ALCOHOL AND EFFECTS ON MORTALITY

Dsmssing all sentiment and prejudice and
making sincere effort to put his inquiry on scien-
tiHc, actuarial foundation, Edward Bunne Phelps
has been studying the part that alcohol plays in
making up the annual death total of this nation
He concludes that 900 deaths are caused annually
by excessive sse of alcohol just about per cent
of the total.
There is nothing in Mr.. Phelps work to indicate
whether he is prohibonist or an anti. He has
undertaken merely to act the statistican to get the
facts and set them forth so plainly that whoever
studies the same question may know just how he
reached his conclusions, and may judge them for
himself. He began with the general mortality CEN
sus Of the country for 1908. Then he secured from
three of the largest life insurance companies their
detailed statistics deaths from alcohol. To these
insurance statistics he applied the various modifying
factors necessary in projecting them over the entire
population of the country. The insurance companies
get the good" risks they do not take confirmed
alcoholics, though they have to carry persons who
become such after being insured. They carry
much greater proportion of men than Of women
whereas women slightly exceed men in number.
With all these elements weighed and duly con-
sidered as to their modifying effect the problem
Mr.. Phelps reaches the conclusion that has been
indicated. 1t is believed by good authorities to be
the most scientific analysis of the question ever made
in this country, and the totals impress one as mod
crate. When the population of the country was
half what it is now, there was commonly accepted
temperance-platform assertion that 10000 people
died of drink every year. or twice as big percentage
as Mr.. Phelps finds. Other estimators have placed
alcohols contribution all the way from IA to a. per
cent and the latter utterly ridiculous figure seems
to have served the purpose of platform harangue
quite as we'll as reasonable statement would have
done.
Five per cent Of deaths from alcohol, it must be
remembered, means vastly more than S per cent
loss in impaired ambitions and energies in broken
careers, in privation and poverty imposed on help
less dependents. The actual percentage of social
loss would be lowest at the point of deaths caused
1t is, therefore, shown that the real burden which
the drink habit imposes the community is so great
that if it could be lifted entirely it would radically
improve social and economic conditions of the
whole country.

I1lty His voluntary retirement from
the chair there was a matter Of deep
regret to the management Of the IN
Istitntion
The year he retired from the uni
Iversity. col. Jackson returned TO
Harrisburg and established the PIN
nickinnick coal mine here. This
was one Of the frst mines in this
section and 1t has been a paying one
ever since, the property belongIns
to the Jackson estate and being now
operated by the Consolidation Coal
Company on the royalty plan. The
! FIRST operator Of 1t was known as the
IPinnickihnick Coal Company and
Col, Jackson was president Of the
Btbmpany.
In the spring of 1901 Col Jack
son and others as the West Virginia
Short Line Railroad Company with
Col jackson its president completed
the Short Line railroad between
oiarksburg and New Martinsville, a
distance Of sixty miles through a
rich oil, gas, coal and farming re-
gton. Within a few months after its
Opening, this line Of railway was
absorbed by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company and is now pay
ing part of that company's system
OF lines. The absorption was never
assented to by Col. jackson will
inglytas he built it for an independ-
ent line and hoped at a future day
to operate a complete competitive
trunk line in this part Of the state.
The same year the Short Line was
completed Col. Jackson and others
established the first sheet and tin
plate mills here under the name Of
the Jackson Iron and Tin Plate
Company Later the, mills were
purchased BY the Phillips Sheet
and Tin Plate Company which en-
larged them and has operated them
ever since.
Several years previous Col. Jack
son and others founded the Traders
National Bank and he became and
continued its president until it was
merged with the Peoples Banking
and Trust Company into the present
Union National Bank. Soon after
the founding of the Traders Bank,
which marked a new era in local
banking business, Col. Jackson and
others built. the Traders hotel build
ing and gave to Clarksburg its first
modern hotel.
While engaged in building the
Short Line railroad Col. Jackson
and others optioned and took up a
large acreage of valuable coal lands
situated along the road and incor-
lporated the Tenmile Coal and Coke
Company. Later Col. jackson .ac-
