NEAR THE DEPOT, WEST McHENRY, DEALER IN ALL KINDS OF You Must Discriminate. _We have a class of men in our land who complain that temperance people do not discriminate as they should, between the low grogery and the respectable saloon. They say, "People will drink; therefore we must endeavor to haVe them drink as respectably as possibly." "Discriminate!" As though a bar­ room could be anything else but a bar­ room, whether kept within the brown stone walls of that grand hotel or the dingy walls of the corner groggery. As though brandy, whisky, beer and wine do not possess the same intoxicating properties and soul destroying elements whether dealt across the marble or the woo len shelf. " , ~S [ "Drink respectably!" As though the countleeSxhuman wrecks that are this moment reeling and cursi-jg in the Baloons did not take their first glass in a respectable way. I could name a host of the nation's lost stars from the realms of statesman­ ship, literature art and science, whose brilliant glory has set in theblackiiess-of a shameful degradation. Did these re­ ceive their first degree in the low drunk- ery?, -No! but in that charmed circle of society in which gentlemen move, and where the drinking of liquor is practiced in a most respectable manner. Away with the cloak of respectable seeming that wraps the social tippling customs of society. ^CWOOD.IW- Keeps open fox the RnortrmrHjat'.on of the.
