TEMPERANCE COLUM

C T U
There never was a time since the
dawn of history when a line of demar
cation was mori accurately diawn than
at present wh n right or wrong virtue
OTd immorality truth and falsehood
6ve and hate are met squarely fae to
Jacc and when the churh of God and
ifce legalized liquor are standng on
diametrically opposle ground
1 hero is a prohibition wave gradually
irat Srnily spreading over our 0
an omen denoting an awakening of
Christian people to crush an institution
itom which so much misery and sin is
produced
Itis theduty of the church of the
living God to annihilate this diabolic
fife destroying crime producing woe
botten liquor producing and consum
ing evil
The liquor traffic is producing so
Tiuch harm corruption and suffering
ftiS it positively has no right to exist
ind5t is high time that we a Christian
ytah God fearing people called a halt
T3 fe a pertinent question
Qh ycrrfi right and the liquor
Is the
traffic
arrong We huve no right to condone
no excuse to make no evasion to allow
no apology to present no compromise
to enter nor have we a right to remain
silent- Vast sums of money are an
nually spent to pay the horde of officers
who preside over our criminal institu
tions to support the criminal inmates
of our prisons and our penitentiaries
resulting from overindulgence in liquor
Our monev kincs should donate
large ums of money to establish a pow
erful crusade against this evil tending
6- crowd our hospitals our almshouses
oar prisons and our asylums
Sad it is indeed that those who are
3 the helm of the national government
are conniving at this awful calamity
instead of enacting laws to suppress it
Sis annually licensing hundreds and
shousands of saloons to foster this
atrociously wicked business
Woe unto him that giveth his neigh
bor drink that puttest thy bottle to
Lim and maketh him drunk also

The use of liquor by tourists on board
ocean steamships is decreasing accord
ing to testimony of men engaged in the
transportation business Sir Thomas
Sutherland chairman at the annual
meeting of tho Peninsular and Oriental
Seam Navigation Company held at
Ion -declared that though their
a carried morepassengers than they
carried ten years ago the consumption
of wine beer and spirits had fallen by
50 per cent while at the same time
there has been a notable increase in
the consumption of mineral water
which was unknown on board ships in
the tropics a few years ago
In 1907 the saloons of Ashtabula O
were in full blast The number of ar
rests made that year was 1752 Two
nvnths of the year 1908 saloons were
doing business in that city The num
ber of arrests that year reached a total
of 734 showing a gratifying decrease in
the number ot offenders In 1909 with
out saloons the number of arrests
dropped to 529 less than one fourth as
many as during the year that saloons
existed in the city
Have you noticed that when the time
comes to vote On the wet or dry
proposition there are women in every
town who pray for victory for the
drys Is there a case on record
where a woman has prayed to God for
the triump of the saloons No The
saloons stand for preying not for pray
