FRASER STIRS SMITH
Attorney General Denies Spending $13,
900 This Year for Outside Help

Thomas Fraser, Rochester, gets
plunked down in the Ananias class
by Attorney General Smith. Fraser
wants Smiths job and in campaign
ing he has said Smith has spent
$13, 900 during 1912 for outside help.
This is the way Smith comes back:
"A statement is being circulated
by thecampaign committee of Thomas
Fraser, candidate for attorney gen.
eral, which states in effect that
$4,000 has been paid for attorneys
fees for legal assistance outside the
attorney generals Office in
the year 1912.
This statement is false. Not one
cent of the attorney generals con-
tingent fund has been paid out dur
ing the year 1912 for lawyers fees.
nor has one cent been paid from any
fund whatsoever in theattorney gen.
erals control except that the Legis-
lature provided SIS, 900 for paying the
expenses and attorneys fees of the
express rate cases"

Alarming Increase Of Liquor Drinking
Among Women
Bv P A. Baker, D. D.
By. P. A. Baker, D. D.

Second, The liquor interests have
taxed the ingenuity of the traffic the
world over to invent euphonious
names for palatable mixtures by
which to lure innocent pleasure hunt
ers into the consumption of alcoholic
beverages. Many in this way become
confirmed inebriates before they are
aware that they are drinking intoxi-
eating liquors.
A gentleman who keeps drug store
in fashionable suburb of New York
City told friend of the writer re-
Gently that it was surprising and
alarming how many fashionable wo-
men in that community on their way
home from shopping in New York
would stop at his drug store to get
drugs to help them sober up before
they reached their homes and families.
The church has made liquor selling
disreputable-it must now make liquor
drinking disreputable.

"Whole" Democrats

H. A. Ivy, of Sherman, Texas, de-
clares that a true Democrat stands for
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
He says any other stand is undemo-
cratic. Here is some of his reason
ing:
The man who favors governmental
protection for an institution so de-
structive of the Democratic right of
personal liberty" falls short of being
whole Democrat"
Measured by every Democratic stan.
dard, the American liquor license sys-
tenn is clearly undemocratic, and the
citizen who supports the system by his
suffrage, to that extent subtracts from
the unit of his Democracy, and be-
comes at best only fractional Demo-
GRAFT"
Doubtless some will try to evade the
forces Of this reasoning by asserting
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1912-03-01

that the party platform rather than
the dictionary is the standard by
which they gauge their Democracy and
that the party platform having never
demanded the suppression of the liquor
traffic as it has other things inimical
to the general welfare, they are not
called upon to be more democratic than
the party. So much the worse for the
party. 1t is time for the party's plat
form to measure up to the full signifi-
canoe Of it's name.
The Democratic party will not be
wholly Democratic until it demands the
suppression of the liquor traffic, the
arch destroyer o fthe Democratic rights
of life, liberty and happiness, just as
it has demanded the suppression OF
monopolies The time is ripe in Texas
for the Democratic party to be wholly
democratic and to insist upon it's STAN
dard bearers being whole Democrats"
These fractional Democrats ought to
be allowed to tarry in private life un-
til they learn the Democratic way so
perfectly that they can overcome their
liquor bias and be Democratic on the
sale Of liquor just as they are DEM
ocratic on other things inherently de-
structive of the Democratic rights OF
life, liberty and happiness.

Accepts Pollard Plan

Germany is tired of being called by
others a nation of beer drinkers, and
the progress of temperance in that
country is so rapid that it behooves
other lands known as temperate to
bestir themselves lest the Germans
take the lead in doing away with alco-
holic liquors. The state of Lippe, in
that country, has adopted the plan OF
William Jeff Pollard, of St. Louis, for
reformation of drunkards.

Better morals, better business
methods and better standards OF
mental and industrial manhood are
steadily bringing about decrease in
the number of men who drink mod
erately or immoderately. COMPETE
ton requires men to be at their best.
The completest record of physiology,
hygiene and science is that the most
moderate use of alcohol decreases
efficiency and man who persists in 1t
is quickly outclassed. On the other
hand it must be evident to every OBJ
serving person that drinking is on the
increase amongst women. The cafes,
hotel grill rooms, and back and side
rooms attached to saloons for ladies
only" are being frequented by women
who pass as respectable, in alarmlngly
increased numbers. Even some of the
great department stores, we are told,
are putting in secluded wine rooms tor
the convenience of their bibulous lady
customers. Young girls from good
homes, with and without escorts, may
be seen visiting the so-called respect
able drinking places" in our great
cities in fabulous numbers and in most
cases their parents have no knowl-
edge of their conduct and could not
be made to believe it true. They en-
ter these places at first with shrink
ing timidity, but they sip hard, hot
liquors until they come out bold and
boisterous-th bloom of maidenly
innocence forever brushed from their
broWS.
There are two distinct reasons aside
from a lower standard of home life,
why drinking amongst women is on
the increase. First, The requirements
of business and industrial life do not
rest with such universal exaction upon
women as upon men, hence, they are
not deferred by these requirements.

land owners in the State Is being accepted
on an encouraging scale. The forester has
more and more demands for advice regard
ing the management of woodlands and for
marking the trees that should be cut In
lumber operations. Advice OF this kind
benefits the farmer in that he can grow
a crop Of trees quicker than under ordi-
nary conditions and that he can grow a
greater crop OF timber in the same length
Of time, and by getting in touch with the
market conditions of the State. can gen.
orally secure better prices. Measure
ments made in various natural stands Of
white pine show that from r, 900 to 1000
board feet per acre may be expected in
70 years. At present stumpage prices at
from s. TO $40 per NJ this means a net
value Of from sl15 to $500 per acre. that
is, one acre of such forest cut Off each
year would send boy to college. one
acre would buy one or two horses. five or
siA acres of such pine would build barn,
etc. but a plantation has a sale value be-
fore il Is mature. In order to determine

five per cent. compound interest on his
money when It is 10 years. On the other
hand IL is possible to raise a planta ton
up to 10 wears old for something like so
per acre so that the farmer who plants
now is sure of good results. If ne protects
from fire. Forest planting Is being adopt
ed on large scale in Vermont. Two hum
dred and thirty plantations have been
made by farmers and lumbermen in the
past three wears. and already over 30O. 900
trees have been ordered for the spring Of
1912
The thinning Of Young growth Is
fully as important as planting. The
forester problem is often to make
one tree grow where two grew be-
fore, instead Of two where one grew
before. In other words, trees as they
come up naturally are often too crowd
ed and need to have more opportunity
for light. moisture and the mineral
elements Of the soil
Big lumber companies like the In
ternational Paper company are begin
ming to realize that they can secure a
second growth of valuable trees with
out going to the expense of planting.
II they cut their lumber with regard
to future growth The leaving OF
the necessary number of seed trees Is
very important In all numbering OPP
erations, and the forestry department
is giving a great deal of advice along
this line to practical operators.
