fill reports were adopted while a
series ot seven recommendations
from the Executive and Laymen's
Committees went through wiih
much enthusiasm. Those commit
tees for the recommendations they
are to assist in carrying out,
wdiieh will mean great things for
the Tug-do.
‘‘We the Laymen’s and Ivxecu

The Economical Problem
of the Liquor Question
Ist. Temperance. C unpare the
earning capacity ol a temperate
man from 21 to 00 years of age
w ith that of a drunkard whose
average life is shorter and wages
much less.
2nd. Physical. Consider the
waste of human life and intellect
which the state sutlers each year
through the inlluence of intoxi
cants. <>ur jails and penitentiu
lies are filled with men and boys
brought there by the “great do
striker.” The state supports
them and our jails are in better
condition than many of our rural
school houses and churches.
sid. Spiritual. No drunkard
can enter the kingdom of God.
Whiskej makes men light, it is
true, but they usually light other
drunken men. The champion of
liquor does not stand in the tern
pie of fame, he stands in the po
lice court. Honor never has the
delirium tremens. Glory lines not
wear a red nose. \\ liiskey im
poverishes your children and it,
brings insanity and suicide, it
will take the shirt off your back
and it will steal the coilin fro n a
dead infant and yank the last
crust of bread out of the hand of
the starving child, it will take the
last bucket ol coal out of your cel
lar, it will send you home bleary
eyed and staggering to wife
and children. It will take the
virtue from your daughter. The
saloon is a coward. It lights un
der cover of darkness and assassi
nates the character that it cannot
damn, and it lies about you. It is
a thief. It is not an ordinary
court defender that steals your
money, but it robs you ol man
hood and leaves you in rags and
takes away your friends and it
robs your family It is a sneak
and a coward. Ido not know one
good thing about a saloon. It is
an evil thing that has not one re
deeming feature in ail its history
to commend it to men. It breaks
the laws of God and man; it de-e
crates the Sabbath; it profanes the
name of religion; it deliles public
order; it tramples under foot the
tendcrest feelings of humanity; it
is a moral pestilence that blights
the very atmosphere ol town or
country, it is a stain upon hon
esty, a blight upon purity, a clog
upon progress, a check upon no
bler impulses; it is an incentive to
falsehood,deceit and crime. Search
through the history of this hateful
thing and find one page over
which some mother can bow her
grateful head and thank God for
all the saloon did for her boy.
There is no such record; all the
history is written in tears and
blood, with smears of shame and
stains of crime and dark blots of
disgrace.
