proposed to establish home and a

cient cunning Of their ancestors i'm
all lines Of cndcavor ani their meth
ods, habits ana customs as well This
would be an unique experiment in
modern civilization. and the results
would perhaps Justify the means.
The memorial not only asks for a

home, but 100000 annually for IT.

The basis for the request to the
government for this appropriation lies
in the alleged fact that the govern

One of the tests to eligibility TO

against the Saloon" Going
Going.

We are very glad to publish this ex-
ccrpt from THE Outlook" OF July 4
which we secured through DR.. Woods.
The saloon is in very much the position
OF the convicted prisoner, who, before
he is sentenced. is called upon by the
judge to speak his last words in s.l' de-
fence. In two articles (the first OF which
appears in this issue, Dr, Barrows pic
lures this plight Of the saloon, so that
there Is no denying it. Not only in
America, but also in Europe, the saloon
is in desperate need of its most eloquent
%apologists.
In order TO understand the movement
OF which DR.. Barrows writes it will be of
advantage to keep in mind certain dis
,inctions and certain facts.
All civilized peoples regard murder
AS a crime; but no civilized people unites
in regarding the use of alcoholic bever.
ages as a crime or a criminal or vicious
act III itself. In order, therefore, 10 UNI.
derstand the movement in hostility 10 the
saloon, 1t is important to remember, first,
The distinction between avs undertaken
to eliminate crime aud laws undertaken
to minimize or regulate or suppress a
danger; second, the distinction between
abstinence from the use Of liquor and
prohibition Of the sale of liquor; third.
the distinction between the temperance
question and the saloon question; fourth,
the distinction between the belief that
the best method Of dealing with the
saloon question Is by local option, and
the belief that the best method is invar.
iably that Of no-license; fifth the dstinc.
ton between local option, which invol-
YES the submission Of a minority of in.
dividusls within a community to the will
Of . majority within that community,
and State legislation, which may and
usually does, involve the protest Of en-
tire communities within a State against
the will Of the majority within the State
but outside those communities.
These distinctions being kept in mind,
certain facts are clear. In the first place,
whatever q may think Of drinking a.
a moral question, n cannot escape the
fact that the saloon is manifestly 30
great . source Of danger that the people
have q right to direct special Regulation
against It. In the second place. the
most effective method adopted for mini.

II was a great day tor America when
the law was made requiring Scientific
Temperance Instruction" III our public
schools. Some Of our text books handle
the subjec, to some extent, but the sub.
ject is not taught as it should he. Every
grade is supposed TO study the evil Of.
fects of alcohol on the body and brain,
when this is taught as it should be, the
boys If today will make the temperance
men of the future. Our best physicians,
are using whiskey, and all alcoholic
stimulan,s, the amt as they do strych-
nine and other poisons. and il will be a
glorious victory when its use is stopped
all together.
We have heard with much pleasure
that some Of the boys o! the Younger
nine have agreed 10 quit the Sunday
base ball game. We think this is a noble
resolution on the part Of the nine and
we are proud..of them for this. We, of
the White Ribbon Army. cannot stop the
Sabbath Dissertation, but we can gather
our girls and boys about us and stop
our part Of it. W. have no objections to
the game except as a Sunday distract
