debate: "Resolved, That Govern
ment Ownership of Railroads woult
be better for this country than tn
Present System of Railroad Organ
izations of Independent individuals
At the beginning Of the new yea
is the time for good resolutions
What if one of them would be word
ed like this-Resolved that no in
toxicating liquor shall enter m.
home or touch my lips during tn
coming year. This would be res
olution and example worth takin,
into consideration by every youn,
man in every family especially
igiven by the head Of the family
The young man now confined to be-
with a broken leg the result of
Christmas booze and Christmas ire
scramble in this vicinity would hav
avoided that experience if such
resolution had been taken New Year
Day a year ago. Is there any mathe
matician that can figure out no,
many thousands have been dumpe
into drunkards' graves in this cour
, try last year, the most of them
their prime of life, how many vic
, ows, how many fatherless childre
left in miserable condition, no
many sleepless nights by mother
, moistening their pillows with teal
! for their boys? How many wrecke
: homes? How many drunkart
wives and daughters must hide #
shame and disappointments?
. anyone able to give an estima'
of how many thousands of youn
sons and brothers and fathers star
v ready today as recruits to fall I'M
line and fill the ranks in place ,
those unfortunate victims Of la
year? We don't know who thu

IS band, your son, your brother or al
