Close of the School Year

the parents of the pupils many of whom have been able
only by treess industry and the practice of the
stringent sefdenal, to keep their children in school,
The pupils rejoice that respite from lessons and
school tasks has To the graduating classes sep
araton from school friends and the familiar scenes of
school life, brings tinge of sorrow and regret.
The liquor traffic is the sworn, inveterate impa-
cate foe of the schools 1t its vicious fight on the
pupils before they born and with the "reminiscences
of cruel fate follows up its fight them through
their school days and out into after life.
Seventy-seven per cent of the children of drinking
ancestors are mentally deficient The liquor traffic
takes pupils often the merest tots out of school and
consgns them to the sweat-shop and breakers. 1t

SEGREGATION in NeW Zealand

New Zealand has placed two islands at the dis
posal of the Salvation Army for the isolation of inc
briates.
New Zealand sets saloon traps all over the coun-
try for the purpose of spreading around the disease OF
imebriety among the people.
Then when anybody catches the disease in the IL
censed shops the government grabs them and drags
them off to an isolated island till they cured
dead
If they live then they sent back to the vicinity
of the licensed dens where they catch the disease all
over again and then the victims again dragged
off into this island of segregation to be treated again
for the same old disease
Wouldn't it be better to segregate on the islands
the persons who spread the disease and give the vic
TINS chance for health and happiness at their own
homes?

Kill EN- Off j! /!

EVerybodys Magazine for June turns loose its
hrst batch of letters from people who tell what thew
know about Rum Various plans are offered for
the solution of the liquor problem
Louis G. Copes, of Buffalo, New York, winds
up his argument in behalf of the continuance of the
saloon with this sage conclusion:
The liquor problem is one that does not concern
i!quor IN concerns man. 1t is not solved by destroy
liquor 1t concerns man. 1t is solved by Destroy
self, for he is the liquor problem"
That IS pretty bloodthirsty proposition: If
man becomes the victim of drink, KILL him.
II man becomes the victim of the saloon sys-
tenn KILL him.
If a man is afflicted with the hereditary disease
of inebrety, KILL him.
After the saloon has trapped man. DESTROYED
his manhood, robbed his family and degraded him so
that he is not worth much to society," Whv KILL
him.
The liquor want the job of doing the KILL
ING
There IS good profit in the business of KILL
ING men by selling them poisoned drinks.
The liquor corporations equipped with
couple hundred thousand saloon slaughter houses all
equipped and manned by competent cutthroats to
do the KILLING.
They are ready and anxious to undertake the
KILLING process part of the process and are willing
to deliver up the public treasury part of the profits
arising from the slaughter
That is fine system
If any little one is born into the world with club
foot crooked spine, KILL it.
If any little Helen Keller is deprived of her facu-
ties in her infancy, KILL her.
Mr.. Copes very we'll expresses the theory of the
liquor corporations even though he does it rather
bluntly.
