violate their obliga-
tions to keep sober
Men have been liberated from the
penitentiary on the condition that
they abstain from drink; police court
defendants have been permitted to re-
tain their liberty without the blem-
ish of conviction upon signing a
temperance pledge, and grand juries
have refused to return indictments
against men who bind themselves to
drink no more. The experiment OF
political reform which started Tess
than four years ago has taken such
deep root and its practical benefits
have been so far reaching that dis
cernehg men have reached the conclu-
sion that If state can be reformed
through the influences Of law bibu-
lous individual can be saved from
himself and for his family by the
same agency.
Carefully compiled statistics prove
that eighty per cent of the convicts
in the Missouri penitentiary owe their
downfall directly or indirectly to
drink.
Two years and half ago Judge
William Jefferson Pollard was ap-
pointed police magistrate for the Sec
ond district of the city of st. Louis.
Day after day his docket was filled
with the names Of defendants who
had been arrested for intoxication
and petty crimes they had committed
while under the influence Of liquor.
Judge Pollard is kind-hearted man
and total abstainer. His idea was
to give inebriates a chance to sign
temperance pledge, and, having once
signed 1t, force them to keep 1t un-
der penalty of being sent to the
workhouse for the crime which
brought them into the police courts
as defendants. He looked through
the records of other courts for a pre-
cedent, but could find none. But be-
fore him was such a splendid oppor-
tunity to do good that he determined
to try the innovation. During the last
two years hundreds of men have
signed the temperance pledge in
Judge Pollard's court, which is one of
the largest police courts in the world
and less than two per cent have vio-
lated it,
Soon after Joseph W.. Folk became
Governor of Missouri he began issu-
ing pardons to men who owed their
trouble to drink, making it a condi-
ton that if they ever got intoxicated
again they must return to prison and
serve out the unexpired portions of
their sentences. st. Louis grand
juries, under the direction and upon
the recommendation of the assistant
circuit attorney, are also giving
drinking men who have committed
crimes chance to reform. Bills
have been ignored against a number
of persons who in drunken frenzy
committed crimes. upon signing an
ironclad temperance pledge.

AbsInthe Kills Thousands.

The trade unions OF France. espe

members OF the Left deputies, are
getting up national petition for the
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale Of absinthe. The petition will be
signed by large number Of promi-
nent members Of the Academy Of
Medicine.
The petitioners point out that abb

pie annually. More Of it is consumed
in France than in the rest of the
world put together, and II is causing

The Battle with self.

One Of the most persistent enemies
that man has to fight with is him.
self. That enemy has to be fought
with at unexpected times and at all
times. Yet, If man is determined
to win the victory, he can be success
full even in spite Of all the advantages
which self has in the contest. And
what victory 1t is to win In such a
fight! Henry Ward Beecher says,
forcefully: mo man is such con.
queror as the man who has defeated
himself" God is with us in the strug.
gle, and through Him we shall have
the sure victory.

Give Thanks.

There are few things which bless
and soothe the life OF others more, or
do them more good, Shan the giving Of
thanks. It makes men feel that they
are some use in the world, and that Is
one Of the finest impulses to a better
life. It cheers many a wearied heart
with pleasant hope and bids many a
man who is sad in mood take courage.
