Bradshaw and the rest of us that are fighting this monster evil, liquor. Tat tling and cigarette smoking is bad, but pot to be compared with the 'evil of in temperance ' i I Ho w Mr. Tabor got the idea; that we were hard on Brad r shaw and the rest of the tem perance workers is peculiar. We printed Mr. Bradshaw's on the liquor traffic, and sug gested that he write articles on . backbiting and : cigarette 8moking-twQ- other species of intemperance, as much or more sneaking' undermining, dan gerous. &nd damnable than the whiskey species of intemper ance. It's the cigarette kids and tattlers that furnish most 6f the grown up still-house customers. ..Better commence at the foundation, and then keep it up along the line. ; The plan of attacking one rpart of intemperance, attributing to it evils that belong to and origi nate with other forms of intern perance, has so far and" always will be a failure. IWhen a great church trembles and f e air to pass' anti-cigarette resolu tio'ns lest the prince of : cigar ette kings withhold appropria tions to ch urch Institutions, i t can do little good : advocating the abolition of other forms of intemperance, - to : which the cigarette habit inevitablxleads This is said iti all kindness and without intending.to be 'fhard on anybody, but is jilst a few straight hard facts. -No iee to Teachers.
