Drink Cause of Incompetency.

Drink is the agent which most
ly brings the American laborer
to the stage where he must ac-
cept casual employment, F. S.
Edinger, San Francisco con-
tractor who deals with large
bodies of unskilled workers, tes-
titled before the industrial rela-
tons commission.
I'VE do not employ many ma
tive-born Americans when we
can do otherwise" he said. ''The
reason is that an efficient Ameri-
can workman usually can get a
steady position. The class of
Americans who have to take our
work generally is the kind we
do not want. The cause of this
ineficiency most often is drink. "

Immigration of the Past Year.

The complete immigration sta
tistics for the fiscal year ending
June 80 were given out only re-
Gently. The total number of
foreigners who entered our coun-
try during the twelve months
was LIS, $50. This was an in
crease of only about 10000 over
the preceding year, but repre-
sents a large gain over the figures
for 1912 and 1911. But for the
falling off in immigration for
June the fiscal year just closed
would have recorded by far the
largest number of foreigners
coming to this country of any
year in our history. The next
few months will of course show
few coming to our land from
Europe, but many returning to
the homelands to take part in the
war.

SIN the four imperial universe

$500 students. In the So schools
devoted to technical and higher
education, there are 1000 instruc-
tors and %, students. In the

Louisiana Facts.

The facts set forth below are
undisputed, and are the result of
much careful investigation.
They are not generally known
because the Prohibitionists have
generally been looked upon as a
lot of cranks and sentimentalists
not worthy of much considera-
ton.
A disinterested business man
of New Orleans lately investi-
gated the subject, and the fol-
lowing are a few of the astound-
ing facts brought to light by his
investigation:
$37, 100000 cash is spent in
Louisiana for liquor, annually.
Drink is the cause of 43 per
cent of the homes wrecked by
divorce.
Two hundred and eighty citi-
zens were driven insane last year
in Louisiana by drink.
Liquor is the cause of Is FER
cent of the children being kept
from school, and of a great num-
Der being born deficient or de-
formed.
Last year drink was the cause
of $50 people being sent to the
penitentiary, in Louisiana.
The above facts and figures are
practically repeated in every cor
responding number of popula-
ton throughout the United
States, except where prohibition
is enforced; for instance, at
least two men out of every Is
who die in the United States lose
their lives as the direct or indi-
rect result of drink, so that every
eight days 1903 men and women
are killed by drink in the United
States.
This is the number that the
Titanic carried down.
Think of a Titanic sinking reg
ularly every eight days when it
could be so easily avoided. This
fact alone will get next to any
thinking man that has some de-
sire for the welfare of his coun-
try, will it not?
Again, it has been found that
Is per cent of the poverty is
caused by drink; 81 per cent of
the pauperism, 45.8 per cent of
the child misery, so per cent of
the crime, and Is per cent of the
insanity throughout the United
States.
The above cold figures do not
include all that is to be charged
against liquor. Think of the ter
rible deeds of cruelty to helpless
women and children that we read
of in the papers every day, caus-
ed by liquor, and those we have
come in personal contact with. =
