Gehring, OF this city, will defend his
title of middleweight champion wrestler
in a mat bout here tomorrow night with
Mike Yokel. of Salt Lake City. An

There is hardly to be any real con-

the worlds champion Athletics because,

Tue history Of every communi.
ty, great or small. furnishes
abundant material for treatise
on the devastation wrought by
the drink evil and the liquor
traffic. Let any one who IS
skcptical on this subject make
even a cursory study of the life
stories of any town or hamlet
of our country and note the effect
through two decades of the in
diligence, even moderately, in
the appetite for strong drink,
and If on the evidence shown ne
permits himself to render fair
verdict he will give his unreserv
ed condemnation of the business
One of the most striking pieces
of evidence will be found in the
faces which are missing. FIX
Senator Chauncey Depew once
said, Twenty five years ago
knew every man, woman, and
child in Peekskill (his boyhood
home) and it has been study
with me to take boys who start
ed in every grade of life and see
what has become of them. On
my last visit | began to count up
those who began with me, and 1T
was an instructive exhibit.
They become clerks, merchants
manufacturers, lawyers and
doctors, and it is remarkable to
note that every one OF those who
drank is dead not one living at
any age. Barring few who
were taken of by sickness every
one has proved q wreck and
wrecked his family as we'll. =
This statemeal of Senator De
pew's is colroborated by physi-
clans who have found that alco-
hol always attacks a man at his
weakest point, and men die at
fifty or sixty when they ought
TO live to hale and hearty old
age, all because, in the words OF
DR. Sims Woodhead Alcohol has
picked out the weak link in the
chain, a link which would be
holding firmly enough if it had
not been weakened in this way.
But sad as to the history of
those who fall in the battle Of
life at the time when they should
be doing their best fighting, the
sequel Of the tragedy in even
worse. For these men, cut off
in their prime as the result Of
their evil habits, leave to their
offspring a terrible legacy of de
PRAYED appetite, weakened con
stitution and nine times out OF
ten pitiful lack Of those ad
vantages Of home ana school
which are the rightful heritage
of every child. But RETROSPECT
ton is worse than useless unless
it leads to improved conditions.
1t is the business Of every Christ
ian man and woman to see that
the history Of the next two de
cades shall be of u different tenor
from that Of the past twenty
years. With our public schools
our insurance societies, our rail
road and great industrial cor
porations proclaiming from the
housetops that the drinking man
will always be a cipher in bust
ness and in society, it is not to
much to expect that the next
generation will see with clearer
vision the enormity of the crime
of legalizing an institution which
deprives the nation of so large a
part Of its most valuable asset
it's citizenship. Union Signal.
