That was the confession Of young
NJ. E. Davis Of Des Moines. Ia, In
pleading guilty to the murder Of his
wife.
Young Davis was q bright, hand
some. capable and popular druggist
who. while crazy drunk, shot his wife
and afterward seriously wounded the
physician who was called to attend
her. The wife died few days after
the shooting. leaving an infant son.
Davis pleaded guilty to murder in the
second degree and was sentenced to
Fort Madison prison for eighteen years.
Il was drunk"
That tells the story. NJ. e. Davis
solver was an affable friend. an affec-
tionate husband and father. NJ. E.
Davis plus whisky was the senseless
wretch who turned his gun against the
one above all others whom he loved
and cherished.
II was drunk"
That was no excuse to plead before
the bar Of Justice save In mitigation Of
the offense. else any man might 60
and get drunk and kill with impunity.
II didn't mean to harm a hair Of my
vife's head"
OF course he did not. It was not
Davis, but whisky, that pointed the
gun. But the law held Davis. not the
whisky. responsible. When Davis was
arrested whisky was not arrested;
when be was tried before Judge and
jury whisky was not tried: when he
was sent to prison whisky was let 60
scot free.
Whisky 10 q coward.
It assumes none Of the responsibility
which 1t creates. 1t gets men into trou-
Bile and leaves them there. It can make
difficulties, but 1t cannot solve prob.
lens. It can put mems brains In q
tnngle, but 1t cannot make their paths
straight It h not only Z coward; Il
ID a liar and thief besides.
Il was drunk"
That confession constitutes an in
dictment Of strong drink. Whisky pal
sizes the calloused hand Of toll. II
frightens the roses from the cheeks Of
loving wives. It throws shadows pvel
the hearts Of innocent children. 4

We have tried brick. and asphalt
