a British Ju.tIe. on Drunkenness.


At a social meeting Of the Commit
tee OF the Royal Courts Of Justice and
Legal Temperance society. held In
London recently. Mr.. Justice Walton.
who presided. said the society had a
long record of good work. and included
among it's members total abstsiners
and those who were not abstainers.
but who were impressed by the terri
BILE consequences Of intemperance. His
experience as recorder Of Wigan and
Judge of the high courts since 1901
led him to the conclusion that more
than 80 per cent. of the trials for
crimes Of violence had their origin In
Intemperance. He would not say that
professional criminals such as bur.
glars were addicted to drunkenness.
but It was his experience that crimes
of violence ending often in frightful
tragedies and a death sentence could
usually be traced to excessive drink
ing. Habitual offenders also who were
constantly sent to prison for small
pilferings were. In q large number Of
cases, victims to craving for drink
they could not resist. He heartily com
mended the work Of the society In
raising the standard of public opinion
in regard to drinking. and he was glad
to say there had been an improvement
spreading through all ranks Of life.

France. Campaign Against AbsInths.

Frances Campaign Against Absinthe.
Following the lead Of Belgium and
Switzerland, which have abolished the
sale OF absinthe, France Is taking
steps to prohibit the sale of this pol
son which Is held responsible for most
OF the horrible crimes which bring dis.
grace on the country. Two bills have
been introduced into the chamber Of
deputies, one raising the price to a
figure impossible for the great mass
of the population, and the other pro-
viding for its total prohibition. The
use Of absinthe Is probably more com.
mon In France than in any other coun.
try Of the world. and the bad effects
which follow its extended use have
aroused the more thoughtful men and
women Of the republic to a determined
campaign against 1t.
