A Blow to Alcoholism.

The fight for temperance has been
long and hard and persistent. Loyal
men and women who have had a love
for their fellowmen and desire for
the right to prevail. have given, work
ed and sacrificed much that this great
curse of our land should be blotted out
The progress has been comparatively
slow because of the difficulty in gett-
ing people to see their duty in this res
pect.
1t seems that economic and business
sense will. eventually, greatly affect
alcoholism. So many catastrophes are
the result of intemperance that the
public will sustain any effort that tends
to remove this cause. The action just
taken by the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad is one of the in
dications that this great curse of alco-
holism is about to receive severe blow
from the leading railroads and in.
dustries.
The new rule of the transportation
department of this railroad reads:
"The use of intoXicants while
on or offduty, or the visiting of saloons
or places where liquor is sold ncapaci.
tates men for railroad service and is
absolutely prohibited. And violation
of this rule by employees will be suf-
ficent cause for dismissal"
This rule is certainly in line with pro.
gress and good sense. The men who
are responsible for the lives of Others
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1912-09-12

should be required to keep themselves
in the best condition to discharge that
responsibility. Such law as the above
should be national in its scope. A man
whose habits are likely to cause him to
endanger the lives of others should as
certainly be restrained in his freedom
as is the manwho is likely to spread
death by means Of contagious disease
or plague.
Have no fellowship with the unfruit-
full works of darkness" ". 21). On our
Western plains there are millions of
loco plants. This plant has almost
precisely the same effect upon horses
ahd cattle that alcohol has upon man.
kind; after once eating it they acquire
a taste for it, and eat more and more
of it until they will eat nothing else.
Yet it impairs their senses, weakens
them in body, causes them to act in
every way as crazy animals, and at
last causes their death. How does it
happen that not all Western stock be-
comes ''locoed''? The reason is that
they will not touch it if they have any
thing else to eat. But the desire for it
is soon acquired after the first taste.
A bounty of twenty dollars ton was
was offered for ''loco." the idea being
to kill it out. But number of avari-
cious persons began raising it for the
sake of the bounty. For this act they
gained the disgust and contempt of all
sensible moral people. And yet, do not
many of these same sensible, moral
people become partners with the liquor
dealers by their manner of vot-
ing.

WRECK OF THE TITANIC

The frtghtful disaster which has
come to the new steamship Titanic,
while on her first voyage GRO the
Atlantic, reminds us that after all,
the greatest work than man a do
is very insignificant when compared
with the great powers of the eIe-
ments.
We spend many months building
the greatest steamship that has ever
been foated. 1t is something which
represents the greatest product OF
the human brain-a floating palace,
some eleven stories high, capable of
carrying 1000 persons, Yet this
wonderful achievement of man is
crushed. like a shell by a great field
of slowly moving ice. The skin OF
many brains and the work OF
months is destroyed by a single con
tact with this great silent floating
mass which it is impossible for NAL
to destroy. After all, how insig.
nifcant we are,

CHAPTER III.
The Fete and MIschlanzs.

I confess that up to this time I had
experienced little interest in the af-
fair. After Valley Forge 1t was hard
for an American soldier to admire
ouch boys play, or to enter into the
spirit of British fun making. Besides
the danger of my position, the fear
Of some slip Of tongue betraying me.
tho knowledge that l was in the very
heart Of the enemy's camp, with grim,
stern duties to perform and q return
journey to accomplish, kept nee nerved
to @ point where / thought Of little
else than my task. But I dared
not remain Indifferent, and, indeed, the
enthusiasm Of my companions became
contagious, and ! joined with them
eagerly. as they hurried forth to the
best point of view. Once there the
sight revealed aroused me to an en-
thusiasm scarcely less than that Of
those crowding about. Few, indeed,
have ever witnessed 30 gorgeous 81
spectacle as that river presented.
Well out in the stream lay the ves-
sells Of war-the Fanny, Roebuck and
Vigilant-together with a long line Of
transports, stretching as far as the
eye could see, flags flying, and decks
crowded with spectators. The pageant
came down with the tide, moving in
three divisions to the inspiring music
of several bands, the oars Of galleys
and barges keeping exact intervals,
As they passed us the officers beside
me named the various occupants. In
the leading galley were Sir William,
Lord Howe. Sir Henry Clinton, the Of
foers OF their suites and some ladies.

Between these were 1atboats, covered
with green cloth, loaded with ladies

bands. Six barges, darting here and
there, kept open space amid tht
swarms Of small boats. Everywhere

cided to begin all over again in the
Convery Place extension matter and
have the legal work done entirely by
the city attorney. This is the official
that should have had charge of this
work In the beginning. AS we IN
derstand 1t, all the money that has
been paid to James s. Wight, as
special attorney, has been wasted, at
least as far as the city Is concerned.
This Is an extravaganza for which
there can be no excuse. 1t has never
been explained Just why the city has
seen fit to pay Mr.. Wight so many
hundreds Of dollars during the past
two or three years for special work
when q city attorney has been prac-
tically idle as far as municipal af-
fairs are concerned.
While 1t Is true the salary Of the
city attorney Is entirely inadequate
If he is to do all the work, 1t would
be far better for the city to put the
salary on a proper basis so that we
may know just how much the legal
department is costing, instead of
paying so small a salary and per
hitting the hiring of special coun-
sci for extra work.
While such q mistake has been
made in the past 1t is gratifying to
know that It has o been rene
died and 1t is to be hoped that the
Convery Place matter so long de-
layed, will be pushed to a satisfactory
conclusion. The taxpayers of Perth
Amboy have no honey to pay for
extra services when an official is al
ready being paid to do the same
work.
