ARE MEDICINES LIQUORS?

A certain class OF prejudiced and
Jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic beverages They will
tell you that such and such a med-
cine contains as much alcohol as n
glass of beer or a certain quantity
of whiskey; but they do not mention
that the beer or whiskey is swal-
lowed at one drauEht. while only n
small quantity of the medicine is
taken at one dose. At the same time
they will use alcohol quite as freely
and many in four or five times as
great proportions in their own pre-
Jcriptions.
Such standard remedies as Lydia

jerve the root and herb extractives,

A TALK
Gy John Z. Mason.)

i have been called upon 10 write or
lecture on two subjects by the leaders
pr two parties. ] at first declined.
put have decided 10 write word or
Two.
First, we call up the question of
temperance for a little talk. 1t is
very well to attempt to wipe out in
temperance by the license. the law
and local prohibition. 1t is all very
well to establish leagues for the sup
preston of vice and license. 1t is
very we'll to work upon the fears and
sympathies OF few rum driven cattle
by means Of the revival meetings. but
what does it all amount to? These
things cannot reach desire.
Heredity is what is giving the coun-
try its legacy OF wrong doing and liy-
Ing. 1t is heredity that is fostering n
nation OF dissolute men and women. 1t
is heredity that is filing our asylums
our penitentiaries, our reform schools
and every pressure that is brought TO
bear throughout the present cannot
erase the deep rooted sin Of the past.
Heredity IS tho law immutable.
Heredity Is the shadow OF the first
generation upon the second. Now to
reform the country. 1t Is necessary
TO teach every individual the RESPONSE
bilities Of parenthood and the cul-
kure Of children. That is the only
way that you can root out evil condi-
lions. 1t is the only way you can
make race OF healthy-minded, yigor-
pus, clean people, instead of a weakly
miserable horde unhappy unfortunate
people, cursed before birth with the
hneradicable stain Of social evil.
thoughts are things. Each and every
thought goes for good or evil, for
thought is the foundation Of action
The average individual is an unclean
thinker. He allows his brain to accept
the refuse of impulse and he lives in
an atmosphere OF low thought. This
has an effect upon some future deed
1t becomes portion Of his life and
has an evil influence. Bad thoughts
make bad actions in the home and
school and church. 1t is necessary to
commence a campaign for purity, n
campaign that has so long neglected
that nation has been weakened It
is only by intoxicating pure thinking
in the American youth that the brain
will be trained to the responsibilities
of beautiful parenthood and leave a
legacy Of purity to impart to the next
generation.

one to blame but herself. She gave
them to 1t. AS she lived and thought
so will her child live and think; II
her life was beautiful and her thoughts
pure her child will be beautiful and
pure and yica versa. II she had
thoughts Of hate and fear she impaired
those characteristics 10 the child and
she is responsible for the success, the
failure Of her childrens lives. The
responsibilities Of parenthood do not
begin after the birth Of the child, they
begin before the child Is born and new
or cease until the child has developed
character and knowledge and wisdom.
Too many people do not regard this
lntempernnce will continue Just so
long as parents are Incorporate. It
must be eradicated now to take an
effect on the next generation. Every
thing depends upon the now. 1t is
now that heredity can be made a curse
or n legacy Of good. 1t is now that
we can lay the superstructure Of ma
ton of universal wisdom and char
acter and 1t is now that We must adj
yocate the necessity Of thinking, right
living and purity Of mind and moral.
It is time to teach 1t, is time to live
it is time for you to start now in the
work Of reform by confirming your
life to lines of sweetness and purity.

Rider and Driver, referring to Mr..
Hughes's fight as governor against
race-track gambling, says: ION first
thought the impression was that this
record would initiate against him,
but on mature reflection we feel that
time has healed much of the bitter
ness Of that struggle and that the
improved conditions of racing would
seem to Justify his course. which was
undoubtedly based on a high moral
sense of righteousness. In looking
back now, one readily sees that the
governor was the infexible agent OF
a statewide sentiment to put down a
condition that had fastened itself up
on the splendid sport of racing,
which, although drastic, has undoubt-
edly proven to be, like the eradica-
ton of slavery and other evils, for
the best good not only of the people
at large, but for horse-loyers and
racing interests in particular"

Recruiting FniIurc-The Hay
army bill is proving, as is indicated
by the official figures, a failure. For
five months the military authorities
have been making extraordinary eff
forts TO recruit the 10000 "emer-
gency" soldiers authorized by that
measure. These efforts have result
ed in recruiting 53S men. The regu-
lar army today is actually j ,756 men
weaker than the authorized strength
of year ago. In other words, there
has been absolutely no gain what
ever from the Hay emergency reso-
luton" The provision that post
masters should act as recruiting
agents and receive n bonus of IS for
every man recruited has been in op-
Grafton ten DAYS and has not pro-
duced n single recruit. Under the
Hay bill the authorized strength of
the army will increase annually for
five years, but that is merely on
paper. Actually, as has been said,
the army IS not recruited up to the
point authorized before the "emer-
gency resolution" was passed. The
administration says this is all due
to the war prosperity, but army off,
GERS say 1t Is because Representative
Hay and the administration have pre-
ferred to have their own way rather
than take the advice Of the military
experts In framing the recruiting pro-
visions.

THE COMING DAY

Wherein has labor gained any
thing. but the lesson we'll learned
that they will have TO act together
II they are to get better conditions
for themselves!
So long as the public can be taxed
$25.O00,000 for an increase Of S.
100000 paid to a group OF workers,
the workers. in their economic or
ganization, can gain but little. So
long as private ownership OF the
means of production and Transports
ton exists, SO long have the work
ers, no matter how solldly they stand
together on the economic field. taken
but one step toward the goal OF their
freedom.
The workers will have to abolish
private ownership of tho things
necessary to their life. This can be
accomplished by and through two
methods-industrial and political SOL
idarity.
The finest example of strength Of
labor was shown by the power of
the labor unions to frame n law gov
erning theft economic security, and
by taking in hand huge club-the
right to strIke-they marched to the
halls OF Congress. and there demand
ed that the legislation they wanted
be put through.
Congress obeyed. 1t could do moth
ing else.
Political solidarity of the entire
working class, coupled with the eco
nomic power of the workers in their
labor unions. will bring the coming
day of labor's freedom.
