III. Laboriug Mans Curse.

Cardinal Gibbons in discuss
ing the great question OF temper
ance, makes the following state
ments:
The great curse of the labor
ing man is incompetence.
II has brought more desolation
to the wage earners than strikes,
or wars, or sickness, or death.
II is q more unrelenting tyrant
than the graspinR monopolist. II
has caused little children to be
hungry and cOldi to grow up
among evil associates; to be rear
ed without the knowledge of God.
II has broken up more homes
and wrecked more lives than any
other cause on the face of the
earth.

The Gospel Of work.

Work has a moral as well as an
economic value; idleness corrodes
the character. When one is do
ing nothing, the consciousness of
the fact.annoys him, and he en-
deaTors to find some excuse; and
as there is no reasonable excuse
his vision becomes distorted by
the effort to find even PLAUSIBLE
explanation of his refusrl to rem
der service to society. Carl Hill
ty, the Swiss author, says that
happiness is only possible when
one is engaged in some regular
work which occupies his time,
employs his mind and satisfies
his conscience, and no one can
doubt the truth of the statement.
God never intended man to be a
drone and man can not expect to
enjoy life or the respect of those
whose respect is worth having if
he is not able to show that his ex-
istence adds something to the
worlds activities, to the worlds
wealth, and the worlds welfare.

W. G. r. u. COLUMN.
Local Option. Whyl

Did you ever pause to think of
a reason why the liquor interests
of this state are in favor of local
option?
Liquor men will tell you that
they favor local option because it
is democratic. 1t is democratic
but in the narrow sense.
Democracy means government
controlled by the people. State
wide prohibition, if enacted by a
majority of the people of the
state, would be democratic in the
broader sense.
But is this the real reason why
the liquor interests of Florida fa-
vor local option? Let us see.
When the present constitution
was adopted, Article XIX of that
instrument provides for local OPP
ton in this state. was bitterly
fought by every liquor man in
the state.
Yet it was democratic. The
principle of democracy was not
born yesterday. 1t is older than
the government at Tallahassee.
The liquor interests in New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Illinois and Ohio are fighting To-
cal option. Yet the principles of
democracy hold good in these
states.
In Alabama the liq uor interests
fought local option until a state
prohibition law was passed. Now
that the state is under prohibi-
bition the liquor dealers have be-
come hot advocates of local OPP
ton. They are great sticklers
tor democratic principles. and
have with them every brothel
keeper in the state.
1t is so in every prohibition
state. Why2 Because local OPP
ton is a step backward. Not a
step toward liberty. Liberty
means freedom of action, so far
as it may 60 without trespassing
on the rights of others. No, not
a step toward liberty, but a step
toward license. And license as
applied to the sale of liquor mean
"unrestrained liberty of action;
disregard of propriety; abuse of
privilege. I"
Don't allow yourself to be ham
boozled by the liquor oligarchy's
soldering concern for
the great principles of democra-
