HOBSON DELIVERS STRONG ADDRESS ON TEMPERANCE __ _____ WMISKCV CREATE* ENEMY THAN ALL FOREIGN NATION* •■a T»*uu«« P«'«o'i Attendee tne C oae ef State Sunday ScNeel Convention. Before an audience of m >re than •it thousand people. Captain Richmond P Hohson. hero of the Merrimar and mpreo*mauve ;n congress from the Btate of Alabama, delivered his ad dress on ‘The 11 reel I Vest rover" at the Sunday tabernacle last evening bringing to a < loae the annual state Sunday school convention The pre dictor of war nlth Japan stated that the whiskey ring hoped to win at the prohibition elections by buying the press and buying votes. He stated that 2."0*1 American cltitens die every day from the use of alcoholic bever ages If a Titanic sinks every day and twice on Sunday, drowning the same number of people that the White Star liner did, it would not be destroy ing the number of people that file each week from the effects of drink, he said. Startling Statistics. In the history of the world, two mil lion. eight hundred thousand soldiers have been killed and wounded In war fare, he said, and this number is ex ceeded In the Cnitod States each >ear hv drink There are live million con firmed drunkards and twenty-three million people who use intoxicating liquors every day in this country. Some of the points Mr. Hobson brought ou; In his address follow; "Scientists, after wide investiga tion. have found that In only 1 per cent, of cates do accidents occur In maternity to mothers where parents are total abstainers, while 5 25 per cent, ocrur where the parents are reg ular temperate drinkers, and 7.32 per cent, where the parents are heavy drinkers. "The Army War College at Wash ington made an investigation of the destructiveness of war. Taking all the wars of the world, from the Rus so-Japanese War hack to 500 n. C.. the War College found that the total number of kil'ed and wounded in bat tle amounts to about 2.800.000. of which it is estimated that about 700, 000 were killed and something over 2.000.000 wounded. The comparative figures show the appalling fart that alcohol is killing off as many Americans every year as all the wars of the world have killed In battle in 2,3O0 years. Applied to the whole whi’c race. white men every year, five times as many as have been killed in war in 2.200 years: so that, stated mathemat ically. alcohol is ten thousand times more destructive than all wars com bined. Scientific Test*. "From conclusions drawn from sci entific tests referred to. it is conserva tive to estimate that the heavy drink ers and conOrmed drunkards in 'he Fni'ed States hHVe their productive efficiency lowered at least 75 per cent.: that the temperate, regular drinkers, who drink alcoholic bever ages every day of their lives, suffer r loss of productive efficiency of fully Ro per cent.; that the occasional drinkers suffer a loss of fully 10 per cent. ' But even this terrific economic los* is but small part of the ravages of this destroyer Aa seen alcohol attacks the line evolution more than any other line In the case of man the line of evolution is in moral advancement — what in any individual may he term ed character '' Therefore the loss of vharaeler must be far greater than the eeonomis loss We found the rronom’cs loss to he fully 21 per cent. If character rouid he measured by per ventage, we would have to estimate the loss In average character of the nation as fully 5o per rent Charge* Against Saloon*. "Ijui year on an average, each saloon *ti the I'nited State* wa« the cause of the death of three men. This year each saloon, on the average, will kill three men Kach saloon In the Fnited S'ates. on an averag ■, now has 2o men made heavydrltikcrs or drunk ard*. who are mortally wounded Kach saloon, on an average, has loo men mad* regular drinker*, who are seriously wounded Speaking for mv*e|f. | feel no bitter neas against those engaged in the liquor traffic.

HOUON. who delivered temperance addreis at the Tabernacle last night. have reached the shores of the laat ocean. In America the start of em- i ptre moving westward finishes the i Circle of the world. “The ravages, however, are not con fined to families of high degree. The bars of the saloons keep the poison in the presence of families of middle1 and lower degree. The whole popula tion of the cities is stricken. Those who have moved from the crtintry t.-> the city begin to degeneraie them- | selves, nnd their degnracy is visited upon the offspring. In a few genera tions the community is flooded with degenerates and abnormais. Thus far. whenever city life has come to pre- ' dominate, the nation has been doomed Resting upon degenerates, its institu tions have been blighted; and sooner or later in the struggle for survival, when struck by a foreign foe. it has fallen never to rise again. This is the sad history of Babylon. Nineveh. Tyre. Greece. Koine. Haul. Kome made the ' deepest imprint on history, because it was longest rurai and frugal: and while undegenerate it conquered the world, and upon the true principles of jurispiMd* nee and Justice reared a wonderful system of free institutions. Hut the Romans in turn gathered Into their great city to he hllghted. put up its crown at auction, and al last the empire was overthrown by the de splsed barbarians. Any form or plant life can l*e made to rise and develop indefinitely; likewise, any type of animal life, but history records the sad fact that a nation, made up of the noblest type of ail. the creature In i the imago of his M.ik-r, only rises to fall.” Pure S'lk Messalme Petticoats; Changeable and Plain Colors. *1 98 BON TON. i. e. church (Continued from First Far* ) for the vagaries of writers who meas tire all problems by their own door : yards, or to official!-, sanction the pro moters of disaffection While we , would not restrain dignified and legi ^tlm.ve discussion of proposed amend ments or reforms, we deprecate the ad mission of ill-considered and Intern perate criticisms of our policy or church asenrles."
