and is now $4,000. We have only IA
prisoners for every 5000 population.
Eight counties In the state have no
prisoners in the penitentiary, nine
counties have but n each, and 10
counties have but two each. Out OF
so counties, AZ have no poorhouses,

THE VOICE OF SCIENCE.

Another solar plexus blow has been
dealt the liquc- traffic. The a~lienists
and neurologists OF the United States,
assembled in convention IL Chicago,
adopted resolutions condemning alco-
holic beverages and recommending
that the various state legislatures take
steps to eliminate their use.
1T has been definitely established"
this body of scientists affirmed, that
alcohol when taken into the system
acts as a definite poison to the brain
and other tissues, and that the effects
of this poison are directly or indirect
ly responsible for a large proportion
Of the Insane, epileptic, feeble-minded
and other forms OF mental, moral and
physical degeneracy."
They unanimously resolved: THAT
organized science should initiate and
carry on a systematic, persistent pro.
paganda for the education of the pub.
lie regarding the deleterious effects Of
alcohol" And further, THAT the med
ical profession should take the lead in
securing adequate legislation to the
ends herein specified"
The report of the committee on the
prevention Of insanity included the fol.
lowing resolution; THAT we recon
mend to the proper state authorities
the absolute control of the sale of al.
cohol." II was adopted with little dis.
c%ussion.
According TO DR.. Bayard Holmes,
professor Of surgery In the Chicago
College of Physicians and Surgeons,
this is the first time on record in this
country that a medical convention has
officially pronounced alcoholism to be
n positive factor in insanity, and such
action is bound to have far.reaching
Influence.

PROVED WONDER OF THE PAST
Jews Reasoning Was at Least as
Logical al Was That Of His
Greek Friend.

This is a new stock exchange story
regarding an encounter between a
Greek and a Jew, which deals with
telegraphy.
Have you heard" said the Greek.
"of the wonderful excavations at Ath.
ens?"
NO" replied the Jew, what about
them?"
oh" replied Dimitricoplous, at
20 yards they came across copper
wire"
Well" said Levi, what OF it?"
DO you not see" answered the
Greek. that this proves that the an
cient Greeks knew all about toleg-
raphy?"
The jew pondered. THAT" he re-
marked, lis not so wonderful as the
excavations at Jerusalem. There.
at 80 yards they found nothing"
Well" said the Greek, what is
there In that?'
oh triumphed the Jew. that
proves that the ancient Jews knew all
about wireless te~legraphy.'

BIG CORPORATION PROTESTS.

The Pittsburgh Steel company has
protested against licensed saloons in
Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania,
because of its $3.50 employees. 1t says
that SO per cent of mill accidents are
directly or indirectly attributable to
liquor. The company further says that
at least one-tenth of its pay roll goes
for services not rendered, because
liquor makes the laborers less efficient,
and that at least 20 per cent of the
money paid its men is spent for liquor
and lost for support of their families.

BACK WITH The SALOON"


,By LUCIA FAXoN ADDITION, OF the
National w. C. T. U. Labor Depart
ment. In the Union signal.)
In connection with the national
movement to prevent Industrial acci.
dents, etc, we find a crusade, Back
with the saloon" This crusade was
resolved upon, It seems, at a session
Of the Foundrymen's association con-
terence held last October. 1t is truly
significant-a straw telling the way OF
the wind. A committee was appoint.
ed which completed will represent
every state. 1t will enlist the co
operation OF the governors, state leg
lslatures and license commissioners.
Thomas d. West, manager Of the
Steel Foundry company of Cleveland.
chairman Of this committee, In a re
cent article In The Survey CDecem-
Der 20) gives conclusive arguments
why the slogan, Back with the
saloon" is "a safety first measure"
He states that the very fact that sal
oons cluster round Industrial plants,
especially near the entrances and eX
its, demonstrates that the patronage
OF the factory hands is greatly priced.
Tipplers among these men r bound
to be less cautious than others even
though employed In dangerous trades,
he declares, adding that saloons near
establishments having machinery are
prime contributing factors to the acct
dents occurring and that this fact
alone should interest every manufac-
turer, society, state and municipal au-
thority nov taking active part In our
nations crusade of safety first"
Think OF the inconsistency OF com.
pensation laws making employers IL
able to the payment Of heavy in
demnity while at the same time our
laws license saloons to be located next
door to factories to sell employees
drink that weakens their limbs and be-
fuddles their brains thus, without
doubt, making them more liable to ac-
cidents that all the safety appliances
In the world could not prevent.
