, William McKinley said: "The Uq
our traffic is the most degrading and
ruinous of all human pursuits. By le

with the liquor seller the responsibil

Theodore Roosevelt said: "The liq
uor traffic tends to produce criminal
ity in the population at large and law
breaking among the saloon keepers
themselves." "
Abraham Lincoln Bald: "Whether
of not the world would be vastly, ben
efitted by a total and final banishment
from it of all Intoxicating drinks
seems to me not an open question."
William Howard Taft says. "To the
man who is engaged in responsible
work, who must have at his command
the best that is In him, at its best
to him, I would with all the emphasis
I possess and urge, 'Leave drink alone
absolutely.' He who drinks is delib

knaves. There are a few knaves even
among the prohls, and I think pos
sibly some fools among the antls. May
be not, yet this is my opinion. He is
knave who thinks everybody bad
but himself, and a fool who never finds
out the difference.' -
" No man should be condemned for
Btanding for principle, but he who
places interest above "principle" is
to be watched. Who loves pocket and
privilege more than right is danger
ous. Most prohibitionists are men and
women, specially wlve3 and mothers
who are persons abstaining entirely
from drink. There are some who in
dulge in the "bowl" who need pro
hibition to help them stay Bober.
' Environment of early youth does
not have the blessed effects some
times, ascribed to it. The open saloon

drunkards.
A preacher had been brought up In
the most careful of homes. He was an
eloquent man. He married the daugh
ter of another minister. Tne young
man's work lay among the towns
where the saloons were regulated (?)
He began to drink. He left his wife
and three children to do the best she
could. All the wife could do was to re
turn to her parents and with impaired
health, cast the burdens of herself
and family on these old people.' These
were persons who "never touched liq
uor," and according to the saying of
the short-sighted, the liquor business
should not trouble them. Environment
and the best training sometimes are
ineffective against this evil. The only
remedy I know is absolute and entire
eradication of the cause.
