A BLACK EYE
FOR ALCOHOL
II Is Said to Increase Insanity
CriminaIity and Mortality
Some Facts.

a systematic investigation, instituted
by the Bavatian Government, into the
relation between alcoholism and crimi-
nality, brought to light some interesting
data In 1910 1854 convictions were OBJ
tanned against persons violating the law
whose derelictions were directly referable
to intoxication or to chronic alcoholism.
One hundred and ninety of these indi-
viduals were chronic alcoholics and IA
per cent of all those convicted were
under the influence of drink when COM
mitting the offenses charged against
them. Over half these offenses were
crimes against the person-the infiction
of dangerous bodily injuries seeming to
be a special prediction of drinkers.
Every third offense of this character
could be referred to alcoholism. Only a
small proportion of crimes against prop
erty were committed under the influence
of drink. The vital connection between
insanity and alcohol is illustrated anew
by statistics from Kansas, a Prohibition
state. Whereas in almost every part of
the world the increasing ratio of mental
disease is causing alarm, in Kansas the
proportion of insanity is apparently
steadily declining In 1904 commitments
to the asylums for the insane amounted
to Sc. 2 per 100, 900 of the population. In
1910 the number had fallen to 42.3 and
in 1911 to 1873 per 100, 900. The mem
bers of the State Board of Control and
the asylum officials credit this satisfactory
condition of affairs to the stricter enforce
ment ofthe prohibition laws and the con-
sequent diminution in the quantity of

FURTHER ADVANCE OF SIM
GLE TAX IN CANADA

The Single Tax has become an estab-
lished institution in Western Canada as
far as its application to municipalities is
concerned. All important cities and
towns in British Columbia and Alberta
have adopted it. The time is now ripe
for its application to provincial affairs and
this has been recognized by the govern
ment of British Columbia. In his bud
get speech, the Finance Minister, Hon
orable Price Ellison outlined the gov
ernment's plans as follows

THE Investigations into the ques-
tion of the low wage paid to women
in America have brought out the close
relationship between the low wage
and the social evil. But if there is
the darkness of tragedy here, there
is also the light of heroism know
girls who have lived twelve in
room, on twelve mattresses, because
their earnings did not permit them
better sleeping accommodations, and
who have lived for three years at a
stretch on rye bread and olive OIL
unless invited out for a meal |
know girls who have simply paid for
the space of half bed during the
night when the same bed was not
only shared during the night with
another girl, but had been used by
two other girls during the day, these
other girls, night workers. know
girls who take it as an everyday
matter-of-fact experience of working
girl life that they should daily go
without their luncheons. | know
girls who have entered a saloon be-
cause they could there get a bowl of
soup as well as a glass of beer for five
cents, receiving in that bowl of soup
better nourishment than any other
expenditure of such five cents could
bring them. Iknow other girls, who
with equal "matter-of-factness,
never think of spending money for
carfare or lnnches or laundry or out
ings, and never dream of earning
enough to make life even halfway
decent and comfortable or giving a
a chance for any realization of aspira-
ton or ideals or education-or sweet
ness of fresh air in the mountains or
by the sea-and yet these girls by the
tens of thousands i'll the face of such
constant denial of all that makes life
worth while, have held their woman-
hood intact and protected its integ-
rity. To the courage, the grit, the
ineness of character all can testify
who know intimately the daily life of
the working girls. But well may
we question the civilization, the dem
ocracy, the Christianity of a COM
munity tolerating such conditions.
We are demanding in the everyday
life of our working girls the stuff out
of which heroes and martyrs are
made, The question of the wage is
not whether a girl can or cannot
hold her own in the lace of suffering
and poverty and temptation; but
whether any able-bodied, intelligent
young woman is to put all the years
of her girlhood and womanhood, all
the possibilities of the joy of her
motherhood, in jeopardy because she
is giving her all in service without
receiving sufficient remuneration to
make possible decent nutrition, de-
cent clothing, decent living condi
tions for herself-conditions making
for the education and development
of all the fine powers hidden and

MAN WHO LIVES UNDER

Just allow me to say few things
about the single tax as it is now over
here on this side. We have the sim
gle taxation and it works justice to
all. Here l have piece of land and
a rich man has land and stock and
he only pays the same amount of tax
per acre on land equally valuable.

