Drinking in Russia

Although statistics show that ac-
cording to the quantity of alcohol con-
sumed, Russia occupies the eighth
place in the list of misunderstanding
nations, it indisputably bears the palm
for excess in regard to degrading hab-
its engendered by drunkenness, be-
cause in more civilized countries the
consumption of alcohol is mostly at
meals. In Russia people drink at all
times, and the mass of the people are
so ignorant that their drinking man
ners are degrading and noisy. No one
who has not seen the drunkenness in
a Russian village can possibly imagine
what it is like A Russian. proverb
says, "a mujik (villager) may cease
to drink for one year or two years,
but when he does drink, he drinks
everything away" And in fact, the
Russian people consume yearly TO-
100000 pounds sterling of brandy
(vodka), besides wine and beer. Dur
ing the first anti-alcohol congress,
which was attended by many from all
parts of Russia, and also from other
countries, Mr.. Shingarev, member

A Dangerous Scheme

Papers from every state in the union
show that the liquor forces are schem-
ing to have delegated to cities the
entire control of the liquor question.
Remembering that saloons have been
driven from the rural district, nearly
all small towns and cities, the reason
for this scheme is clear. 1t is subject
to these fundamental objections CD
The delegation of the police power of
the state to cities, which the supreme
courts of states and nation have uni
formly held cannot be done. (2) 1t
would practically exempt saloon cities
from the operation of state police
laws, while the taxing power of the
state would still operate throughout
the state, to gather money to punish
crime created in such cities. Cd 1t
would mean the creation of such con-
ditions in saloon cities as to make it
impossible for them to ever rid them
selves of saloons. This latter thing is
the real purpose of the scheme, which
is being worked in Texas right now.
Looked at from a purely economical
standpoint, it is one of the most in
sidious and dangerous schemes ever
concocted Good citizens had better
fight it in time.-Texas Home and

of the Duma, gave interesting statis-
tics of popular drinking. He asserted
that alcoholism depends much upon
social conditions; that is to say, the
poverty of the laboring classes. Up
to the age of fourteen among the mid
die classes 3 per cent drink; among
the laboring classes, per cent. Up
to the age of twenty-five among the
middle classes 70 per cent, and among
the laboring classes, ooH per cent.
Nearly all laborers drink vodka. The
housing question has also a great bear
ing on the subject. The drinkers
among those living in one room are
II per cent and of those occupying
only portion of room 81 per cent
They commence to drink very young.
An investigation among the scholars
of the schools in Moscow and ST.
Petersburg disclosed the fact that in
Moscow 70 per cent use alcohol, and
in St. Petersburg, 90 per cent. In the
latter city "a per cent drink to excess.
Our Russian customs have also great
influence. 1t is terrible indeed to real
ize that the orthodox priesthood en-
courages the people to drink at all
religious rites (births, baptisms, feast
days.. weddings and funerals.) A
Russian cannot marry, bury, or bap-
tie without alcohol. The following
figures are interesting: The orthodox
and Catholics drink much, the Mo-
hammedans less and the Jews still less,
and it appears that among the ortho-.
dox 800 per thousand die in infancy,
among the Jews 40, and among the
Mohammedans rs. Alcohol is a great
cause of suicide. In Moscow IS per
cent of suicides are due directly or
indirectly to this cause, in Kiev IS
per cent and in St. Petersburg SO per
cent.-Temperance News.

PLAN a REIGN
OF TERROR?

Denver, Colo, Dec. 2S.-The as
sassination of Governor John +, Sha
froth. the dynamiting of Denver
courts, and the killing of policemen
were among the methods urged in
speeches by Frank, Jacob and Arthur
Rice, brothers and members OF the
Industrial Workers Of the World, ac
cording to witnesses in the municipal
court here today. The brothers were
on trial charged with using abusive
language toward policemen. Nine
witnesses were examined and the
case was continued until Monday, to
give the defendants time to present
testimony on their side. Arthur, who
became violent in court and abused
witnesses, was fined $40 for contempt
and sent to Jail. His brothers were
released on their own recognizance.
The Rice brothers, who took part in
Industrial Workers disturbances on
the Pacific coast, were arrested

