Too many people ;4n Madison County drink or deal in liquor. "- The following from the Convention Teacher is timely: WET OR DRY (By JOHN W. PHILLIPS, D. D., in The Convention Teaeher) Some years ago the writer was a i member of the Sagamore Social Con ferenee which held its annual meet kig at Sagamore Beaeb, Massachus etts. The members were the guests of that great and wealthy Baptist layman, Mr. George Colman, who or iginated the idea, and sought there by to apply Christian principles to social problems. Tie . most unique thing about the Conference was the fact that Mr. Colman invited aineit and forceful people of the most dl- f .V iA-.

So has exper ienee proved the necessity of protect ing man from his horal and economic folly." So 'has experience proved the necessity of protecting man from . . ' j his moral and economic folly to which T -. . . - -.. , & , the saloon exposes him. The drink evil must be exterminated. Why? Because it is no longer a moral fue alone. Economic necessity now de mands it, and must be satisfied." When asked why he remained in the saloon business while holding these views, he frankly stated that he was in it for the money, ani with the hope he might eradicate the evils. But soon after he gave up his efforts to reform the saloon, and retired from the busi ness. Another speaker told us that for twenty years he had been a whole sale liquor dealer, but for fourteen years had not tasted any. form of alcoholic beverage. "Whiskey, he said Mwas made to sell and not drink. ;Np wh'iskey Is good whiskey. It is ali bad, ami ft beat 1 aa'M ute worst.'

' The aid of the law was invok ed, ' legislation enlisted, ' demands made, and soon every state in the Am nion, had its laws for 'Regulating the Liquor Traffic,'.' culminating in ''High License," and "Local Option." ! - While this last and, up to that tim, most, radical step worked n6 apprec iable improvement in he general ti tuation, it ; accomplished great,; good by turning , the spotlight on the'sa-' loon rather than on its victims; The it ture. Legally it is as dead as Judas Is cariot, and was slain by its own yjeep. The duty of the hour is to observe and enforce the Constitutional amend ment for National prohibition. And this we will do for G6M, home iced native land. ' - REFLECTIONS OF A MOUNTAIN SCHOOL TEACHER By Jack V. Joyce (By JACK V. JOYCE) ! By what standards do we judge a.' man's success?
