SCIENCE is AGAINST ALCOHOL.
United States Government Publishes
Some Valuable Papers Read by
Sincere Temperance Workers.

Some valuable papers read by Dr.
F. D. Crothers and others at the
semi-annual meeting of the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Other Drug Narcotics held at Wash
ington, have been published by the
United States government in pau4ph-
let form. Or. Crothers, who is the
superintendent of the Walmet Lodge
hospital, Hartford. Conn, and an
earnest worker for TEN perance, con
tributes a suggestive paper on The
Future Of the Alcoholic Problem"
There are enough facts in this book
let gathered by experts, damaging TO
the drink traffic to destroy IT many
times over. Here is one of them:
The Naoris of New Zealand, accord
ing to Captain Cook, were at the time
when he first visited the island almost
perfect in physique. Even the old
men, he statea, possessed the endur-
ance of youth. They numbered then
over 1870, 900 Alcohol and tobacco
found their way to them as the island
became inhabited by the white race
Men, women and children began to
drink and smoke, In their innocence
believing it a blessing Today the
Maoris are a race of physical and
moral degenerates, numbering only
Al 900" Thousands Of tipping mem
bers of the white race are as truly,
If not as visfbly degenerating.

GOVERNOR FOR LOCAL OPTION
But Believes General Prohibition Not
Feasible In state.

Governor Goldsborough has joined the
ranks of those who through questions
submitted by William H. Anderson,
superintendent of the Maryland Anti
Saloon League, have been led to declare
for local option as a fundamental
principle" and in favor of the enact
meat Of a general local option bill at the
next St ssion of the Legislature.
With his declarations upon these
points, Governor Goldsborough couples
a statement that he does not believe
that general prohibition is feasible in
this State under present conditions, 3"
to which he adds:
81 believe that public sentiment in
Maryland is not ripe for such drastic
legislation. The presence Of a great
dominating city whose inhabitants com
prise every nationality with their
various traditions and habits. would
seem to make this unwise. Premature
prohibition not supported by public sen
timent is followed by reaction which
unnecessarily disturbs business, and
also does great injury to the cause Eof
temperance, in the interest Of winch
such laws are enacted "
Governor Goldsborough's declaration
upon this subject is contained in a letter
to Mr.. Anderson under the date of July
8, written in reply to one in which Mr.
Anderson asked for the Governor S
views upon whether a local option bill
should be passed by the next Legislature
and whether the Republican party
should declare for the enactment Of
such bill in its platform. In his re-
ply the Governor says that in his opinion
local option is not properly a party
question, but conditions might arise
when one Of the principal parties might
adopt plank IN its platform extend
ing to all localities of the State alike
