SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOu1
THE VICE OF INTENIPERANCE.
An Appeal From n Drinker.

The following pathetic and tragic
letter is published in the American
Magazine:
About seven years ago l had a
wife and one child and held a civil
service position which would have
insured me a good salary the rest of
my days IL | had not gone to drink
ing. ! lost my position on account OF
drink, was suspended from my lodge
for misconduct while intoxicated, and
finally got to where I could not even
get work as common laborer.
tried to reform, but found 1t impossi-
BILE II I stayed in my home town;
tried to persuade my wife to move
somewhere else or to let me go and
then come to me after / had become
established somewhere else. She re-
fused to leave or to let me do so, and
finally ran away from them in order
TO get away from the drink.
81 have been spending the past
three years in the extreme back
woods section Of this State (Flor-
ida), guarding prisoners on turpen-
tine farms, and absolutely away from
all liquor-yet when l had occasion
to make a short trip to one of our
one tremendous ana continues ,strug-
gle to keep out of the bar-rooms, and
1 hope never to be obliged to spend
another twenty-four hours in a wet
town.
This is the situation after a three
years trial at overcoming the liquor
habit: My wife secured a divorce as
soon after left home as possible, and
at thirty-fve years of age | am
obliged to stay away out in the
woods, cut off from everything
consider makes life worth living fol-
lowing an uncongenial occupation and
afraid to go among the people I used
to for fear of again falling. If you
can. through your magazine, create a
sentiment that will make this coun-
try safe for those of us who have
fallen, 1t will certainly be appreciated
by me at any rate"

poisons his blood" This is a bottom
fact-theft, graft, extortion, poisons
the blood; 1t makes a bad character.
We think that a little dishonesty is a
definite thing that goes no further
than the act itself; that a person Is
guilty of a little theft, and that is all
II amounts to; that the sin Is located
like scratch or a pimple. But no;
the dishonesty germ gets into the
blood and poIsons that, and makes the
fault constitutional, ready to produce
all kinds of faults.
There 10 the harm. 1t Is not In
the isolated fact. II poisons the
blood. It weakens the whole man.

II saloonkeeper denies the right
of the farmers living outside of town
to vote on the licensing of saloons in
the town, ask him what he would
think OF law restricting the sale of
liquor to people living In the town.
VIII the saloonkeeper Insist that he
has a right to fill a man with liquor
and send him out into the county to
create a disturbance and then deny
that the people who are disturbed
have right to be heard? The farm
ers are beginning to see that they
have rights as sacred as those claimed
by the liquor dealer.

'truction was proposed. The idea
was to form the car wheels without

forward to show the superiority OF
such a system over the present one.

Time TO Awake,

In October, 1904, there were 5000
legal saloons in Iowa; in October.
1907, the number was 1000; July /.
1908, the number had been reduced
to 1857, and on February /, 1910,
the number was 1868. During the
month OF January, 1910, twenty-three
saloons were closed in the State. and
seventeen druggist permits were re-
voked. Des Moines, the capital city,
with population of 100000, has
ninety-five saloons, which is fewer
than one to 1000 population, the legal
limit. 1t is time for Iowa to wake up
again and drive the saloon OUT
