THE REAL OFFENDER.
The Drunkard is the Criminal Not the
Liquor Sellers.

To the Editor Of The Daily Item:
i have yet to hear OF any one who
thinks that tree with nince fruit
good for food" and pleasant to the
eyes" caused the fall Of mankind In
the Garden Of Eden. We all know
without doubt. that needing the
voice OF the tempter and indulging
the appetite caused that fall. He who
planted the tree and forbade the eat
Ing Of its fruit also gave us wine. and
strong drink and has forbidden
-unkenness and we should all obey
without challenging his wisdom or
Justice. No one Is compelled to get
drunk because some one else has
liquor for sale. Obeying the voice Of
that same old tempter and indulging
the appetite Is the cause Of all the
sorrow and crime. pauperism, Inn
becility and degeneracy" for which
the liquor business Is blamed. Con-
troll this cause and these evils will
disappear like flame when the fuel
Is exhausted. Ignorant, indeed, are
they who do not know that when
they have taken one drink too much
they have broken Gods law and yield
ed to Satan. The liquor dealer may
not care for the trouble caused BY
drinking. neither does the drunkard.
He knows that IL he were to murder
his wife by overwhelming her with
sorrow. and depriving her and his
children of the necessities OF lfe. thus
inficting the most painful death pos

cry OF his innocent and suffering chill

wife. mother or sister will not be gov
erned by a law prohibiting the sale
OF intoSicants. Such n law would be
an inconvenience to those who might
need wine or liquor for lawful and
proper uses, and would keep law
