LIQUOR I GUILTY.

When a man drinks something that
makes It impossible for his brain TO
control his actions, he is triaing with
his own and others safety. He is
therefore guilty of criminal negll-
gence. When a man sells to another
anything that produces such effect he
also is guilty Of contributing to what
ever harm results. The man who
votes for the sale Of such poison
must bear his share of responsibility.
Drunkenness is no defense when &C
cident or crime results from 1t, be-
cause every man who gets drunk
knows the danger. The fellow who
gets drunk invites trouble. He drinks
to satisfy an abnormal appetite. Tue
man who sells drink knows what are
its effects. He knows that crimlnality
and accidents 90 with intoxicatlon.
He doesn't care. His motive is money.
The man who votes for saloons knows
all the harm they do. He doesn't
care, either. He is as guilty as the
other two. He may escape punish
ment here. for human law will not
reach him; but he cannot escape the
