BRITISH TEMPERANCE.
Mr.. alison ErpIaims That It's Far
from Total abstinence.

The word temperance when used in connec-
ton with alcoholic drinks in this country is
usually construed to mean total abstinence
therefrom. In England it IS quite different, ac-
cording 10 the Rev. Alexander Alison, secretary
Of the National Temperance Society, who was
one Of the speakers at the convention Of the
New York County Womans Christian Tenn
perance Union in Amity Hall yesterday after
noon. When Mr.. Alison in England three
years ago he was the guest of an elder in the
church of the late Or. John Watson, better
known as Ian Maclaren. This man was an
ardent temperance advocate.
I'VE had temperance morning. noon and
night" said Mr. Alison, and morning. noon
and night the decanters were on the table. My
host and his good wife used alcoholic beverages
freely and offered them TO me. but I explained
that American. and IN America tenn
perance people did not usually drink alcoholic
liquors. My host replied that he had very little
Influence as II was In the cause OF temperance
and that he would have none at all If he were
known TO be a total abstainer- On another
occasion clergyman whose pulpit l was 10
occupy asked ne after he had put the gown on
me II 1 would not have little suppose he
thought II would help me 10 preach think
the reason they can drink much IS because
the climate is foggy and the water dutes the
poison. I don't think II is good for them but il
would be positively fatal 10 US"
In conclusion Mr.. Alison deplored that so
much of the revenue of the United States came
from the liquor traffic and that the salary Of
such a good man as President Roosevelt must,
therefore be paid in part from this source.
He's not perfect" said Mr.. Alison. but he's
az near It as any man we are likely TO find IN
the White House. and II cannot be agreeable TO
The convention will continue this morning
and afternoon.
