rrrn KAISER on TEMPERANCE.

The German Emperor has given
thought 10 nearly every subject that is
of any interest to his people, And so
ut Flemsburg, the other day, he took
up the temperance question.
He spoke To the students, u body Of
young men who are, generally. as de-
voted to their beer and their pipe, as to
their books; ana he told them that
drink Injuries health and dulls intellt-
Eencc. He told them drink. so far from
increasing the efficiency of amy man,
handicaps them. and that the tendency
IN both civil and military spheres is
for temperance and total abstinence.
During the course of his address the
Emperor further told the students that
the future belongs to the nation which
consumes least alcohol. This is notable
because the Germans are supposed to
be all the better for their beer drink
ing. Tho Emperor does not take this
belongs to the nation which consumes
leasts alcohol"
1t would appear from this that the
temperance question Is Of overwhelm-
ing Importance. 1t may not always
have been handled with wisdom, but 1T
presents u problem that must be ap
proached with the highest and best
craftsmanship. If the future of ma
tons depends upon it's correct solution.
1t cannot be turned over to those who
can see no further than to the boundary
line of their own personal interests.
