The Lords Day and Liquor.
w. C. T. U.

This is the season of the year
when the pastors by their sermons
and different associations of Chris
tian people are making a special eff
fort to secure better observance
of the Lords Day. This is line of
work which the w. C. T. U. has long
shared in, believing that a stricter
observance of the day would result
in benefit to the souls, bodies and
financial interests of the people at
large.
A popular writer said recently,
'The man who refuses to take his
rest on Sunday is not simply COM
hitting sin, but what is possibly
worse-a blunder. The man who
carries his business home with him
Saturday night. gets his mail
Sunday morning and goes to his of
flee Sunday afternoon, is not only a
fool morally, he is also fool intel
lectually. He is like an engineer
who runs his locomotive so fast the
first quarter of his trip as to ruin it. ;"
But as man is never a machine for
simply grinding out money. but en-
dowed with heart, mind and soul
of infinite worth, there is the great
er need that business be shut out
one dav in seven, that the higher
nature may gather food and have
time to digest it, lest it become
dwarfed and source of misery to
itself and all about it.
A land without Sabbath is a land
without religion or morals. Nearly
all our statesmen from Washington
to Garfield have left their testimony
that to the Christian Sabbath we owe
both our civil and religious liberty.
The protecting fence of civil laws
must be upheld, as, if Sunday labor
becomes legal, the greed Of capital
will control the needy laborer and
seven days work will be exacted,
and freedom to worship God" or
to seek rest and recreation will have
vanished. Neither the pulpit nor
the Bible will plead with weary and
discouraged toilers. and riots and an
archy will result. We have made
long strides in this direction and al
ready have 100000 such defrauded
laborers, on which uneasy founda-
ton we are building our commercial
prosperity.
In the downward drift in this di-
rection, the drink traffic is one of
the most potent factors. With
greedy eyes the unprinci pied liquor
seller looks on our Sunday and CO.
vets it. He cannot consent to set
idly with closed doors, while the one
day slips by in which the Saturday
nights wages are lying untouched

in the pocket. Having paid license
for six days, he steals the seventh
using it secretly if he must, openly
if he dares, until in portions of large
cities fearful disorder and democrat
ization result. Statistics show that
on this day protected by law, the
sales are twice the average for the
other six days, and the mis-
chief wrought is in still
greater proportion. This fact alone
shows that the liquor traffic cannot
be regulated and must be annihilat-

Natural Ice Is
Short This
Season

The city will be dependent on the
ice manufacturers this season for
its supply of the needful in the re-
frigerating line. In consequence it
is expected that the ice factory will
soon be starting up.
Last year there was a sufficient
cut of ice from the vicinity to sup
ply all the needs of the camp. A
cut in the price was made at the
beginning of the summer season and
the ice factory did not find it neees-
sary to operate. The principal sup
ply of ice came from the Comins
lake and before the season was out
II was found that the cost of trans
portation from the ice house at the
lake into the city and MeGill was
such that there was no profit left.
In consequence the ice at the lake
during last winter was not cut, nor
was a pack made at any of the other
ponds in the locality. At Curries, a
considerable amount of ice was put
up for the new Collins cold storage
plants in East Ely and McGill. At
the latter place contracts we're made
for the supply OF considerable
amount of ice To various concerns.
These contracts and the needs of the
cold storage plants will take all the
Ice that was packed at Curries and
exhaust the local supply of natural
ire
