DRINIC THE DESTROYER OF ALL THAT IS ESSENTIAL TO
, . ' "
AS
u
Once more we take up the subject
that is the tnost important of all to
millions of human beings.
And we urge you to use this pic
ture and this editorial, and your
own stronger personal arguments
with young men that -may be in
danger, with older men and women
that need to be helped to fight the
greatest curse. -
Ihis is a picture that will appeal
to the imagination of children and
to the experience of the old, A few
things make life worth while; among
them: friendship, ambition. lf-r-
SDect. honesty. I. .
All ol these ana many others are
put away in the graves that are dug
by drink. -
First goes ambition. The grave
of ambition is big, and it is filled
with the men that began to drink
with the idea 'that "a little' would
not hurt them," only to find out
that the little of the beginning
meant destruction in the end.
The Hog Productioa f 'Different
States.
The report of the department of
Agriculture- of January 1, 1908,
gives a statement of the estimated
hog 1 production of the' different
states of the west. . .
Iowa heads the list with 8,413,000
hog population. Have any of our
boys and girls any idea of what. 8,
000,000 hogs means? If a boy was
smart enough to count these hogs as
they run through a chute at the rate
of twenty a minute, and was to
work eight hours a day twenty-four
days in the month , and twelve
months in the year he could count
only one-third the hog crop in Iowa
in the year. Furthermore if these
hogs were turned into silver dollars
at ten dollars a head, the boy begin
ning when he was twenty-one years
old, counting sixty a minute, and
working the same length of time
each day as before, would be twenty
eight by the time he had them
counted. Figure it out and seeif
this is not right. Illinois is second
and Nebraska third, but it may be a
surprise to our readers to know that
the combined hog population of both
these states is only 600,000 more
than that of the single state of Iowa.
Imay be interesting also to know
that Kansas, Wisconsin, Michigan,
and Ohio, all four together, have on
ly about 100,000 triere hogs than
Iowa and that Indiana, Texas' and
Georgia have 508,000 less than Iowa
alone. Wallace's Farmer. ; .

Drink has killed more ambition
than all other forces in life put to
gether. ",
Drink kills friendship.
One by one friends are driven
from the man that puts his own sel
fish appetite ahead of duty and of
all other consideration, ;
Friendship fa based upon appreci
ation of manliness, upon the sense of
equality among men. ' '
Drink kills love and happy family
life. ' - , - - :
How many wives. Jiave cluwr to
drunken husbands! . How desperate
ly they have tried to save them only
the drunkards know. But what
drink starts out to do, it does.' It
destroys affection, - and it destroys
the' family. . The family is based
upon the respect of the children for
the father and mother. , Drink de
stroys self-respect, for it kills that
by which respect was created. -

"Tohe Editor: From my youth
I have considered whatever encour
ages drunkeness a damaging busi

thing else that is praiseworthy,
Therefore, I have never from, the
outset of this prohibition campaign
intended to vote for the manufac
ture or sale of intoxicating drinks.
"While I do not consider that Pro
hibition, as it is called, will extermi
nate the evil of drunkeness. yet I
cannot give my vote for what might
seem to encourge the great evil of
drunkeness. ' '

VIEWS OF A NON-CHURCH MEMBER.
He Will Never Be Guilty of Helping
- to Legalize the Greatest Cane.
I'm not a member of any church
and have always rendered the Devil
very faithful service, but I will say
I shall never be guilty of helping to
legalize the greatest curse known to
the human family. .' I have two
neighbors one a fool and the other
an ignoramus both of whom are
opposed to prohibition, and neither
of them can give one common sense
or satisfactory reason for his belief-
Yesterday I was at Sandy Creek
and for the first time in ' my life,
heard a church deacon vobject to a
visiting preacher making a prohibi
tion talk from' the pulpit. L He was
under the necessity of going into a,
man's yard and making his address
in the open air, while the leading
members went off by themselves and
refused to hear one word of the ad
dress. '
If I were in Bro. Duke's place the
next time there was a freshet in
Sandy Creek I would go down there
and take the whole crowd out and
baptise them until they got religion
or drowned. ,

drunkard wants to do what you tell
him, he wants a thousand times more
the drink that he craves.
It is hard to reform a man far
down the hill.
But it' is not hard to fill with
hatred and fear of drink the young
that are still free from it, or those
that are only beginning. ' ..

especially to children, the road that
leads to this graveyard.. .Let them
know that the road hi a steep hill,
that it gets steeper and steeper as it
goes down. : ..

Prohibition and the Grand Jury.
As an illustration of the way ef
fective prohibition operates is fit for
comment the recent experience of
Schley county Georgia, one of the
oldest and most prosperous counties
in the State. When its Criminal
Court met the other day the Grand
Jury met in due form only to return
.with the following report:
"We congratulate the citizens of
Schley county upon the fact that not
a single case has been presented to
us at this term of court that would
warrant a bill, and that we attribute
same largely to the effects of State
Prohibition." " '
Here is concrete evidence of the
fact, that taxes that are paid by
liquor have to be balanced by the
taxes paid for crime, as well as be
ing in themselves a tax upon the
citizenship,the industry and the
happiness of the community. News
