old. After leaving college the future
soldier and political leader lived TO-
some years teaching mathematics, il
which occupation he made a long
cruise on a United States wars1ip
When he returned he obtained a posi-
tion in the United States topograph
ical corps, and explored the mountain
passes Of North Carolina and Tenne

In 1912 Fremont met in Washington
the young daughter of Senator Benton
of Missouri and they were married Sc
cretly. The couple afterward were
accepted. by the brides father, who
subsequently had Fremont placed in
command of the expedition to explore
the western United States territories,
and Fremont began the work which
gave to him the title OF Tie Pathfinder
and resulted in his candidacy for the
presidency of the United States.
He made five expeditions in all. In
the first he gathered much needed and
accurate knowledge OF the Indians in
Nebraska, Wyoming and the south
pass to Oregon, and planted the Amer
lean flag on the highest peak Of the
Rocky Mountains. The little band suf-
fered terrible .hardships and encount-
cred many dangers, but the results of
the expedition were SO valuable that
Fremont started on another one the
following year. He explored Utah this
time. and 1t was his report of the re-
sources CT the Salt Lake region that
attracted the Mormons.
On the third expedition to California
Fremont got into complications, and
on charges was found guilty and SEN
fenced to be dismissed from the army
in which he had risen to the rank OF
colonel. President Polk, while APPROX
ing the verdict, RENTED the penalty,
but Fremont resigned. This wa in
1S4S, and he conducted his last two eX.
petitions at his W expense. He had
settled in California and had come to
the United States senate in 1850, but
he could not be reelected on account
of his hostility to the extension of
slavery. In 1856 he was nominated
Tor president by the new republican
and National American" parties, but
was defeated. ~.., rg. s....

he was nominated bv radical republi.

that his nomination could only result

General Fremont was governor OF
Arizona from 1878 to 1881, and in
1890, a few months before his death,
which occurred in New York city on

The tramp ceased speaking.
The glass fell from his nerveless
fingers and shivered into a
thousand fragments on the floor.
The swinging door pushed open
and shut again, and when the
little group about the saloon bar
looked around the tramp was

onous. Of course, there is not
the same proportion of poison in
all. 1t takes several glasses OF
wine or lager to contain as much
alcohol as is contained in one
glass of whiskey or brandy; but
the alcohol is there, and it is for
the alcohol that men partake OF
any of these drinks.
Now, what is temperance as
regards the use of any of
these drinks? Tenn perance
means moderation in the use of
things proper to be used. 1t
means total abstinence from
things improper to be used. Now,
since it is a demonstrated fact
that alcohol is a poison, it fol-
lows that alcohol should be used
just as other poisons are used.
How do we use other ~poisons?
Why, we use as medicines. When
a physician diagnoses a case,
and decides that the patient has
a disease for which a certain
poison is an antidote, then temp
GRANGE allows the man to use
that poison. But suppose a man
should use this same poison
when in perfect health, would
that he temperate? Suppose a
man in perfect health should use
every day a small quantity of
strychnine; suppose some one ad-
monishes him of the danger of
so doing; suppose he replies,
20 | do not use it to excess; l
am exceedingly temperate in my
use of it," would he not be set
down as a lunatic? How much
wiser is the man who in perfect
health uses alcohol?
1t is just as. certain that alec.
hol is a poison as that strychnine
is a poison. For a healthy man
to talk about using alcohol temp
erately is therefore the very
heighth of absurdity. In sick
ness alcohol may be used just as
other poisons are used-under
the direction of a physician. In
health any use of alcohol is an
Incorporate use.
Now, with all this overwhelm-
ing mass of evidence in favor of
t)tal abstinence, what plea can
the advocates of rum put in for
a continuance of their tippling
habits? Well, here is a bloated,
red-eyed, red-nosed, equity sep
tuagenarian, who calls out in
stentorian tones; ''look at me, |
am a living refutation of your
total abstinence doctrines. |
have been drinking every day
for fifty years, and it has never
hurt me; but has prolonged my
life" Well as to its not hurting
him, that is not true. 1t is evil
dent that he is not half the man,
either physically or mentally,
that he would have been, had he
been an abstainer. But he is
not dead. That is a fact; and
because he has lived so long with
his drinking habits, he argues
that drink has prolonged his life.
Is this sound reasoning? Let US
see.

