DRINKING INCREASES
AT ENORMOUS RATE
Many Believe the True Remedy Lies
in Education of Coming Genera
tion on the Evils of
Liquor
by n. STEWART

Washington, December 13-(Special) }
The Anti-Saloon league of America, and
the Woman's Christian Temperance union,
two organizations devoted to the cause of
prohibition and the determination of the
saloon, besieged Congress in great num-
bers this week In an endeavor to obtain
the adoption of resolution providing for
constitutional amendment that will in
hibt by law-fundamental-th sale of in
toxicating liquors within the borders of
the United States.
This fight for constitutional prohibition,
which has the backing of many earnest
and prominent citizens of the republic
who are engaged In the warfare against
the liquor menace-serves to bring prom
inently into the limelight and exploit 1t for
the benefit of the uniformed. the exact
situation In the United States as to the
sale of liquor, the gradual shrinkage of
the territory in the entire country in
which liquor is sold-under the authority
of the law; the rapidly increasing senti-
ment in favor of local option, and the
multiplication of the enemies of the open
saloon.
To begin with, the United States govern
like s160,000,O0O annually from the sale OF
liquor. The prohibitiopists declare that
this is blood money" and that the gov
eminent is In the liquor business when
1t legalizes the sale of 1t, and collects a
tax from those who dispense and man
ufacture It,
Liquor Has No Friends
Not one congressman In ten will deny
that there is but one side, theoretically,
TO the liquor question. So far as the BEN
eiits that would acrue to the people, if
the liquor traffic could be destroyed are
concerned, there is no division If it could
be proven to Congress that national pro-
hibition would destroy the liquor traffic
in the United States, or even lead to it in
so years. there would be no doubt but
what some provision would be adopted
that would make up the deficit that would
be created In the treasury by the loss OF
the liquor tax, and the country would
become dry by a national statute.
No one can be found who will defend the
liquor business business, or who will
point ito the habit of drinking as a vir-
tue. The one big question being consid-
cred by Congress Is, can the national gov
ernment perform for the nation th5t
which the state governments have failed
to perform for the states? Can the out
having of the liquor traffic by constitu-
tional amendment put a stop to or even
check the growing consumption OF liquor
by the people? The rapid growth of ter
r1tory that by law prohibits the sale of
liquor in the several states, and the
widespread and nationwide assault on the
open saloon which has driven it from hun
dreds and thousands of towns and vii
lagos throughout the country in the past
10 years-in that time increasing the ter
ritory dry" by law 200 or 300 per cent, has
not been followed by the least diminution
of the consumption of strong drink.

ny of Nashville. Tenn, Tuesday met
with a terrible calamity three miles
east of Glidlen, Iowa. small town
eighty miles northwest of Des

was struck by the Hawkeye express
at crossing a. 10:30

capped serious injury, witnessing the
horrible death OF her two daughters.

the same train. which was brought to
a miraculous stop, and none of the
survivors of the accident are in con.

The express train struck the auto,
mobile squarely in the middle and
Mrs. Dudley was thrown clear of the
tracks, sustaining but minor injuries.
The automobile was completely de.
nlolished and that the entire PARTY
was not instantly killed is a miracle.
1t is believed that the engine Of the
automobile. died as the party were
crossing the tracks and that they did
not notice the fast approaching de-
mon until it was too late, or that the
chauffeur lost control of the car and
was unsuccessful in stopping i. as
they neared the tracks and saw the
approach OF the train. The crossing
sreported to be a clear crossing and
the party could not have failed to see
the approaching train.
The bodies of the two daughters
were terribly mutilated and Mrs. bud.
ley is in a rrecarious condition from
the mental and physical shock.
No arrangements have yet been
made for the shipment of the bodies
of the ewo daughters as they are in
