"fhe petition that is to be presented tQ Congress in this "off-year" in politics reads thus: "We, your petitioners, beg to present the following facts: The researches of scientific men have proved that inebriety is a disease, that the appetite is cumula­ tive, growing by what it feeds on. For these reasons, combined with the incite­ ment of hereditary appetite and the pow­ erful temptation of the saloons, numbers of men in every community become the slaves of alcohol. As a result of this their lives are endangered and their char­ acters steadily deteriorate, while their homes become less pure, happy and safe, society is on a low plane and the state suffers the loss of those who might .have been useful citizens. For these and many other reasons we appeal to you to frame , a law whereby men who are proved habit­ ual inebriates Bh all be assigned by the courts to industrial homes of detention for a period ot from one to two years, or less,.according to couduet. We urge this political temperance measure in the in­ terest of the inebriate j as well as of those who are incalculably injured by his hab­ its, for long experience has convinced us that under existing conditions reforma­ tion is well nigh impossible, unless by some means sufficient time is afforded to cleanse .the system; The W. C; T. U; will - do all in its power to help those who are under the drink bondage. But we beg you to furnish the added guarantees and safeguards of the law," X HAVE Coal Shorts, Oil Meal, Oats, Ground Feed. A. Stageln's SALOON AND MMWH -- M . I . H • » ! , !
