How Long, Oh Lord, How Long?

How Long, Oh Lord, How Long?
saw the Washington dispatch, in
| Tuesday mornings kennebec Journal
| giving the statistics from the commits
sioner of internal Fought to be in
| FernaD revenue, as to national con-
sumption of liquors, cigars, etc
When We consider that the revenue
receipts for October this year, were
more than 100000 greater than for
october, 1911, we are confronted by
the enormous sum that must have
been spent in order that the govern
ment's share for being in the rum
business might be so large,
Can the average reader imagine the
change in conditions of ali the people
of America if these hundreds of mil
lions of money were spent for a use
full purpose-if the ones who spend
this money spent it for food and
clothing, and homes for wives and
children?
Can any one imagine the changed
character of all the people of this
country, if these hundreds of millions
of dollars annually were not used to
turn men into brutes and fiends, and
women into worse than beasts: if all
these millions were burned instead of
providing paupers, imbeciles, criminals
and insane for the rest to care for and
support?
And what are the people of this
when they are shown beyond dispute
that the habit is increasing, and is
gaining in its devilish grasp upon the
nation at an alarming rate? Where
and what is the end to be, when the
makers and sellers of booze are daily
perfeeting their organization and are
reaching out more defiantly and de-
terminedly after your son and mine?
You all know their methods and how
they are buying and owning, soul and
body, every possible politician. You
know how their literature is invading
every home. in defiance of law and
deceney.
They want your son and they want
your daughter. They will use his
earning power until the human ma
chinery is worn out or until he COM
mits some crime that sends him to
prison or the gallows. They will turn
her over to their white slave partners
as bait for such rolice officials as
New York has shown, and then send
her to hell when her physical charms
are gone.
That is the liquor traffic, and the
stockholders are not better than the
worst assassin whom God has suffered
10 degrade the earth.
Do you grasp the fact that this traf-
fc is growing by leaps and bounds?
Can you remain inactive and quiet
your conscience by the eowardly ex-
cuse that it is none of your business?
Whose business is it, and how long
will intelligent, Cod fearing people
submit? How long, o Lord, how
long?
Consider this other dispatch, which
appeared in Tuesdays Kennebee Jour
nal:

and hopeless men on the streets

INSANITY RATE INCREASING
One Patient Committed to Wisconsin
Institutions Every Forty Eight
Hours, Shows Report.

Madison.-One person goes insane
in Wisconsin every forty-eight hours
and is committed to a public asylum,
according to statistics issued by the
state board Of control On Feb. 20
there were $500 patients in state
and county asylums, an increase of
1858 over the number on Feb. %,
1910.
The total number of insane in state
hospitals on Feb 29 was 1,175,
which as compared with that of two
years ago, marks a decrease of 10,
due to the fact that the Mendoza asy-
lum was under quarantine for three
months during an epidemic of diph-
liberia. Patients were temporarily
committed to county asylums dur
ing that period.
The total number of patients in
county asylums on Feb. 20 was s.
019, an increase Of 491 over that of
two years ago. Patients in the Mil
waukee hospital on Feb. 20 number
ed 612, a decrease of eighteen in two
years

DIXIE REPAIR FUND Is SMALL
Onl; SAL Avail able for Relief of
Portage Flood PeriI-Special Act
of Legislature Is Necessary.

Madison.-A delegation from Por-
tage held conference here with
Gov. McGovern, State Treasurer Dahl
and Attorney General Bancroft with
regard to the anticipated flood dan
ger along the Wisconsin river.
State aid is needed to repair the
river levees, and it is understood that
if the governor calls special session
of the legislature and considers the
situation at Portage Of sufficient mo-
ment, that an appropriation will be
suggested at that time.
Prior to 1904 all money received
by the state from the sale of swamp
land was deposited in a state drain
age fund for reformation purposes.
At that time little financial aid was
necessary, and after a balance of
100000 had accumulated, the mon
ey was turned over to the state gen
eral fund. The drainage fund at
present amounts to but SAIL, which
would be of little effect in the pro-
posed repair work at Portage. 1t
will be necessary to approve the ap-
preparation through a special act of
the legislature if the city is to re-
ceiVe substantial aid

DENY INDIANS ARE PAGANS

Lac du Flambeau.-The report
that the Chippewa Presbytery was
considering the establishment of an
Indian mission at the Couderay res
ervation because, it was claimed, a
majority of the 5000 Indians in
the western part of the state are
without religious training, has
reused a protest among those we'll
acquainted with conditions at the va
rious Indian reservations. They claim
that the inference that Wisconsin In
dams are pagans is unjust and false.
The assertion is made that at least
two-thirds of the governments wards
on the Couderay or Lac Courte Or
eillies reservation at Reserve, Saw
yer county, are good Christians and
will remain so until death. Long
trains of them may be seen on the
way to church on Sundays, holidays
and feast days, some of the old wom-

Privately, it was announced the
