BOOZE" AND BUSINESS

If anybody can be supposed to have
intimate knowledge of the physical
and psychological effect of alcohol In
the human system, the bartender is
the man. He has more practical ex-
~perience with it every day and night
than even the magistrate who SEN
fences the drunk and disorderly"
prisoners or the physicians in the
hospitals to which they are sometimes
committed. 1t is distinctly interesting,
therefore, to find the secretary of the
~bartenders' union in Chicago appear
ing as a temperance advocate and or
ganizer of the "Bartenders' Temper
ance Club" He sums up his argu-
ments in these words: The boss
won't like it if you drink on the job. A
guy can't tend bar and hit the booze
and make good. 1t gets him just as
quick as the guy in front who pays
for it. II anyone wants to drink, let
the man on the other side of the bar
do it,"
That is a warning ex cathedra, in
and eloquent phrase. The bar.
tender ranges himself, as a temperance
advocate, side by side with the presi-
dents and superintendent of railroads
who forbid their employees to take a
drink within working hous and prefer
to employ abstainers only. More and
more it is coming to be the opinion
"a guy can't hit the booze and
make good" whether as bartender,
engineer, clerk or professional man.
