Liquor’s Innocent Victims

By Editor

THE following item from the Metropolitan Sun, of Austin, Texas, is a sad but forcible answer to the assertion so often made that liquor hurts only those who drink it:—

"On the 7th of August a drunken white man in Waco, shooting at another white man, killed little Rosa Roberts, a dear, bright girl of ten years, and daughter of our good brother, B. W. Roberts, presiding elder in the Central Texas Conference.

"What a calamity to the family, their dear daughter passing along the street, molesting no one, is suddenly shot down, and after four days of agony, dies."
