Concerns Us All.

We are sometimes told that since
the drinker pays it, we need not con-
Germ ourselves. Passing by the selfish
ness and brutality of this declaration,
let me revert to the fact that We are
IA from being free from the financial
burdens that this monster iniquity en-
tails. There is not a taxpayer that
of it. One-half the idiocy and insanity
of the land is due to the use OF ardent
spirits. Three-fourths of the child
homelessness, three-fourths of the
pauperism and three-fourths of the
crime-fully nine-tenths of the crime
of violence-are all due to this horri-
BILE curse. The heaviest expenses
borne by the state are those that
spring from the sources referred to
and who pays them? The taxpayer,
whether he be a drinking man or a
total abstainer. Were the liquor
business annihilated, and were all IT'S
effects eliminated, our taxes would
Immediately be reduced more than
twenty-five per cent, and all neces-
sary expenses of the government,
local, state and national, be fully met.
Here we may add at least another bill
lion to the estimate of the financial
burden that the liquor business en-
tails upon our people. All moral and
human considerations aside, do we
deserve to be considered intelligent

Only Temnerate Men Wanted.

For one to enter the navy of the
United States, he must he a man of
correct habits. There are, in1eed, a
few Incorporate men in this branch
of our. service but to gain their places
they have had to conceal their habits
and control their appetites.. No man
on our ships OF war can command
wine, beer, whisKey or ciaer. Strong
drink is prohibited by a strong hand.
The government says, Our naval
men, the men beninu the nations big
guns, shall be sober mem" In TINS,
the powers that be are wise and the
result is, our navy is recruited, al
lnost wholly, from our best families.
AS in the navy, SO should it be IN
the army, but such is far from the
case. The army is largely recruited
Today from saIOon-ranks ana these
men of appetite have been encour-
aged to enlist because the canteen
was at hand to soothe, comfort AMI
satisfy their appetltes. But the cam
teen has gone now, no soIdier-ca4np
has it's beer-hall to-day, and the re-
suit is, that fewer men of intemper-
ate habits are making enlistment IN
the army The fewer the better!
The nation needs no ,inebrlte to man
its guns, large or small. and the 0e-
mands for high, moral character
should be as great for the army as
for the navy. The drinking man
should be refused place in the ranks.
Sober men can be found, and with
their coming the canteen question
would be solved.

puzzled over it for awhile dip your
finger in q glass of water, hold it
above the place where the match is
notched and let a drop fall on the
point. The power of the water as it
strikes the match is strong enough to
force the sides of the angles to spring
apart, thus making the opening large
enough for the penny to fall into the

Your trick is performed, while the

Financial Investment.

A recent writer in the "NaZarene
Messenger" a California paper, i'm
pressi~ely proves that the liquor traf-
fic is very poor financial investment
for Los Angeles, California. He says,
in substance, that Los Angeles has
thirty-eight cafes and restaurants
where liquor is sold. 1t has 200 sa-
looms, besides wholesale liquor
houses and many blind pigs" 1t
has raised the saloon license from
SIS to 500 a month. It's total rev.
enue from drink is $275,00O a year
But when it raised the saloon and
cafe license it added sixty-five men
TO the police force, which will cost
an additional $4,000 a year, or a
total of $347,000. The city has for
ty-two square miles of territory. The
saloons are confined to about one
mile. square, and it requires eighty
per cent. of the police for that one
square mile, while the other forty
one square miles get twenty per cent
The city receives $270,000 blood
money from the drinking bells and
pays $216,000 for police force to
watch them.

They See the Point,

The official organ of the National
Liquor League Of America, which is
published under the name: "Bever-
ages" unites with "Bunfort's," an
other periodical in the service of al
cohol, in expressing the opinion that
the saloon is doomed. It writes edi-
torially as follows:
THE result in Georgia presents no
pleasant outlook for any section of
the business. That State in it's judg-
ment has treated all alike, and no
false notion that beer is a temperance
beverage and should lie allowed to
hold on has been brought forward.
I'VE dislike to acknowledge it. but
We really believe the entire business
all over has oVerstayed Its opportun7
ity to protect itself against the on
ward march of prohibition, which in
some sections of the country is ad-
vancing like prairie fire and not a
hand raised to stop its progress.
Five years ago a united industry
might have kept back the situation
that now confronts it. but to-day it is
too late.
Might as we'll try to keep out the
Hudson River with whisk broom.

Denmark ana Suicides.

