heath Of Mrs. Caroline Mcdonald.

DedlH hk os SakVAAhS -OS
On Tuesday about one o'clock Mrs.
Caroline Mcdonald died at the home
of her son, Mr.. w. ]. Mcdonald.
Mrs. Mcdonald was probably the
Oldest person in this section of the
State, and her death was not unex-
pected. For some time she has been
gradually tinking-s5ffering IEith
no disease-simply wearing out with
old age.
Aunt" Caroline, as everybody
loved to call her was of a cheerful dis
position, and her last days were days
of sunshine rather than days of ap-
preaching death.
The funeral services were held yes
terday afternoon at Union church. A
large number of friends gathered to
pay the last tribute of respect to her
memory. Her pastor, Rev. ]. l..
Tyler, conducted the services.-Mc-
Bee Courier.

Editor, Publisher and Business Mgr,

The new Federal statute for the pro-
lection of game and migratory birds
known as the Mclean law, has be-
come effective, taking precedence
over all State laws of this character.
1t was failure of the State laws to
protect the birds from ruthless
slaughter by sports and pot hunters
that actuated the enactment of this
measure. So far as aiding the States
in the preservation of so valuable an
asset, the act is to be welcomed, but
the right Of the Federal Government
to intervene in what appears to be
purely State affairs has been ques-
toned. Congress based it's action on
the theory of interstate commerce,
showing that hunters often crossed
State lines to dispose of their game.
In support Of the bill it was also ar
gued that it would have tendency to
minimize the number of accidental
deaths from hunting by removing
from ameateur nimrods the occasion
for carrying a gun. 1t would be well,
of course, to accomplish SUCH an OBJ
ject by any means, although this
seems to be a rather roundabout rea-
son for all such laws as the preserva-
ton Of birds, some species of which
would otherwise rapidly become ex-
tinct.

GREAT RACE POISON.

GREAT RACE POISON.
Excerpts from address by Col l.
Mervin Maus, NJ. d. Chief Surgeon
Eastern Division, United States Army,
before the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, Boston)
Research, experiments, the epilep-
tics and feeble-minded institutions, IN
sane asylums, prisons and the post
norton table constantly teach US
what alcohol is doing for the human
race. There remains no longer any
doubt of the special and general re-
suits of the great racial poison" on
child, man, race or community. Few
people understand the far-reaching ef-
fects of alcohol on the family, and the
race at large. 1t is an intricate and
difficult problem to approach on &C
count of it's social connection with
many of the most prominent and in
fuential men and women of the coun-
try, who still hold very liberal views
concerning it's use.
Following the general use Of whisky
as a beverage fifty years ago many OF
the most prominent and intellectual
families of our country have been
eliminated and not infrequently In
the second generation. Many of their
representatives became drunkards
and died childless, or left children
cursed with feeble mind, epilepsy, tu-
berculosis, insanity, or some other
form OF degenracy, which rendered
fertility impossible. Study the family
records that have been gathered by
the eugenists 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 it's 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 satisfac-
torily his platform on the control of
the three great social evils-prostitu-
ton, venereal disease and the saloon.
Total abstinence should become a re-
quirement of every official holding Of
flee 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
fee than the total abstainer. The
physician who strives for racial per
lection must cling to total abstinence,
for there can be no compromise on
the great question of temperance. In
order to build up strong, virile peo-
pie we must protect the young against
the race poison, remembering that
the child of today is the citizen of to-
morrow.

"DRY" STATISTICS.

Two-thirds of the geographical
area of the United States is dry ter
ritory. In 1858 there were $4,000
people living in territory where the
drink traffic had been outlawed; i'm
1900 that number had increased to
100000; in 1908 the number had
doubled; and today there are 46,029.-
$50 persons, or a 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 num-
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 under
some form of local option.

POLICE COMMISSIONER ON IL


while police commissioner in San
Francisco in 19O7-9, it was my custom
to examine the records in the city
prison frequently, showing all the
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, 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
we're given vacations for periods OF
from ten to thirty days. When the
saloons were again opened the off,
GERS on vacation were recalled as it
was deemed necessary to place the
entire force on duty because of the
increased crime and disorder"
