President Taft is entitled to the
gratitude of all moralists and philan-
thropists for the action he has taken
m inn mil &c nf thn q
the need of abstention from intoXi-
cants on the part of those who de-
sire to live usefully and act nobly
He has had distributed thousands of
copies of a letter he wrote on the
subject for the benefit of the Sunday
school children throughout the
United States, citing the example of
Abraham Lincoln as a stimulus to
their patriotism. The President says
in this circular:
The excessive use of intoxicating
| liquor is the cause of great deal of
the poverty, degradation and crime
of the world, and one who abstains
from the use of such liquor avoids
a dangerous temptation. Abraham
Lincoln showed that he believed this
in writing out for his boy friends
the pledge of total abstinence, so Of
| ten quoted. Each person must de-
termine for himself the course he
will take in reference to his tastes
and appetites, but those who eXer-
else the self-restraint to avoid alto
gether the temptation of alcoholic
liquor are on the safe and wiser side.
