Alcohol Has No Food Value

1t is necessary to surrender the old
idea, so widespread, that alcohol in
small quantities, has a food value,
that its temperate use has any bene-
fit. The experience Of the railroads
has led over SO great railroads to for
bid the use of alcoholic beverage
among their employees. While the
men thought they were being forti-
fed, experience has proved the con-
trary. Science has supplemented ex-
perience by actual and accurate
measurements. If a man drinks one
glass of beer, the day on which he
drinks it his general efficiency will
be lowered on an average of S per
cent. If he takes three glasses OF
beer a day, or the equivalent in light
wine. for II days, his efficiency at
the end Of the II days will be lowered
from 25 to 40 per cent, depending
upon the temperament of the man
and the nature Of the work. III doing
mathematical work, like bookkeeping,
the loss of efficiency goyes above 10
per cent: in memorizing the loss goes
up as high as 20 per cent Thus the
most moderate and temperate drink
ing is harmful No matter in what
quantity taken alcohol remains al
ways a poison.-Hon. r. P. Hobson

prepared statement which he gave
to the press declaring that he was
IN favor OF a compromise candidate
ana specified those candidates that
would be acceptable to him. The
washington Herald of July LIST
printed this statement under the
title Bryan urges compromise.
O'Gorman, Kern Culberson or
James acceptable to Nebraskan to
end deadlock" and in the state
ment he euIogises the accountable
Roman Catholic compromise candi-
date thus: Senator O'Gorman,
New York's member of the commit
tee on resolutions is "a progressive
who has given to his State a dis
tlnct1on of which it has been sadly
in need. He has combined a high
order of intelligence and courage
with sympathtic devotion to the
rights and interests of the common
people" Admitting all this to be
true, the fact still remains that
OGorman is a Roman Catholic. AS
a Catholic, he believes the Pope to
be higher than any temporal power,
1nfallible, supreme and absolute,
and he knows that the Pope's voice
must be obyed above all else, and
that that voice directs that all
Catholics must endeavor to make
America Catholic by changing
American institutions to conform to
the principles of the Church.
therefore, the nomination and cleo
ton of a man holding such un-
American and pro-papal views as
O'Gorman secretly must, would have
been a national calamity, and yet
Bryan was willing to be the arch
promoter in bringing this about, as
he appears to want a Democratic
victory at any cost.

the Democratic Convention, sent in
a vigorous manly protest, but Mr..
Bryan remained silent, and the Car
dinal was there in full regalia-red
coat, red cap and ALL
Instead of rising to the occasion,
Mr. Bryan acted the part of a
mediocre politician, dashed into the
spotlight and attempted to make
mountain, out Of mole hill Alton
b. Parker was proposed as the tenn
porary chairman; Mr.. Bryan imme-
diately seized upon this as a call to
battle and he opposed Parker be-
cause to select him as temporary
chairman would be the wrestling
from the hands of the progressive
Democrats the victory Bryan con-
sidered they deserved. Bryan was
defeated and Parker elected, but his
election did not lose control of the
convention to the progressives, nor
did it prevent the adoption of pro-
gressive platform. Now, Mr.. Brown,
was not this a petty part for Mr..
Bryan to play in the face of greater
opportunities? Was it not unbe-
coming for him to denounce the one
whom four years previously he la
bored industriously to elevate to
the Presidential chair?
Mr.. Brown, you point with pride
at the things Bryan did at the Con-
vention to show that he is anti
Catholic; you refer to his fight
against Murphy, Ryan, Taggart, and
others. Now, did Mr. Bryan fight
these men because they were Catho-
lies, as you appear to make out? If
that was the reason, he has success
fully yelled it from the people, but
you are wrong in Analysing his mo-
tives. He attacked Belmont, Ryan
and Murphy because they repre-
sented Wall Street and the privi-
legged classes; they represent the re-
dictionary elements of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Bryan had not the
slightest intention of attacking any
delegate because he was a Catholic.
Mr.. Bryan doubtless could not, even
under the tortures of the inquisi-
tional rack, be compelled to de-
nounce the Roman Catholic HER
archy. No Mr.. Brown, it was Wall
Street, and not Catholicism, that
Bryan was combating because he
declared that the great issue was
the Peoples Rule against Wall
Street, losing sight of the equally
great. issue of the Peoples Rule
against the Rule of Rome To him
Wall Street was like a red rag to
an enraged bull, and he could see
no other enemy at work undermine
ing our nation than Wall Street,
even though he had suffered defeat
more than once at the hands of the
real enemy--the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy.
The next great blunder made by
Mr.. Bryan was his attempt to sad
die on the Democratic party a Ro
man Catholic as it's candidate, and
his implied pledge to aid in the
election Of that Roman Catholic to
the Presidential chair I refer to
Senator O'Gorman. You will re-
call, Mr.. Brown, that for hours the
Convention was in deadlock and Mr..
Bryan came out with a carefully

