FROM "NtWSIE'' TO MAYOR.

Worthy OF telling in every community OF oar
country is the story Of James Rolph, Jr,, the
newly elected mayor Of san Francisco. 1t
should prove inspiration not only 10 boys
and Young men everywhere. but to men whose
wealth and power furnish them with great in
fuence and opportunity in the service Of their
fellows
Jim Rolph was born in one of the poorer sec
lions al san Francisco and began life with the
OF the family upon him. AS newsboy and cash
boy ne got his start gradually rising through
the possession OF such attributes command
success. until at the age Of forty~two he is one
Of The prominent. influential and successful
business men of his city and has been honored
in the election as its mayor by the largest
Iorty ever given to candidate
If this were all II might be duplicated many
times in the history of nation that has fur
nished thousands OF similar careers The rise
from poverty and obscurity to success and
wealth and power is familiar story in this
land of boundless opportunity, The difference
marked by the career of Jim Roph, is that
with the change of circumstance and condition
came change of spirit aud disposition He
was born in the Mission. as they call the sec
tion of the city where his career began he lived
In the Mission while he was getting his start,
he lives in the Mission still For this reason
they call him Mission Jim" He was of the
poor and obscure classes: they were his earliest
friends, they are still his best friends
While other men were employing their newly
and the effort TO escape the conditions ana
associations of their birth and rearing, Jim
Roplh WAS living among his friends and using
his increasing means and influence to help and
them When they needed system of
sewers he bought the bonds that they might
ments he bought enough of the bonds to provide
them When the multitudes were made desc
late and destitute by the earthquake and the
fire. Jim Roph was the who guaranteed
that none of the thousands in his section should
remain hungry
Best of all he has stood for purity and hon
esty in municipal affairs and aside from his
personal popularity, the tact that he pledges a
clean and honest ADMINISTRATION is response
Bile for his remarkable victory,
San Francisco has set an example for other
cities in ignoring the question Of politics and
administration. and has given ner endorse
ment to men whom she counted worthy and
whom she could trust

The Nations Drink Riu

Inc American Grocer trade publication

eo1nplieo statistics showing the consumption OF
various forms of ntoxicants in the United
states These figures are not complied in the
interest or either a moral economic prona-
Randa but simply for trade purposes but as
theN are admitted to be accurate they are
available for any purpose for which any one
may care to them.
The fgures for 1910 have recently been com
pleted and show that the total consum ption Of
spirituous and malt liquors remains remarkably
steady, notwithstanding the drastic efforts that
nave been made in recent years o restrict the
traiflc or otherwise regulate it. Although pro-
hlbnory laws exist in many States, the con-
sumption of intoXicants goes on without any
decrease worth noting, thus proving that such
laws have not accomplished the result of check
for intoxicating drink.
The thirst for strong drink in 1910 cost the
people of the United States the enormous az
gregate of s1,5ss,921. AIS. Of which 5000 072-
257 was expended for malt liquors, 6573 eos 4s7
for sprituous liquors and s11s,642 672 for vines
II to this be added the expenditures for coffee

the five years but means that II the consump-
ton were divided equally among the popula-

The figures just quoted are SO vast that they

alton with respect beverages. The per capita
consumption is much more mt aresting as well
