Drink and Vice

The legislative committees investigating vice have not yet
had the courage to attack this, the evil which leads to the ruin
of more girls than does anything else. Rut it will not be long
before commissions will begin to inquire how many victims
made their first misstep through drink. When such investiga-
tons are scientifically made, the records will show more lives
ruined and souls blasted because of a moral sense benumbed
through drink than from any other one thing.
And this is the knowledge that will sound the final doom
of the liquor traffic. For, if to the other evils for which t must
answer-wrecked homes, widows, ~fatherless children and crowd
ed asylums and jai1s-there is added the responsibility for the
degradation and enslavement to vice of uncounted women. there
is no power on earth that will be able to save it from ami
hilation-Philadelphia North American.

Aurora's Reign of Terror 80 Its Cause
and Cure

Aurora is experiencing a reign Of terror. A few
weeks ago Miss Jennie Miller, daughter of a former
mayor of the city and prominent in social circles, was
mysterious1y slugged to death in the early night time,
near one of the city's churches. Since then four other
women had been assaulted, two of them narrowly es-
Gaping a similar fate. AS yet the assailant or assail-
ants have not been apprehended.
AS usual, where an epidemic of crime breaks out,
the city authorities and especially the police are blan-
ed with indifference, if not with incompetence. How
far, if at all, the police may be to blame, it is impos-
sible to say, but it is safe to assert that the chief re-
sponsibility for conditions prevailing in Aurora rests
elsewhere.
Running through the newspaper reports there is
frequent mention of this or that saloon or liquor store.
Near the iron pipe-wrench, with which Miss Miller
was dubbed to death, were found two empty whisky
bottles, while one Of the suspects was a frequenter of
the notorious Fox saloon, where it is said four or
five hundred buns gather on winter evenings.
Aurora voted wet last spring. Some respectable
citizens, duped by the promises of lower taxes, Joined
with the liquor dealers in maintaining the rule of
rum. They are now suffering the inevitable conse-
quences. If they would rid their city of criminals, let
them clean UP its breeding places of vice.

SUCCESS OF THE WORLDS TEMPERANCE

Never in the history of the temperance reform has such a

For weeks, fifteen or twenty clerks were constantly emp y-

in packing and mailing free supplies for the 5000 Sunday schools
who requested them.
The returns are now coming in by the mail bag full.
Assistant Secretary Milo c. Kelser estimates that the total
pledges taken for that single day will amount to the enormous
total of 100000.

The Ohio Home Rule Association last week filed
a statement showing that 100000 was spent by the

spent scarcely $4,000.
The vets spent $4,000 for advertising, $4,000 for speakers
and between $4,000 and $4,000 was sent to county organizations.
Sixty thousand dollars was spent for printing. THE results
show the value of advertising" said Graham P. Hunt, who was
