THE TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA
CONCERTED ATTACK ON DRINK
WINNING ALL ALONG LINE.
Evil of Intoxicants.

iH'h VI tntoAiNuntSs
Hugh F. Fox need not apologize
for asking for space in which to pre-.
sent the liquor dealers side of the
anti-saloon controversy, nor should
any newspaper hesitate to grant any
reasonable request of that kind from
advocates OF either side, for there ia
no question now before the people
which is attracting greater attention
the country over than the problem of
how best to reduce to a minimum the
evils of excessive use of intoxicants
without unduly infringing, on personal
liberty.
In business trip through Georgia
extending over ten weeks, which has
taken me into all of the larger cities
and into most of the smaller ones. I
have studied with a great deal OF
interest the experiment they are try.
ing here. Not being a partisan on
either side, have observed, believe,
with an impartial eye. If anything. l
was rather prejudiced against prohi.
bition as the best method, especially
for the cities.
Ignoring statistics, which are easily
manipulated and usually unreliable,
] will only say that in these ten weeks
| have only seen seven men at all
under the influence of intoxicants, and
none of them was seriously so. One
can see that many in ten minutes on
the streets of any city in New Jersey
almost any day or night. The small
amount of drunkenness in the cities
of Georgia has been very surprising to
me, as ! have read so much about
how prohibition does not prohibit. In
cities of other States, where my bust
ness takes me from time to time, it is
so common as TO attract no attention.
There is a great deal of near beer"
sold in some of the larger cities, and
much of it is very near" the real
thing, but stronger drink is harder
to obtain except in the clubs. There
its use is restricted to those not likely
to abuse the privilege The net re-
suit is that any one who behaves him
self need not be consumed with thirst.
while those who are likely to give
their neighbors or the police trouble
find 1t very difficult to get into trou-
blesome condition. Everybody seems
to be satisfied except "the trade"
and l have been unable to discover
any sentiment among the solid busi-
ness element in favor of restoring the
old wide-open order, such as we have
In the North. On the contrary, the
tendency seems to be toward more
stringent laws and better enforcement
OF those they have.
Prohibition is evidently not injur-
ing Georgia commercially. Its pros
perity and development are simply
marvellous. No unbiased observer
can travel through the State without
being impressed with it's wonderful
growth and prosperity, and the order
ly government of its cities, so differ
ent from the wide-open condition of
cities of the same size in other States
which have even a smaller proportion
of population easily made disorderly.
The experiment in Georgia is well
worth watching.-M. A. Nupatree,
Atlanta, in the New York Times.

Temperance Notes.

A Friendship Cushion.

From distance 1t had the effect

wards, or If one had poetical turn
of mind, it could have suggested King
Sol himself with all his glory rays;
but on closer examination it resolved
itself into friendship cushion.
My friend explained apologetically
that 1t was merely an elaboration OF
the old teacloth idea, but the effect
was SO good / mentally resolved to
copy 1t as soon as possible.
The cushion cover was made of a
rather coarse linen of a soft green
shade. while the embroidery was
worked in darker green lustrine,
though naturally it could be copied
in any range of colors selected by Its
maker.
The centre was composed Of big
circle worked in satin and cross
stitch, though, OF course, the actual
stitches would be merely a matter Of
individual taste.
In this circle, inscribed in bold let
ters, were the words, lie Temps
passe, L'amatie reste," or some other
appropriate motto might be used.
From the centre radiated faint pencil
lines (easily washed out after they had
served their purpose, and the en-
broidery was flnished), and on these
lines my friend had asked her friends
to sign their names.
The signatures were many and
varied, but when embroidered In stem
or~outline stitch the effect was re-
markably good and had far better
result than the inartistic and promis-
cuous scattering about of names on
the now commonplace teacloths, says
Home Notes.
A row of feather stitching In an
other shade Of green finished off the
frills' junction to the cushion, while
more names formed the border of the
we'll stuffed cushion. The frills them
selves had charming little star shaped
stitches to form a finish, worked
along the hem, and the whole effect
was so satisfactory thought Others
might care to make themselves
friendship cushion for their own par
ticular den.

DOG DIES SAVING BABIES FROM
BEAR.

Three little children of s. B. Waite,
who lives on the mountain near Ty-
rome. Pa. the eldest of whom is but
nine years old, were saved from an
infuriated female bear by faithful
pet dog, which was torn to ribbons in
their defence.
The children, accompanied by their
canine pet and playmate, were stroll
ling through the woods. intending to
visit an aunt, who lives a short dis
tance from the Waite home. Pass
Ing a piece OF dense brush, the Oldest
child, girl, saw three young bear
cubs at play. The children stopped,
and she ventured into the brush and
picked up cub not larger than
kitten and began to stroke it.
While the younger children
watched, half afraid to approach the
other two cubs, who began to willie,
the mother bear came crashing
through the brush and charged. The
little dog, not one-tenth the size of
the bear, leaped to the rescue, tack
ling the animal and distracting her
attention while the three children
dropped the cub and fed back over
the train to their home.
Arriving there they told their fa-
ther OF the occurrence. Mr.. Waite
promptly summoned neighbors and,
armed. went to the spot, hoping per-
haps to find the brave little dog alive.
but the faithful little pet had fought
the bear and given the children time
to escape safely and died in the task.
The body of the dog was carried
home and buried. the parents of the
children and their playmates acting
as chief mourners. Over the grave
marker was placed with the in
scription, He was only dog. but he
died for his little friends"

You cannot get close to Christ with

The Other Side.

1t is admitted by everybody that
the saloons make town lively. They
keep police courts busy, supply occu-
pants for jails and prisons and con-
tribute sensational incidents for news
papers; but heretofore little has been
said about the moral benefits exerted
by them. In the campaign coming
on, this moral issue should be kept
to the fore by the saloon orators and
organs. They should prove that
towns are made morally better by the
presence in them of large number
of saloons. 1t should be shown that
the presence of several saloons in
each block downtown improves the
appearance of business streets, and a
sentiment of pride in the existence of
saloons and desire to see their num-
Der increase would be natural corol-
larry following a demonstration of
their moral benefits.-From the
Rockford Republican.

Saloons i'm Chicago,

To every church in Chicago there
are ten saloons, and the drinking
places outnumber the police two to
one, according to a report of the
Juvenile Protective Association.
There are 7155 saloons in the city.
"A conservative estimate of the cost
of maintaining the average saloon" :"
says the report, is $1,000 for license.
$1,000 for salary OF bartenders and
$500 for rent a year. making a total
of $25OO. IL we multiply the 7155
saloons by this amount we have a
total of S17,S87, 500. Now, II we
take the population of Chicago as
100000 (including every man,
woman and child, then 1t Is easy to
be seen that the cost per capita at
this conservative estimate. which does
not include any profit whatsoever, is

them together with over and over

Stitch them across back and forth on

and you have quilt made in very
short time. When you wish to wash
them 1t is very easy to rip out the
stitches and put together again. If

land. A heavy balance wheel is kept
in motion by an electric magnet,
mounted Numerically across it. Az
the balance wheel swings against
