NATIONAL PROHIBITION.
The prohibitionists are making a great campaign now,
for national prohibition. Their agitation of the great prob
lem of alcohol poisoning is bound to do good by arousing
public sentiment against drunkenness, but they will scarce
ly succeed in getting the citizens of America to set up a
paternal government at Washington.
Yet, who can wonder to find temperance workers
going in for drastic measures. An increasing understand
ing of the subtle and insidious power of alcohol to pervert
human nature and destroy civilisation changes the pro
portions of things mightily.
Such little things as the form of government and the
rights of individuals scarcely seem worth bothering one’s
head about when one begins to comprehend the relation
ship of liquor to crime, poverty and' suffering. Governor
L. B. Hanna says:
In this day and age we are studying conservation from
all its different angles, and he knows of no conservation
so necessary as to conserve the young men who are to
grow up and to take their places in the affairs of state
and nation. I believe, says he, that for the best interests
of the future of our country we should have prohibition
not only in onr states but in our nation as well.
One might logically argue that a people who are not
wise enough to keep sober should be deprived of the
right of self government, but it is impossible to make the
United States a nation of tee totalers through national
law.
The best that can be done is to spread the cause of
temperanoe from man to man, just as the cause of love
and charity and truth are spread. A leading temperance
writer has said:
•‘I have often wondered when the working tem
perance men and women will be rewarded for all
their expenditure of labor, time and money by the
complete suppression of the liquor traffic. The
answer is now going about the country freely, to-wit:
when the churches shall wake up to their duty and
responsibility. But when will that be? When intelli
gent men and women, the leaders of publio opinion,
shall clearly comprehend the relation which the
liquor traffic bears to the poverty, pauperism, suf
fering, wretchedness and orime of the country.
“The liquor traffic is a tremendous power; its
weight is all and always against the right and on the
side of every wrong. But, as God reigns, the right
will eventually triumph. When that time comes, as
come it will, I would not like to be one of those
compelled to admir that this great triumph for God,
civilization and humanity, had been won with no help
from me.”
We offer this little sermonette as worth a thousand
times more than an harangue for natural law. Laws are
useless, unless men can be found to enforce them and
they are for this reason not worth making, until they are
an expression of the spirit of their times.
We do not need more laws to promote temperance.
We need more persons to believe in it and promote it, so
that the laws already on hand will become vitalized and
active.

I AM HUNGRY
I Caught Sight of An Elderly Gentleman, Tottered To

“1 am hungry.”
Verdler put his hand Into hts
pocket, took out a large silver colu
and gave It to the beggar.
"You are very liberal," I remarked.
“Do you know what It means to
be hungry, he asked.
"No, do you perhaps?”
"Yes, I do, and 1 will tell you all
anout It. You know I was poor when
1 first came to Paris and had a hard
(druggie to get on. Mow hard, neith
er you nor anybody else ever knew.
1 woke up one morning in August
depressed and hungry, more hungry
than I can describe. I had tasted no
food since the morning bef.ire, 1 did
not have a single cent and every
thing that 1 could pawn was gone
1 did not know a single .person who
might assist me. 1 rummaged
through all my pockets and found
nothing hut a cigarette

though the streets full of despair.

gone. Then the waiter served a

the waiters and guests were staring

eye*.
Then It occurred to the poet that
she waa perhapa a foreigner who did
not understand Herman and he waa
surprised that he had not discovered
that right away.
Her very feature* and figure ought
to have told him that ahe waa no Ger
man hut undoubtedly a I’arlsienne,
charming, chic and graceful aa ahe
waa. It waa too stupid that he had
not seen that at flrat glance. Thank
Clod he knew her language. He ad
dressed her in French.
She smiled, u faint pitiful smile and
shrugged her shoulder* to indicate
that she had not understood him.
The young man did not know what
to do. Then ahe was no French
woman either. What might ahe ha

membered the lanky, angular daugh
ters of Albion that he ln»d seen. The
Idea was absurd. Should ahe he a
Russian? If ao, he was lost, for he
did not know a single word of Rus
sian.
Ihil suddenly he heard her address
him In Ilia own native tongue:
“Don't try to find any more subjects
of conversation, for I should not un
derstand you. If you want anything,
you will have to say It very loudly Into
my car, for I am almost deaf."
So thkt waa why. The young man
was dumbfounded. All his confidence
of victory had left him and he felt
aomethlng he had never known before.
Then h* collected hla wlta. What
was he to do? Should be shout his
wish into her ear? No, that would
never do. What he had to tell her
isSild he told only In the softest whisp
er, and silent and discouraged he
walked alhng at her side.
The streets with their crowds and
noises lay fnr behind them and the
mighty trees of the Tlergarten formed
a green dome over their heads. Then
he looked at her deeply and tenderly,
with eyes so full of fervent, passion
ate adoration, that It ran like red hot
lava through her young body.
And now she smiled, a tender happy
smile, and trembling with delight her
lips whispered: “Yes, I understand
you "
