kEHOE'S SPEECH
IN IT'S ENTIRELY
Full Report of the Splendid
Address Delivered to
Prohibitionists.

The longest part of the report of
Hon. j. W. Kehoe's address delivered
at Seville Square Tuesday night, was
somehow side-tracked in the The
Journals composing room yesterday
/ morning and as the report published
was very badly '.bulled," The Journal
herewith publishes the report that was
intended TO appear yesterday:
Hon. ]. w. Kehoe.
Hon. J. w. Kehoe, of this city, was
one of the speakers, and for nearly an
hour he held the close attention Of
the audience, being frequently inter
rupted by applause His talk was
mainly on the comparison of condi-
tions as they exist today in counties
where liquor is sold and counties
where liquor is prohibited. He spoke
in part, as follows:
"a few days ago received letter
signed by some of your prominent
women, asking me to participate in
this campaign and do what / could
toward helping them in the fight they
are making. Up to that time / had
not decided as with what degree of
activity / would enter into the cam
paign- but-I- decided then that the side
where the press, womsn, ministry and
good citizenship were arraigned was
the side for me, and so / stand before
you tonight to tell as best can of
some of the evils of the saloon.
Il am not a fanatic on the liquor
question. | hope the liquor men are
represented here tonight, for some Of
my best friends and clients are num-
bered among those who are interested
in the liquor business. However; L
think in a time like this that it is
the duty Of every honest man to forget
terest of some personal friend or rel
alive may be injured by the abolition
of the licensed saloon, and all should
do his or her part toward creating
PUBLIC sentiment against this curse.
In Escarnbia.
THE question at issue in Escam-
bia county is not whether you or l or
any one else can hereafter take a
| drink, but whether or not we shall al
low the open saloon to display its al
lurements before the young people of
our county. If there is a single man
in Pensacola who can say that the
sale of whiskey or the use of whis-
key has in any way benefited him, 1
would like 70 see that man. If the
barrooms do not benefit you, why
don't you close them up!
There are in every community
three classes of voters on the Prohi-
bition question. First there is the tee
totaler. He, of all the others. should
vote against the liquor business, be-
cause he has no use for 1t himself and
the sight of others abusing the right
imbibe In 1.-THE liquor
should make him all the more anxious
| to see the saloon abolished. Then
there is the man who occasionally
takes too much and gets on good
drunk. This man should vote for pro-
hibition, because he knows he is vot-
ing to protect himself against some
thing which he has not the power to
resist Then there is the man who
occasionally takes a drink, but never
| takes too much. He should vote the
dry ticket because of willingness to
help a brother who has not the will
! power with which he is indeed
blessed. r

DRINKING IN INDIA.
Use of Alcoholic Beverages Said to 81.
On the Increase.

In a recent issue of the London Tenn
perance Chronicle it is stated that
drinking in India is decidedly on the
increase, and that this increased con
sumption is largely due to greater in
diligence in intoxicants by the native
population. 1t is shown from recent
returns that the revenue from intOxi-
eating liquors consumed in India has
risen from e5.476,000 in 1908, to S.
$4,000 in 1906. OF the entire popula-
ton of 294 ,361 900, the European ele-
ment is estimated as 10000. and of
this number 10000 are soldiers of the
European army who must, in view of
climatic and other conditions, be con-
sidered of generally sober habits Ex-
empting $4,000 more as the wives and
daughters of soldiers and civilians who
may fairly be considered to use but
little alcohol, there remains in all
about 100000 Europeans, who are
chiefly engaged in conducting civic af-
fairs of the empire. and who are per-
sons of education, and little prone to
excess, which in that country involves
its own swift and complete retribution.
The Royal Army Temperance associa-
ton branch in India has a membership
of 29,300, or nearly three-sevenths of
the whole European army. The g.
100000 Mussulmans spread over the
land are, Of course, strict abstainers,
and contribute nothing to the drink
bill.
In view of these facts it is concluded
that it is the native population who
are most nearly concerned in the in
creased consumption Of alcohol In a
recent public address, Surgeon General
Evatt made notable reference to the
increased use of intoxicants among
native races, and pointed a warning
of the danger of allowing this traffic
to proceed further among a people so
markedly eXcitable as the native pop
ulation of India.
The subject thus raised has been
taken into consideration by the Native
Race committee, an organization which
has effected some extremely beneficial
measures in regard to Africa in this
respect. 1t is expected that the extern
sion Of the operations of this body to
the eastern empire will shortly take
place and effectually check the prog
ress Of an evil so damaging to the
best interests of the native race of
this part of the empire.

Vanished Animals.
learned

In tie latter part Of the mesozoic age
there was great inland ocean, spread
ing over a large part of the present con
tineut The lands then above water
were covered with a flora peculiar to
the times and were inhabited by some
of the animals which later distinguish
ed the cenOZOic age. In the seas were
reptiles, fishes and turtles of gigantic
proportions, armed for offense or de.
Tense. There We're also oysterlike bi-
valves, with enormous shells. three or
four feet in diameter, the meat of
which would have fed many people.
In time this great ocean, swarming
with vigorous life, disappeared. Noun
tain ranges and plains gradually arose,
casting forth the waters and leaving
the monsters to die and bleach in
tertiary suns. AS the waters remain
ing divided into smaller tracts they
gradually lost their saline stability.
The stronger monsters gorged on the
weaker tribes until they, too, stranded
on rising sand bars, lost vitality and
persisted as the waters freshened. In
Imagination we can picture the stron.
gest, bereft of their food supply, at last
floundering in the shallow pools until
all remaining mired or starved.

The seedy actor shufiled his feet and
looked into his hat alphabetically. He
laughed conscientiously at the joke
the manager made but it was a hollow
laugh.
In fact, Mr.. Perkins, otherwise
Claude Cremorne, juvenile lead, felt
hollow generally, particularly In the
part which should have contained his
dinner.
"a sovereign on account of my sal
airy would be of inestimable service to
me just now" he murmured to the
manager You can deduct it at the

Result of Temperance Wave.

The temperance wave which is pa
ing over western Europe has been tfrss
principal cause of the difficulties which
now beset the French growers. We
must go back to 1875 to find a crop
that equaled in abundance that of
1906. Wine, as a result, became so
cheap that the railways demanded
more for carrying a ton, say, from
Benziers or Perpignan to Bordeaux,
than it would sell for in the last
named town. To make matters worse,
the consumption has decreased in
most European countries. In France
itself, the greatest wine-drinking coun-
try in the world, the use Of mineral
waters has grown enormously within
the last few years. 1t is now freely
admitted that these beverages are Sc
rious competitors with homegrown
wines. Again, a large number of ar
tificial wines have recently been
placed upon the market and they have
hit the public taste, although they are
not nearly so wholesome or nutritious
as the genuine juice of the wine All
these things have combined to injure
the grower, and to bring distress upon
him in the midst of plenty
