Prohibition Anvil
A Modest Request.

II NJ. Gilmore. president of the so-calied Ma
tional Model License League, has sent letter
to all the members of the House of Representa-
tives advising them that he desires and expects
them to against the Hobson prohibition
amendment. He Is very anxious to sec that
measure killed
II am not asking merely that the bill be de-
feated, says Mr.. Gilmore, cor that 1t fail to
receive a majority vote. / ask that the bill he
so overwhelmingly defeated to sque!ch the
aspirations of cheap and incompetent men who
seek to emotional fad as means Of re-
tanning pass key to the national crib
A very modest request, truly. Congressmen
will please note that this gentleman in Louis
vile, hired by the liquor interests to rail against
the prohibition movement and to offer cheap in
suits to the leaders of the movement in State
and acknowledgements will please note that
this gentleman will not be satisfied with the
mere defeat of the Hohson bill. He demands
that the defeat be overwhelming as to crush
the life out of this emotional fad"
Contemptuous references to the prohibition
movement as an emotional fad and on.
have not hurt the movement in time past and
will not hurt II in time to come. The liquor
interests and their hirelings not wise to be-
gin with and seem. incapable of learning. Ger
tainly Mr.. Gilmore shows no improvement OF
method manners time passes. He sticks
to the old claptrap and hands 1t out in the old
way. His letter will not defeat the Hobson BILL
though il may he defeated. A great many Con-
( gressmen are opposed to the measure, and they
expected q
1t, with Brother Barthodt, of Missouri, leading
the van.
Mr.. Gilmore kindly favors the Congressman
with several reasons why. In response to his de-
mand they should defeat the Hobson bill The
most of the yellow with age and
have been passed upon in several States ana
found insufficient to the liquor traffic from
destruction. But Mr.. Gilmore does not mention
the real reason for liquor opposition to the Hob
son bill which is that nationwide prohibition
would stop the piling up of fortunes by the liquor
interests. The publicity agents OF the liquor M
terests sidestep the moral phase OF the question
and pirate OF conhscaton of property without
compensation; of the reputation of States
rights of the forfeitng of a vast amount or
revenue. and OF making national political issue
of local moral question. But the liquor inter-
ests do for any principle for principle $
sake. Always their motives selfish and mer-
cenary They change their convictions and
shift positions overnight If the welfare of the
whiskey business demands IT. For instance, they
would deny the right of State 10 pass State
wide prohibition law, but they are strong for
states rights when a nationwide prohibition law
is proposed. Perhaps it is just well. Possibly
it really doesn't make any difference in the long
run where or how the liquor interests stand the
result will be the same
But are impressed with the modesty of
Mr.. Gilmore's request, or demand He does not

Alcohol and Life Insurance.


Life insurance presidents are not sentimental
lists. They search for facts in relation to longe-
witty of men for cold, business reasons. A COM
mittee of life insurance presidents appointed by
the association Of men OF this calling, which re-
Gently held meeting at the Hotel Aston, has
studied the cases of 1000, 900 policyholders in
an investigation for fortythree life insurance
companies in the causes Of premature deaths.
Arthur Hunter the chairman OF this committee,
reported at the Hotel Aston meeting that alcohol
plays a leading role in Fastening death. From
the New York Sun report OF the meeting of the
Association of Life Insurance Presidents, we take
the following excerpt:
He referred to a report that the Russian peas
ant was already beginning to look as though
he caAne from q different since the ban was

IT the. government of Russia carries out
its traent intention to abolish all forms OF
alcoholic beverages permanently the saving OF
human life will be enormous. 1t Is not too
much to say that the loss OF 100000 men as
the result Of the present warfare could be made
good In less than ten years through complete
abstinence from alcoholic beverages by all the
inhabitants OF Russia.
zone of the significant results of the investi-
CATION was the high mortality among railroad
men," continued Mr.. Hunter. Among locomo-
tive engineers, for example, the mortality was
60 per cent in excess Of that experienced among
the insured as whole, which Is equivalent TO
five years reduction in the average lifetime. -

II was used for many years by the

points.
The property has not been in use
for several years, the old wharf nav

number OF representative business men
spoke on the question. Among those
who expressed themselves as being
favorable TO the purchase OF the prop
erty were leading members OF the

Fee Of Assessors.
Another question to be discussed is
that of raising the fee Of the members

Gilbert A. Hunt spoke at some length
at the last meeting OF the committee.
He endeavored to show that the duties
of the board had increased materially,
and that the work entatled much
