The TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA
CONCERTED ATTACK ON DRINK
WINNING ALL ALONG LINE.
The Modern Way.

The modern method of temperance
reform takes a better turn. Nobody
now goes to hear a temperance lee
ture. Nobody cares to hear a re-
formed drunkard picture the de-
baucheries of his past life; nobody
now holds up tho brand snatched
from the burning as a pattern to
youth. The world has grown into
better sense and better standards Of
taste. The true temperance reformer
now is the employer who makes So
briefly at all times a fixed condition
Of employment in his business. When
the Pennsylvania Railroad a dozen
years back made it a rule that no man
who drank intoxicating liquors on
duty or off duty should have a place
in its service, it did more for practi-
cal temperance than all the Coughs
and Murphys who yer lived. This
example has been followed now by
pretty much all the railroad compa-
MES in the country, and 1t has be-
come the rule of industry everywhere.
Something, no doubt, is due to the
Introduction Of machinery which
calls for clear heads and steady
hands, but perhaps more Is due to
the development of common sense,
which recognizes that no habitual
dSunkard Is a man safe to be trusted
in any relationship. A few years
back half the lawyers and doctors of
the country were drinking men. Now
your drinking lawyer or doctor is un-
known. Nobody will employ a man
for any careful service when it Is
known that he Is a drinking man.
With the growth Of sentiment along
these lines the whole fashion Of life
has changed. Twenty years ago men
habituaily drank to excess in clubs,
barracks, and elsewhere. At any So
called gentlemen's dinner, at least
two men out Of five grew happy"
before the evening was over. Now to
of bad form. One who goes con-
stantly into the club life of San Fran
cisco, or any other city, will not
once in a year see a man obviously
affected by drink. Drunkenness has,
been banished from respectable cir
cles, and is only to be found among
the socially disreputable. in the slums
and the cutters. All but universal
temperance has come to US, not
through the grotesque recitals and
melodramatic appeals Of John B.
Coughs, not through the vulgar self
expositions of reformed Francis Muir
phys, but through the enforcement of
higher standards of personal eRcien-
cy in all grades of life, and through
the development Of a progressive So
cial acknowledgements. y

THE COURSE OF JUSTICE.

Tom Easy was lazy and shifhess; he picked up a job now and then,
But never was wholly contnted until he had LOST again..
His wife and his grmyfaced children went hungry more often than not
But still they found heart to be thankful for whatever comfort they got.
Unburdened with worldly possessions, it was easy to move, when they'd spent,
On sOupmeat and secondhand clothing, the money Tom earned for the rent.
At last a Samaritan neighhor declared that Tom ought to support
The outfit according to statute, and Tom had his ou in court:
The neghbor recounted the story; the case vas paheheaiy clear:
The Judge thought it over a minute and sent Tom away for a year.
Tom Easy souchd ut of the court ROOM; his wife sat, bewldered and wan,
Surrounded by sootyfaced children, until she was told to nov IN
Which is better than begging u living from people that pass on the street;
For begging is not always easy; though comforts in plenty abound;
Most men art reluctant @ share them. as the wife and the children have found.
The law has moved swiftly to punish Tom Easys loose, dssolute life.
And. while in the furnishing business is starving his kids and his wife:

The Reason.

The reason for the existence Of the
Christian church Is to be found in
the need of the heather. world. We
are an elect race, not for u W
pleasure and salvation, but for the
sake Of dying men, who call to us to
give them the Light of Life. If we
fail Christ in this. will He not cast
us aside, and perform His purpose
by others? We are saved to serve;
endued with power to become His
witnesses.-Rev. F. B. Meyer.

Hart H. North, commissioner of inn
migration, on his return from New
York and Washington, d. c., yester-
day. announced that the new immigra-
tion station at Angel island is to be
opened Immediately. This was decided
upon by Secretary of Commerce and

missioner North to Washington from
the meeting of the immigration COM
missioners in New York that he was
attending to discuss the matter.
When secretary Nagel went into the
cabinet he announced that there was
no need of the station, although $780,
GEO had been spent in building it and
boats TO ply between the island and
the mainland.
This decision did not please Senator
G. c. Perkins, through whose energy
the station and its equipment had been
built Others, including local civic
organizations, registered their disap-
proval. Secretary Nagel sent Commits
sioner General Daniel J. Keefe to the
coast to investigate, and he agreed
with his superior officer.
It rested there until President Taft
visited the city. He said the station
would be opened at once and tele-
graphed Secretary Nagel to that effect.