The Statistical Bureau of the
State of Denmark has published a
report on suiciIes and addicted
deaths in TIE years 1886 to 1905.
The number of sdiclaes was PA per
100000, the incidence for men be-
ing four times greater tnan that for
women. SuiclIe caused by addiction
to drink is twice IS frequent in Cop
enhagen as in tie country. OF the
male suici-es be,wten twenty-five
and sixty-fiye Yeas OF age every Sec
ond was a drunkard More than 600
deaths by accident are registered
yearly, $50 of which happened dur
ing works, which only so are COW
cred by the Workmans Liability act.
OF the aggregate number of males
about fifteen years of age having
persisted by accident one-fifth were
addicted to drink. The statistics for
men between forty-fve and sixty-fve
years present a still darker aspect,
one-third of the persisted being
drunkards.-New York Medical Re-

JACKSON.
SPENDING EIGHT MILLIONS,
Appropriation Of the Legislature Fig
ured Out

ured Out.
State Auditor Smith figures it out
that in addition to making provision
for the spending, of s7,721437.30 for
the biennial period ending January J.,
1912, the 1910 session of the legisla-
ture absorbed during the run of it's
ninety days continuance pretty good
slice out Of the total. The contingent
expenses of the two bodies amounted
to 2e,52746, while the per diami of
members and mileage amounted to
$9S,452.50 making a gross total Of
S125,039.9G.
While the appropriations at the 1910
session exceeded the sum total for the
previous session by s1,197, 1868, there
we're increased appropriations which
amounted to nearly half million dol
lars, the bulk Of which will find its
way back to the people as circulating
medium. There was an increase of
100000 for pensions and the Soldiers
Home, and Of 343, JIG for common
schools, an aggregate increase of S448,-
176 over and above that of 1908, while
there were similar increases for the
Judiciary, which will all come back to
the banks and business houses, so that,
after all on the final analysis, the 1919
Legislature did not do so badly by the
state at large as would seem from .
superficial first scrutiny Of the finances.

Its Cost Beyond Estimate.

Expenses absolutely certain to fol-
low the use of intoxicating drinks,
but which it would be impossible to
calculate, are the
Loss of time of men ineapacitated

By loss arising from destruction
of life and property, by land and

That Near Beer Decision.

That Near Beer Decision.
AS deeply interested as anyone else
in the much discussed near beer" de-
cision of the supreme court is Gov.
Noel He has received a number Oh H.
quIries as to the effect of toe ruling
of the court, and also requests for in
struction from officials responsible for
the carrying out of the spirit and in
tent of that decree.
There are some who appear to be
under the impression that, following
literally the lines announced by Judge
Anderson in the leading opinion, the
exemption from liability would apply
to wines, ales or other stimulants,
which are regarded as non-intoxicants,
even though they may contain more
than per cent of alcohol. This is, of
course. false assumption and one not
justified by the opinion of the court.
The governor states that he will
make close study of all three of the
written opinions handed down, and af-
ter he has boiled the points down to
the concrete he will Issue instructions
to officers of the law, though this may
not be necessary, as the attorney gen

LIQUOR LAWS, NORWAY.

4. New Norwegian liquor laws are
successful. The Sondag system gives
power to municipalities to grand all
the retail spirit licenses which would
bind itself to carry on the traffic in
the interests of the community. with
a fixed annual return of not more than
5per cent. on its paid up capital
In establishing the system the ques-
ton of compensation does not appear
to have presented much difficulty.
The allotments of the profits are are
DIS follows: To the State, 60 per cent.
to the municipality. in lieu of larger
license duties, now abolished, 10 per
cent, and to objects of public utility
operating as counter attractions to the
public houses in towns, 10 per cent.
and in the surrounding districts. 10
pei cent.
The profits of the trade under these
restrictions have contributed $1,000
600 for objects of public interest since
tn, founding of the system. During
the last eight years the proportion
accruing to the State has been in
creased and set apart till 1910 to
form the nucleus of an old age pen
sion fund, which now amounts to ST.
100000. The most remarkable fact in
the history of Norway so5riety is that
the consumption OF alcohol per inhabi-
tant has decreased about As per cent.
in the last fifty years. The decrease
has been most marked since the es-
tablishment of the Sondag system.
The aims and principles of the Son.
dag system are these: Tie elimina-
ton of private profit and securing
the monopoly value for the public; in
surfing the highest quality Of liquors
sold; the reduction of the number of
licenses; the easy enforcement of the
law; the destruction of the power OF
the spirit trade; and the furtherance
of all progressive measures of re-
form.
