DRINKING AND PROHIBITION
tho New York Times

From the New York Times.
 According to the report of the com
 missioner of internal revenue, the con-
 sumption of intoxicants in the nation Is rapidly increasing. There has been some reduction in beer drinking, the re- port says, but the increase in the con-
 sumption of whisky is substantial.
 Maps were published early in 1910 showing 470,6o square miles of this country under state prohibition, 1,S36,- IS95 square miles under prohibition by
 local option, and but 1,303,249 square
 miles under license laws; that Is, In
 about one-third of the United States
 the sale of liquor was permitted The
 growth of prohibition territory had been progressively rapid for several years. Yet the total per capita con-
 sumption of intoxicating liquors, ac- cording to the statistical abstract of the United States, rose from 16.5 gall Ions in 1897 to 21Os in 1909, to PISS in 1910, and to 22.79 in 1911.
 The Times asks, not at all in a spirit of hostility to the aims of the prohi-
 bition party, how prohibition can pro- hibit when the amount of liquors drunk steadily increases with the ex- tension of prohibition territory The reply that the liquor interests are still opposing prohibition, and therefore it
 must be effective, is not satisfactory. Prohibition Is effective in destroying vested property interests within the
 prohibition states, rendering valueless the breweries, distilleries, saloons and
 their furnishings. Buy does this not merely force a realignment of the liquor business across state lines, at great economic loss? Can it be that the dwellers within the vast areas wherein liquor selling is illegal are really
 drinking less. while the per capita con- sumption for the whole people has risen so enormously?

"TURGENIEF. THE MAN,

| Philip Stafford Moxom in the North American Review for September. At the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war he believed that the French would triumph and their defeat greatly discon- | certed him; yet he seeh,5 a.so to have had provision of the final result He can even jest in his letters over the illusions of the French. the fall of Metz. "our glorious Bazalne." and the incivility of the Germans who dared to cover with shame the invincble people," He did not share Dostoievskis belief that defeat would regenerate the French nation, and says: With their vanity, their horrot of the truth, l doubt that they will ever rise again" In this, history has justified Dostoievski and refuted Turgeniefs pessi- ruthessness of the Germans in burning Strasburg and condemns the annexation of Alsace.
 Among French literary men his most intimate friend as well as warmest ad- mirer was Flaubert. With him and other literary lights he often c;ned at the Cafe Magny, where Flaubert originated or re- vived the famous literary dinners known by the name of that restaurant. On the street his tall figure, long white hair, and great white beard soon made him popular among the common people. This vexed him. He said: "I am turning into the picturesque old man" His exterior and his origin interested the loungers; his work interested the literary people. Het- gel or Hachette published his great TO- mances, one of them Smoke. with a pre- face by Merimee. Ills last works were the short stories, "A Reckless Character and Clara Miitch."
 In 1880, while in St. Petersburg, severe pains in the back kept him in bed In 1889 he had to abandon his annual jour ney to Spask. On September 3. 1883, he died at Bougival after long period of delirium caused by his terrible suffering. For two days before his death he was unconscious, and finally after two sharp convusons, he passed away. The Viar- dots were by his side. The body was taken to St. Petersburg, where it was re- ceived with the greatest honors. He had once said to Polonski: Wait till we are dead you shall see how they will treat us" His words were fulfilled.

ROosevelt's Popularity

Roosevelt is sure to attract great crowds wherever he speaks said prom inent business man who has always voted the democratic ticket

But Roosevelt is going to prove to be a mighty vote getter in close states Those who thought that the eX- President was back number have stopped talking that way. The real con test is between Roosevelt and Wilson; in other words, Roosevelt is the man Will son will have to beat. At any rate, that is the way l think.
 While I have faith in the democratic standard bearers ability to lead us to victory, Roosevelt is going to give our party several scares between now and November I predict that in October there will be so much Roosevelt hoorah that the gambling element will be reck- oning seriously with Roosevelt's chances of election. Yet. as l have said, Wilson will win.''

Good Restaurant Business

Birmingham is unquestionably ahead
 of other cities of approximately US size in high class restaurants, said man who travels much. "As some one said in an interview in The Age
 Herald recently Birmingham is as well
 off in cafes as Atlanta Is poor in that respect or words to that effect. q am not a knoeker of Atlanta as
 general proposition. Just the reverse.
 Atlanta Is a great city and leads other
 cities in so many things that it's res
 taurant deficiency is all the more re- marked. Atlanta has very high class
 cafe in one of the big clubs. But that's about all"
 Birmingham has several fine club cafes-high class, which means high prices, for there Is no such thing as fashionable restaurant without high figures on the menu card; but outside of the Birmingham clubs there are several cafes that would do credit to New Orleans or New York. The Flor- ence, the Morris, and the Empire are
 certainly in the New York class and
 each seems to be doing big bus mess"

Coneernlur Biblical Phrases

The Literary Digest calls attention to the Bible phrase being used just now as a political shibboleth and says it has had the effect mot only of sending some to search the Scriptures for the exact reference to Armageddon, but has em- phasized the value of such expressive phraseology in both pulpit and public life" The Digest then quotes several in teresting paragraphs from an article in Zion's Herald, the well known Baptist paper published in Boston. The Boston editor paraphrases: We should stand at Armageddon and battle for what is best in expressive speech" Farther along in the editorial is this
 We speak at times of the expressive ness of slang-and it is expressive. It is nervous speech, coined out of the neces- sity of the hour, and because of its ap- parent fitness, used all too much to the detriment of pure English. While a study of the Bible In the public school would not result in the elimination of all slang. nor yet would give us a generation of children quoting Biblical phrases 1t would result in giving to our vocabulary for general use and for important purposes a richness and a virility that it has not at the present time"
