TAKING AWAY THE FENCE.
By Bev. E. 1'. Keucli.
What would be thought If there were
a towu iu which there were dangerous
places around which the town had put
fences to keep persons from falling into
them, if, at night certain men, auu
Iimnnir fhnm onmo r\f t U n innof xrt ni
auiv/115 iuvui ouuic UL iuc piuui
ineut men in town, should go uad take
the fences away? Would it not be regarded
as an outrage too improbable to
be believed? Yet I saw somethiug like
that. There is a town that had in it
places more dangerous than any bluff or
pltiall; so dangerous that a mother said
of her little son. who skipped along in
front of us, "1 would infinitely rather
put him into his grave than for him to
fall into these places." The people of
that town had put every safeguard
around them they could, and had passed
the local option law and were enforcing
it Yet every night when the train came
men claiming to be good men received
bottles, jugs and packages, and made
conditions like dangerous places with
no fences around theni. They took the
fences away and tried to make it appear
that it would be better not to have
any fences at all. I would be sorry to
be a man who would take a fence away.

A BUSINESS PKOrOSITION.
Mr. Robert Henderson, acting chief actuary
of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society oZ New York, under the instructions
from Hon. Paul Morton, the president
of the company, recently gave out
the following statement:
"All conditions being equal, the use
of intoxicants reduces a men's expectancy
in life. The greater the use, the
greater the decrease, in some instances
reaching an undesirable minimum for
life insurances companies," said Mr.
Henderson. "Life insurance experts
agree generally that the teetotaler is a
lirst-c'.asa subject for life insurance."
This statement from such a high authority
will hardly pass unnoticed. The
brewers will probably be compelled to
protest against the Equitable Life Assurance
Company's interference with
personal liberty, but the thinking people
of America will probably be more inclined
to accept the verdict of Mr. Hen.
derson and Mr. Morton and others who
stand with them in the high circles of
life insurance companies in the United
States, rather than to accept the dope
of the average beer advertisement
"Hypocrisy!" The brewers lately met
iu a representative convention bewailed
the "hypocrisy" of total abstainers and ,
temperance* legislators who say one j
thing but are moved by secret springs c
to do another. Temperance people pro- *
feBsed to seek the good of the com- i
muntiy but really were seeking to
destroy the legitimate business Interests
of the brewers, was the charge. So they J
were "hypocrites." Under such circum- |
stances one certainly feels like using
the boyish retort, "You're another." The
thought of these men, met to boom a
trade in intoxicants, professing to be j
guided by high Ideals of conduct and to
be seeking anything but the almighty |
dollar, is a fine exhibition of gall. In i
one of our western cities a stranger was ^
recently being shown the finer parts of t
the municipality. As they went by the j
most lordly and sumptuous palace on
the avenue the stranger asked, "Is that
the governor's official home?" "No,"
was the reply, "that is the brewer's
private residence." The men who build
such baronial halls out of the profits of
the poor man's beer can afford to
finance conventions which obligingly
pass the resolutions written in his office
And our great newspapers as
obligingly publish them?The Advance.
