Intemperance as a Cause of Crime

By Noah Davis

The relation of intemperance to crime is that of the inciting cause. There are other causes, such as hate, avarice, jealousy, lust, and revenge; but these are narrower in their circles of evil; more easily repressed by individuals and society; more subject to moral restraints, and are not sanctioned by law nor dealt out under statutory licenses.—Judge Noah Davis.
