ONE CENT POSTAGE.

Req. Bartlett who has been a
member OF the house Of represen-
tatives from Georgia almost contin-
uously since 1882, and during his
tenure OF ONCE has become famil-
lar with conditions surrounding the
Post Ofice Department, has taken
up the fight for one cent letter pos
tage because he believes that the
people Of the United States are
entitled 10 a lower rate. He recent
ly presented a bill in Congress call
ing for the one cent rate.
He states that: For the fiscal year
ending June 3Oth, 1912, the total ex-'
penses Of the Post once Department
were over s2is,5O0,OOO. The total
receipts from all classes Of maa and
the money order systems were s2i6,-
10000. or this, first class mail
produced about si70,0OO,0OO, or over
20 per cent Of that furnished by all
revenue producing mail-this de-
spite the fact that its weight was
only about one-eighth OF the total.
First class mail is carried at the
rate OF two cents for letters weigh
ing one ounce, and one cent for pos
tai cards. OF which there are over
one hundred and sixty 10 the pound.
As most letters are light. and aver

this rate is immensely profitable TO

The Teacher and the Temperance Question
Prof. John Smith Begins Series of Articles Temperance
Results of Alcoholism
The Cost of the Liquor Traffic

heather nation not knowing the val
ue Of money such thing would not
seem so astounding; but in our case
IL is hard to believe that such a large
amount of money passes across the
counter for alcoholic drinks. We
spend about $SOO,OOO,OOO each year
for tobacco; about Si35, 600 600 annu-
ally supplies us with boots and
shoes; the same amount pays for the
bread that we use. We are inter-
ested enough in our children TO pay
out considerably over S30O,0O0,OO0
for public education. Think of it,
II each individual in the entire
country had TO pay an equal amount
Of our public education bill, that
amount would be only about 1915:
but if each had TO pay an equal part
Of the liquor bill he would have to
pay about $1,000. And this condition
exists in the United States of Amer
ical For our churches we spend
about Si65,000,0OO annually; for for
eign missions we spend something
like S9,0O00O0 each year. II seems
Incredible that there should be so
much difference between our foreign
mission budget and our drink bill.
s9,00O,000 to carry the gospel to for
eign lands, and S2,000,OO0.OO0 to serve
the Devil here at home. But people
are usually willing to pay more for
what they want most.
Now the foregoing is a bare recital
of the cost in terms of dollars and
cents. You will agree with me that
this represents but small amount
of the real cost. Or if you don't
agree with me now, you will after
reading the rest of this article. This
two billion dollars does not include
the number of homes that are
wrecked; nor the number of human
lives lost; nor the number of moth
ers whose happiness is destroyed.
II does not include the number of
young men whose manhood and self
respect are destroyed nor the num-
Der of young women whose virtue is
ruined. II does not represent the
amount of suffering that helpless
children in drunkards' homes must
undergo nor the amount of shame
and disgrace brought upon the whole
communities by those much given to
drink.
There are some things too precious
to have price of dollars put upon
them. What would you take to see
your mothers happiness destroyed?
How much money would you take
in exchange for the life of your faith
er? What sum of money would re-
present TO you the value of the vir-
tue and purity of your sister? These
are things whose value cannot be
reekoned in terms of dollars and
cents. And yet the drink traffic de.
strOys every one of these precious
things, and many more besides, and
still il lives. Every year hundred
thousand homes are made unhappy
by drink; every year hundred
thousand mothers suffer the shame
and the disgrace and often the ply
steal pain that drunken husbands
heap upon them; every year tens OF
thousands of young men have their
manhood wrecked by alcohol; every
year tens of thousands Of girls once
as sweet and pure as your own sis
ter are seduced and ruined and led
into life of unspeakable shame
while under the influence of alcohol
or by men who are themselves
