EVILS OF THE LIQUOR HABIT
Little Band Of Indian Shakers Arc
Doing Much to Stamp Out InIurI-
Gus Traffic in West

Working quietly but steadily, a lit
tie band of Indian Shakers, adherents
Of a new Indian religion, are doing
more to stamp out intemperance in
the northwest than any other factor,
says Golfers. Asking no help from
the whites or from the Indians them
selves, but believing that they are
directed by the spirit of their depart
ed leader and founder Of the sect,
John Slocum, the priests of the belief
are found in nearly all the Indian viii
lagos of Washington and Oregon.
They teach one doctrine-temper-
ance-cry continually against the
evils Of the liquor habit, and ex-
pound crudely the teachings of the BIZ

Shakers, though dead, is their proph-

whisky"
Since the Shaker priests have start
ed their crusade, t1e authorities are
finding that it is much easier to stop
the illegal traffic Of liquor among the
Indians. When an Indian. a member
of the faith, backslides and falls by
the wayside. the priests or priestesses
find out who sold the liquor and re-
port the seller to the authorities. Con-
victions are assured, as the Indians
will testify against the prisoner, some
thing that has never been true in the
northw est before.
A few months ago the Shakers dedi-
Gated a handsome me- church at Mud
Bay, near Olympia, the capital of
Washington, the home and the birth
place Of the new faith. The church is
a substantial structure constructed en-
tirely by the Indians. Peter Kalama,
highly educated, wealthy priest Of
the faith, donated the money to buy
the materials, and with the other

HARM IN OCCASIONAL GLASS
Prof. AmaIdi, Noted italian AIienlst,
Tells of Many Dangers in
Moderate Drinking.

The gifted italian alienist, Prof.
/ PaolO Amaldi, who is physician and
/ scientist of international note, deliv-
! cred recently public address on alco-
holism and moderate drinking which
is attracting wide attention and which
| Illustrates in a striking way the fact
that the great scientist leaders of the
, European movement against alcohol
almost without exception make
! straight for the logical conclusion Of
/ abstinence.
1T is" said Professor Amaldi mo
spirit of dogmatism which makes me
Judge anti-alcohol propaganda Of the
moderate type to be contradictory,
| useless and harmful Rather the
| plainest logic. Alcohol is a poison,
! the prototype of narcotics, charged
| with passing seductions and perma-
nent disasters. In the true and pre-
else sense of the word no dose is
I harmless. In fact, harmless glass
is q myth without scientific justifica-
ton. From no point of view is 1t a
food. The most minute quantity d.
minishes the systems power of re-
sistance, as Laitenen's beautiful ex-
periments have proved
Now, the logical conclusion from
these facts is abstinence-a conclu-
sion corroborated by personal expe-
rience. For thirty years l was a mod
crate drinker of wine. For fourteen
l have lived abstinent, and the result
is | commend abstinence to all who
are dear to me. AS a physician too,
and not merely in my work as an
alienist. my most important successes
are due to indicated prohibition Of al
coholics, including wine.
Il must explain how and why I
consider a temperance agitation in
the moderate sense as an evil thing
First, it must be remembered that
moderation has been fruitlessly
preached for centuries by moralists
and philanthropists. Further, in Italy,
1t is not the alcoholism of the few
who land in prisons and madhouses
which is the danger, but the wide
spread moderate alcoholism, which,
affecting all strata Of society, soils
and discolors the whole nation; which
under the disguise of the harmless
glass, weakens the whole national
organisms power of resistance, In
creases disease of all kinds, makes the
bed for all forms Of tuberculosis, pre-
pares the moral and physical decline
Of coming generations and filches a
/ fourth-perhaps a third-of our peo-
/ pies wages spent in moderate drink
/ ing The alcoholism of the insane,
the criminal, the drunkard, is but the
visible and irremediable exponent of
the fundamental, the true pathological
phenomenon-the social alcoholism,
against which we must and can strug-
gle.
In this sense the maxim that mod
crate drinkers are the real cause Of
alcoholism is true. 1t is a pity that
we, in Italy, cannot take advantage
of the experiences of other people in
this fight For If we should advance
now to the radical position we could
blot out the twenty to forty years
which separates US from other ma
tons"

God has placed us to fulfill his etsr-
nal purpose.
Strength in its physical aspect is
a sound body. The body is like a
spirited horse, if the rider once loses
control, he is dragged in the dust
and perhaps killed. But mental
strength is part of physical
strength; we speak of sound mind
in a sound body.
The impure thought even weakens
the physical being
The speaker took up the sins of a
sickly sentimentality. A hard heart
is, better than a soft head But we
should remember that the body, the
mind, are a part of the spirit. We
have bodies and minds but we are
spirits. BE strong like the strong
man, Jesus Christ

sAccALAuREATE SERMON
Delivered Before Graduating Clas
Sunday Evening by Rev SCHUYLER


Sunday Evening by Rev Schuyler
At a largely attended service at st
Peters church Sunday evening, the
Baccalaureate sermon was delivered
by the Rev Philip Schuyler. The
church was decorated in honor of the
occasion in the coors of the class,
green and white The center aisle
was trimmed with white peonies and
mountain ferns. the altar decorations
being ferns and syringas. The mem
bers of the class occupied a position
of prominence in the front pews.
Rev. Nj Schuyler took as his text
Ephesians $40, BE strong" He
said, Il am going &c take a very short
text, one that you can all remember,
only two words, found in the 10th
verse of the 9Th chapter of Ephesians,
BE strong 1t is short but full Of
meaning, especially for those who
like the graduating class of the Ben
nington high school, are about to
face this old world of ours in new
way. And my dear young friends, it
does make tremendous difference
how we face this old world Of ours. .
Mr.. Schuyler went on to enlarge
upon the theme of his text, taking up
in turn the three fold character Of
strength and true relations of physi-
cal. mental and spiritual strength.
Life may be taken either as a great
play ground or as great work shop
on which we are to grind out a living
and die rich. Both are mistaken
views. But we are to regard it, the
speaker said, as the sphere in which
