Excerpt from The Blue Ribbon: What Thomas Edward Murphy Has Done for the Promotion of Personal Temperance; With Some Account of the Work of His Father, Francis Murphy, and of His Brother, William J. Murphy
In this last little sentence of seven words a great historical fact has been compressed. The idea of traveling thousands of miles by railway, of recognition of the rights of laboring men, or of modern methods Of pedagogy, would have been no less strange to the people of the young queen's reign than the idea of voluntary total abstinence from all alcoholic beverages. The man who had then predicted the great influence of the modern temperance movement would have been counted by his neighbors a Visionary lunatic, as surely as if he had predicted that people across the water in America would travel a thousand miles from New York to Chicago in twenty hours.
