WHAT IS RUNNING FRANCE.
hOlic LIquors-But the Wine
Has Paved the Way.

In letter to the Christian Register
from Paris, Hon. Samuel j. Barrows
gives highly interesting resume of the
proceedings of the international Tenn
perance congress recently held in that
city. Referring to the statement of a
French writer that it is 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. If the fathers drink
vine, the sons are drinking something
worse. The transition from drinks
containing a small percentage of alco-
hol to those containing it in larger and
more dangerous quantities is easily
made; and the multiplication of liquors
of all sorts in France, badly adulterated
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 ont that,
though immoderate drinking in France
does not date from yesterday and is an
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, ex-
uberant and inoffensive. Now il is
brutal and aggressive. One sad mother.
speaking to DR.. Motet, who has made
profound study of alcoholism, said;
when my husband became drunk, be
was simply wearisome, never danger
GUS. When my son drinks, he becomes
crazy, and / am afraid of him. And
this difference NJ. Grimm attributes,
not to the consumption of wine or even
of pure alcohol, but TO the absorption OF
alcohol charged with toxic substances.
Legislators and others in France have
given much attention to this subject Of
adulteration, but without success. The
majority of the members of the con-
gress being French, much attention war
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 to 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 profes-
sor of finance in the Law Faculty of
Paris. proposes to establish monopoly
of alcohol by the state; and it is pro-
posed TO monopolize not only the sale
of alcohol, but also its 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
it might reduce some of its pernicious
effects"

THE ROAD MOVEMENT.
There Are Several Agencies at Work
which May Make IL "A Great
Political Issue.

Readers who see mentions of the
good roads movement" do not realize
that in this there may be one of the
great national issues of our politics at
some time in the future, possibly with
in a comparatively short time. This
movement was started by the wheel
men through theis national organiza-
ton, the League of American Wheel
men, and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been spent by it in the agita-
ton.
The principle of the movement, as
advocated by the wheelmen, is that the
common roads of the country are as i'm
portant as the railway systems, the
statement being made by them, and be-
ing easily understood, that there is not
an ounce of any commodity hauled over
the railroads that is not first transport
ed by wagons over country roads or
city streets. II does not matter il the
commodity is manufactured articles
