important Facts Concerning the Recognition of IL,
Drink Evil in Land where Beer is
Supposed to Rule

From Der AbStinent, august, 19Os.l
Among the resolutions passed by the
industrial congress held in Hamburg this
summer were the following relating to
alcohol:
"The industrial congress recognizes it as
one of the most important objects of the in
dustral movement to oppose the devastation
of alcoholism by instruction and other prac-
teal means.
"It is therefore to the interest of industry
to remove from all gatherings and institutions
of all kinds, every coercion to drink and to
restrict the sale of alcoholic drinks either en-
trely or as much as possible.
Business establishments should not be To-
Gated in public houses nor be under the con-
troll of innkeepers.''
They also voted to tax themselves one
mark year per member for the promo
ton of the antialcohol movement, to
help found unions and meeting places

the following interesting excerpts from
German papers:
[From Die AlkohoFrage, September,
19Os.l
The leaders of the German chemical
industry recently sent out to their con-
stituencies a circular containing the toll
lowing:
"We urge our members to use every OPP
portunity to set before their workmen the
disadvantages of the of alcohol. Among
these are the useless expenditure of money
the weakening of their own health and that OF
their children, and the consequent diminished
resistance to disease; the greater liability to
accidents among men who are not total
abstainers, particularly among machines; the
earlier invalidism and the diminished income.
eve urge our members to oppose the use
of alcohol by all means, by providing non
alcoholic drinks such as cold coffee and
mineral water in summer and hot drinks in
winter, also by the dissemination of popular
literature, by the erection of proper places of
amusement for the hands in large factories, of
reading rooms, workmen's homes, other
homes, in which alcohol is excluded, by young
peoples societies which will keep young people
off the streets and away from the drinking

HOW A YOUNG MAN CAN SUCCEED.

There are hundreds, yes thousands, of boys and young men in the state of Arkansas who are ldl- ing away precious days waiting for an opportun- ity to do something Such boys and young men are often heard to tell of what wonderful things they would accomplish if they only had the op- portunity! They do not realize that every young man is largely the master of his own destiny, and that those who accomplish the most do not wait for opportunity to come knocking at their door, but go out into the highways and byways and search until they dig up the opportunity which carries them on to fame and fortune. These thoughts suggested by reading in the Arkansas Gazette short biograph- ica1 sketch of State Senator Johnson, of Lincoln County. It shows what young man can do when he puts forth the proper effort, and in the hope that 1t may be au inspiration to some other young man The News prints the article, as fol- lows:
 Born on farm where he worked until he was 20 years of age and then by manual labor paid for his schooling gradual ting from the University of Arkansas IS the history of the youthful career of Senator Arthur J. Johnson. Mir. Johnson will represent the Sixteenth district n the State ate.
 He was born in Garnett, Lincoln county, m 1s8o on his fathers farm, where he worked until 20 years of age, attending the district school when he could and the high school in the winter months after finishing school In 1901 he held clerical position in Joe T. Robinson's law office at Lonoke. In 1903 he entered the University of Arkansas where he remained four years, paying h1s expenses by manuel labor lanltor and bv working farm, graduating from the institu- ton Tn June 1907. He was elected principal of the Star City Public School shortly after his graduation and held the position until nominated for the Senate. He admitted to the bar III Lonoke, August 4, 1908, and has since been en- gagged in practicing law i'll Star City.
 Another young man who succeeded under diff euties, and who overcame obstacles that would have disheartened many another young man, Is mentioned by the Gazette as follows:
 Walter w. Cartwright, representative from Stone County 40 miles from railroad. He had but little schooling in his youth, but managed to pick up enough learning to secure teachers H. eense and taught school for S20 a month. He saved up enough money to pay for two years tuition i'll the Stone County Academy. After completing his course of study III that school he sold his horse for S70 and walked to Fayetteville, distance of 200 miles, where he entered the university. He worked his way through the university and during the vacation of 1901 he went to Liverpool on the steamer Costa Rican, paying tor h1s passage by working assistant cook He returned to America d stowaway in a ship bound for Boston. He wrote a description of his tri and sold the story to the Boston Even ing Transcript Returning to Fayettevlle he completed his course in the university in 1908.

 The Rogers Democrat says more building has been done in that town the past year than in any year in the history of the town. The Democrat gives fig ures showing that about S1b0,- GOO were spent in that town dur ing the year 1908 for new build ings and improvement of old ones. This Is certainly a good showing.
