the young people in our universities colleges high schools and public schools have been writing on examinations with a view to attaining steps higher and higher in the scale of education which is to fit them for their respective activities of life youth desires much it dreams of fortune success glory power longs and struggles for them in these preliminary undertak- ings vet more than for all those things youth longs to get out of itself and perhaps that longing ia at the base of all the others when we begin to open our eyes wo see all round us a world of shadows creatures fashioned like us in the outer gesture and carriage of living yet whose inner ex istence we can never touch that longing is the foundation of society and friendship for with age wo learn to accept facts and to make the best of them we must live and die alone we cannot touch the souls of others we must take love and friendship and life for what they are which is much and not ask for what they are not in time we come to find that we can be- surprisingly busy for others even if they are only phantoms and shadows in the rush and press of living for thosejsouls which aro hidden our souls cease to be so obtrusivelymani feat and in the end if we think about the matter at all we see that the true way to get out of our selves is to forget ourselves altogether but in these later years let us try not to lose sight of what we were in the earlier let us understand the eternal quest of youth and sympathize with it and forgive it n treat it with impatience or contempt rn fofafter all youths passionate desire and effort to get out pf itself are the most ennobling things in life the bootleggers trail of death in certain aretes for some time past it has been the fashion to treat f the matter of the boohegger with goodnatured tolerance if not with an actual connivance a the nefarious traffic in wiicfj he was engaged jf h time has gone tje list o lives wiped out during thepasf week should gjye the deptiblow to the bootlegger and his business and arouse every cftizen wjo respects igw mi order and feels his responsibility to safeguard the lives of his fellowmen to aid the government in its effort to end forever the traffic in this poison in the face of the facts that have been produced during the past wedfor so the bootlegger is at last seen in his true colors as a menace not only to the stability of society but to human life as well there is death in the pot it must go globe for- more than fifty years the bootlegger has been plying nefarious trade under all systems of license and prohibition his lust for gain and easy living has stunted all his moral fibre and through all the years under all governmemnts he- haseontinued his jiellish business the revelations of tfte pat wegfc twitji the clire results following is no evidence of ajny change in the character of this outlaw through all the years he has sold his prodjucf for jjgin frreupmtive of the connequenaes t his pur blind customers homes jiave been broken up chil- dri have been starved lives have ibeen shattered physically and morally and these results have been of no concern to the bootlegger the results all along have been just as harrowing as the results reported the past week only they- have been more prolonged usually and wider in their influence the bootlegger is no new product his character is no blacker than it was fifty years ago the trouble is as the 5iobe has stated it has been the fashion to treat the matter of the bootlegger with good- natured tolerance the penalties of the law have never been of sufficient severity to deter the species from a return to their inhuman exploits after the fines imposed have been paid or the brief sentences adjudged have been fulfilled if a fiveyear sentence in penitentiary without the option of a fine or the allowing of clemency through the influence of sorne friendly politician were imposed as punishment for n fltet offence the bootlegging business would soon b 3 annihilated is the ontario temperance act a failure we happened to interrupt a discussion on the o ta the other day it was contended on the one side that you temperance cranks dont know what is going on outside your town among the young people the amount of drinking on the sly by the young men would open your eyes it is an old and favorite saying but indefinite argument there is an old saying that what you dont know wont hurt you there are a few facts nowever in connection with temperance reform and temperance legislation that are outstanding and definite and here are some of them you no longer dread the open barroom and its attraction to your son you no longer hear your son your husband and father staggering and cursing as he comes into his home late at night you no longer heir of the drunkards home with all its miseries and its neglected family you no longer hear of drunken brawls on the public streets shouting and cursing and fighting yo no longer see the drunk man staggering along the street frightening the children and mak ing the air hideous with his vile and filthy language you no longer hear of the abused wife and fam ily by the drunken husband and father you ho longer see the ragged pinched faces and barefooted children of the drunken father as they pass along the street moreover the barroom is no longer manufactur ing drunkards out of your sons these are only a very few outstanding accom plishments in the way of temperance reform wheth er the ota is a success or not depends upon your point of view and those who pronounce it a failure wish it to be a failure- because they desire a return to old conditions with its accompanying debauchery misery crime and poverty winchester press the cutting of fall wheat has com menced in
