ECONOMIC LOSS FROM DRINK II 8
United States Has Passed Million Dot
lar Mark In Describing Damage,
Now BitlionaIre.

OF our more than eighty-three mil
lions of people about twenty-five mil
lions are wage-earners, and or less
than two millions are captains OF In

The average wage is about $1.56 t6s.)
per day. but the product Is worth at
least 81 to the employer, who must
have a profit, and at least as u to
the nation. said Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts,
Phi. D., in a speech to the Twelfth IN,
ternational Congress on Alcoholism,
held in London. One-tenth of that for
300 days means $50 per year for each
workman, and a total for all wage
earners of 81, 1 600, 900 tG230,000,-
0OO). In the United States, we have
passed the period of millions in des-
cribing the damage from drink. for
alcohol has become a millionaire"
We are not dependent on laboratory
experiments for proof that even a mod
crate use of alcohol impairs efficiency.
Benjamin Franklin. in the eighteenth
century, observed as a printer, what
DIR. Aschaffenburg has just proved by
tests, that sober printers do more and
better work than drinkers. That is
why 81 per cent. of a representative
list of American employers, questioned
by the United States Bureau of Labor
some years since, reported that they

tests of soldiers in craftsmanship and
marching all tell the same story, that
even moderate use of sintoxicants de-.
creases efficiency. When we turn to
the captains of industry and their
~lieutenants, from whose ranks life in
cases that have shown that total abb
stainers, other conditions being equal,
live fully 15 per cent. longer thai even
those very moderate drinkers who are
allowed to insure, We see that the
losses in valuable lives must rise to
millions more. The loosening of the
tongue and drugging Of Judgment and
conscience, and the shortening of a
life worth $4,000 a year becomes a
very costly matter when the man Is
the manager of a great business or
the leader of an army, or the arbiter
of a nations politics. In this age of
keen competition, national as we'll as
individual, it is the fit" that survive"
and succeed. Many Japanese gave up
sake during the var with Russia that
they might contribute the money thus
saved as a patriotic offering to the
nations war fund. In Britain, Ger
many, and other lands, patriots might
well abstain for a patriotic. reinforce

which the supreme industrial battle
of the nations" shall be ultimately de-

THE NEXT NEBRASKA SENATOR.

There are two candidates for United
States Senator before the republican
voters of Nebraska at the direct
primaries on August 16. One of them
Is the present senator, Elmer j.
Burkett, the other is Charles o.
Whedon. Mr.. Whedon Is very much
the better man. Mr.. Burkett's abil-
tiles are of the order which enable
some of his friends to describe him
admiringly as Smooth" and as a
slick politician" Mr.. Whedon is
such a mar that one of his most ar
dent political enemies generously
speaks of him as ''honest and able,
superior in brains and ability" Mr..

DRINK OUTLAY Is LESSENED
Liquor Provisions of British Budget
Bring in less Revenue, but
More Sobriety.

George B. Wilson, secretary of the
United Kingdom alliance, states that
the drink bill of England for 1909
shows a decrease over 1908 of 95,-
897,997 ($29,475, 000). On spirits the
decrease was G4,800,000 1924, 000, 000).
with a decrease in consumption of
1922 IT'S gallons. On beer the de-
crease was G1, 1856 900 ($5, 940, 000),
with a decrease in consumption OF
1896 barrels. On wine there was
an increase of $4,000 ($465, 000),
with an increase in consumption of
1903, 744 gallons. Mr.. Wilson believes
that the increase in the price of spir-
it's and beer due to the budget was
largely responsible for the decreased
consumption. He declares that il
there had been nc increase in prices
the reduction of the total expenditure
for 1909 would have been G11,147. 997
($55, 739, 5000.
Mr.. Wilson estimates that the
liquor drinking class is about 80 per
cent. of the total population. Accord
ing to these figures the per capita
expenditure Is approximately $1,000
per year. Two-thirds of the total
drink bill. or nearly $4,000, 900
($10,0 .000) a week, is said to be
spent by the working classes. "If they
are above the poverty line, rssays Mr..
Wilson, this wasted expenditure
tends to bring them under it; If they
are under it. the waste a~ggravates
their difficulties. Drink-caused pov-
erty is the worst kind of poverty, be-
cause 1t does not make the best of
the available resources and is inva.
riably associated with moral and phys
ical degradation. The burden of the
drink evil falls heavily on the wom-
an; it crushes the child ~.st'. 4y4
Mr.. Wilson believes in the efficacy
Of repressive legislation to diminish
the drink evil. However, he admits
that the diminished consumption of
Alcoholic liquors is to some extent the
result of a continuous change In the
habits of the people-"a change" he
remarks, that seems likely to be
permanent"

For Hayward all the Time.

