Whisky, you're the institution that

Driving little boys and girls about the

Nebraska Preacher Says Things
at Funeral

Brownsville, Neb., March.-Severe
arraignment of the liquor business
was poured out by Rev. Mr.. Alder, at
the funeral here of Alva Curtis
Chambers, man whose death was
the direct result of whisky. Rev. Mr..
Alder did not mince words. Among
other things he said:
'Inasmuch as in the last few months
three of the citizens of our city have
lost their lives as the result of the
liquor traffic, l believe it time to call
a halt Had any other monstrous
beast in the same time sucked the
life blood from three persons every
citizen of our municipality, lifting
hands of holy horror, would have
marched to their defense. But three
does not express the number. There
are hundreds of men in our vicinity
who are in the clutches of this de-
mon, Drink. But our community is
not peculiar in this Throughout the
United States during the time it takes
me to read this paper 200 American
citizens shall die as the result of the
liquor traffic.
"But would not be misunderstood.
For the sake of the family let me
say plainly, l am not here to con-
denim the deceased. I do not give
them my condemnation but my pro-
found sympathy, as I do to every
man who has the appetite for liquor
I would say as my Master said:
Neither do I condemn thee but go
thy way and sin no more I feel no
bitterness against the men engaged
in the liquor business. They are there
by the consent of the government
which shares the spoils. My denun-
citation then is not against the sa-
loonkeeper but against his rotten bust
ness. / think just as much of him
as l do of the man who votes for
the saloon, or rents his building for
that purpose. And if you are here
who voted for the traffic that killed
this man, charge you before God OF
being responsible for his death.
"Now as we pass from the church
to the graveyard let us go with this
resolution that we will place an X
on the ballot at the place where it
will kill the foe"
Every saloonkeeper in town was
present at the funeral.