Got Into Band Wagon.

With special emphasis Cooke denied
that he held out against the unanimous
nomination of Mr.. Wilson. In his state
ment he admitted freely that he went tc
Baltimore as a Harmon man and worked
and voted consistently for his state s
favorite son in the convention. But in
stead of opposing unanimous nomina-
ton, the contrary was true, according to
the Congressman.
AS soon as the Harmon delegates were
released from their instructions. Goeke
voted on the next ballot for Wilson. To
substantiate this statement, Cooke sub
mitted the roll call of the convention.
Turning from defense to attack, Cooke
charged that CARRIER is in politics for
business reasons only, and was actutated
by no motive higher than revengein sup
porting Wilson against Harmon in the
primary campaign"
Cooke attacked recent editorial from
a Cleveland newspaper attacking CARRIER
"as professional politician, copy of
which same editorial was also sent to the
President to-day
Cooke also attached to his statement a
COPY of a letter written several years ago
by CARRIER strongly indorsing Meeker.

VXuV not give your lad
w III L the same training =?

When was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that
l did not understand, my mother, In
stead Of giving me the definition when
l applied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way gradually learned many things
besides the meaning Of the individual
word In question other things,
how to use dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages Of the Unabridged of those
days. Now the most modern Una
bridged- -theNEW INTERNATIONAL
gives me a pleasure of the same sort.
SO far as my knowledge extends, it is
at present the best of the One-voIume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries in
several volumes will yet find IL great
convenience to have this, which is so
compact, so full, and SO Trustworthy
as to leave, in most cases, little to be
desired" - Albert s. Cook. Ph.D., LID.

POT CALLS THE
KETTLE BLACK
GOeEe Says CARRIER Is in Politics
for "BuSlness Reasons" For
mer Failing TO State His.

A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer of June says:
Congressman J. Henry Cooke, of the
Fourth Ohio District, to-day filed his
reply to charges made by former Nation
al Committeeman Harvey c. CARRIER in
connection with the appointment of a
Postmaster at Greenville. The reply, a
long typewriter statement, answered i'll
detail Garber's attack on Adam II. Meek
er, whom Cooke has recommended for
the Greenville job, and denied the charge
that Cooke is discriminating against
original" Wilson men in his distribu-
ton of Postmasterships.
Cooke went to the Postoffice Depart
ment, to file his answer in person with
Postmaster General Burleson. He did
not see the latter, who was engaged in a
conference, but left his document with
First Assistant Postmaster General Rope,
Mho promised to give it consideration.
Cooke thereupon left for Ohio, to spend
few DAYS at his home in Wapakoneta,
where his little daughter is sick. He eeX-
poets the Greenville case to be settled in
his absence.
In recommending w. A. Brown, Jr.,
for the Greenville Postmastership CARRIER
placed on file in the department a long
formal statement, setting forth his
reasons why Cookies patronage should
be disregarded. One of these was an
attack on Meeker.
Another was that Cooke is furnishing
Democrats in his district for supporting
Wilson in the primaries by turning them
down when they are candidates for jobs.
Still another was that Cooke was one of
the 13 delegates at Baltimore who refused
to make the nomination of Wilson unan-
imous.
With regard to Meeker's character,
Cooke denied Garber's charges, and for
a certificate of Meekers character and
ability referred Burleson to Senator Pom
creme and Mayor Newton d. Baker, of
Cleveland. In reply to the charge that
he is showing favoritism in patronage,
Cooke pointed to his two postoffice rec
concentrations previously made-both of
them Wilson men.
