TTNE',S TO BE REMEMBERED.

James A. Garfield before the Supreme
Court of the United States in 1866
When Ppricles had made Greece immortal
in arts and arms he invoked the genius OF
phidiss to devise a monument winch shoiiiu
svmbolize the beauty and glory OF Athens,
That artist selected for his theme the tute-
lar divinity of Athens, the Jove born 9od-
dess. protectress of arts and arms, OF INDUS
try and law, who typified the Greek con
ception of composed, majestic, unrelentlnS
force He erected on the heights OF the
Acropolis a colossal statue Of Minerva, arm
ed with spear and helmet, which lowered
in awful majesty above the surrounding
TEMPLES of the gods. Sailors on far ships
beheld the crest and spear OF the goddess,
and bowed with reverent awe. 10 every
Greek she had the symbol OF power and
glory. But the Acropolis with its temples
and statues. is now a heap of ruins. The
visible Gods have vanished in the clearer
LIGHT of modern civilization. We cannot
restore the decayed embems OF ancient
Greece; but it is in your power, . Judges, TO
erect in this citadel of our liberties a monu-
ment more lasting than brass, invisible, IN
deed, to the eye of flesh, but visible to the
eve of the spirit as the awful form and
figure of justice browning and adjoining the
Republic; rising above the storms Of politi-
cal strife. above the din of battle, above the
earthquake shock Of rebellion, seen from
afar and hailed as protector by the Cypress

Nor quit his old time friend, to tag

Halfway devotion to his friend;
To seek a kinder man to know,
Or richer, but unto the end
The humblest dog | ever knew
Was, to the man who loved him, true.

Affection for the present gain
"A false display Of love to make,
Some little favor to attain.

Drink is the cause of 43 per
cent Of the homes wrecked by

! Two hundred and eighty citi-
IS were driven insane last year
i: Louisiana by Drink.
Liquor is the cause of Is per
pent Of the children being kept
from school, and Of a great nun.
ber being born deficient. or de-
formed.
Last year Drink was the cause
Of 450 people being sent to the
Penitentiary, in Louisiana.
The above facts and figures
are practically repeated in
every corresponding number Of
population throughout the
United States, except where Pro-
hibition is enforced; for instance,
at least two men out Of every 10
who die in the United States lose
their lives as the direct or indi-
rect result Of Drink, so that every
eight days 1903 men and women
are killed by Drink in the United
States.
This is the number that the
Titantic carried down.

ularly every eight days VIII en- it

fact alone will get next to any
thinking man that has some de-
sire for the welfare Of his c0un.

Again it has been found that
25 per cent Of the Poverty is
caused by Drink; 81 per cent Of
the Pauperism, 45.8 per cent of
the Child Misery, 50 per cent Of
the Crime, and 25 per cent of the
Insanity throughout the United
States.
The above cold figures do not
include all that is to be charged
against Liquor. Think Of the
terrible deeds of cruelty to help

'ead of in the papers every day,

But it has been said a little

But it has been said a little
Liquor used moderately is a good
stimulant; now, these are the
facts:
The stimulating effect Of AL
cohol is very transient, and is
followed by a much longer period
Of depression SO that athletes, ar
tic explorers, etc., who require
their maximum energy are al.
ways forbidden its use.
A good meat, and egg diet is Il
much better stimulant, likewise
Coffee.
On the contrary. it has been
found that Liquor in moderate
amount impairs muscle work, re.
duces The workers efficiency, i'm
pairs the memory, renders the
drinker less able to withstand
sickness, and shortens life II per
cent, as shown by insurance STA
tistics.
Now, as to enterfere with per-
sonal liberty, as a matter of prin
ciple. We do not complain be-
cause the law forbids the sale Of
Opium, Morphine, Cocaine, ETC.,
yet the harm these do is inflnl-
tesimal compared with that done
by Liquor, and as far as drinks
are concerned, just as palatable,
refreshing and stimulating drinks
can be made without alcohol, or
injurious drugs.
AS to Prohibition in juring
a town, state, or corDry financial
ly, the progress and fin;snclul con-
dition of Kansas has long since
disproved that. Gel the facts
about that State, and Georgia,
or any other Prohibition States,

we have to admit that the Pros
have the "goods,' and it is fool
ish to contend that a community
