THE SPOKANE PRESS has a two-fold object In existence—to
print all the news all the time
to materially assist in the development of Spokane and the Inland
Empire. Its news columns will be uncolored, its politics the ad
vancement of Spokane, and Its price within the reach of all.
There ere no social connections more hollow or business con
nections more profitless than those formed over the liquor bottle.
The sentiments ant! feelings there engendered are not genuine.
They are not grounded in your true nature. They do not t .ueh your
real heart strings.
The coarse jest that you laugh at so boisterously and regard as
each rare wit, when drinking, seems shallow commonplace when you
are sober.
The good fellowship that warms your mind when maudlin appears
garish and empty enough the next morning. ■
This is the rule. There are exceptions. If these have come to be
the best associations you know, it is because you have narrowed
down your environments anil opportunities and contracted your
mind and heart and soul until there is room left in your life only
lor the worst that the world affords.
William Makepeace Thackeray was no teetotaler. Dut he wrote
this of drink-Inflamed intimacies:
"I think the intimacy which is begotten over the wine bottle is
. * spirit of this nature (has no heart). I never knew a good feeling
come of it or an honest friendship made by it; it only entices men
and ruins them; it is only a phantom of friendship and feeling called
up by the delirious blood and the wicked spells of the wine."
It is as true today as it was when written, more than 50 years
ago. Drinking is the same sort of thing today that it was in 1842,
when Thackeray thus moralized upon the life history of one of his
own schoolmates, who followed gambling and drinking to his suicidal
death, for he put a pistol to his head and blew out his brains when
he was penniless and starving, deserted by his wine bottle intimates.
Much the same story is told every day in every newspaper in the
world.
Such friendship is still the same phantom that flees when need
•omes, still the same gnilty counterfeit of the true thing.
