Show War or Intemperance A correspondent asks : Which hr.s destroyed the largest amount of life and property in the last hundred years, war or intemperance ? We cannot tell; but if our correspondent corres-pondent will foot up the loss of life caused by war and the immense national debts of civilized countries which have mainly accumulated from the same cause, he wilt probably prob-ably come to the conclusion that war has been decidedly the mast destructive destruc-tive element of modern as it was of ancient times.
