 Each application shall also be endors- ed by five citizens who shall be voters and taxpayers of the same town, and therefore presumably interested in It's morals and welfare. These may derive no profit from the business, yet they do virtually become silent partners in 1t and morally responsible for it-some- thing that not many self-respecti cit izens will care to assume before the public of to-day.
 I do not see any moral or Chris tian man can lend his good name and influence to cover the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors to his fellows. It is evident therefore, that not every applicant will be able to find five men possessing the legal qualifications to become his moral sponsors in the business of manufac- turing drunkards and paupers and making miserable a good many homes, for the same man can sign for only one applicant instead for any number as under the old law Such men there fore must be created. This is the way it is attempted. It is reported that certain liquor company, interested in it's own business, selected S27 men,
 without property and quite irresponsi- ble, some of whom are quite frequently in Jail, and deeded to them an insignifi- cant piece of property, therefore mak- ing them owners of real estate and lia- blc to taxation, hoping thereby to sup ply goodly number of legally quali- lied endorsers for the liquor applica- tions for that town. It hardly seems possible for such trick of the trade
 to succeed.
 1 I have scarcely skrted the merest edge of this great problem of modern lawlessness-o disregard for law and
 order that continually confronts the i morallst, the patriot, and the Christian. 1 The problems are not new to this age;
 but are as old as the race. They are
 not peculiar to present conditions; but
 to all conditions.
 That they appear so conspicuous is
 partly due no doubt, to the intenser 1 light which this age is throwing upon
 the screen. In a darker age, they
 would not seem so hideous. Our ap- peal must be to true men, to be truei-
 to all brave men, to be brayer-to all men who love righteousness and honor
 to intensity that love-to all who look into the, face of Jesus Christ to reflect
 with greater power and beauty the
 reality of that divine character.
 Among the many true things which
 Gov. Hughes said the other day to the
 people at Syracuse fair were such
 words as these: We need in this state
 more thar farmers, more than hay or apples, the fruit of any tree, we need
 to grow men; and, thank God, the crop
 of good men is greater to-day than eV-
 CT in our history. We have men Whd
 are deyoting themselves to the needs
 of their fellow-men. Never did phll-
 anthropy reach such heights as 1T
 these opening years of the twentieth
 century Never did noble desires Q
 American men find such opportunity
 In order to grow men, we must be-
 gin with the boy.
 The best boys make the best men Start the boys right, and the crop Q
 good men will come on all right. Ant there will be more Of them--poys ant sf men of the right sort
 This brings us to the source of abou
 all the godness that this world has O ever had. or ever will haNe-and tha ! is the hUi~o. If 1t were in our -powe

 our homes in this great land-not s seryile or cowardly obedience, put
