| crime to buy, since the two parties to
the transaction stand upon an equal
footing. If, therefore, in its inception
createsin the mind Of the public sense
of injustice. The man on jury who
| has bought drink cannot bring his
conscience to declare that the man who
sold to HIM became criminal by the
act of selling, while he by the act Of
purchase committed no sin. There is
universal sense of justice which is
opposed to inflicting punishment solely
upon one of the offenders, while grant
ing immunity to the other.
The reason why prohibition thus aims
at the seller is because the number of
sellers is comparatively limited, and
it is satisfied to make them scapegoats
over whose shoulders the blow is readi-
ly aimed at the purchaser. Owing to the
number of the latter and the direct in
reference with their rights or per-
sonal inclinations. the prohibitionists
dare not attack openly the rights of
the purchaser, or in other words, the
drinker. Therefore, the party which
claims the courage of conviction, and
condemns all other pal ties as temp
orizing with evil, lacks the courage
itself to aim its blows at its real a6-
versary. This has put the prohibition
party in the position Of protesting che
thing while intending another. The
effort, we are told, is to get rid of the
saloon not to lay an embargo upon the
drinker. Who creates the saloon?
The drinker. If there was no one will
ing to pay for drink there would be
no one maintaining place for its sale.
The purchaser of liquor usually seeks
it. He can not get it without paying
for it, and no means has ever been, or
is ever likely to he, devised of prevent
ing men from getting It, so long as
they pay for it.
The natural way, then, to get rid of
the saloon is to bring sufficient pres
sure to bear for the reduction Of the
demand for liquors This is the true
method Of temperance, and this is the
method Of moral suasion, not of com
pulsory statutes since even the rashest
prohibitionist would not dare to pro-
pose statute forbidding men from
drinking. 1t is method whose main
enactment. Prohibition, while inef-
fective, serves to tie the hands of re-
form and leaves the real evil without
a cure. Of course it is said that prohi-
bition is effective but such statements
are only from those who have pur-

The Doctrine OF Force.

A broad humanity can have but little
sympathy with the intolerance which
thinks there can be no worthy object
of effort in life save that Of applying
force to compel men to conform to its
standard Of habits, morals and beliefs,
and which holds every custom pernic-
ious, every practice sinful, every con-
science depraved, every life thing of
wickeuness, and does not yield to the
authority OF the same narrow bigOtry
and intollerant fanaticism that control
it. Doubtless the great majority of
prohibitionists are honest and sincere
in their belief, but in the narrowness
of their vision they either lose sight of
other sins or assume that the virtue of
being a prohibitionist palliates all
other evils of which they may be
guilty. There is an assumption Of
superiority about them that IS offensive
to sclf-respecting people. The as
sumption Of superior conscience and
moral excellence of these modern Phari-
sees is especially nauseous TO the great
public which has in its hearJ an earnest
prayer for temperance, but which does
not believe that to be the sole and only
good in the universe. Most thinking
people recognize that almost every
thing in the world, as well as liquor, is
subject to abuse; that the only re-
straint from abuse is the moral convic-
ton Of its wrong; that If coercive
measures should be adopted to restrain
abuse wherever found, a lifetime would
not serve TO read our statute books;
and that if every man guilty OF abuse
were punished the last man of theFrace
would have TO reach out through the
prison bars and lock himself in. Know
ing this, and the futility Of efforts to
shape character by legal enactment,
they are not prepared to accept the
tenets of prohibition, or to recognize
the superiority in morals which the ad-
vocates of that idea claim. It is the
peculiar and invincible folly of the ad-
vocate Of prohibition that he tries al
ways to place the drunkard's response
bility on every one but the person to
whom it actually belongs.
The error OF prohibition IS That it at
teinpts to work a reform backwards.
While its primary object is avowedly
to prevent intemperance, it does not
aim its laws at the Incorporate, or at
the drinker but only at the seller. 1t
declares it a crime to sell intoxicants
of any kind, but ignores the fact that
if it Re crime to sell. it is equally

CARE OF A RAZOR.
Some Things That the Man Who
Shaves Himself should Knew.

"The average man who shaves him
self doesn't know how to take care Of
his razor despite all the advice that
prints from time to time" says an *
pert barber.
HE will get q good razor and use II
day after day, then wonder why at the
end of u short time 1t loses its edge,
even though he strops 1t most care
fully. A razor needs brief intervals Of
rest or 1t will grow dull, no matter
what efforts are made to keep 1t sharp,
II you have a good razor and 1t APP
pears to be losing its edge just try a
rest for 1t instead of having 1t sharp
ened up again. The chances are that
when you put it into use again at the
expiration of three or four days 1t will
prove as sharp as If it had been care
fully honed.
"a man who shaves himself ought to
have at least two razors and use these
on alternate mornings; then, II his ra-
zors are all right, he will have but lit
tie trouble with them. 1t Is also pos
sible to strop q razor too much. 1t
should not be stropped for more than
half a minute before shaving, and care
should be taken never to bear heavily
on the strop while doing this. Let the
razor rest lightly on the leather, and
the best results will be gained. After
finishing u shave, strop the razor once
more for a few seconds, and this will
insure q much better condition for It,"

give him and not exceed; less If he
should exceed and beat him above
these with many stripes; then thy

"Now instead of inflicting these phys
ical stripes we put striped clothes on
the men who offend the law or who
may come unto judgment that the
judges may judge them, as it is put in
the text. or course you could go much
