AN Ex-PREslDENT's OPINION.

The friend of the saloonkeepers
denounce their opponents for not
treating the saloon business like any
other. The best answer to this is that
the business is not like any other bust
ness, and hat the actions of the sa-
loonkeepers themselves conclusively
prove this to be the case, 1t tends
to produce criminality in the popula-
ton at large and lawbreaking among
the saloonkeepers themselves. When
the liquor men are allowed to do as
they wish, they are sure to debauch,
not only the body social, but the body
polite also-Theodore Roosevelt.

my attention was first called to the
Insidious effects of beer when began
examining for life insurance. passed
as unusually good risks five Germans,
young business men, who seemed in
the best of health, and to have superb
constitutions. In few years l was
amazed to see the whole five drop off,
one after another, with what ought to
have been mild and easily durable
diseases. On comparing my expert
ences with those of other physicians
found they were all having similar
luck with confirmed beer drinkers, and
my practice since has heaped confir
nation upon confirmation"

INFLUENCE OF SALOON.

The saloon is sending more children
into the factory, the mines, the mills
and shops, that ought to be at school
or play, than the influence of the trade
union has been able to eliminate, Ell

The attitude of organized labor upon
the employment of women in industry
is just the same as it is with children.
The saloon influence is driving by the
thousands women into the industrial
world who ought TO be at home.-John

THE WAR IN BRIEF

France announces that rapid revenge
has been taken by French aviators for
the bombardment OF the unfortified
town of Nancy by German airmen.
On Saturday French machines took
the air at Verdun and darted thirty
seven miles eastward. risking German
field batteries and forts. and dropping
shower OF bombs upon the German
stronghold of Meta. Aviation hangers,
railroad station where troops were
crowded. and the barracks at st. Privat
were the targets of the airmen. The
official announcement says nothing
about the amount Of damage caused. or
as to the safety of the raiding air
men The latter Is taken for granted.

ANXIETY,

of published reports of disturbances in
the Philippines on Christmas Eve. but
a denial of alleged conspiracies to
seize Corregidor Island from the
American forces. was received at the
War Department tonight from Cover
nor-General Harrison. Governor Har-
rison has just returned to Manila after
holiday cruise to other parts Of the
archipelago.
While confirming in almost every
detail the reports Of the demonstra-
lions of Christmas Eve, Governor Har-
rison's dispatch conveys the impress
sion that he does not consider the oc-
currences as having any political sig
nificance. or of sufficient consequence
to cause any anxiety about conditions
in the islands.
+ Nobody of any standing or in
fleuence is concerned in this move
ment." Governor Harrison cabled.
1t now seems clear that, whereas
there is little difference between the
unofficial and the official reports OF
these occurrences SO far as facts are
concerned the Interpretation placed
on them by administration officials
here and in Manila is quite contrary
to that of unofficial observers both
here and in the Islands. The admin
istration Is rapidly promulgating the
view that these disorders mean moth
ing. and that they are wholly unrep.
resentative of the situation in the
islands.
In other reliable quarters. though. II
Is pointed out that such occurrences
have been conspicuously absent in the
last few years, and that their recur-
renee is trutworthy barometer OF
conditions in the islands.

titled "A Genial Philosopher" which

ously the boy would participate in its

This is in perfect accord with the
systematic propaganda being conduct
ed by the breweries to force bottled
beer upon the American tables, an ef-
fort which. unfortunately, is meeting
with large success. And yet no less
an authority than the Chicago Child
Welfare Exhibit says:
Parents impaired by alcohol be-
erages beget children lacking in physi-
ical and mental vigor and in Will
power.
"Out Of every 100 children. twenty
four die when the mother Is sober.
thirty-three to seventy-two die when
the mother drinks. Drinking exhausts
the mother: surviving children are dis
posed to neurosis, alcoholic and drug
habits and criminal tendencies"
