The Real Source.

The temperance movement is not
due to local or %ephemeral causes,

viction which the United States Su-
preme Court has we'll rendered,
namely, that 1.-The public health, the
public morals and the public safety
are endangered by the general use Of
Intoxicating liquors." and that the
idleness, disorder, pauperism and
