THE APPEAL TO LIBERTY. By O. F. A keel. DIJ IN KIN (I is mi interference witli the liberty of the nondrinker. The right to prohibit tho common sale of intoxicating liquors urows out ol tho injury which tlioso liquors do to tho people who do not Ml INK J"N G ISN CM tO A CHICS' UPON Till? NON-!)BINlvEll’S lUOHT TO SECURITY IN A COMMUNITY OF WHICH HE IS A MEMBER. It creates abundant disorder. Lt exposes bim to physical injury and danger. The non-drinking wife is .beaten and battered, and killed by the drinking husband. For a qua/ter ol a century slie is foully oppressed and foully tortured. At last sbe-is foullv slain. Whoso is the act of ty.randv? AVlio.se liberty is encroached upon ? _ The’ 11011-diiiiking husband suiters in mind, 'body, and estnto by the drinking of bis wile. His name is shamed; bis homo is blighted; his life is wrecked Whoso liberty is sinned against?' Tho child is sinned against from before its birth; sinned against as it grows no to manhood; iinured, often, for tho whole ol life. THE FIRST AND TRUEST-RIGHT OF EVERY HUAI AN BEING BORN ON TO THIS GOD’S EARTH IS THE RIGHT TO BE WELL BORN. That right is inalienable - and indestructible. A human being lias a ri<dit to be born with pure blood m bis vehis. He lias a right to be horn' with a sound mind in a sound body, with clear vision and strong brain. The father’s drinking tlic mother’s drinking, is a shameful and wicked encroachment upon tins right. And I claim the rights of the unborn ! „ -ii Pleasure and profit are gained by selling and by drinking beer it- us urged. Admitted; but in the process of gaining that pleasure and profit MISERY IS CREATED. WHICH THE NON-DRINKER IS TAXED TO SUPPORT. I protest against the injustice. I object to the imposition upon mo of burdens which others for .their pleasure and profit have created. In private charity, in public donations and subscriptions, and in a hundred other wavs, tile fruits of my labor are exploited to meet the cost of other people’s drinking. Whose liberty , is encroached upon? I .QEAIM THE RIGHT OF THE NON-DRINIvER. Drinking is an interference yvitli tin) right of the individual, in a community' which he helps to support, to free, unimpeded moral and intellectual development. The drinking of other people and the drink traffic which that drinking involves surround iliim yvitli temptations and moral pitfalls. OUR YOUNG MANHOOD, OUR YOUNG WOMANHOOD. HAVE RIGHT'S. YOU CANNOT SAFEGUARD THEM FROM EVERY TEMPTATION; BUT DRINKING NEEDLESSLY MULTIPLIES TEMPTATION. AVhose liberty is menaced and interfered yvitli hero ? There is still another aspect of tlie wrong done to tlie non-drinker to be taken into account. AVe are one body The life of the community connects tlie life of individual anil individual very closely. To debauch manhood, to degrade womanhood, to waste Abe material resources, and to poison the life-blood of a nation is to do an enormous injury to men and women in the nation yvlio have tried in everv wav to keep themselves free from all contact yvitli the cause of that mischief. OURS is tlie movement in favor of liberty. (Advt.) ' C.P.
