DRY STATISTICS.

Two-thirds of the geographical
area of the United States is dry ter
ritory. In 1868 there were 100000
people living in territory where the
drink traffic had been outlawed; in
1900 that number had increased to
1S,OO0,0OO; in 1908 the number had
doubled; and today there are 46,029,-
$50 persons, or fraction over one
half of the population of the country,
living in dry territory. In the last
five years the no-license population
has increased a little over 100000,
which is more than ten per cent. OF
the total population of the nation and
thirty per cent increase in the mum,
Der living in dry districts. Since
1858 the population of the country has
doubled while the number of inhab.
itants of dry territory has increased
over thirteenfold.
OF the nine total abstinence states,
four have constitutional and five have
statutory laws. OF the remaining
thirty-nine states, thirty-six are unde,

concerning It's use
Following the general use OF whisky
as a beverage nifty years ago many OF

eliminated and not infrequently In
the second generation. Many Of their

form of degenracy. which rendered
fertility impossible. Study the family
records that have been gathered by
the eugenlsts on the subject OF alco-
hol and the thinking world will stand
aghast.
The role that alcohol plays In dis
ease, pauperism, racial degeneracy and
graft makes its control by the state
absolutely necessary. and in order to
save society the saloon must go. To
accomplish this necessary reform no
candidate for state or municipal office
should be Endorsed by the medical pro
fession who has not stated satisfas-
torily his platform on the control OF
the three great social evils-prostitu-
tion, venereal disease and the saloon.
Total abstinence should become re.
quirement Of every official holding OF.
fee within the suffrage Of the people.
The importance Of the duties which
lawmakers, judges. state and munich
pal officials, the army. navy and police
are called upon to perform. demands
the highest class of intelligence and
efficiency, qualities which are impos-
sible with drinking men. Besides, the
alcoholic addict is more liable to lend
himself to graft and corruption in Of
flee than the total abstalner. The
physician who strives for racial per
fection must cling to total abstinence,
for there can be no compromise on
the great question of temperance. In
order to build up a strong virile peo-
pie we must protect the young against
the race poison. remembering that

COLLEGE, Men ORGANIZE.

Several factions of men OF the Uni

and students, all having democratic
convictions in lesser or greater degree,
have been organized into one society,
"Comitatus." The majority Of the
prominent local democrats are to form
the membership, and the granting Of
chapters to other colleges is cortem-
plated. The function of Comitatus is
to aid the party of Jefferson in all

crimes and other particulars attend
ing arrests that numbered about 200
daily, and my conclusion was that
fully ninety per cent were due d.
rectly or indirectly to the use Of
liquors" says A. d. Cutler, a former
commissioner Of police Of San Fran
cisco. "All saloons in San Francisco"
he continues, were closed for thirty
days, following the great fire in April,
1906, the result being that there was
so little police duty necessary in spite
Of the great confusion growing out of
the fire, that one-half the police force
were given vacations for periods of
from ten to thirty days When the
saloons we're again opened the off,
GERS on vacation were recalled as 1t
was deemed nAcessary to place the
entire force on duty because of the
increased crime and disorder"
