Drunkenness with its inevitable COM
panions, inefficiency, sickness, power

homes to which we deliberately sell
out. We are putting a fearful handicap
upon the home when We sell a license
to man to do business that cannot
possibly succeed without demoraliz-
ing and lmpoverishing some of those
men who should be the protectors and
supporters OF our homes. This is lit
orally what society does. 1t grants a
man and a woman a license to estab-

shall be able to support the home and
raise family. Then it turns right
around and sells to another man the
right to do a business that will surely

Lovers of the American home, how
long will we endure it! How long,
Lord, how long!
AS we prize virtue and manhood, as
we value our flag and the institutions
for which it stands, let US hold invio-
late the home. No matter how humble
1t may be it is sacred if somebody
calls it home. 1t is a little dominion
all by itself where reign a king and
queen, and where dwell princes and
princesses 1t was of this kind of home
that William Pitt said, "The poorest
man in his cottage may bid defiance
to all the force of the crown. 1t may
be frail; it's roof may shake; the wind
may blow through it; the storms may
enter, the rain may enter-but the |
king cannot enter!"
1t is to this sacred place that the !
man tired in mind and body turns from
life's turmoil; and hither the children
hasten with unconscious instinct
bringing their little cares and ankle
ties, and here the weary but happy
wife and mother waits with the wei

HEAO-0N COLLISION
MICHIGAN CENTRAL PASSENGER
HITS A FREIGHT NEAR
JACKSON CITY.
FIVE KILLED AND MANY HURT
Work Of Rescue Difficult Because of
0arkness-Number in Wreck Two
Hours After coiIision-Two Cars
Are Teiescoped.

Jackson, Mich.-Fiye persons were
killed and possibly a score were in
jured when a Michigan Central pas
senger train collided head-on with a
freight train about three miles out
side this city. The baggage car and
coach of the passenger train were
~telescoped and every passenger in the
coach was either killed or injured.
Several of the wounded were hur
ried to hospitals here on an interurban
ear, the line of which parallels the
Michigan Central tracks at that point.
Owing to the darkness the work OF
rescue was slow n difficult. TWO
hours after the collision a number OF
the passengers were still in the wreck
age and it was believed some of these
also might be dead.
Access to the wrecked coach-it was
the smoker-was INSTRUCTED by the
walls OF the baggage car, which com
pletely encased 1t. Inside this trap
could be seen from a dozen to a score
passengers. Some OF them were
moaning or s%hrieking for aid, while
Others lay still, evidently dead.
The only body identified was that
OF Engineer Cal Johnson, of the pas
senger train. He was crushed to death
between the tender and his cab
The wreck apparently resulted from
q misunderstanding of orders. The
freight, 1T is said, was supposed to
take a siding to allow the passenger
train to pass. The collision occurred
q quarter OF a mile beyond the switch.
