Cost of Drink Habit
What the Money So Spent Could
Accomplish for All the People.

s.The drink bill would pay for all
railroads in tie United States in
three and one-half years, pay for all
farms in the state OF Illinois in SIX
months, wipe out all our national
state, city, county and town debts IN
one year, pay for all farm animals
owned in the United States in ten
months, and would duplicate all bank
deposits in two years.
What are we getting for this enor-
nous expenditure? The saloon and
the drink habit furnish the hotbed OF
crime in our country, for IS per cent

Source of Most Crime
Drink Has Relation to Almost
All Mora al and Physical Evils.

1t is not hard to believe that drink
led to the tramp life and to the
tragic death
The dark and never-ending negro
problem in the South is greatly ag-
gravated by liquor. In the old days
of slavery the owner protected his
slaves from drink as matter of self
interest, Just as he would save horses
and cattle from using any poisoned
drink.
One great source of degradation
and crime among the negroes is free
dom to get and drink liquor. The
lynching horrors that so disgrace our
country are often caused and aggra-
waited by whisky.
The liquor saloon and its substitute
are everywhere, and always the cen,
ter of lawlessness. 1t seems impos
sible to devise any law that re.
strains in any way the traffic in intoX.
icating liquors and have it strictly
enforced.
The same difficulties that affect the
laws forbidding sales on Sunday or tc
minors or drunkards is found in com
plete prohibition.
In many places prohibitory laws
are more completely enforced than
the restrictive features of the best
regulated license system. 1t seems t.
be the nature of the beast to tram
pie upon all laws that interfere with
unlimited traffic.
The whole problem of crime ana
criminals, the questions of poverty
and insanity all have an intimate re
lation to the drink question. What
are we going to do about it?-Rev

Saving the Children

of the Danger In Whisky

1t is q l-estabiished fact that
in the usual order of events drunken
ness would he handed down from
father to son. and hundreds of thou
sands of families would be ultimately
wiped out by whisky.
1t is not true, fortunately, that the
son of drunkard actually inherits
drunkenness fully developed.
But a drunkard gives to his son
weakened nerves and a diminished
will power which tends to make him
a drunkard more easily than his faith
er was made drunkard before him
The great safeguard OF a drunkard's
children undoubtedly lies in the warn
ing which they see every day in
their home and in the earnest
advice which the man who drinks will
give to all young people, if he have
any conscience left.

DR.. Polemus II. Swift, pastor OF the
Wesley Methodist Episcopal church,
Chicago, speaking on The Cost OF
the Rum Traffic and the Returns
from 1t, said:
"The rum traffic is an enormous
business. The direct cost to the peo-
ple of the United States is the amount
of money spent for liquors. That Is,
for native distilled spirits $500,OOO,-
900, for domestic beer $475, 900, 200,
for domestic wines $60,0O0,00O, for
imported liquors of all kinds $40, o,O0o,-
900, total $1,O55, 100000. To this
enormous direct cost must be added
the larger indirect cost. That has
been estimated all the way from
81 ,OOO,00O,O00 to 81 $1,500,000,o0o.
IF we take the most conservative
the traffic is $4,000 100000 we yet
have sum that is all but unthtnk-
able. Il that were saved it would
give $4O0 per year to each OF 5.oo0,-
90 families. 1t would give to each of
10 100000 families four barrels OF
-four fifteen pairs of shoes, ten COM
plete suits of clothing. fifteen bushels

Before so large a distribution the
problem Of poverty would disappear
as the morning mist before the July
SUM- The cost of the rum traffic is
ten times as much as the churches OF
America have given for home and
| foreign missions from their organiza
| ton to this hour, twenty times as
| much as all salaries paid for public
school teachers in the United States
and ten times as much as is expended

Wiscon sin Supreme Court Hands
Down on Adverse Decision

The Supreme cour, Of New York
has decided that a member of Ia
Dor union must abide by it's decisions.
If ordered by the union to go out on
strike, he must obey or else forfeit
his membership. The case at bar was
that in which G. NJ. Wlnant sought to
compel the Manhattan Ship Joiners
association to reinsta1e him. Winant
came out when the union ordered
strike in the shipyard of j. n. Rob
bins, of Brooklyn, but returned to
work a week later. For this he was
expelled by the union. When the
Robbins yard was again unioniZed
Winant lost his lob as is usually the
case in such instances. He brought
suit to compel the union to reinstate
him, claiming that he could not OBJ
tain employment until it did so. The
court decided against him.
