Some sensational facts concerning
the prevalence of absinthe drinking in
the Swiss army have lately been
published by DR.. Chatelain, a military
doctor on active service. He states
that out of the 100000 men who have
passed under his care within the last
four years, $4,000 men were suffering
from the effects of absinthe in a
greater or less degree. Official statis-
ties, he adds, also show that u per
cent. of the male population over 20
years of age of the Is largest towns
in Switzerland are every year vic

ing to an alarming extent. Dr. Chate-
lain advocates the passing of bill
for the control of the sale of absinthe.

was taken for the relief and cure Of
constipation. This only emphasizes the
fact that one cannot be too careful about
what they take, and if all drugs and
medicines were put up in original pack
ages and marked, there would be fewer
deaths from poison. How often does it
occur that some one comes in and asks
for some good laxative or cathartic, or
something for the bowels and the
dealer, anxious to please his customer,
fixes up something of his own, and this
causes most of the mistakes which oc-

VS.. COMMERCIALISM

For The Representative.
Cicero laid down the following:
The individual should own that
which he is required to use; and the
state that which all the people use"
At the same time there was later
maxim common in all mouths:
Merchants and thieves worship the
same god"
1t is strange that anything so mani
festly true as the first precept should
not have been believed in and adopted
long before this; for it is the very
essence of applied Christianity and diff
fers from "the golden rule in this, that
whereas, the first is an abstract propo-
sition of right, the latter is enjoined as
an ethic garnished with sentiment sug-
gestive of love and good will A social
ism running all through the teachings
of Jesus.
The Latin maxim above is an embodi-
ment of the true spirit of the CONNER
cialism of today, as we'll as in Cicero's
time. The distinction of thieves from
merchants was as we'll marked then as
now; but their habits and practices were
so near alike, that no god of that day
but Mercury, the god of thieves, could
approve them and receive their worship.
In Cicero's day, gamblers and bankers
were classed among the merchants, and
they belonged there, and do now, as
devotees of Mercury.
Gamblers are not now much more re-

these, and many others who might be men

continue in their crime without fear of pun-
ishment
1t is popular to assail the employer of Ia
Dor because of seemingly unjust conditions
surrounding those who toll. But he is as
much victim of the system as the man

THE FATHER OF EVIL.
In few words, then, it is society, and
the inhuman industrial system upheld by it,
which is responsible for crime and crifni-
mails. The incentive to make money, or
rather to get money, impels men and women
to destroy their fellows This incentive is
the father of the evils of which society so
bitterely complains. Desire for the spoils
before referred to- Desire for gain leads to
all the crimes of the calendar, from the cor
ruption of legislature to the petty thefts
of the sneak thief. The competitive sys-
tenn of industry cannot be defended by any
code of morals or ethics. Here are some
of the counts in the indictment against it:
1t arrays every man against his fellow
in the scheme of life.
1t puts premium on dishonesty and dis
counts the truth.
1t has raised false standards of measure
ment Industrial, moral worth has been
subordinated to wealth.
1t has corrupted the courts and legislative
councils. By this we do not mean to say
that bribes are offered or accepted. But
we do mean to say that the influence of
commercial interests are given more weight
than are the interests of humanity whenever
those interests clash.
It robs men of their manhood and our
women of their virtue.
1t takes from labor the fruitage of honest
toll The producer receives but traction
of his product The balance is expended m
wasted energy and in profits to the non-pro-
ducer "Muzzle not the OK that treadeth
out the corn were the words of the great
Commoner.
1t dwarfs the intellect, and will destroy
the state.
Need we furnish the specifications to sus-
tain this indictment. Not if the reader will
apply the light of reason to what he has
read.
We have reached the parting of the ways
in our industrial life. The competitive road
surely leads on to anarchy and blood. The
cooperative highway just as surely leads
to universal brotherhood, plenty for all, and
no man in want. By the adoption of this
plan no one would be injured, while mil
lions would be blessed.
Socialism is the only scientific solution
for the labor, temperance, criminal, imrni-
grafton and social problems. And it would
solve all these by removing the incentive,
without which all these evils would cease
to exist Will the people ever stop in their
mad race for dollars long enough to con-
slider the welfare of the nations yet UNI
born? Are those who are on earth today
to be permitted to steal the God-given heri-
taee of His children, and deprive those who
are to follow after us of the right and the
opportunity to live?

the associations organized for the purpose
Of making conditions better for the crimi-
nal outcasts from society than are those en-
ioyed by the honest laborers in their own
neighborhoods. These associations are usu-
ally composed of that element in every COM
munity which is so deeply interested in the
welfare of humanity as to warrant them in
lavish expenditure of time, money and ef-
fort to further their avowed object to re-
form the criminal classes. The annual con-
ventions of the Association for Prison Re-

every quarter of the nation, and commen-
dable zeal is displayed by all in attendance
Id the passage of earnest resolutions favor
ing better quarters and better treatment for
Saen and women who have been so unfor-
tunate as to violate the laws of man and
transgress the rules of polite society. 1t is
not the object of this article to criticise the
actions of these good people, but rather to
commend them for their zeal; and at the
same time to call their attention to the fact
that an expenditure of one-half the time,
money or energy in another direction would
be productive of vastly more good to those
in whom they profess to be so greatly inter-
csted.
'VICTIMS OF SURROUNDINGS.
There are three classes of criminals to be
found in every community. One Of these,
and large class it is, is made up of those
men and women, who, through no fault of
their own, have been born to crime. They
are the unconscious and helpless victims of
generations of vicious surroundings. Liv-
ing from birth in an environment of vice
and crime, with little or no encouragement
to break away from their surroundings, they
grow into a belief that the only wrong in
theft is in being caught at it, and, from pet
ty stealing when little more than babes, to
burglary when full grown, step by step they
become the confirmed criminals as we find
them in the felon's cell of the penitentiary.
These are the people who commit such
crimes as highway robbery, petty and grand
larceny, burglary, and other forms of theft
The incentive is always money. Sometimes
these will add the crime of murder to their
offences; but this rarely accurs except as a
means to cover up their tracks, or to divert
suspicion to other channels, and thus render
escape somewhat easier. To such as these
the sunshine of life has been an unknown
quantity. Their only knowledge of the
world is one which tells them of the bless
ings which come only to those who are
possessed of the money with which to pur-
chase them, and their only aim in life is
to reap what others have sown, live as cas-
lily as they can without hard work, and es-
cape, if possible the sleuths of the law, who
have been trained by society to hunt down
and ferret out the vio1ators of the criminal

who works hard, and endeavors to be an