for twenty years with all his

tuberculosis for more than forty

cess of blood-poisoning t h a t
comes from even moderate, ord
erly, decorous drinking"
Let it be understood that this
applies not only to distilled liquor
such as whiskey and brandy, but
to wines of all grades and to all
fermented liquors. The claim
that the use of fermented liquors
is a preventive of ~intemperance
has its origin in sheer ignorance.
If this claim were true. then it
would follow as a necessary con-
sequence that there was no in
temperance previous to the dis
covery of the process of distllla-
ton. That this is not true the
merest tyro in history knows.
England, Germany and France
were most grievously afflicted
with intemperance long anterior
to the manufacture of. distilled
liquors; and every one who has
even the slightest familiarity
with ancient history knows that
this is true of all the great his
J toric nations of antiquity, as we'll
as of many wild, nomadic tribes.
Babylon, Persia, Egypt, Greece
and Rome were all cursed with
intemperance and all the hideous
brood of woes that follow in its
train many ages before DISTILLED
liquors were in existance. More
oyer, in France, Switzerland and
other countries where wine is
now plentiful and cheap, intemp-
, erance prevails to an extent that
is appalling.
Let it be remembered also that
lager beer belongs in the same
category with other alcoholic
beverages. The claim sometimes
made that the regular use of
lager in moderation is conucive
to health is VIGOROUSLY untrue.
On this point | will introduce
the testimony of a man whose
business gives him ample
facilities for observing the effects
or beer drinking, and makes it
to his interest to do so. | refer
to Colonel Jacob l.. Green, Pres
ident of the Connecticut Mutual
Live Insurance Company, Colo
mel Green says:
In one of our large cities
contained a large population of
beer drinkers, | had occasion to
note the deaths among a large
group of these persons whose
habits in their own eyes and in
the eyes of their friends and
physicians, were temperate; but
they were habitual users of beer.
When the observation began,
they were something under
middle age, and they were of
course selected lives. Presently
death began to strike it, and the
mortality was astounding in eX-
tent, and still more remarkable
in the manifest identity of cause
and mode. The history was al
most invariable; robust apparent
health, full muscles, a fair out
side, increasing weight, forid
faces; then a touch of cold or a
sniff of malaria, and instantly
some acute desease was in violent
action, and ten days or less ended
it. 1t was as if the system had
been kept fair outside, while
within it was eaten to a shell,
and at the first touch of disease
there was utter collapse; every
fibre was poisoned and weak.
And this in it's main features,
varying of course in degree, has
been my observation of beer
drinking every where. 1t is
peculiarly deceptive at first, and
thoroughly destructive at last"

years old, and been active and
vigorous to the last. AS it is his
sands of life have nearly run.
Does such a cause initiate
against total abstinence doc
trines? Because God gave this
man a constitution capable of re-
sisting the effects of poison
daily administered for years,
does it therefore follow that
every body is at liberty to swal-
low a daily allowance of the same
poison? Will any sane man
stand sponsor for such logic?
The dictum of reason is that any
use of alcohol by a person in per-
feet health is an Incorporate use.
Moreover. even in sickness
alcohol is of far less service than
was formerly supposed. The
notion that alcohol is an antidote
to all diseases, a panacea for all
feshly ills, was long since ex-
ploded. Well-informed physic-
ians use it less and less as the
years go by.
And it should be borne in
mind that a socalled temperate
use of alcohol leads to an in
temperate use. 1t is doubtful if
any man ever used alcohol for
any considerable time without
feeling a strong inclination to in
crease the quantity taken. OF
all the drunkards now living, or
who have ever lived, it is doubt
full if a single one ever intended
from the beginning to become a
drunkard. Their purpose was
to be all through life moderate
drinkers; but the drink habit be-
gat a drink thirst which enslav-
ed them. Every man who drinks
at all should therefore contem-
plate drunkenness as a possibility
that yawns in his pathway. A
habit that has enslaved and
wrecked multiplied millions of
strong men is surely a danger
Gus companion. The following
incident published in the New
Orleans Picavune a few years
ago furnishes a forcible illustra-
lion of this point:
Two young men walking
down the street one evening In
New Orleans saw a tramp look
ing with evident longing at the
bottles in a saloon window. The
young men were well dressed.
well-to-do young fellows about
town, and one Of them said to the
other, Come, let US give this
tramp a drink" They invited
him in, and as with trembling
hand he poured his glass full of
liquor. one of the young men ex-
claimed, Stop! Make US a
speech. 1t is a poor liquor that
does not loose a mans tongue"
The poor wreck of a man, ragged
and dirty, clutched the glass of
liquor in his hand, and lifting it
to his thirsty lips gulped it down
greedily. AS the fiery liquid
coursed through his veins, he
Strengthened himself, and stood

Coleridge and De Quincy were

Does that prove that the opium

Every sane man knows how to
answer these questions. The
consumptive and the paralytic

diseased condition but in spite of
it; and they would have lived
longer but for those diseases.
Coleridge and De Quincy delved