and his powerful pen has been stilled
as if paralyzed.
Now, Mr.. Brown, we come to the
blunders which Mr.. Bryan made at
the Democratic Convention. His
first blunder was his failure to
vigorously protest against the open
Ing of the Convention of the great
Democratic party by Cardinal Glib
bons, the highest dignitary of the
Roman Catholic Church in America.
1t will be recalled that Bryan boldly
pointed out and named certain dele
gates as undesirable and attempted
to have them withdraw from the
Convention. With the same bold
ness, with far better grace, he could
have objected to Cardinal Gibbons
having anything to do with the Con
vention.
Just imagine the effect Of a pro-
test from Bryan setting forth the
Cardinals unfitness in an indictment
like this. Mr.. Cardinal you are un-
fit to take part in our Convention.
because you and your Church are in
favor Of the election of Taft and
openly declare for him. You are UNI
tit because you and your Church
nave denounced principles which the
progressive Democrats have been
advocating for the restoration of the
Peoples Rule, such as the Initia-
tive, Referendum, Recall and popu-
lar election of senators. You are
unfit because you and your church
political machine forbid your peo-
pie freedom of choice of candidates
and directs them to vote for that
candidate most likely to be a toolAn
your hands. You are unfit because
you and your Church condemn our
public schools, while we believe
them to be the bulwark of American
liberty You are unfit because you
and your Church believe in the UNI
ion Of Church and State the suppress
sion of free speech, free press, and
freedom Of conscience. You are un-
fit because you and your Church are
ende Avoring to obtain appropria-
lions Of public money for sectarian
purposes. You are unfit becar
you do not believe in our principles
of Republican Government, and are
endeavoring to obey the Pope's
command to model our Government
latter the principles Of the true
church." the principles of the true
church" being that all authority in
Government descends from God
through the Pope, whereas our
American idea is that all power re-
sides in the people ana ascends
from them to public officials. You
are unfit because you and your
Church are opposed to the political
emancipation of women, and be-
cause you are opposed to any law
restricting the immigration to our
shores of illiterate foreigners. You
are unfit because you and your
Church are laboring to gain control
of our National Congress in order
that the Church may come to it's
own" which means nothing less than
union with State.
Had Mr.. Bryan thus contested
with the National Democratic Com:
mittee the propriety Of the Conven-
ton being opened by such a cOnspic-
uOus example of un-Americanism as
Cardinal GibbOns-he would have
been acclaimed by millions of
American citizens as the great de-
fender of Democratic principles and
individual rights, and pcsterity
would have placed him in the hall
of fame with our illustrious Wash
ington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lin
coin.

written by N. J. Brown, of Bisbee,
Arizona, wherein he criticises a con-
tributing reader of your paper for
losing faith in Bryan, and for fail
Ing to see him as compatriot in
the present uprising against the Ro
man Catholic Hierarchy in it's per-
nicious activities in our political
affairs. Mr.. Brown attempts to
make one believe, without Offering
proofs, that Mr.. Bryan is really en-
gagged in the conflict against the po-
l1tlcal activities of Rome. Of Rome's
regard of Bryan, Mr.. Brown says,
THE Romanists know a foe worthy
of their steel and they have always
dreaded the election of Bryan be-
cause they well knew that he is men
tally too great to be fooled, that
he is too courageous to be bulldoZed,
and that he is too patriotic and hon
est to De used by them for any of
their nefarious purposes"
1t is proper to ask, Mr.. Brown, if
Rome so breads Mr.. Bryan, what is
the cause? If they dread him, he
can expect no favors from them.
Then why does he not come out
boldly in the open and denounce the
Roman Catholic Hierarchy for it's
political activities against our insti-
tutions? Of all men, Mr.. Bryan
should be the most conspicuous
combatant against the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy, for he has the
greatest provocation, because, as
you say, he has been defeated more
than once through the work of the
Hierarchy. He knows this, for IN
der the pique of defeat in 1908, he
declared that it was the Roman
Catholic vote that elected Taft.
by act or word, done nothing to
show that he is combating Rome, or
that he believes it necessary.
You seem to know what he has
done to oppose Rome, else you would
not rush so impetuously to his de-
Tense. You do not, however, di-
vulge your knowledge of his anti
Romanish deeds. You have not
given a single instance where Bry-
an, by writing, speech or act, has
antagonized the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy, or even have you shown
that Bryan has realization that
Rome in her political activities here
is a menace. Can you, Mr. Brown,
tell where your beloved Bryan"
stands on the question: "Is the Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchy the dead
lest menace to our American insti-
tutions?" There are many periodi-
Gals based on the belief that
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy
is such a menace and their
readers number hundreds of
thousands, yet Mr.. Bryan apparently
has not awakened to the menace,
for he has not given utterance to
single thought to show where he
stands on this vital subject of daily
increasing Importance.
1t is to be hoped that you will
give us some light on Mr.. Bryan's
true position, for many Of us are
losing faith in him, and as for my
self, my admiration for him was no
less ardent or my enthusiasm no
less great, than yours, until some
thing awakened me to the great
something was the denunciation,
last fall, by Cardinal Gibbons, of the
popular reforms sweeping this coun-
try for the restoration of the Peo-
pies Rule against the rule by politi-
Gal nfstchines and by party bosses.
Mr.. Blown, of course you know that
Bryan has been advocating the mi
tiatiye, Referendum, Recall and
popular election of Senators. The
