New Workers Becoming Hysterical

lions, or to make comparisons be-
tween the present and the past. The
records of the alcoholic and psycopath-
ic wards of Bellevue hospital do not
show the facts Of inebriety even
among the classes of men and women
who would seek aid from this hos
pital. In 1904 there were S,941 admis-
sions to Bellevue for various forms of
alcoholism. The number now is great
ly less than that. In 1906 1t had fallen
to 1888. But even with this reduc-
ton the number of alcoholic patients
is more than % per cent. of all the
patients admitted to Bellevue. But
these records prove nothing in the
line we would follow. The number of
inebriates who seek treatment at
Bellevue has fallen off simply be-
cause an old offender who comes here
is now liable to be turned over to a
city magistrate, who will sentence
him to an asylum as chronic drunk
ard. This had the effect especially
Of keeping many women from taking
repeated advantage of treatment at
Bellevue.
What is the cure of the evil of in
creasing inebriety in New York?
Whatever will bring easement to the
restless life in the city will lessen
all forms of dissipation. The whole
subject needs careful and thorough
investigation to know what palliative
measures can be taken. Drinking is
only one symptom of what is wrong
with us.

to what they could see and eat and
drink.
81 suppose the growth of the drink
habit has been principally among the
women of the richer classes. 1t is
at least reasonable to believe so, as
they have the money and time to In
dulge in such laxity. Idleness is usu-
ally dangerous.
Another phase in the drink ques-
ton is the quality Of the liquor. DR..
Quackenbos points out the shameless
adulteration in whisky, but let me ask
why it Is tolerated? Where is our
pure food law? Why, it is In our
statute books, but it isn't in the
hearts or minds of those in author
ity or in the hearts or minds of the
people who put those men in author
ity. If it were, the law would be en-
forced.
1.-THE growing tendency Of the
American people is disrespect for
laws. We have plenty of good laws,
but they are not enforced. That is
the whole trouble. The men who
should enforce them do not do it, and
the people who elect those men to Of
fee do not make them do it, and they
keep on electing men who will not
do it.
Our mayor is sworn to be active In
the enforcement Of the laws, but is
he? He is not. Well, if the mayor
is inactive can you expect those un-
der him to be otherwise? He is the
man to whom the lesser officials look,
and if he sets such an example, what
is the result? Inactivity all along
this line and our laws become mere
printed matter.
eve also send incompetency to our
legislative bodies in Albany. We have
done so for years and probably will
keep on doing so. We know that we
are doing it and have little or no re-
spect for large majority of the men
we send there, so how can we have
respect for the laws they make? We
cannot have respect for those Jaws
and we have not"

THE New Workers are becoming a
hysterical people. They show an
increasing excitability, dimin-
ishment of self control. This demon
strates itself in all forms of excuses.
Less and less restraint is exercised.
The extreme tension of life here is
showing on the people. One sees
plenty of examples of this in individ-
ual life. A vast demonstration of 1t
among a mass of the people is OBJ
served In the increasing hysteria of
such celebrations as those of the
night before the New Year. What is
true of the city men is true of the
city women. The increase of drunk
enness is a distressing fact. 1t is
a natural outcome of the restlessness,
the overstriving, the unrestraint of
present day life in New York.
This subject is of tremendous i'm
portance. We should know just what
we are confronting, what the future
has in store for us, just where and
how we are threatened. One may
form an opinion as to an increasing
inebriety among women from such ex-
hibitions as those of New Years eve,
but beyond that it is not easy to go.
There are no official statistics bearing
on the question. The subject has had
no investigation of scientific, value.

The State Wins.

ST. Paul.-The state has again scored
victory in its fight for about ISL, GOO
acres of swamp land in the northern
part of the state. Gov. Johnson re-
ceived letter from James Rudolph
Garfield, secretary of the interior stat
ing that he has decided not to reopen
the decision of his predecessor in the
matter. The former decision affirmed
the title of the state in the lands, and
all that now remains is to select the
tracts coming under the grant.
This matter has been pending since
1903, when the state made a request
upon the interior department for pat
ents to the lands involved. The states
right to the land rests upon the swamp
land grant of 1860, and included large
tracts which few years later were
made part of the Indian reservations
of the Mississippi, Chippewas and the
White Earth Indians. They lie in
Itasca, Cass and Beltrami counties.

living near Louisville, Martin county,
is in local hospital recovering from
severe burns on his head, hands and
arms that he sustained in the burning
of his barn His statement is that in a
fit of anger or madness he set fire to
the hay in the barn and then ran out
through the fire, perhaps repenting
his rashness. He was saved, but the
structure and it's contents were con-
sumed.
He claims not to know what actua-
ted him in starting the fire, but says
that he "must have been crazy" AS
the barn and contents were the pro-
perty of his wife, he has paid her $420
for the damage that he did.

Freezing in Haystack.

hay in Fred Denzer's barn, near
Minnesota City, had been all used,
necessitating him and his son to
make trip to the haystacks in the
meadow a mile and half away, Mi

to death. When Denzer arrived at

been dug into 1t and there, partly
covered, was the unfortunate man
almost dead. He is a Bohemian, and
has been in this country short time.
He had been a charge on Wabasha

when he crawled into the haystack to

bends on Stomach.

l.. T. Cooper's theory regarding the human stomach is rapidly becoming a topic of universal discussion. Cooper claims that the human stomach has become chemically deranged by mod ern conditions, and that sickness gen. erally is the result.
 In a regent interview, while intro ducing his medicine in a leading city, Mir. Cooper said: "There is just one way, in my opinion, to maintain gen. eral health, and that is by building up the digestive organs. The vast ma .jority of Americans today have weak, flabby. distended stomachs. This has been caused by many generations of overlooking and lack of exercise, until today the entire. civilized race is af- fected. This is the true cause of most of the i'll health of today. Little can be done to relieve it until the stomach is once more brought back to normal conditions.

 The foregoing law is self-explanatory It makes it absolutely binding on the Graphic to stop every sub scrpon to the Graphic that is past due nine months and every daily subscriber that is past due three months less renewed within reasonable tme The regulations went into effect January 1908 but owing to the fact that previous notice had been given publishers we have been granted reasonable time to notify all such subscribers and give them chance to renew before stopping their paper
