What He Said.
'NThe greatest moral movement known
TO civilization is taking place in the
southern states. 1t is a natural devel-
opment.
This is the grandest, best age of his
tory, since the coming OF Christ. The
saloon business with all its devastating
deviltry is out Of harmony with it. {.
Yes, this age is TOO good for the
damnable institution that has nade
more paupers. blind and cripples than
any other damnable institution.
The Cause of Disease.
I'VE have had advance in prevention
of disease. Why not against the very
cause of it all2 1t is directly shown
that the liquor traffic is responsible for
more than one half Of all disease
Eighty percent Of the orphans are made
by strong drink VIII not the nation
that cares for the orphan destroy the
orphan maker?
"BIindness-SO percent Of 1t comes
from drink. Doesn't the drunk see
double? Insanity? Drunkenness is
worse. The drunkard cannot enter the
kingdom OF heaven.
Saloon Man and BrOtherhOOds.
''This is an age of brotherhoods.
Can a saloon man belong TO the
Masons? No, he can not. The brother
hoods are doing the work the churches

There are more good men than bad
men, honest men than thieves, more
sober men than drunken men, The
dirty gang knows it's masters voice.
