IF PROHIBITION WERE A FAILURE.
Prohibition is not a new experiment.
If it were the failure it is claimed to be,
then the results would be the worst
where they have been longest afflicted,
and the most uninviting nf inuocti.
gation would be the state of Maine,
where for fifty-eight years there has not
been a legal brewery, distillery or saloon
in ihe entire state.
Who says that prohibition is a failure?
The men who do not want it; the man
who contributes vast sums of money to
defeat it; the men who violate the law,
under license and under prohibition;
who ship their outlawed traffic over the
dry i>ne in disguised packages; false labels
and lying oills of lading. These disinterested
witnesses are the loudest in
proclaiming the failure of the law.
Who says that prohibition is a success?
The people who want it; the people
who have tried it, lived under it,
watched it in operation, compared it with
regulation, and vote year after year to
retain it because it reduces to a minimum
the curse of the saloon.
the same newspapers today which, by
reason of pay or policy, denounce local
option and every other form of restruction
of liquor traffic neutralize daily the
effect of their own arguments by being
compelled to print the news of the
crimes of the previous day.
DRINKS?A SEDUCTIVE PERIL.
Ihe first and most seductive peril, and
tne destroyer of most young men, is the
drinking of liquor. I am no temperance
lecturer in disguise, but a man who
knows and tells you what observation
has proved to him; and I say to you that
you are more likely to fail in your career
from acquiring the habit of drinking 11a
uor than from all other temptations likely
to assail you. You may yield to almost
any other temptation and reform?may
brace up, and if not recover lost ground,
at least remain in the race, and secure
and maintain a respectable position.
But from the insane thirst for llqour escape
is almost Impossible. I have known
but few exceptions to this rule.?Andrew
Carnegie.
WAS IT WELL TO BE A TEETOTALER?
A group of clergymen were discussing
the subjects as to whether It was ever
rignt ror ministers to drink wine. One
said, "I am never asked to take a glass
of wine without recalling an incident in
my early ministry when I came very near
yielding with, as I found out later, fatal
results. When I left the seminary, I determined
to he, not a temperance man,
.ut a total abstainer. I had been at my
first charge only a few months when 1
was invited to celebrate the eightieth
birthday of one of my most honored
parisnioners. As the champagne was
passed around the table, the thought
came to me, 'Surely this Is one place
that I should break my resolution. Will
it not look very churlish to refuse to
drink the health of this noble woman?'
But before the butler reached my plate,
I determined to adhere to my usual
custom, and simply turned down my
JTH. 27
glass. Imagine my joy, a few hours later,,
when one of the ladies told me that herson,
just about to enter college, ha<*
told her that day: 'I haven't quite made
up my mind about signing the pledge before
I leave for Yale. 1 am just goinfe.
to let it depend on what Mr. Brown doe&
tonight. If such good man as he takes^
it, there can be no harm in it. " After a.
pause, the clergyman added: "Friends,,
do you wonder that I never touch it?"
