BEER ROUTS WHTSKEY
Less Spirits per Capita, but More Malt
Liquors Than 90 Years Ago.
From the New York Sun.

Liquors Than 90 Years Ago.
From the New York Sun.
The official figures for the
consumption of alcoholic bevera.
ges in this country show that
the per capita consumption OF
spirits fell from 2.52 gallons in
1910 to 1877 gallons in 1909.
Since the drinking of spirits
is almost entirely confined tC
whiskey, rum, gin and brandy,
it is apparent that the consum.
ption of the liquors which con
tain the largest proportion of
alcohol has been reduced about
half
If figures for the closing dec
AIDES of the eighteenth and the
early decades of the nineteenth
centuries were available, says
the Independent, they would
show that there was even more
hard drinking" at this early
period.
The consumption of wine has
more than doubled from 1910 to
1909, increasing from 20 to 10
gallons, A large part of this
increase is due to the con.
sumption of native wines.
When the per capita consumpt-
ion of beer and ale is consider
ed the create, st change is appar
ent. This has increased from
l.36 gallons in 1910 TO 1897 gal
Ions in 1909. To how great an
extent this chlnge is due to the
German immigration, which
lrSt came TO this COUNTRY in
large numbers about 1917, is.of
course problematical. Many of
the wine drinking races, like the
Italians, after Il brief residence
in this country become consum.
ers of beer.
Although there has been y
great increase in the total
consumption Of intoxicants dur
ing the period from 1910 to 1909,
there has been a change from
those drinks containing a high
percentage of alcohol to those
containing a low percentage
and this is the one cause for en-
couragement.

pity that men can't be praised

that a man ought to do his duty

HE VOTED RIGHT.

1t gives US a great deal of pleasure
to again commend Assemblymap
S%treitwolf to the voters of Middle
sex county. The latest instance in
which he has stood for the people
is his vote on the commission form
OF government bill now pending in
the legislature,
AS is well known, a large number
OF cities have been agitating the mea-
sur that would give the cities of
New Jersey the right to adopt the
same form Of government as is in
vogue at Des Moines, Iowa, and
other progressive cities in the West.
This form of government does away
with politics in local affairs and puts
the government of cities entirely on
a business basis.
When the bill was introduced in
the legislature Assemblyman Griffin,
of Hudson county, offered an amend
ment requiring forty per cent. Of
the voters, who voted at the pre-
vious assembly election, to vote on
change before It could go into effect.
This was looked upon as an effort to
kill the measure, or, at least to make
l. ineffective. 1t was readily to be
seen who the friends Of commission
form Of government were when the
vote was taken on whether or not to
adopt this change.
The amendment was carried.
Among those voting against the
amendment, however, was Assem-
blyman Streitwolf. Assemblyman
Ramsay is recorded as voting in IA
vor of the amendment. Assembly
man Booraem did not vote, and thus
sidestepped the issue.
In all of his acts Assemblyman
Streltwolf has been decidedly on the
progressive side. His record thus
far stands out most prominently
and is a credit both to him and to
the county which he represents.

WESTMINSTER AS A SCHOOL.

ChcloSlhk q tipping VI wv EVEN
ING NEWS editorial published a few
days ago on ''What Of the Wsstmin
ster'" former Mayor Charles K. Sea
man has sent US the following commun
ieation:
Editor EVENING NEWS:
Mr.. Charles c.. Hommann, Counsellor
at Law, told of an occurrence the day
the historical old building was recently
sold.
Among those present was a gentle
man from-Newark, 1 think-who
claimed to have the experience, knew
all the requirements, and gave it as
his opinion that for ten thousand dol
lars the Westminster could be made
into a splendid school building.
Why mot? 1t would be a little more
difficult to plan the necessary changes
than to design q new structure, and
might cost a trihe less, but, If such use
were made of it we should preserve a
building which the next generation
would be proud to W and to exhibit.
CHAS. X. SEAMAN.
The idea to turn the historic Old
building into a school has been adj
vauced before in these columns. We
held then, and still maintain, that this
is an excellent way to preserve the
structure and at the same time make
it useful. We are glad to receive this.
communication from Mr.. Seaman whose
high standing in the community carries
with it considerable weight. There are
a great many other people who are of
the same opinion as Mr.. Seaman. The
matter, at least, would bear a thorough
Investigation.
Even if the alterations necessary to
convert the building into a school would
cost more than a new school, if tile
amount is not too excessive, we be
lieve the city would be fully warrant
ed in having the work done, for there
are the historical associations to be
taken into consideration. 1t would
be better than buying the building out
right without any direct return for the
money invested, and the building should
be preserved.
More school room is badly needed at
the present time. The grammar school
is overlooking. If the Westminster
were converted into a school. some~bf
the classes in No. / could be placed
there and the grammar school classes
taken to No. J.. Because Of the assoc
~iations connected with the Westmin-
ster, and the fact that more school room
is so badly needed, the necessary
amount for the purchase of the struc-
ture for school purposes should be read
lily appropriated and the city would
then have preserved for all time one of
the most valuable relics of the colon. !
IIl udHS lHdL Is " De IpuHu an w mere
in America.
If the opinion has been expressed that
for $4,000 the Westminster could be
made into a splendid school building,
the matter should be investigated at
once. If the work could be done for
twice or three times that amount, the
money would be well invested. Not
only is the school room to be eonsid-
cred, but it is the duty of the city to
do what it can to preserve the building
for the future generations. Surely we
are not less patriotic than the people
of other cities where thousands Of dol,
lars are being invested in the preserva-
ton of such places. = If there is any
possible way whereby this structure can
be made into a school buildings let it
he done, by all means.
