An interesting union mass meeting

art took as the subject of his address
THE Problems of Drunkenness" He

the drink by moral suasion, as the
temperance movement tries to do, and
the second item is to keep the drink
away from the drinker. which is pro-
hibition or prohibiting the sale of the
drink. The temperance movement at
tempts to relieve the drinker of the
appetite and the prohibition move
ment attempts to keep the drink away
by law from the drinker.
Is Fluent Speaker.
Mr.. Stewart is a splendid speaker,

He spoke, too, on the economic side
of the question presenting the various
phases of the subject by direct argu
ment.
