London and in my company was
a European scientist. During the
journey l touched a point from
the prohibition party relating the
liquor business, and he gave me
the following answer;
prohibition will never stop
excessive drinking or regulate it,
Let the people drink and special
ly the labor class-it needs a
glass of beer, wine or whisky
whenever it wishes. Look-our
prisons and asy1ums and other
similar institutions are not so
crowded with lunatics, cranks
and otherwise respondents, like
those in United States, where
temperance is preached every
where.
THE statistics talk and not the
temperance fanatic. In Eu-
rope you will find a great per-
centage of people over so years
of age, twice as much by percent
age of population than in u. S.
But our people drink pure alco-
holic drinks, no mixtures or ex-
tracts.
ION our continent you will
find less drunkards than in
United States, and there never
has been proposed or passed a
law to stop or to reduce the
alcoholic usage. Our men are
strong and healthy and still one
and all drink. Seldom here you
will find cases of appendicitis
our women are good mothers,
our men are good fathers-and
everyone drinks. and drinks beer,
wine and whisky-Pure stuff"
These are facts-no polite nor
political schemes. Let the
"drys" talk now.

Four Big Offers

had four good money-making PROPOSE
tions open for him at the time he
signed TO manage the Cubs. The
"Rajah" was considering the pur-
chase of the Cleveland American
league franchise and returning 1t to
his home town, Toledo. where he was
confident he could make money He
was also offered the management OF
the Yankees, IL is said, and the Wards
were anxious TO get him to boss the
Brookfeds. The New York offer came
last fall, and the chief reason why
Roger did not take ii up was the diff
Guilty which he faced in transferring
to the American league. The same
thing hindered the American associa-
ton proposition. Roger picked the
Cubs over the Brookfeds, because he
thought he would be more certain OF
future in Chicago than in the outlaw
country.