William II. Hayward of Nebraska
through the request of many friends
has announced himself as a candidate
for congress in this district. He is a
young progressive republican right
up to date, is a statesman instead
of a politician, honest in principle,
patriotic in action and if nominated
would make a campaign in accord
ance with the wishes and want OF
the district. His ability has already
proven his worth. There are other
good ones in the field but we are for
Hayward first, last and all the time.

THE WORTH WHILE PLANkS.

' -
For the further regulation of the
liquor traffic in Nebraska. We are
in flavor of the passage o ia county
on that subject as the Legislature may
and pledge our candidates for COVER
nor, If elected, to approve such a law
on that subject as thelegislature may
enact"
I'VE recognize the existence of
n sufficient demand for direct legis-
lation In this state to warrant sub
hitting the question to the vote of
the people. We therefore favor the
submission of a direct legislation
amendment to our constitution by the
next legislature"
I'VE favor the creation of a non
partisan board of control for the
penal. reformatory aand charitable in
situations of the state"
I'VE favor the passage of a new
apportionment law, at the next ses-
sion of the legislature, r~edistricting
the state into senatorial and repre-
sentatiyes districts, giving to each
fair and equal representation, based
on the population as shown by the
census of 1910 and If the legisla-
ture, which Is elected this fall, fails
to preform this constitutional duty,
while in regular session, we pledge
the people of this state that the re-
publican candidate for governor, If
elected. will onven the legislature
in special session until this con-
stitutional duty has been performed"
Every protest against the wrong is
insurging for the right. We are un-
alterably opposed to the system
known as 'Cannonism' and are in
hearty sympathy with the insurgent
movement in and out of congress.
We herewith urge II senators and
representatives to continue to use
their votes and influence along pro-
gressiye lines in the future"

WHAT COUNTY OPTION MEANS.

WIN SOSfN
In answer to many inquiries, it is
we'll to observe again that the prin-
eiple of county option, as tried out
in many states, is hat when a
county votes dry, it is all dry.
When a county votes against the
dry" proposition 1t remains just as
1t vas before, leaving the municipal
tiles to have saloons or not have
them, as they may decide in their
local elections.
In Nebraska, to fail to dry up a
county would mean to leave the Slo-
cum law in effect just as it is now.
County option is not a proposition
to vote saloons into a county. 1t Is
to vote them out of a county. Saloons
are already outlaws under the law,
permitted only under certain condi-
tions, and restrained by bonds and
local police regulations.
County Option would mean a
chance of the people of the whole
county to absolutely prohibit the lie
ensing of outlawry within the county.
Brewery papers call this a jug-hand-
led arrangement. So is the licen-
sing of outlaw institutions jug-hand-
led. SO is the running of the lives
of men and boys ~jng-handled.

The farmers hold the keys to the
political situation. When they turn
out and vote big majorities are sure
to be rolled up in the interests of the
people and popular issues. The peo-
pie still rule whenever they take the

themselves, intelligently. as they did
in Kansas on Tuesday. 1t rained oy-
er a considerable portion of the
state of Kansas Monday night making
work in the fields on Tuesday largely

farmers took a day off and went to

were posted OF the issues and knew
how TO cast their ballots for the good
of popular government is clear from
the returns. The country people are

h primary plan has ushered In
the day of intelligent voting. Under
the old convention system a few dele
gates from each county would have
met in state convention. A commit.
tee consisting of a still smaller num-
Der of the few composing the whole
convention would have drafted a set
of resolutions. The resolutions would
have Endorsed all that had been done
in state affairs Oh in Congress by the
party, or condemned all that had
been done by the opposition party.
That would have ended the free, un.
biased discussion of the measures sc
vitality affecting the people. After
that the voter would either approve
all, or oppose all, that had been done
by the party" in power and not one
voter in ten would know the effect OF
the measures he had Endorsed or OF
those he had denounced. His indi.
vidual opinions, interests and convic,
tons would all be swallowed up and
lost completely in a partisan resolu.
ton that pointed with pride" or a
partisan condemnation that viewed

what he is doing when he votes. He
knows not only the candidates he is
voting for, but he knows what princi-

Material recommendation, and the bill
was passed for the second time and
sent to the governor for signature.
Owing to the unusual pressure Of
work incident to the close Of the leg
islative session, Governor Noel did
not have time to go thoroughly into
the merits Of the measure, but, as it
had been passed by good majority in
both houses, he allowed it to become
q law without his signature.
The opponents of inter-insurance
contend that it is nothing more or less
than a form of wild-catting; that the
law as passed by the legislature is
fatally defective in many respects,
and this will be proven conclusively
when it is subjected to legal test.
Owing to the fact that the present
supreme court term is drawing to a
close, and the summer term of the
Kinds county chancery court, in which
proceedings will probably be institut-
ed. has just adjourned, the litigation
will not reach the court of last re-
sort until several months hence.
