It is needless to state that the
greatest evil which threatens this
country to-day is the whiskey
traffic. In view of the fact that
t lere is in the United States an or¬
ganization of over two hundred and
fifty thousand saloons and brewer¬
ies and that one hundred thousand
persons fill drunkards graves each
year, can we hope to go on thus
and prosper as a nation ? Surely
not, if we contemplate for a move¬
ment the fate of other nations who
have forgotten God and brought in¬
evitable ruin upon themselves.
This is a national curse and needs
a national remedy. How. can the
nation be made to see it and to
rouse itself and »Imkc o£f inis leth¬