What is the return for our vic
tories?"
Doesn't the bloodshed by 100000
glorious victims deserve some other
! reWard?'
( 1T is a mockery and not serious
conference We're some of the sharp
CALCULATIONS which crossed the picture
sallery in ST. James palace.
After the conference had decided to
adjourn until Monday, the conversa-
ton became even more animated.
Rechad Pasha was the only calm per-
son present. With his right hand in
his trouser pocket and his left hand
caressng his bead as though hiding
a smile, he stood without uttering
word.
Todays meeting. which might ap-
pear to superficial observers to be,
bordering on rupture, must, accord
ing to qualified opinion, be interpreted
otherwise. Both sides, it is pointed
out, have now laid down their maxi
mum aspirations and neither of them
expects to see the maximum demands
realized.
The members of the Balkan league
protested during the meeting that the
Ottoman suggestions did not recognize
the facts of the situation which had
resulted from the war and gave scant
consideration TO the territorial claims
of the allies. One of the Bulgarian
delegates, speaking to the Turks,
said:
you must remember that the allied
troops are still at the Tchatalja lines.
Unless you are willing to negotiate on
the basis of dismemberment of Euro
paan Turkey, any discussion will be
futile
The Ottoman delegates staunchly
upheld the reasonableness of the pro
posals, but promised to transmit the
observations of the Balkan ENJOYS to
Constantinople and to give an an
swer on Monday.

FISHER HOLDS
UP BIG LAND
PATENTS

Washington. Dec 2S.-By the joint
action today of the war, interior and
agricultural departments, extensive
land patents of the International Po-
wer and Manufacturing company OF
the state of Washington, were held up
because of the belief OF Secretary Fls-
her. as expressed in statement, that
the company was trying to "freA
self from all control by the govern
ment by securing patents to lands un'
der the guise of mining claims or by
railroad script filings in combination
with a special dam license.
The company was planning to build
a series of power plants which 1t was
estimated would produce 20o,0G0 horse
power, having value of from $1,000
600 to $S,0OO,O00 a year. The power
site is in the so-caled ~ canyon OF
the Pend d'Oreille river situated
partly in the Kaniksu National forest
and partly in a power site reserve sci
aside by President Taft.
Secretary flSHef Std'eiieH' soy -
that many so-called mining claims
have been located along the river IN
the national forest and within the po'
wer site reserve" and that mo attempt
seems to have been made to press the
mining claims for patent, the COM
pany apparently relying solely upon
the special act licensing the dam
Plans filed with the war department
show that the company would use the
public lands in the national forest for
flowage and public lands in the power
site reserve for the same purpose ano
for conduits and power house.

DIFFICULTY
CONFERENCE ADJOURNED
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING

London, Dec. 2S.-"There terms dc
not form even the basis for neGotia
tions," was the unanimous outcry OF
the peace enyoys of the allied Balkan
nations today after Rechad Pasha, the
chief Turkish delegate, had read the
reply he had received from Constan
tinople to his request for Instructions
WHAT TURKS WANT.
The proposals presented by the
Ottoman delegates Were
'First--The principality of Adrian
ople to remain under the direct ad'
ministration of Turkey.
Second Macedonia to be con,
verted into a principaity with Salon
Xxi as its capital. The principality TO
be under the sovereignty of the sultan
of Turkey, but governed by prince
chosen by the Balkan allies and nom
mated by the sultan of Turkey. This
prince to be protestant and from n
neutral state.
"Third-Albania to be autonomous
under the sovereignty of the sultan
and governed by prince of the i'm
perial Ottoman family who is to be
chosen for term of five years with
the possibility of renewal of his ap-
pointment.
"Fourth-Al the islands in the
Aegean sea to remain Turkish.
"Fifth---The Cretan question not to
be one for the decision of the confer
ence, as it is matter between Tur.
key and the great European powers ;"
The sitting of the conference today
assumed quite different aspect from
that of its last meeting, at which the
Servian envoy read the terms offered
by the allies.
Today, even while Rechad Pasha
was engaged in reading the Turkish
propositions the Balkan delegates
could not refrain from manifesting
their astonishment and Indignation by
means of gestures and expressive ex-
carnations.
