Gives Temperance Lecture
At the time of granting the divorce
Judge O'Neill took occasion to give
/ a short temperance lecture for the
/ benefit of those present. He said it
was the same thing which he had had
over and over in his court expert
ence. It was case of family brok-
/ en- up and the care of child falling
upon someone else on account of the
! liquor traffic. He blamed the exist
ing American saloon. He said he
! supposed the institution would exist
until the people arose and put it out
j of existence. He believed it's abol-
I ishment would have much to do in
reducing the number of divorces, and
! bring more happiness into the home.
/ There would not be so much want,
i and cases, such as this one before
him, would not arise.
