At the twenty-second anniversary of
the Railroad Y. NJ. &. a. of New York
city, Hon. Chauncey NJ Depew, prcsi-
dent of the New York Central railroad,
made speech in which he cOntrasted
the extent of drinking among railroad
men twenty-five years ago, and now.
He said: "Then there were about Ii, 900
men in the New York Central service.
Now there are over 10000. At that
period it is safe II say that 20 per cent
of the force were discharged for dunk
enness within II given period. The
saloon everywhere abounded; it was
the great force al all railway centers;
1t was the great force wherever there
were railroad shops. 1t surrounded
all our terminals, and its alurlr q
features were inviting all the force. 50
that know that at least 20 per cent OF
the force at that period were discharged
or dropped for drunkenness and that
means that their families were reduced
to absolute misery. Today we have
twice that number Of men IN the service
and not one per cent disappear from
drunkenness. 1t is the rarest thing in
the world that it is brought to my at
tention that any man in the service up.
on whom depends the lives of others or
the safety of trains Is disciplined for
that vice
The supreme court of Michigan a few
days ago rendered an important dccis-
ion as to the closing of saloons on Sun
day. Schottey, a saloonkeeper, was
convicted of keeping his place of
business open on Sunday at Grand
Rapids. He has living room back OF
the saloon. The testimony showed that
Schottey and three other men were seen
going into a hallway which opened up
on the street and also opened into the
saloon. The witness followed and saw
the door of the saloon open and the
bartender near the door. Schottey said
in response 70 query that the men
were there to inquire about friends. He
said that none of them entered the
saloon, but that he got some tobacco
from the saloon from one of them. He
also testified that the ban tender passed
through the saloon on that day. The
supreme court in a unanimous opinion
affirmed his conviction. stating that the
defendants testimony showed the saloon
was not closed on the day in question,
within the meaning of the law De-
PENDANT urged that his family had a
right TO 90 into the saloon and that the
bartender was member Of the family.
The court, however, says: The statute
means that saloons shall be kept closed
the first day If the week, and COM
pliance with Il means that all doors
and openings shall be kept closed,
whether in the front OF rear. 1t was
mmaterIal whether any liquors were
sold there that day or not. The object
of the statue was to cut of all subter-
fugeS or excuse tor the violation OF
the statutory inhibition and the keep.
els OF such places must keep them
open at their peril.
