WILL WIN IN TWO YEARS.
National Prohibition Prospects in
Sweden Are Encouraging.

The expected enactment of national
prohibition in Sweden has been again
delayed by the present legislature
Two prohibitory measures-one pro-
viding for national prohibition with
in 20 years, and the other introducing
immediate local option-were carried
in the lower house of the Swedish par
lament, but lost in the upper cham
Der.
There is good reason for the eXpecta-
ton of temperance reformers that in
two years both measures will be
pressed through successfully. At that
time, under the new election law
which gives throughout the nation one
vote to each man over 81 years, the
character of the upper house will be
greatly changed through the lessening
of the power OF the aristocratic and
capitalistic classes in legislative con
troll and temperance reform can no
Longer be stayed.
The present arrangement is one OF
property qualification-ths number OF
votes one man controls increasing ac-
cordins to his income. What a de
terrent effect this has had on temper
ance reform in all stages may be
CLEANED from the cases cited in the
temperance press of the country:
In BorgiiO, 16 property owners out
voted 1913 small holders; In Norrbarke
IS property owners outvotsd IA small
holders. and at Atvindabarg II votes,
including among them those OF a brew
cry interest, outnun bered 1873 votes Of
smaller holdings, where a beer IL
cense was the issue.
The great suffrage reform OF last
year puts an end to such unfairness.
A motion was brought forward by
Herr Kvarnzelim and carried in the
second chamber Of the Swedish par
lament last year, the purpose of
which was TO put an end completely
to the receipt OF any moneys from
the drink traffic by the Swedish state.
This motion was lost In the upper
chambers. on the ground that, II the
revenue from the drink trafic were
cut off, other sources Of supply would
be taxed, and as representatives of
the capitalist and land owning class
they preferred that the wage earners
should continue to contribute an i'm
mense share OF the revenue through
expenditure on drink
The temperance needs OF the coun-
try are pressing, and a strong current
of public opinion is urging reform.
Without doubt the suffrage readjust.
ment will prove prologue TO the great
prohibition movement throughout
Sweden, and advance the cause in all
northern Europe

REFORM IN ITALY.
How the Temperance Movement Is
Progressing in That Land.

Reports from Rome state that the
Young Socialists recently in session
in the Italian capital concluded their
congress with a significant vote in
favor Of temperance reform-a sub
ject which has hitherto attracted far
less attention in Italy than in England
and other European countries. The
congress passed a motion in favor of
the state monopoly of all alcoholic
liquors, and expressed the opinion that
the profits derived from their sale
should be devoted to a temperance
crusade, especially among working.

in the number and hours OF public

selves frem the drink evil as the
greatest national foe.

he appeared in the parlor he blew his
nose, and each Of the girls promptly Sel-

any particular cute remark about it, He
said Mice evening" and sat down and
they repeated the performance The repe-
tition Of the remark caught him again
so before he did anything more he rubbed
his hands together and stroked his hair
and they did the same. Not SO cold to-
night he ventursd, in order to be sure
of his ground and they repeated with a
slight change in emphasis, Not so cold
tonight" There was a slight twinkle OF
mischief in their eyes, and he caught the
cue. He Strengthened his collar and
they did the same, and one of them
smiled trife. He didn't hesitate any
longer but deliberately stopped down and
