But where shall we place the re- sponsibility? Listen to the dying voice of Trus- key, who was hanged at Windsor last week: “Drink has brought me to the gallows,” he said, “ask the people to take a lesson from my awful fate.” But his message will fall on deaf ears. Drunkards will say it comes to late, moderate drink- ers will say they can drink and let it alone; moderate thinkers will say, “There is no use in being fanatical, there are other sins than drinking;” the selfish man will say, “It will let you alone if you will it alone. The politician will say, “you must not hurt the party.” The comfortable man will sit before his fireplace in his dressing gown and say, “it is too dreadful for anything, but I guess my boys are all right.” The brewer will say, “it’s too bad, but there's money in it” The saloon keeper will say, “how else could I make a living?” The business man will say, “if I make a fuss about it, I will lose customers.” The cautious preacher will say, “it would be un christian to hurt the feelings of the big subscribers.” The lawyer will say, “to stop drink would kill our profession because it would so re- duce litigation and crime” The provincial treasurer will say, “And nearly $800,000 of license fees.” The finance minister will say, “and $7,000,000 of reyenue.” ‘The complacent Christian says, ‘O, Lord, remove the curse, be a hus- band to the widow, and a father to the fatherless, and when I am} lis, pays its fine and continues at the | jold stand with a brisker will have to appear “hs me. ..
