We Have To Recognise, That The Gin-palace, Like Many Other Evils, Although As Poisonous, Is Still A Natural Outgrowth Of Our Social Conditions. The Tap-room In Many Cases Is The Poor Man's Only Parlour. Many A Man Takes To Beer, Not From The Love Of Beer, But From A Natural Craving For The Light, Warmth, Company, And Comfort Which Is Thrown In Along With The Beer, And Which He Cannot Get Excepting By Buying Beer. Reformers Will Never Get Rid Of The Drink Shop Until They Can Outbid It In The Subsidiary Attractions Which It Offers To Its Customers.
