Drupkenness and the Law.

The Austrian Government 10 preparing
20 combat drunkenness by law. A bill "
being drawn infiicting severe penalties
upon dipsomaniacs.
In this country about thirty States have
general laws dealing with drunkards. The
Others leave TO local ordinance makers the
business of disposing of the victims OF too
much drink. As penalties for intoxication
there are provided fines ranging from fifty
cents, the minimum in some States, TO
500, the maximum in others. Imprison.
ment is an alternative punishment In
most States. but is the only one in Nfaino
and New Hampshire. The terms of the
convicted range in various Commonwealths
from a two days. minimum up to o Ave
years maximum. In Alabama the com
mon drupkard gets six months at hard ~
Dor. In Minnesota there are progressive
penalties for offcases after the first. Sew
eral States exact bonds for future sobriety.
1t is a fact proved by drink statistics
that America is becoming more temperate,
but the best authorities do not attribute
the improvement to the effects Of legal
penalties. Hard drinkers are no longer
countenanced by desirable society. This 10
yet is the increasing demand in many lines
OF business for men who are always sober
and reliable: Most railroad corporations,
for instance. insist on temperance in their
employees. As they have work for moro
than a million men. they exert q tremeA~
dors influence for abstinence.
Austria's new law will swell her records
of ofenses. II will not change mems
tastes and desires. The hest reformato9y
statutes are those framed by social and
business self-interest.-New York World.
