Tsmpssancs 10 Advancing.

THE Delaware American, Media, Penn.
True temperance is advancing rapidly
In this country. Drunkenness Is growing
less, year by year, and the stronger
liquors are being suppianted by the lighter
ones. The Bure .u OF Statistics Of the
Treasury Department at Washington has
made an interesting ret ort on the produe-
lions and consumption Of wines and spirit
uous and malt liquors In the United
States and the leading countries Of Eu-
rope. 1t shows a decrease for this country
Of more than 10 per cent. per capita in
the consumption Of distilled spirits since
per cent. in the consumption Of wines and
an increase u 100 per cent. In the con-
sumption Of malt liquors. IL Is probable
that the decrease in the consumption Of
spirituous liquors per capita is much
greater than Ia here indicated, a. large
quantities were distilled and consumed at
home fifty years ago Of which no returns
| were made to the authorities.
when compared with the leading Ma
tons OF Europe the United States Offers
40 encouragement to those who believe
liquor drinking an evil and desire to SEE
il diminished. In 1910 the consumption
Of distilled spirits per capita In this coun
try was 2.52 gallons, while in 1887 it wa
only X gallons, IA compared with IA con
sumption In Great Britain Of OBS Of a gal
lon per capita, LOO GALLONS In German!
and Of ] - gallons in France in 1885. Ii
| wines the nited States showed, In 1889,
consumption Of 0.5l Of gallon, Grea
Britain OBS OF II gallon and France 26.7
gallons In 1896. But il IL in the consumI
ton Of malt liquors that the United State
falls far behind the great European ma
tions. The malt liquor drank per capt.
In this country 10 1887 was II 9G gallons
as compared with Bass gallons in Grea
Britain and "a 90 gallons in Germany.
Those who believe in looking at tn
Temperance question in practical ligi
and Of taking human nature into aceout
In c0Aling with 1t will find much to CT
courage them in these statistics. The
prove that the Use of ardent spirits ha
fallen of in "a remarkable degree until mo-

President Harrison's visit to New Eng
land Is not merely for the rest, change
and recreation he needs, but Ia admirably
calculated to aid him in the discharge OF
contact with the best elements Of New
England politics and society, and by max
Ing him familiar with New England in-
terests. Tomorrow, for instance, he is
to visit Bath and observe its fitness for
naval station. He will find there plenty
OF arguments for favoring this entirely
practical project, which has merit of the
most genuine sort.
Before the President return, he will
have met In the most agreeable and in
formal manner the leading representa-
tives OF New England, and will have
learned much that he would not other
wise have come to know so we'll. 1t is u
pecu,iarity of his nature that he is inces-
SAINT aud earnest in his efforts to master
all the attainsble facts in regard both to
applicants for Office and political policies.
He may be misled In some cases by the
statements Of advisers In whom he
thought he had right to trust, but even
his enemies, II they know him, will testi-
fy that we are entirely justified in attrib-
uting to him this conscientious and high
Iy honorable aud useful trait.
Our New England contemporaries, of
all sorts Of politics, reflect the popular
sentiment Of that very important part Of
the Union In favor Of the President, as he
has shown himself In the present tour.
