An audience that taxed the seat
ing capacity of the Methodist church
to its utmost greeted Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, who gave an
address in the interests of the Anti
Saloon league Sunday evening. Capt.
Hobson is conceded to be one Of the
greatest temperance lecturers on the
American platform and the announce
ment of his appearance never fails
to bring out an appreciative audience
eager to hear the message he brings.
Captain Hobson's subject was "The
World War and the Great Destroy
er." The conquest Of the air, of the
sea and of the obstacles on the land,
he claimed, has made the whole
world a neighborhood so that nations
and races now must either live like
neighbors, or else organized might
must rule. In long gruelling war
like the present one the morale that
sustains nations and armies and
brings victory in the end proceeds
from the upper part Of mems brains,
the part that distinguishes man from
the brute. It is just his part of the
brain that ethyl alcohol attacks the
most.
with our thoughts, our hearts,
our prayers following our sons and
brothers, the youth of the land, as
they go forth clean and sound from
our homes to fight for country and
humanity, why should we tolerate
liquor and its whelp vice as they
break these dear ones in health, in
morals, in character, and cause, as
they have in cases, more to be in-
capacitated thus than from the bull
lets and shells Of the enemy?" the
speaker further said. Our youths
have enough peril in the trenches.
Why expose them to this graver per-
IL in their camps in this country and
abroad? We have powerful enough
foe In the Hun. Why give him an al
ly to double his ravages in our midst
This question of liquor goes on
so deep into the lives Of individuals
and of nations, that not only do we
incur the danger of losing the war
is we neglect our duty in this regard,
but even If we win the war its great
sacrifice will be in vain, for we shall
be doomed ultimately to lose the
very objects of the war Ethyl al
cohol, the poison in liquor, is the spe-
cific cause of degeneracy and no high
civilization can be built up or per-
petuated with degenerate peoples We
are not fighting for selfish advan-
tages-we are not animated by low
passions and motives-we have ans
wered the call of humanity in the
hour of its peril, and we propose to
win this war, no matter what the
sacrifices, in order to protect and
promote the highest welfare of the
whole human race.
I'VE are fighting that all men may
be free to exercise their higher IA
culties. We are determined to over
throw autocracy and to make dem
ocracy its free institution unless it
becomes sober. We are fighting a
bloody war in order to reach con-
dition where peace shall be endur-
ing. The world soused in liquor has
mans brains largely numbed in the
delicate gray matter that distingu
ishes man from the brute, so tina.

Destroyer" Portrayed by Hobson

endeavors to kill the other first. In
vain shall we hope to establish per-
manent peace in the world, unless
we now make the world sober.
Behold the brewers, distillers,
wholesalers and retailers who make
up one-third of one per cent of our
population. Behold them as they
collect from our people every year
more than half of all the cash money
in circulation; the backbone of the
traffic being the brewers, and the
backbone of the brewers being Ger
mans, with the backbone of the brew
cry stocks owned In Germany. Be-
hold this handful of citizens getting
rich by poisoning the nation with the
specific for degeneracy, entailing the
appalling material losses pointed out,
and laying a heavy burden upon the
species. Behold this handful Of Ger
man citizens getting rich by break
ing our sons and brothers that have
gone forth to fight for country, sue
cess of our arms and the great cause
for which we fight.
''In ordinary times governments
are bound hand and foot and gag
ged by the liquor traffic. Now any
government can take whatever meas
ures are necessary to destroy the
liquor traffic. There never has been
a time like this, not since the morn
ing stars sang together. Woe to the
nation that does not become sober
now. II it returns from the great
war and lapses into degeneracy, you
can write it epitaph in advance, with
Nineveh and Tyre. Woe to the hu-
man race If it does not come forth
from this fiery furnace.
"The lightnings and thunderings
of the great cataclysm signal the
hour of destiny. This call to Ameri-
ca is not a call to a king. 1t is not
call to an aristocracy. 1t is not
call simply to our president or our
government. 1t is call to you and
to me. How imperial this privilege
of American citizenship! Once to be
a Roman was to be greater than a
king. Today, to be an American is
greater than an emperor. II your
duty is at the front, make the best
soldier that ever wore a uniform.
Master the new weapons and drills,
learn disciplines, obedience, subor-
dlnation, keep your health and NOR
ais and character at their best. When
at last the call comes to you to go
over the top don't befududle your
brain with rum, but pause before
you start and commit yourself into
the hands of your Maker-then con-
centrate all your faculties at their
very best upon the path of duty. Go
on and on, don't stop for wounds,
leep reserve supply of vitality at
hand. If you fall, smile as you fall
the American smile of victory is
sacrifice. With your last breath Of
fer IN a prayer of gratitude that in
the hour of the worlds great crisis,
you had the privilege Of being an
American soldier and making the
great sacrifice. The generations un-
born will call you blessed.
"Do you stay at home? Be bet
ter citizen than you ever been before,
less selfish, do every duty. gladly
bear the taxation. Join me in the
high resolve that, with Gods help,

WE HAVE PROBLEMS OF our OWN

If there ever was time in the history of the whole
world when thinking and women need to think
calmly and dispassionatey it is now.
If there time when every man and
women in this country needs to study the problems OF
government and the vital situation it s now.
The is over, but there IS peace yet. 1t will
be long time before normal conditions restored
The world will never be it before 1914. This
country viii exist under the conditions abored
under before August t. 1914 hence behooves the
people of this great nation keep close with
passing events with contemporaneous history with the
political world with the economic fabric.
No longer is it possible for human being TO live
alone without thought of his fellowmen. His relation
to them needs to be carefully studied He now has
duty to society he has had before He live
for Others not himself The marp who lives for himself
