practical remedy; that local option
does not prohibit the use of alcoholic
liouor: that We cannot legislate peo-
pie into righteousness. If this be true
wby do the saloon interests So bitterly
assail local option? If they can sell as
much and at higher prices with local
option why do they complain? II the
law never is and cannot be enforced
WHY are they afraid Of its adoption?
But as matter of logic and of fact
local option does lessen to a great de-
gree the existence of drunkenness.
1t does greater than all else, it re-
moves the attraction of the saloon from
rising generation of men and women.
1t outlaws both the place and keeper,
branding the one as an illegal den, the
other as criminal. 1t casts cloud of
shame upon the "speakeasy" so that
reputable men will not enter them-and
it virtually bresks up the liquor business
by compelling it to have concealed
and nomadic existence.
In word, it makes it difficult and
dangerous to sell to even few, sbol
fishes absolutely the sale 20 minors,
curtails the associated idleness, gam
bling and prostitution and greater than
all remedies, destroys the saloon as
political ally and power and public
wrong.
Local option will not in day prove
the panacea for all our material and
social ills, 1t will not make 4 barren and
wasted soil, yield an abundant harvest
in night: it will not alter in a moment
the inclination and character Of our
people, but it will prove, in the most
modest calculation of its blessing, the
beginning of a new and better order of
things.
For the victims of intemperauce. we
should not have blame but pity.
We should realize that they are not
to be reformed but through patience
and kindness We should understand
bow and why they fell, sheir struggle
and suffering aud that the best OF US are
not exempt from the temptations that
lured them to their fate. We should
likewise appreciate how diff ~ult it is
for them to arise, and extend a helping
hand to aid their ascending course. We
should cheer them on with the joy that
follows their reformation, the sweet
peace that comes with sobriety, indus
try and Goodness.
With our minds open to the truth and
our hearts dedicated to this useful ser
vice to mankind, let US on May the 18th,
eliminate forever the saloon from Prince
Georges County. The duty to our
selves and to society is not to arriagn
the poor victim Of intemperance, as an
object of contempt and ridicule. but to
lessen the temptation that besets his
struggle. In portraying before his eyes
the darkness of his sin, let us likewise
display the beacon-light of hope enkind-
ling the heaven of righteousness.
Amid the horror of drunkenness and its
desolation, let there appear the rainbow
Of promise, for TO the truly penitsnt,
the storm of sin will subside and the
sunshine of our faith, will make glor-
ious the charity of man, the majesty of
God.

President Roosevelt sent another
message to Congress Monday even
ing. The message was not read,
however, until Tuesday. In the
main the document is a recapituia-
tion of other messages which have
recently been sent in by the execu-
tive.
Among other things Mr.. Roose-
welt says that while The employers
liability law which has been enacted
comes short Of what should have
been done, it nevertheless represents
an advance.
The president enters into an tz-
haustive review of national and
State legislation on interstate csm-
merce lines, and he makes certain
recommendation which he thinks
may bring about better relations be
tween capital and labor.
