The feeble folk who fought long and hard
against great odds for a recognition of tem
perance aa a dominant tporal Issue bave a
peculiar reason for elation lu tbe fact that
tbe outstanding Issue at moat of thla
month's elections lu tbe stntes has been
some phase of the temperance question. Tbe
day has passed when the temperance re
former watted abjectly, with hat In band,
In the outer offices of disdainful politicians.
Some Surprising Facta.
Thla article la written Juat prlo
November elections; the results of these
will be In tbe possession of those who have
aught to do with World's Temperance Sun
day. A few days ago the ludtiNtrlal section
of Alabama, which centers about Birming
ham, "the Pittsburg of the Booth," went
"dry," to the surprise of the country. The
hardest districts to \ for local optluu
are these congested centers of population.
But there etands Oklahoma, starting out
on a career of statehood, committed to pro
hibition by her new cvuatHutluu. The lm-
K salon that the new West and Southwest
loose-living, hard-drinking regions can
not too gulckly be banished, from the popu
lar mind. Pennsylvania might well go to
school to Texas In tbe matter of liquor
legislation . . .
Georgia recently surprised the country by
voting out the licensed saloon. For one
reason the knew tbat the race question will
never be settled so loug as the lower fires of
rbe negro's nature are fed by alcohol. The
demonstration of Christian sentiment made
in thla connection In Tennessee and Keu-
tnckr, as well as In Georgia. Indicates that
the South Is speedily assuming the leader
ship of tbe nation In matters calling for the
exercise of courageous religions convictions.
Th* remarkable situation today with re
spect to the civic aspects of the temperance
question la shown by a statement of Itev.
P. A. Baker, general superintendent of the
Rational Anti-Haloon league. Mr. ltakcr
that there are at present thirty-five
‘ "Ting In prohibition
millions of Amertcaua Itvl
half mil
of people have abolished *«•
session la»t year, twenty passed laws
against tbe liquor traffic. Sot one passed a
favorable measure. V
Great Britain, also, has measurably shared
In thla a maxing tempera u«e progress. Be
ginning with the birtlf of tbe new century,
the listlou's consumption of liquor began
to decrease, in these seven years It baa
gone from an average of 32.28 gallons of
beer per capita lu a tear to 27.81. Spiritu
ous liquors wore* drunk. Seven years ago,
at the rate of 1.19 gallons per bead annual
ly; last year the average was only 0.81 of
a gallon. • Thla means n reduction of more
than 14 per cent in the use of beer and
per cent in the use of stronger drinks.
Stealing th* Trad* "Fac*. r
A fellow Judge made a similar decision, in
Ithls, some enthusiasts saw a short-cut to a
complete temperance victory. Alas for their
sen Ions hopes! Th* Indiana supreme court
ha* reversed tbit decision. Before the law
In license state* liquor selling is perfectly
legal.
Nevertheless, It needs not the plslnta of
the liquor trade orgaua to make manifest
to even s way-faring man that thla particu
lar business is falling Into increasing dis
credit. On every side It Is being struck
severe blows—even John L. Rullivan, the
pngllist, has entered tbe arena against It.
Unquestionably, tbe saloon-keeper has fallen
Pffi hM* branded® to appear In the light I
of an enemy of humanity. Little children
bave surrounded voting booths bearing ban
ners inscribed; ‘‘vote ‘No,’ for my sake.
Badges of the same sort have played a
prominent part in campaigning. The rela
tion of the saloon to crime, pauperism,
mnrltal unhappiness and other human mis
ery has been painted In glaring colors. |
Even the man who patronises the saloon
feels ashamed of the association. This
widespread outlawing of the business !
bringing It into disrepute everywhere. O
In Topeka last month I saw two yoni
men at a football game with a conceal!*
flask of whisky between them. They would
sneak off by turns behind the grandstand,
and. hldlug their faces In a corner. Imbibe
the flask’s contents. They acted and looked
like criminals; certainly they made no re
cruit* for the trade. Tbat much. It was]
plnlu, prohibition has done for Kansas, j
I* it a Spasm?
The phenomenal progress made during]
recent months In temperance legislation Is
maklug some persons rejoice over tbe dawn
of a cold-water millennium. More cantloua
ones, however, are already beginning to talk
anxiously about the possibility of a reac
tion. Has not legislation swept ahead faster
than deep-rooted public sentiment ? It I
there not danger or a swift descent from
the high plane so quickly attained? pill
not the politicians, by whose help these
new laws bave been placed on statute
books, be ready at the flrst favorable op-
portunlty to forawear their new allegiance?
1 mulitfess. the present high tide will re-
cede somewhat. It la for tbe moulder* of
Christian sentiment-preachers, teachers,
editors and parents—to lead the public Into
a clcur perception of tbe real sit nation. Ap
bourn racing of all tbe fact* and a vigi
lance which does not weary, will conserve
the victories already gained.
Most of all. It needs to be made clear that
I prohibitory legislation la not an end. but a
imuns. Law ran not eradicate appetite.
Human nature Is not made over by statntra.
IKxrept uew purpose* be established lu the
minds of meu and women. bora nnd .girl*,
nil the liquor law* that cat lie devised will
|fall of attaining tbe chief ei),j sought.
Down to Bed-Rock.
Flrat and last, the temperance question Is
one of Individual moral* and religion. The
entire temperance project real* on a ImsU
of Christian principles. Better laws than
any modern legislator* can enact are nece*-
Total abstinence, for conscience sake, and
for a fellow-man's sake, is the basic, essen
tial temperance teaching. Even tbe person
who ran drink spirits without harm to him-
self (and there are undeniably such) may
exercise the higher privilege of foregolug
his rights for the sake of bfs neighbor.
Paui’a statement of the case Is so clear
that it needs no exposition:
"So then each one of us shall give ao
count of himself to God.
"Let u* not therefore Judge one another
any more; but Judge ye this rather, that no
man put n stumbling block In his brother’s
way, or an occasion of falling. I know, and
am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that noth
ing Is unclean of Itself: save that to him
who accounteth anything to be unclean to
him It Is unclean. For If because of meat
