MODERATE DRlNkER TO BLAME.

We maintain, not as radical reform
ers or as %prejudiced prohibitionists
but merely as fairly intelligent observ.
ers, that the example { the moderate
drinker is far more dangerous than
that Of the habitual drunkard-just as
the respectable" saloon is far more
dangerous than the basement dive.
What young mar ever takes his first
glass with the intention of becoming
like the Keeling, degraded sot he
passes in the street with disgust? Or
like the pitiful wreck of humanity
seeking to regain his lost manhood in
an inebriate asylum? No. he intends
to be like his friend, Mr.. A., that pat

GOING UP AND GOING DOWN.

Two men, n well dressed and the
other seedy and wobbling, walked
along the street. A third man asked
a fourth: What makes the differ
ence between those two men," and
got this reply: One patronizes dry
goods and grocery stores, and the
other p%atronizes saloons" That was
explanation sufficient, but this may be
added: THE seedy man is well edu-
Gated and his wife a college graduate,
while the well dressed man has little
education but gets value in return for
his money. Saloons make difference
enough in two men, n going up and
the other going down"

INTERESTING FIGURES.

TO those who say that to abolish
the liquor traffic will throw men out
of work, it should be shown that the
number of those thrown out Of work
from inebriety is much larger. The
number of men in Massachusetts in
the liquor traffic In 1905 was 1854;
the number Of arrests for drunken.
ness was 73,972-67.46S males and
e,5O4 females. Some of those, Of
course, were repeaters, but the aggre-
gate number Of those thrown out OF
work through inebriety is several
times the number of men employed in
the liquor business.

REPRESENTATION.

This is the question, beginning with
the individual: If prohibition Of spir-
Its In his life and work are absolutely
necessary, does the same thing hold
good In the community, in society. in
business circles everywhere?
IL prohibition can be made prac-
teal in a town or city, and show a
profit and gain in every relation, why
cannot this be extended and applied
to every form Of human activity?
There Is no theory or ideality in this.
