DRINK. mHE QAUSE AND QURSE. . ■■ —-— V . . . Mil. F. N. OHARIUNGTON, the devoted worker in Mile. -End, in an interview with a special, representative of the “Daily News” (London), in reply to the question, lb THE DESTITUTION GREAT JEST NOW?” replied : “Very great. It is always very great here. But it is . worse in Poplar, St. George’s and Limehouso thaji with us.. And yet some of the dock laborers earned £3 to £6 a ‘ week only a few months ago, and even then were almost starving by the week end. One man who boasted lie had earned £3 an the week had given his wife half-a-crown on which to keep house. It is drink, drink everywhere, that is at the * bottom of it all.” “WOULD NOT BETTER HOMES HELP THE PEOPLE TO GIVE UP THE DRINK?” “Give many of these people as good a. home as you like and they would reduce it to a- pigstye in a week. Give them boots for all tlieir chil.dren, and the boots would go. to, the pawnshop straight away. If the drink were stopped there would be so much money to spend that trade w'ould go ,up by leaps and bounds, and there would not be enough workers to do the work. Drink is the cause, drink is the curse!” WE CANNOT ALTOGETHER STOP THE • EVIL OF DRINK, BUT WE HAVE IT IN OUR POWER TO PREVENT A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF IT. TO CARRY NO-LICENSE MEANS TO PRACTICALLY KILL THE VICIOUS SYSTEM OF SHOUTING. IT MEANS THAT MANY A YOUNG MAN WILL GROW UP WITHOUT HAVING DRINK FORCED UPON HIM AT EVERY TURN.
