Excerpt from Intemperance and CrimeI AM invited to speak to-night of the relations of intemperance to crime. The theme is a hack neyed one, as old as alcohol, and one can not consider it without a sort of anger at the selfish ness of the men of past generations, who have said all our good things before we were born. Little is left to us but to array their testimonies and confirm them by our own experiences.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
