Show IS STILL A ' LIVE QUESTION That the liquor question has been threshed for the past 100 years is not sulllclcnt reason for abating the tight now. Familiarity with unfortunate conditions ought to arouse sympathy for tho victims of those conditions, but It should serve to heighten rather than take the keen edge from the tight in behalf of those who may yet be ensnared. en-snared. The liquor question Is one of the most serious that Logan, Cache county and the entire country has to deal with today. It is a question for every man and every woman; for every boy and every girl In this land to consider. con-sider. It Is a question that every father should be able to bring intelligently intelli-gently before his son and, regret tho we may be to state it, that every mother should discuss with her daughter for the evil Is notconlined to the male sex alone. Personal Work. Gather your chlldien aiound jou and tell them of the soriows that drink and drunkenness brings into the world. Tell your boys that t lie most Inveterate sot had to take his llrst drink and. likely as not, he thought there was no harm in it. He nir-y have taken this drink Just, to be sociable with his companions. Teach them that the very best way to remain frnc from this habit is to keep away from "boon companions" and shun the places where liquor is being-consumed. Up to Individual. The law may place some restrictions on thetraniobut the best way Is for the boys and girls, the men and women wo-men toieslst the evil wherever and whenever It may be found. Resistance Resist-ance is by far the nobler and better way to overcome the evil. Let every man take an Interest In the welfare of the boys and girls encourage them In the ways or right and sober living. If possible provide for them tho necessary neces-sary amusements to offset the temptations tempta-tions or the Pool Room, tho liar, etc. It is a good thing to live In a town like Logan where so little corruption exists and where we have so many public spirited men anxious at all times to help the young people along the ways of life. The Great Question. It may afford some Interest to talk about the law and what the law can do, but this Is not the Issue at the present time- It Is what the liquor is doing to blight the homes and stupify the souls of man and woman. That Is the question for the peoplo or Logan and the country to consider, not that wc have such a distressing or alarming alarm-ing condition here, but because of tho fatal results that may accrue from the Indulgence In this evil. |
