They Licensed Whisky To
Take Away This Mans Talent
and Make a VagabOnd of Him

b an editorial about that" said visitor
to The Times office, as he handed us q
newspaper clipping.
We took the clipping and read it.
II was from a Detroit paper and II
told about the death of man who was
well known in the city-a man who had
exceptional talent in his line. He was
well known as a musician and organist.
This is the way the article our visitor
had clipped, began. relating an incident
early in the organist's day of local fame :
The little church of the Epiphany, nest
Hing among the handsome houses at Cadillac
and Kerchevsl avenues was crowded 70 the
doors. II was the occasion on which the new
organ was TO be played for the first time
feeling OF expectancy perrneated the at
mosphere OF the little edifice
As the choir filed into their seats the
organ began TO play that old hymn. Lead
Kindly Light" an unseen player at the
keys At first the notes were low. then in q
high pitch the music shook the walls. the
ceiling and even the pews. Again and again
the hymn was played. the congregation sit
ting spellbound and hoping that he player.
whoever he might be. would go for hours
The very soul OF music was put into all the
hymns that followed and emotional
seated in the church wept
At the close OF the service the crowd
waited to catch a glimpse Of the organist
who could he be-" they asked.
Then they met him. lie met them cor
daily.
The article gave the name of the or
ganist.
We will omit it.
Omitting it may save another heart
ache, somewhere.
Besides, the name isn't essential to
the lesson the newspaper article drives
home in simple narration of the facts.
After the minister had concluded a
word and prayer over the body Of the
dead organist, he had to take a place
at the side of the casket and help carry
it to the hearse-there were not enough
friends present at the services to make
up the necessary number Of pallbearers
The man had died a vagabond
Early in the month he had been picked
Up on the streets, having suffered an at
tack of apoplexy
He was unshaven, dirty and in rags.
He was unknown, and after death his
body was being prepared for Potter
field, when a denizen of the underworld
dropped in and recognized the face.
From this fellow the name of the man
was obtained. the address was learned
and it was found that the last abode of
the great organist had been a room in
the cheapest, most miserable Of our ten
ment houses.
This is the change that had been work
ed in five years
The Detroit times., 1916-09-16

The man who brought us the clipping
thought we would have something 20 say
about it, because the downfall of this
man. among thousands upon thousands
like it, was caused by WHISKY.
What the clipping suggests to us is
nothing 10 be said against whisky.
