Homer, Banks County, Georgia, Friday, October 9, 1914. 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.
