TEMPERANCE.
Any newspaper Editor will
tell you that he is at times at a
loss for material for a leaner for
bis forthcoming issue, and wo
f mutt plead guilty in this instance
< for tha thoughts and ideas ihut
we may advance in our editorial
under the above head these ideas
nay not strike our readers as
either ortbodox, or as warranted
by real facts. Sncli as 4hey are
however, we give them to you
as expressive of ou?*own opinion.
. Accept them or reject tliem.
We have in this State a Tem
perance Law and Order League.
This league was organized, if
we have been properly informed,
for the purpose of reduci tig by cer
tain methods, the sale of spirit
uous liquors in the State. This
natura'ly is, or should be lite pri
tnunj oltject only. What is tem
perance? Is it absolute prohibi.
tion of the indulgence in any
habit thatwmi/ result in injury to
society, ol- to the individual him
self or herself ? No. We are
told through the medium of the
best dictionaries that the true
meaning of the word "Temper
ance" is moderation.
Actual temperance then con
sists of a United indulgence by
a man in a drink ? of spiritous
liquors if his appetite requires
it. The eating of such quantity
of food as uature demands. The
indulgence of such degree of
other animal instincts as have
beeu implanted in ins bead aud
heart as may be commensurate
with the co-equal duty he owes
to society. The restraint from
immoderate use of language
that would not be considered
us fitlur the ears of clergyman
or layman. To sum up, tem
perance must be interpreted as
moderation in all things.
The above remarks are intend
ed/or vieii only. ? As to the fem
inine side of the ouestion, they
understand already fairly well
what constitutes '?Temperance."
A few words along the line that
may not have occurred to a ma
jority of the feminine gender
however may not be out of plucc.
The following remarks are,
as we have previously stated,
merely our thoughts and im
pressions, but following the or
iginal line we will say that when
we see a woman whom we con
sider over-drossed, we want to
know whose money paid for the
extra finery. We are curious to
know if the husband, father or
other family provider has not
put otT some other creditor mero
ly to allow his women-folk the
pleusure of swelling it with the
swehest. is this Temperance?
Is it even moderation even in a
most moderate form? We think
not. We have seen in our own
limited experience, women, who
because they had not a hat of
the latest )>attcrn, refuses to go
to church although they were
presumably good church mem
bers. This is one form of intem
perance. Another is that in
which the woman goes from
liouae to house, retailing as a
sweet morse), some choice piece
of gossip that affects the char
acter of this or that person.
This is io our unuds, the worst,
form of intemperance. This ed
itorial has already grown too
long, so we close with the re
quest for sober, earnest t'.iought
upon it by every reader whose
eyes may rest ujion it.
