ivas found t hat this poison blights
that lino of evolution, no tnatttr In
w li.it form of life. You crtn take tM
vegetable kingdom, whetber a beaut
Iful flower that has been built up In
recent year, or a wonderful vege
table, and If to the water that you
use upon It you mid some of thin
l is, hi. you will find that the further
evolution or form stops; and If yon
persist you will find that this poison
gradually consumes and devours the
products of past evolution and tends
to set the plant back to a lower
stage of evolution as It was when
it grew wild In the fields. You take
the animal kingdom and the same re
sult will be found. A little kitten
brought up as an alcoholic, when It
Is grown, will not play with a string
and has no Hpeclal interest in a
mouse, and you will finally wipe out
all the processes of evolution that
have developed in the kitten since
It, was domesticated by man. Dogs
will have no more care for their mas
ter than would a wolf, and 6,000
years of evolution In the dug family
will be blotted out. You take the In
dian, in a very short time you will
turn a peaceable Indian Into a sav
age. Those who have watched the
effect of alcoholic poison upon a
black man will find It will take an
Incredibly short time to blot out all
the reBults of evolution since he has
been in clvlltzitlon and put him on a
level of cannibalism. Take the nob
lest specimen of the white man and
watch the debllitattng effect. A
nan who would not harm an Insect
is turned into a brute and he will be
guilty of inhuman acts.
You can take a man with a high
sens, of honor, a man of noble an
cestry, who would cut off his hand
before he would stoop to a dishonor
able act, and you can note the pro
cess of degeneracy until you will
soon find you cannot depend upon
his word, he will become careless of
his obligations, his moral Bense will
become blighted and be will even be
cruel to hts own flesh and blood. A
record was kept for one year of cas
es of murder in the United States
und it was found that , cases
were where men killed their own
wives while they, through alcohol,
had degenerated toward the savage
state. An appalling fact."
Alcohol poison not only destroys
life ten thousand times more tli.in
does war, but it also acts contrary
to nature and degenerates. Nature
continually tries to make each gen
eration higher and nobler than the
preceding one. if parents do ought
to destroy this tendency the result
Is shown In their offspring. Some
claim tiiat the barm done by alcohol
is due to the abuse of it, and pride
themselves upon the temperate use
of it.
Again some claim that the URe of
ulcohol for themselves is not wrong,
but advocate total abstinence lest
their example might cause some
weaker person to become a drunk
ard. Nature dose not stop to con
sider whether a person is a moder
ate drinker or a drunkard. The
temperate drinker has enough of the
poison In his system to produce de
generating results. Captain Hobson
brought statistics to prove this, gath
ering them from the Investigation
made by the British government at
the time of the Boer wur, when they
found that their men were not meas
uring up .to the requirements.
proor nrougnt was tins: i ney i
cated ten large families In which
both parents were alcoholic, and
ten living in the same conditions who
were teetotalers. The ten families
of alcoholics had fifty-seven chil
dren. Of these fifty.seven children,
ten were deformed, six were epilep
tic, six were idiotic, and only ten
normal, or an even seventeen per
cent. Of the ten families of teetot
lars there were sixty-one children,
and all these were normal except
eleven and five-tenths per cent, and
i hey ware not seriously abuoriuaj.
Of the children, eighty eight ami
five-tenths per cent were normal In
the one case, and only seventeen
per cent In the other." Again he
says, "A man might take chances
with himself, but if there is a spark
Of nobility left in his soul lie will
take care bow he would allow his
voluntary actions to affect, in such
a terrific way, the lives and eternal
destinies of those whom the Klern.il
has given him the power to bring in
to the WOrtd. It was found that, in
ie smallest quantity, alcohol is a
poison. It has no food value. if
you take one glaM ot beer, your ef
ficiency will be lowered eight per
( tut If you take three glasses of
beer, or Its equivalent a day, at the
end of twelve days your general ef-
' ficiency will have been lowered from
twenty-five to forty per cent, vary
ing according to the kind of work
I you are doing.
Thai will give you a true measure

nation'! produotivenees. There are

"The total amount expended for

of economic loss for every dollar of
revenue. When this natitpi expends

no congress, but has a ven large

we say of a tyrant that sits upon a

purpose of destruction and dogciter
any, It some lnvatler came to this
land anil took away from any llihab
want the products of his farm, this
country, if need be, nuuld go to
arms. Here we have a destroyer
who conies down upon us cer eiir
ami takes away from out people
more than the proline's of all the
farms, forests, mines and fisheries
combined, as though It look away
from the nation, mother earth, the
hind ami the water together. Would
you not ay that it was not only the
right but the duty of the state to
put an end to any such tyranny?"
Alcohol Is lowering the standard
of citizenship By its use our law
abiding citisens are changed to crim
inals What Is the duty of society
towards a destroyer that not only
strikes at Mm prosperity of the peo
ple, but also at their character and
moral natures? "It la estimated by
scientific men that the standard of
citizenship in great cities like Phil
adelphia, New York and Chicago, al
ready has been so lowered as to he
a menace to Belf-Rovernment, and
that there are enough degenerates
in the great cities who are at the
beck and call of the power that made
them degenerates, to disrupt self
government ami liberty within these
great cities.
"It Is high time that we pledged
ourselves, the best that is In us, to
destroy this destroyer that Is strik
ing at the standard of our cltUen
ship and the character of our peo
ple, that would actually blast our
chances not only of taking liberty
but of carrying the Gospel to the
world. When we strike at character
and lower Its standard, we are block
ing the fray for the Gospel and the
Christian religion.
"It Is the tirsl duty of any state
to protect the lives of Its people. I
cannot be true to my facts without
regarding the saloon Institution as
a wholesale assassin. The state not
only has the right but It Is Its boun
dsn duty to protect the lives of Its
citizens. This is not only a question
of the life of the individual ctUlSn,
but It is actually a question of the
nation's lit'.' Itself, and the first law
of nature the law of self-preservation
gives the state and the fed Oral
government not only the right, but
the bounden duty to strive as fast
as possible to put an end to this
deadly traffic. You recognize now
what is at stake. What Is your ver
dict? I have given you the cold,
hard facts. No statements that I
haev made can be successfully chal
lenged, nor Is there any attempt to
challenge them; they are vital truths.
I ask you what Is your verdict? I
will pronounce It. We reached a
conclusion as to the individual, that
the only reasonable life in this world
Is a life o totafl abstinence. We
now register the verdict of society
and the state, namely, that this
great destroyer itself must be de
stroyed. It Is written in the book
of fate that this great destroyer
the liquor traffh shall be destroyed.
But the almighty Is nut coming down
to the work himself. He has placed
this work In our hands. Therefore.
