man naturally temperate has any
slightest conception of the drunk
ards desperate struggles, sorrows
and repeated efforts-heroic, even
has even once in all his life tried to
do right as earnestly as that drunk
ard in the gutter has tried over and
over again.
IF prohibition is to be perma-
nent, if it shall be proved possible
to wipe out by law the sorrow that
has destroyed so many lives, ruined
homes, and broken the hearts OF
mothers, none will be so glad as the
drunkards themselves, non so eager
to thank their deliverers.
This may be said, however, with
no possibility of successful contra
diction. Your law may make a man
sober for the day or for the week.
1t will not keep him sober, unless
you contrive to make him happy,
free from worry. If by law you can
abolish the poverty, worry, heart
ache, and life-hatred that drive har-
assed, weak men to drink, then by
law you can also abolish drunken
ness.
You will have unreasoning
drunkenness so long as you have
poverty undeserved. Fight ignor-
ance, fight want, fight anxiety and
the dreadful monotony Of the i'll
paid workers life. Then you will be
building up temperance on an en-

republican gentlemen who pointed
with pride to the awful panic that
was to follow Wilson's election. The
price of cattle, you remember, was to
fal sixty points in sixty days. The
price of hogs was to drop to four
cents. Corn was to be SO cheap it
would not be worth hauling to town
for fuel. Lambs and wool were to
be given away as premiums to any
body who would accept the sheep as
a gracious gift, while horse, mules
and other farm property would be-
come as worthless as a republican
campaign promise. The democrats
have now been in power more than
eight weeks, and more than six
months have elapsed since the cleo
ton. A special session of congress
is sitting at Washington and every
body knows the tariff is to be re-
vised downward, yet business con-
tinues brisk at the old stand: the
factories are in full blast every
where; the mills and mines were
never buster or more prosperous,
while prices for everything the farm
er has to sell remains at top-notch
figures. Those of our republican
friends who appointed themselves
advance agents for Mr.. Panic are
now running around in circles try
ing to find out why he don't come
along as advertised. The rest of the
country had long since awakened to
the fact that high tariff taxes have
no more to do with the real pros
perity of this country than cold
potato has with the east wind.-Re-
