tell you lover of liberty, there is choice offered

There is no act, nor option of act, possible, but

Scared and helpless, than that you had so chosen.

ARRESTS FOR DRUNKENNESS

A note appearing in one of the daily papers of
Chattanooga is highly suggestive of the relation
of the liquor traffic to legitimate business The
note refers to the arrival in that city of river
steamer, having on board five cars of potatoes,
of Postum" and four cars of merchan-
dise-and three carloads of z0hisky. It ought not
to take the average business man long to figure
it out that those potatoes and the Postum" and
the other goods are going to be sold in competi-
ton with the whisky, and the whisky twill have
the pole.' A little further thought might develop
the suggestion that though those potatoes may
have been raised in county that is "dry' by

1t is of small Importance to any of us whether
we get liberty but of the greatest that we deserve
it. Whether we can win it, fate must determine;
but that will be worthy of it we may ourselves
determine; and the sorrowfulest fate of all that
we can suffer is to have it without deserving it.

the infinite follies of modern thought in this mat
ter, conferred in the notion that liberty is good for
man, irrespectively of the use he is likely to
make of it. Folly unfathomable unspeakable
uncomfortable to look in the full face of, as the
laugh of a cretin! You will send your child, will
you into a room where the table is loaded with
sweet wine and fruit-some poisoned, some not?
you will say to him, Choose freely, my little

choice; it forms your character-your individual

will have acquired the dignity of free child"

MEDICAL MEN MEET
Society for Study of Inebriety in Session in
Chicago

Chicago
One of the interesting events of last week in
Chicago was the meeting of the Society for the
Study of Inebriety in connection with the session
of the American Medical Association. On Wednes-
day luncheon was given in the Auditorium no.
tel, attended by the members of the society and
large number of prominent Prohibitionists OF
Chicago and vicinity. Many very strong speeches
were delivered by visiting physicians who are
members of the society, one of the most notable
utterances being that of DR.. L. D. Mason OF
Brooklyn, who said:
"Our Chief Executive talks of race suicide;
why does he not dwell upon the psychical, physical
and mental DEATH the living death of the drunk
ard? College professors worrying about the
exhaustion of the fuel supply They would do
we'll to contemplate the outlook for the exhaustion
of brain supply Paternalism in govern
ment is good thing but the paternalism that
licenses the saloon is doing more harm than can
ever be retrieved by what good it may accom-
plish."
Many of the papers which were read at the diff
ferent sessions will be published in The National
Prohibitionist during the coming months.

ROCKFORD, ILL. June AT the close of the first
month of Rockford's dry rule reports showed
that arrests for drunkenness have been cut down

period last year. The patrol wagon made less

The city council however, has passed farcical
