LIQUOR DRINKING
SHORTENS LIFE
SO DECLARES DlCkIE IN A
DEBATE WITH MAYOR
ROSE.

Chicago, May before an audi
ence which applauded each speaker
with generosity the second debate be-
tween Mayor Rose of Milwaukee and
President Dickie of Albion college,
Mich, on the prohibition question
was given at the Auditorium theater
here last night. Rose, in taking the
negative of the question that prohibl-
ton of the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating beverages is right, de-
clared prohibition wholly insufficient
and destructive in actual practice.
He presented statistics from prohibit
ton states to show that prohibition
is a failure in stopping drunkenness.
Dickie took up the physical effect
that the drinking of intoxicating liq-
uors has upon its patrons. He argued
that it shortened life and increased
liability to disease. The liquor deal
ers were severely denounced. He
said the net result of their business
was to lower the moral tone of the
community Criminals, gamblers
and women of the street are the
only defenders of the saloon,' de-
clared Dickie.

on the great lakes against the Lake
Carriers association will be issued to-
day. 1t will affect from 10000 TO 3d.

association inserted the open shop
clause. The engineers are backed up
bv other unions Under the constitu-

declare a strike until the question had
been submitted 10 a referendum vote.

coming to Europe on the yacht, Vana-
dis, in June, will devote the proceeds

of these facts he did not think there
was any doubt that businessmen are
aware of the fact that it is crime
for a railroad to give or shipper to
receive rebates, and he assured his
hearers that the present administra
ton would as vigorously enforce the
law as did the last. At the same time
prosecutions will not be commenced
without sufficient consideration and
without adequate cause.
