A long, dramatic story is the history
of the fight against drunkenness. twas
old when the Bible was written. 1t was
an old and losing fight when, with hier-
oglyphs, chisel and stone, kings 'im-
mortalized" their victories, their names,
and their drunken celebrations.
Since men first learned to concentrate
alcohol, to burn their brains up quickly
and mistake the flame for happiness, the
discouraging fight has gone on. Mil
lions of women have fought against
drunkenness with their tears and their
prayers, and their children have still en-

THE BREWERS
IDEAS OF PROGRESS

The Brewers Journal gives an illus
tration of reckless misstatement of facts
which is seldom surpassed, if equaled,
even i'll liquor journals. In an attempt
to show that beer is displacing whisky
and that, therefore, the country is grow
ing wonderfully temperate, the Journal
says:
AS nation we have progressed
toward the goal of true temperance
during the last fifty years more steadily
than any other nation on earth. For
merly Americans were drinkers of wills
ky. About forty gallons per year used
to be the annual per capita dose in this
country. 1t is not quite one gallon now,
per capita and per year. During ~tfffe
same period the per capita annual con-
sumption of beer, the beverage of civil
zation, increased from almost nothing
to over twenty-five gallons
One does not have to go far for the
facts with which to refute these reck-

other. The opening discussion is from
the pen of Mr.. Arthur Brisbane, chief
editorial writer of the Hearst papers,
and a man of such breadth of view that
he has exhibited his ability to write in
condemnation of drunkenness and praise
of beer drinking, in almost the same
paragraph.
Mr. Brisbane opens his article with
some exceedingly pungent paragraphs
which already have caused a marked
wriggling among some of the liquor
editors. He says:
Good men and good women have long
been fighting alcohol in all forms and
in all kinds of doses, thinking alcohol
and drunkenness the same, and believ-
ing that both must be destroyed to-
gether It has been a long fight-at
first fight of individuals, of religions,
of societies, of political party, pitiful

heavily than upon any other of mans
necessities, pleasures or vices The tax
hat would have been refused on bread
even at risk of lfe-has been paid on
drink willingly.
The tax on drink builds hospitals in
which drunkards die, and prisons in
which they rust. 1t builds public schools
and, more than any other tax, helps to
support government.
.Jails have been filled by drunkenness,
gallows have been built to punish the
crimes born of drunkenness. Poor
houses are drunkards' homes, and every
other grave in the potter's field might
appropriately have bottle for head
stone.
Mr. Brisbane, however, is not so for
tunate in keeping close to the facts when
he undertakes to present what he calls
the anti Prohibition Side" Here he
says, in part:

a nation OF water drinkers? Not one.
The Gauls, in their sweeping migration
west and south toward the Iberian pen
lnsula, were stopped, pleased and held
by the wines in that region where Ror-
deaux now stands. The French nation
was founded, it may be said, upon those
wine-produoing hills. Wine has been
the daily drink of Frenchmen for manv
centuries, the drink of all, from four or
five years of age onward. France never
has been drunken. In one city, in the

this writer saw more drunkenness than
III Paris in four years. And in Paris
the rare drunkards are usually con-
trlbuted by America, England, or some
other foreign country
In Italy the drinking of light wines is
universal and there is no drunkenness
When wine is so cheap that the cost is
insignificant, its consumption increases
little, if at all.
Would "teetotal' nations survive, and
tor how long, probably? Would they
be able to compete with the drinking
populations brought in contact with
them?
The Jews have been moderate drink
ers OF wine for four thousand wears
here is no drunkenness among Jews.
Anyone who has read the editorial
columns of the Hearst papers for years
past, recognizes this as the same sort of
nonsense that Mr.. Brisbane has been
sagely pouring into the public ear in ten
point, double-leaded type. This talk
about the absence of drunkenness in
france and Italy is sickening and lust
as s1ckenlng on the pages of magazine
as on the yellow sheets of a Hearst
daily. MIR. Brisbane seems to have in
vented 1T to take the place of the ex-
ploded nonsense about the absence of
drunkenness from beer-drinking Ger
many, which story has served its dav
and generation, and lapsed into innocu
Gus desuetude.
AS to the Jew, while it is true that,
with a remarkable degree of home train
ing, that race has escaped many of the
worst evils of drunkenness, Mr.. Bris-
bane might be proftably referred to the
recent remark of the young, forsaken
wife OF Jew, who, being told that Jews
never get drunk, replied: 1T is very
evident that you never tried to live with
a lew"

ANTI-HORSE THIEF CLUBS.

From the Kansas City Star.
The thief who in the early days in Kan

came to be an offence punished by hang

lied themselves for protection. That was
the beginning Of the Anti-Horse Thief
Association.

Two weeks ago Osawatomie. Kan,
which has q population of about $500, held
an a%nti-horse thief picnic. Moro than
5000 persons attended. A parade Of horse

Victoria had limited him TO q very re-
duoed programme for this great society
function. Unfortunately Sir James died
suddenly without having the time TO
settle his affairs and without making a
will, 80 that the Prince was brought face
to face with q demand to pay some 81. e0O.-
600 to the executors.
This difficulty was solved by q second
beneiactor. Baron de Hirsch, who as
sumed the responsibility Of the debt.
The Baron had already In 1890 enabled
the Prince to pay back to Kaiser
William II. the money he had borrowed
from his sister. the wife Of the Emperor
Frederick. Soon after the Baron too died
without arranging rs to the repayment
Of the sums he had advanced.
Cecil Rhodes and his South African
associates we're the saviors Of the future
master of the British Empire from these
new difficulties. How far the Prince
participated in their speoulations Ii known
only to those most closely. connected
with them. ,
At last the Prince became King. Every
one expected that Parliament would at
once be asked to relieve him Of the heavy
burden Of debt that weighed upon him.
for Queen Victoria had left most Of her
fortune to the younger members Of her
family. To every ones astonishmsnt no
such request was made. and the Gov
eminent announced that the civil list
would not be increased. The King had
found another solution.
Three tried friends, Sir Edward Cassel.

earned renown and wealth In Egypt;
Lord Farquhar. governor Of one ofdLon-
don's greatest banks. and Lord Esher.
a partner Of Sir Edward Cassel's, as
sumei all the Kings debts and under
took the administration Of his whole
income. public and private.
They established a sinking fund. signed
insurance policies and with their great
financial opportunities realized great
profits by successful Investments. A
few years Of this energetic treatment
enabled them to wipe out the royal in
debtedness and now for a year the bal
ance has been in favor Of Edward VII,
And that is why Edward now wears the
smile that Europe enviss him.
