"Sobriety is the essential virtue of a successful railroad
man and the chief requisite for permanent employment in any
railroads service. Especially in every man connected with the
movement of trains, a clear head and steady nerves are neces-
sary for the correct Judgment that will prompt right action at
the right time to avert danger and insure safety. The officers
of every railroad know that the employee who gives a part of
himself over to the slavery of liquor is not the man they want.
They want a complete man, not a part of a man."-"Safetyo on
the railroads"

How Much Is ST, $780, 900?


The estimated amount of the American drin
bill, as usually given, is $2,oooooo,ooo. Bonfort
Wine and Spirit Circular recently gave the amount a
$I,75o,oooooo.
w. W. Vose, accepting Bonfort's estimate, in a
address at the Peoria County Sunday School Conver
ton, October 9, endeavored to give his hearers a
idea of this inconceivable sum. He said:
If Adam, when he first arrived in the Garden
Of Eden, had been a good fnancier, and had COM
menced to organize stock companies and trust
concerns, while the organizing was good and
competition was nil, and if he had organized the
Adams Express Co., made himself president of it
at a salary of $4,000 per year (say brother,
wouldn't that sound good to you-a salary of
$4,000 per year,? Well, now, if he had lived
till today (taking Usher's chronology and held
his job continuously, and if his estate in the Gar
den of Eden had been enough to support him and
his large family, and if he had saved every cent of
his saary-$I5o,ooo- each of the 5000 years of
his life, he would now have only enough to pay
the drink bill of the United States for six months.
Do you say there must be some mistake about
that? Not a bit of it figure it for yourself. Well,
II a man who had laid up $4,000 per year for
5000 years, could only "stand treats at the
American bar for six months, how can the poor
washerwoman pay the bill? Simply because
there are SO many of her to pay. And there are
so many little babies to go barefoot while their
fathers trade their shoes for drink. And so many
children who can go hungry, that father may help
spend this gigantic sum of money. Yes, there
are SO many of them in the United States: There
are 100000 confirmed drunkards; there are A.
100000 heavy drinkers; and 10000, 900 moderate
and regular drinkers. Twenty-Five million men
and women drink the stuff. So $2,ooo,ooo,ooo is
only an average of $50 per year, which is less
than a quarter a day apiece. But we have seen
that that quarter a day apiece for the 100000
of them is equal to $4,000 salary per year for
1900 years.
