men or of widely different character to appear very much alike To the casual observer there is lIttle difference between the intellectual giant and the mental weakling when both are dominated d by whiskey The Tho greatest thinker loses the power of coherent thought and acts and speaks as sense lessly as the brother when both are In their cups WhIskey makes t them temporarily Irresponsible but It do does S not make them equal There Is a great de deal 1 of misapprehension on this phase of the whiskey Question Many things are charged to its account that ought to be laid to other causes It is natural for the drunkards friends to seek for ex ec for his shortcomings and it often happens that liquor gets aU all the tho 4 blame when it is not wholly responsible Because a man drinks it doGS does not tle necessarily follow that he would i t have been all that is honorable if he did not drink Setting up at an ideal t x and imagining that each inebrIate would have typifIed that ideal but for his unfortunate habit is a common method of soothing vanity anity as well us as sentimental bolstering of faltering ambition and perished hopes 4 But It does docs no good The better way is to turn the searchlight onto the drunkards character durIng his intervals of sobriety What does he amount to at such did he accompliSh before alcohol gained the thc mastery over him Was he industrious upright and reliable or was wan he weak and vacillating Did he lack decision Were his low Was he selfIsh and careless of hIs responsibilities If these Questions cannot he be satisfactorily answered there is something beside whiskey to be considered Many a woman is dragging out a life of misery as a drunkards wife who would be just justas as wretched for some somo oth r reason if her husband did not drink Many a drinking man lays Jays all 1111 his Ills to 4 whiskey when a large part of them are due de to other causes Whatever the conditions may be whiskey unquestionably makes maltes them Worse and every drinking man Is justified in attributing much evil to that cause The best of men cannot drInk to excess for a great length 4 of time without proving the destructive of power strong drink But t t some of the thc men who drink were not very worthy before they ac that habit 4 Whiskey is the greatest cause of poverty degradation misery and 4 crime But it is not the only cause It If strong drink could be wiped of off of the face fa e of the earth today there thero would still be plenty or of work for reformers EvIl tendencIes are ara not all due to whiskey There Thero are aro paupers who never drank There are hardened criminals who never wore were drunk ards There are wrongs and Ind cruelties that have not oven even the tho 4 excuse of intoxication There is wretchedness and misery untold in 4 4 tern where Wh re alcohol does not rule The Tho world woul not be perfect and ana its inh Inhabitants would not all be saints if there were no such thing as strong drink But it would be bettor and there would be a chance of reaching a solution of other problems that are full of corn com 4 i There are two poInts that cannot be too strongly emphasized First the tho difference In the effect of alcohol and next the in the tho 4 character of tho men who drink it Whether a man become an In or a moderate drinker depends on his susceptibility to the poisonS poison t of alcohol But whether an inebriate shall become vicious and Immoral t is largely a matter of individuality 9 4 If alcohol had only a physical effect it easily might bo be overcome with medicine Or if its effect was limited to the morals it might bo be Icon by reformatory measures But unfortunately tely the action of key is not bounded by simple rules Its power to destroy has haa no 4 t nUe nite limit Some of the worlds ablest workers and wIsest thinkers have been beon peculiarly susceptible to Its poison but because of this it does docs not ilot follow that all men Who are easily affected by alcohol r either workers or thinkers There are drunkards who have reached the lowest pit of desp lr the tho t last rung ot of the social ladder and the limit of their resources who but I for drink would have occupIed po of honor and trust But there are likewise drunkards who would have been rogues and criminals 9 whether they drank or not WhIskey made th m all worse Often it made them seem very much or drunkenness ill in itself is a period of irresponsibility But the similarity does doe not extend beyond time 4 of intoxication 4 The difference in the character ot of inebrIates is not sufficiently con considered 4 4 by those who are interested in various branches of rescue work There is too much of a disposition to treat them aU all alike regardless of education environment and natural disposition But such methods are i clearly impractical and are apt to d defeat feat their own purposes KEELEY Rib 4 West VESt South Temple St SL i I g to JiT i fi I I HAMILTONS I SMART SHOP I 12 2 0 OFF FF SALE COATS
