GETTING THE RUM
DEMONS GOAT.
Duluth Herald: Coincidentauv. ",

Duluth Herald: Coincidentally, we
hear two closely related stories.
Not long ago something less than a
dozen men, business men mostly, were
together two or three days on a trip
that was half business, half pleasure.
Toward the end of the trip-it was
on a special train-somebody suggested
a drink. The button was pushed in
due, and ancient form, and the slave of
orders. Two took old-fashioned drinks;
the rest ook charged waters.
Later comment arose over the fact
that only a few years ago 1t would
a drink would have come the first day,
and pretty early, instead of the last
day, pretty late, instead OF only two
men taking real drinks, most or all of
them would have spurred their sys-
TENS with an alcoholic shock; and there
would not have been one drink, but
many.
The discussion developed the fact
that only a few years ago it would
have been this way, even IL the same
men had formed the party.
One man said he quit because he
found 1t didn't agree with him.
Another man said he quit because he
found himself getting underneath the
habit instead Of on top of tit was
becoming his master. ' -
Another man said: II found I couldn't
keep up the pace in my business-it's
pretty swift, you know-when my
webbed with the katzenjammer after
effects. So L quit It,"
Still another mar confessed that he
had found himself saying and doing
indiscreet and foolish things when he
had a few drinks aboard: II thought
that I probably hadn't been endowed
with any more brains than I needed
he said, land 1 concluded I'd better
M h. ty1 IL - ~ 49, ~ 4L-4 Il
pied what brains 1 did have. SO I
quit" And he wasn't a man anybody
would suspect of a lack Of brains,
either.
The fifth man said his doctor said he
would have to quit drinking or quit
living-"and I was no soak, either"
And so it went. The two who had
taken whisky for theirs looked rather
were wise in cutting it out" and add
ed that they were thinking of doing
the same.
The other story is about a meeting
of members Of an order hat one was
noted-or notorious. justly or unjustly
for it's co~nviviality. There were more
than a hundred present during a whole
evening, and the total sales at the bar
amounted to four bottles of beer.
That's the sort Of thing thai is get
ting the goat" of the demon rum.
Not prohibition; not county option;
not ever tightly adjusted lids; but the
widening realization that the drinking
man is not the efficient man, that the
pace Of modern competition is too keen
for men whose brains are not clear,
that drink never did any man good in
all the history Of the world and has
done terrible evil to millions.
1t Is a change that you encounter
wherever you turn. 1t is a change that
grows more emphatic every day.
The drink evil will not be killed by
the we'll meant attempts of some people

by the settled judgment of mankind
that it is an evil, that thousands are
made worse but it and none made bet
ter, and thai man and the world will
be better off without 1t.
That's what's getting the goat Of the
rum demon.

What Do You Think?

the gutter. 1t was a grave atfair-a~

The answer will be obvious to all
who have read Arnold Benefits LiV-
ing on Twenty-four Cents Il Day, or
who have even a skinny acquaintance
with Emerson or the older writer's oE
the classics. The gentlemen who
gravely contemplated the gutter
thinking of the gutter not at all
wore IN his very unbusinesslike coun-
~tenance the reflection of n sleepless
night, or perhaps an unpleasant in

only because his car was late. Gers
