One Man.
The Russian peasantry arc
about as low in the scale of hu
manity as any people in the world.
For decades they have had little
chance to improve their condi
tion. Their earnings have been
small and the government has had
most of these poured into its till
in exchange for the vilest of
drinks, vodka, as the government
had a monopoly of the sale of
this drink.
So none would think that there
could be much hope of anything
good coming from the Russian
peasantry. So debauched’were
these people by the vodka which
they drank that the great majori
ty of them never worked on Mon
days, as they required that day to
recover from the regular week
end spree.
And yet from 1 his very class of
the lowest sort finally came the
man who was the means of sav
ing the Russian peasant from him
self and raising him to a level of
self-respect and reliability.
This man began as a peasant.
He went to a town and barely
subsisted for a time while trying
to got a start in business. He
was finally elected to the city
council, or body corresponding to
the body of that name in our
country.
While holding this office, a pam
phlet on intoxicating liquors fell
into his hands. It was a medical
treatise showing the injurious ef
fects of intoxicating drinks on the
physical organism of the drinker.
It c used him to begin a study
of the question. He was soon
convinced that alcoholic bever
ages were nothing but evil. At
once he began a crusade to ha.e
he sale made illegal. His resolu
ion to prohibit its sale in his o mi
own was defeated by his fellow !
members.
Later, however, he became
mayor of the town. His constant
preaching of temperance and
growing influence bore fruit after
a number of years and his town
abolished the sale of vodka.
In the course of time this one
man’s voice began to thunder
throughout the great Empire of
Russia. At last the war came on
and the voice reached the Czar,
with the result that the govern
ment ceased to sell vodka in all
Russia and prohibited its sale by
anybody.
What is the result? This order
has been in force but a few
months and yet even now a new
Russia has emerged from the
darkness of its recent past. The
peasants are sober and no more
have idle Mondays, the women
and children wear a more healthy
look and better clothing. The
people have more money than
they ever had before. And this
is the work began by one man.
He was not a m re reformer
either, as some monied me n
sneeringly speak of some men
who have been too busy with
higher pursuits to make money.
This Russian has become a mil
lonaire while bringing about a
evolution in the habits ui a na
on.
We may get many lessons from
this Russian ‘with unpronounce
able name, But the grey lest is
it a great faith possessing an,
