WHEN ONES SOBER, ONES
ASHAMED TO DO IT"

II was going one day along a street,
said the late Count Leo Tolstoy and
passing some cabmen who were talk
ing l heard one of them say: "Of
course, when ones sober, ones
ashamed to do it,"
When ones sober one is ashamed
of what seems all right when one is
drunk In these words we have the
essential underlying cause, prompting
men to resort to supporters. People
resort to them either to escape feel
ing ashamed after having done some
thing contrary to their consciences,
or to bring themselves, beforehand,
into state in which they can commit
actions contrary to conscience, but TO
which their animal nature prompts
them.
A man when sober is ashamed to
pursue an immoral life, ashamed to
steal, asamed to kill OF none of these
things is a drunken man ashamed, and
therefore if man wishes to do some
thing his conscience condemns, he
stupefies himself.
Not only do people stupefy them
selves to stihe their own consciences,
but knowing how wine acts, when
they wish to make others commit ac-
lions contrary to conscience, they in
tentionally stupefy them, that is. ar
range to stupefy people in order TO de-
prive them OF conscience.
One need only think OF the matter
seriously and impartially not trying
to excuse oneself-to understand,
first that if the use of stupefiers in
large occasional doses stiles mans
conscience, their regular use must
have a life effect whether they are
taken in large or small doses. Under
their influences, murders, robberes,
and violations are committed, and
under their influence words are spok-
en-, or things are thought and felt
which would not have been thought
and fetl, but for them. If the use of
stupetiers is needed to pacify and
.stifie the conscience of thieves, rob-
bers. and profigates. it is also want
ed by people engaged in occupations
condemned by their own consciences,
even though these occupations may,
by other people. be considered proper
and honorable
