a keynote, though It Is doubtful If Its
bearing will be recognized at first
Temperance, to pioet people means
total abstinence from intoxicating
drinks as a here rag* and prohibition
of the manufacture, sale, and use of
the same by the government.' But
there Is another large class of people
who declare, with the dictionary, that
temperance means the moderate use
of .anything, and that 'neither the
Bible, meoical science or human
tory support the total abstinence
rlew. Both parties do agree that
th^ abuse of Intoxicants Is a curse, al

and are a unlLJn the conviction that
the use and sale should be restricted
to the lowest possible point. There

of so^ety and need^not be considered

'I Radicals and Conservatives.

radicals and the conservatives. The

bottle, and destroy every form of in
toxicant. used as a beverage, by every
human being on this planet The
other class, would not make men vir

but would educate. Instruct and de

as undisturbed and unharmed amid
spirituous temptations *6 ? Daniel ? in

In one direction only, he proposes to
