WHAT is RUNNING FRANCE.
Claimed that 10 .. Not wIus not AIee-
hotic Liauors-Bat the Nise
Has Paved the way.

In letter 10 the Christian Register
from Paris, Hon. Samuel j. Barrows
gives highly interesting resume ~ the
proceedings Of the international Tenn
pcrance congress recently held in that
city. Referring 10 the statement of a
French writer that il j. not wine. but
alcoholic liquors that Is running France.
Mr.. Barrows SAYS: But the writer
! does not meet fairly the facts of the
present situation. u the fathers drink
wine, the sons are drinking something
worse. The transition from drinks
containing a small percentage of alco.
hol to those containing IL in larger and
more dangerous quantities is easily
made; and the multiplication ~ liquors
Of all sorts in France, badly adultcraicd
and highly charged With alcohol, has
been going on at a rapid and dangerous
rate. NJ. Thomas Grimm. in an article
in the Petit Journal. points out that.
though immodcratr drinking IN France
does not date from Yesterday and 10 IN
old habit. the kind of drunkenness OBJ
served to-day is not the same as former.
~, when wine consumed in the cities
was simply and naturally diluted with
water. Drunkenness was then gay, cN.
uberant and inoffensive. Now IL IL
brutal and aggressive. One sad mother.
speaking Ia DIR. Motet. who has made q
profound study of alcoholism. said:
When my husband became drunk. he
was simply wearisome. never danger.

not TO the consumption Of wine or even
OF pure alcohol, but To the absorption %
alcohol charged with toxic substances.
Legislators and others in France have
given much attention To this sub iect OF
adulteration. but without success. The
majority OF the members Of the con-
gress being French, much attention was
given TO what can be done to moderate
and reduce the evils Of intoxication in
France. The press almost unanimously
agrees that prohibition could not pos
sibly succeed here. Legislators are
seeking rather 10 reduce the number OF
saloons through some scheme Of high
license. In Belgium the number Of sa-
looms has been greatly reduced by this
means. NJ. Algaye, the eminent profess
sor Of finance in the Law Faculty OF
Paris, proposes To establish monopoIy
Of alcohol by the state; and II is pro-
posed to monopolize not only the safe
of alcohol, but also It's manufacture.
But this would mean the driving out OF
this industry OF a vast amount Of cap
ital; and there is no reason to suppose
that the manufacture by the state
would reduce the consumption, though
~ might reduce some Of its pernicious
effects"
