The Evil Custom Of Treating.

When Rudolph Brand, the great
Chicago brewer, who is an ex-presi-
dent of the United States Brewers
association, told the delegates to the
brewers convention, at their smoker
that the greatest evil 10 the Ameri-
can saloon today is the habit OF
treating, his remark was greeted
with cheers.
The custom is unknown in Europe.
There the acceptance OF a gratuity
is associated with the notion Of
social inferiority on the part of the
recipient. Should not the Ameri-
can-stickler as he is for equality
and ipdependence-have too much
dignity to let another man pay for
his drinks?
AS Brewer Brand declare, wher
man pays for his own drinks, he
gets no more than he wants. Wher
he goes into saloon and encount
ers treating crowd he is confront
ed with danger. Their is a COM
petition in hospitality. When one
has bought, others must have their
chance to buy, and there are those
who take offence at refusal to &C
cept. Drink follows drink and the
result is drunkenness.
The abandonment of the custom o
treating would do far more than the
enactment of prohibition for the
abolition of drunkenness in America
