HAVE NEW TEMPERANCE IDEA
Washington Men Would Promote
Drinking Of Light Liquors.

In connection with the proposed pro-
hibition crusade In several states, the
statement was made recently that sew
eral Washington men are about to en-
gage in novel temperance movement,
says the Washington Star. It is said
they propose to form In all sections OF
the country societies, the members Of
which will be pledged to drink only
light wines and beers, and to be mod
crate even in those indulgences. The
promoters Of this scheme claim that
the evil Of habitual drunkenness can
only be cured by the use OF lighter
beverages, and base their claim on Ger.
tain injunctions in the Bible, as well
as on scientific reasons.
The claim is made that scientists
have come to regard the moderate use
Of light wines and beers as beneficial
In cases of dipsomania. They point to
the hospital records for evidence that
the deaths as result of alcoholism
are in every instance caused by the ex-
eessive use Of the heavier liquors, such
as brandy, whisky rum and gin. They
also point to the infrequency Of deaths
from that cause in the beer and wine
countries of Europe.
II is said that the first Of these TEN.
perate" societies may be established in
Washington.

While In Washington recently DR..
Henry t. Bovey, dean of McGill uni

of discussion of the proposed opera
ton Of the Montreal gas works by the
municipality:
II am of course opposed TO any such
proposition. Any one who under
stands the engineering aspects OF such
n plan can readily see that to turn
over lighting undertaking to municl-
pal authorities would be equivalent TO
making ii Il tool of politicians who
would not operate for the good of any
one but themselves. In your own coun-
try the experience OF Philadelphia
should be enough TO make any city
hesitate on embarking In an enter
prise calling for large number Of
minor employees who would be nothing
but political appointees and chosen be-
cause of their allegiance TO the party
in power.
"From the standpoint of economy
any one can see. that II Is more costly
for city to operate Its lighting plant
than for individuals who have been
trained I'm their respective departments
for years and whose tenure OF office
doesn't depend on political exigencies." ="
