DRINKING IN COLONIES

equivalent of drunk as a lord" is ''as drunk as a white man." It is true that there is less drinking among most Asi- atics than among European colonists in Asia. The Koreans might be cited as an exception to the rule. Drunkenness is rather common among all classes of them in the cities. The Filipinos are more temperate than the Americans in the Philippines. The native liquor distilled from the "nipa' palm is potent. The na- tive drinks it in such small quantities that it does him little harm. The Amer ican who tries to drink it as he would straight whisky finds that "in the end 1t stingeth like serpent and biteth like an adder" and the way to the end is not long. When the Americans brought their civilization to Manila the saloon element fondly expected to find the Filipino as ready a buyer of American drinks as the American Indian is inclined to be. They saw a golden harvest in the opportunity to sell to a dense population unrestricted by the laws that to an extent keep the Indian away from the bar. The Filipino would be free to go his unfettered way as follower after strong drink" But the Filipinos seem to have stuck to "bino'' and temperance, despite the blandish- ments of the American bar, and there is more cocktail drinking in polite circles in Manila than there is in any one of the minor American cities which have joined in contributing the larger measure of it's American population.
 Climate cannot be charged with the desire of colonials for alcohol. The desire is about the same in the, hot and humid tropical colonies and plateau regions. where the enjoyment of an open fire under the equator is boasted of as proof of fine climate. Perhaps lack of va riation in amusements may be considered. There is an abundance of social life in colonies, but there Is no opera; the thea tre is somewhat worse than indifferent; the picturesqueness of native life soon ceases to occupy the mind of the so- journer and has long since ceased to in terest the average resident. There are ennui, nostalgia and alcohol!
 The uniformity of conditions existing in various far away possessions might be suggestive to Europeans and Americans who look upon those, to them, unexplored regions as offering more of the compen- tunities, than are offered at home. A country which drives the sober to drink is aside from the question of the i'll ef- fects of intemperance, not one which the sober should soberly hear a-callin."

A TEXAS MASTERPIECE.

When Judd Mortimer Lewis wrote The Old Wash Place." he did himself proud and the poem was in such demand that a special art edition was published in Houston for distribution over the coun- try. We have received from Mir Lewis an edition de luxe copy of his poem, which not only pleases the heart. but the eye as well. The typographical work is ex- quisite, while the sentiment of The Old Wash Place" appeals very strongly to southern readers. Nothing that Judd Lewis has done in a long time has at tracted so much attention as his tribute to a Dixie mother In war time.

ROAD ANXIOUS
To BUILD

The committee in charge of the u

following letter from the General
Manager of the C. NJ. & st, P. Ry.,
under date of February 18th
Referring to the matter of depot
facilities at Grand Rapids and parti-
cularly with reference to Union De-
pot:
What. if any progress has been
made in connection with the Union
Station matter? If there are no
prospects for accomplishing a u
Mon Station our company is anx-
ious to go ahead with the construc-
ton of it's independent station; in
fact, we We're. ready to proceed with
tie construction of our station last
fall and it would have been complet-
ed early winter if we had not post
poned the work on request that we
do SO until the matter of a Union
Station could be determined"
AT its meeting last week the Com
mercial Club decided to abandon the
Union Depot project and appointed
a committee to look after the mat
ter of independent depots and the
grounds about them,
The committee is pleased to know
that the St. Paul road is ready to
proceed without urging, and our CT
items will appreciate their attitude
in the matter
The committee had already writ
ten to the General Manager of the
G. NJ. & St. P Ry stating that the
idea of a union depot had been Civ
en- up. The letter written by the
committee and the letter written by
the General Manager crossed in the
mail. 1t is now certain that the G.
NJ. & ST. P. Ry. Co. will build a new
depot here this spring or summer.
Pressure will be brought to bear
on the 500 Line and an effort made
to get them to build new depot to
take the place of the shack that they
are now using. The c. & n w. Ry
Co. will be approached with sugges-
tons to modernize their passenger
station. If the other roads will fol
low the good example set by the c.

PUBLIC SERVICE

public service institutions may not be

indeterminate permit from the state
is held by a private company The
case Of the Calumet Service company
in which an Injunction restraining
the city Of Chiffon from building
lighting service plant was granted
by the lower court, was decided in
favor of the corporation.
The above decision is Of consider
able local interest. The Electric &
Water Co. have an underestimate
permit and therefor the city Of Grand
Rapids could not put in a plant here
if they wanted to- This decision
disposes of our local trouble.
