Intemperanes Causes Crime

Crime rather than pauperism is the
result of intemperanee, according to
w. NJ. MeClain, manager OF the St
Louis Proyident association, who spoke
before the national conference of
charities and correction at it's recent
session at Minneapolis on the relation
of defective character to dependence.
"The amount Of evil to be charged to
intemperance," he said, SIS immeasur-
able. In our efforts to md out the
causes of Individual degeneration, how
ever. we are persuaded that drink leads
to crime rather than poverty-so far as
these two can be separated. 1t has
been well stated that II every saloon,
disti1lery and brewery was wiped out
we would sti1l have the poor with us.
1t is rather from the degenerate on
spring of drunken parents that the
ranks of poverty are recruited"
