AicohoIs BanefuI Power.
DIR. PetersOn's address, in part,
follows:
Insanity and epilepsy are among
the diseases that faint our progeny.
Alcohol is the chief poison that has
this baneful power.
In the state of New York there are
now 10000 insane in the public and
private hospitals, and it is estimated
that 90 per cent. of these, or 5000 pa
tients, owe their insanity to alcohol.
In all the asylumS of the United
States are 900 insane, and assum-
ing the same percentage there are go
900 individuals in this country in
whom alcohol has brought about in
sanity. DR.. Macdonald calculates that
one insane person is an approximate
loss to the state of S400 per year.
Hence the actual loss in money to the
state OF New York through alcoholic
insanity is $2,400,000 and to the Unit
ed States $4,000. 900 every year
''AlcOhOlIis often a direct cause of
epilepsy, but more often epilepsy is
due to alcoholism in parents. Thus

value, whether it should ever be used
as a stimulant In sickness, whether
moderate drinking is always harmful,
but the medical profession is at one
in its stand against the abuse of alco-
hol, which leads to the wrecking of
the home and race degeneracy.
They all agree that alcohol is a

gress to ask if there is no redress for
the individuals and communities who
are the victims of the pernicious ac-
tivity of government agents. The case
dismissed in New York was tried first
in Florida and with the same result
and commenting on it the Jacksonville
Times Union says:
Citizens are forced to defend them
selves at great cost against charges
made by the government which prove
on examination to be baseleSS if not
worse. What redress has the citizen

ment which can so injure the individu-
al without mourning penalty? Shall
it be urged that the officials were
ignorant? They represent the govern
ment. The justices of the appellate
court in reviewing an application for
rehearing of the Lands decision
signed by Attorney General Bonaparte
was obliged to remark on the ignor-
ance of the lawyers for the govern
ment- Judge Hough expressed the
same regret. Why not put a lawyer
at the head of the department of JUS
tice? Why not take off the official
head it now supports"
Many cases of southern peonage"
have been concocted in recent years,
but there have been very few convic-
tons, hence it is evident that the
south is the victim OF either, the
spleen of the department of justice or
its ignorance. The peonage fiasco has
been carried quite far enough and the
time has come for Attorney General
Bonaparte to favor the country with
an explanation of the remarkable fail

DR.. Frederick Peterson, of New
York city, whose authority on diseases
affecting the nervous system is wide
" recognized, has delivered an i'm
portant address at Elmira, n. Y, be-
fore the New York State Conference
of Charities and Correction on the
topics The influence of alcohol upon
the public health" says the Philadel-
phia Times.
DR.. Peterson, who is professor of
psychiatry at Columbia University,
said that the most important modern
campaign of education was to teach
the people in regard to the abuse OF
alcohol. His larger idea carried the
instruction beyond the well being OF
the individual and had TO do with the
development and improvement of the
race.
DR.. Peterson in his category Of the
users of alcohol made a distinction
which will sharpen some lay eyes
when he differentiated the moderate
drinker from the temperate drinker.
He also said things to cause the peO-
pie to sit up and take notice in speak
ing of the men, college professors or
others, who publicly advocate alcohol
as a food. OF these he said that his
hearers might be sure at is the voice
of some one perversely interested"
A Poisoned Food.
He went further, and said that they
might question whether such a man
was not simply seeking self-eXploita-
ton or might not even be subsidized
by the vast commercial interests at
stake"
For himself. DR.. Peterson SAID that
if alcohol was food it was poisoned

meat and alcohol there would be no

here today. We meet together to
raise a monument to a great Union
general, in the presence of many OF
the survivors of the Union army; and
the secretary of war, the man at the
head of the army. who. by virtue OF
his office, occupies a special relation
to the celebration, is himself a man

countries where such a conjunction
