Philadelphia Record. STOP THE TRAFFIC. For quite a while I have seen articles in various regard to the liquor of this and other sections of the State, and you will be so kind as to allow me a few lines in your paper I will state just a my experiences regard to this great question. First it has the great pleas ore of the writer to spend a few mouths in a section of the State where the manufacture and sale of liquor is prohibited there what do we limit I will answer, we find in the small villages lady keepers, lady postmasters, lady railroad In fact the small towns are run by the ladies. The do the farm work. They are not needed at the store, post- office or depot, why Because everybody is sober every that is human prefers dealing with a lady to a man. Therefore the ladies can attend, to the indoor work the the hard and labor- the kind the lady cannot do, thereby bringing prosperity to a home that might be of and need. I want to nay right here that I am not in the dispensary law, as that is only taking the liberty of our free people away from them and places it in the hands government, which is still worse, but I do want to ask my liquor friends if they not think it would be best to have none at all. may ask you to tell me where I can a small village where liquor is sold, with a lady merchant, a a lady telegraph operator railroad agent I believe there is one, why Because the language they would hear, the actions they would see, would dis- gust a mule, and they stay at home with all doors locked windows fastened down to protect themselves from the disgrace of those upon the outside. Mr. Editor I was passing through your town a kw days ago and I saw something that touched a ten tier spot me. I was standing near the passenger depot and saw a young man with Ins mother cross railroad, driving at a neck speed, so full that he could hardly sit in the buggy. I expected to him fall out before he cross- ed both tracks, but luckily he not. Now what a picture Au old gray haired home by a drunken son. can any imagine how this old lady felt t Too old feeble to guide the horse, with her own son and he too drunk to guide him, Oh how my sympathy went out her. A boy's best friend, and he so forgetful of her as to do act that be knew would her so much trouble. My liquor friends, some day son may be taking his mother home in the same condition. Do you want her taken home by a drunken sou t Then if you do not, lend a helping baud to those who are trying to get clear of this great evil. Some of your readers no doubt will say that I am a perhaps some of them will say that I am working for my benefit. To those I would like to say that am in one sense of the word a but no interest of my own is at am a young man, single expect will always but I have lots of young friends who I feel an interest in as a to them feel that it is my duty to work for their future welfare and their homes.
