Temperance Truths.
The president of Fliends' Uni
versity, of Wichita Kans., says
"No man is so ignorant that he
needs- to be told of the sorrow
and misery which follow in the
wake of the drink monster; a
more effectual way will ; be to
make - him famUar - with, the
financial side of the question. No
license "system yields ' a revenue
equal Va the outlay sustained by
iimHuhitywhlch main tains a
saloon." ' ':
No less than fifteen whiskey
advertisements alone were
counted recently k ih a single
American magazine which makes
great pretensions as ia home and
family magazine. ' Magazines
woulds gain . the respect j of
Hundreds, 'by khuttin
i rr
off these
advertisements. r "?
.-The' president of Lindsburg
Bethany college, Kans., says
'The American saloon open by
law and license is our greatest
enemy to , decency, morality and
religion. Our "prohibition lawg
kill the saloon."
12ov: Mr.' Rankih, a western
minister, says "It is the moder
ate drinker who gives to the
saloon its character? iteis he and
not the man in the gutter whoso
example is followed by the
boys." , , . ! '

two in regard to the town clock.
I think if Mr. "SV and a few
other cranks and fault-finders
with the "town clock'would throw
away their Old cheap two-dollar
watches, and get good ones, then
they could afford to kick if the
town clock didn't run jight.
