MARCH 19 IN HISTORY
THEN

Sixteen years ago today the bat
tleship Oregon began the most re-
markable long, distance race
against time in all naval his
tory. On this date in 1898 it left
San Francisco to join the warships
in Atlantic waters. There was
an effort to surround the Oregon's
movements with secrecy, but
everybody guessed her mission and
bets were made on the success of
the trip. Tension relaxed for
time after the Oregon appeared at
Callao, Peru, her first stop. but it
became the more acute as she
steamed southwark toward the
Straits of Magellan where
Spanish torpedo boat lurked and
tempestuous seas made the passing
of the straits hazardous. After
3S days out Of San Francisco the
Oregon dashed into the Atlantic,
and up the coast. evading the
Spanish warships reported lying
in wait for her. On the evening
of May "a she steamed into
Jupiter Bay, having covered the
$4,000 miles in 81 days. The
record trip made her commander,
the now Rear Admiral Charles E.
Clark (retired), a national hero.

A Chance for Democracy.

Il notice.. said an Auburn man this
morning, that the Democratic party
of this State are going to insert
woman suffrage plank in their plat
form. This is indeed rich. 1t was
that party under the lead of their chief
spokesman, Representative Newbert,
of Augusta, that defeated woman suf-
frage in the last Legislature! Is 1t
possible that they have awakened to
the magnitude of that stupendous
blunder? 1t would be only a fair
sample of the inconsistency of that
party to adopt a suffrage plank ana
then nominate Newbert to stand on
the platformi OF course. such per-
Torrance would cause loud guffaw
to go up all over the State. Mayor
Newbert may continue to win city VIC
tories by the aid of the rum votes
but should he ever go before the peo-
pie of the whole State he would learn
something that would make him sit up
and take notice. Incidentally his party
would receive a jolt that would teacn
it's members lesson also. just mag
inc Newbert running for Governor on
a woman suffrage platform, 1t would
convulse the State. 1t would also ada
to the gaiety of nations when the OPP
position reprinted and circulated his
anti-suffrage speech as a campaign
document It would be one OF the
humors that would take all the sting
out of the campaign and all thoughts
of bitterness would be lost in shout
of universal laughter. Poor Newbert!
He is being hoist by his own petard.
Pattangau warned him of his blum
der at the time. but the chorus OF ap-
prevail from the rumsellers sounded
sweeter in his ears than the dulcet
voice of Patt. By all means nominate
Newbert. Let us for once have
campaign of pure fun. 1t would be a
galvanized case of Saul of Tarsus with
all the tragic eliminated. That anti
suffrage speech would be read as a
part of the program of every grange

one of the old fashioned exhortations
of the temperance lecturers IN the
John B.. Cough period. 1t confirms in
a perfectly calm and scientific style
substantially every charge Cough ever
brought against the evils of the drink
habit. We quote merely passages
which are italicized, wholly or partly
in the report itself:
Statistics from various sources sat
isfy us that at least one-third of all
crime (aside from public drunkenness)
is directly occasioned by the use of
alcohol. Massachusetts prison sta
tistics show that SO per cent. of all
criminals in our prisons in 1912 were
intemperate by habit.
Alcoholic intemperance was the
primary cause of insanity in 1857 per
cent. of the cases committed for the
first time to hospital for the insane
during the year 1902, and was as
signed as a contributory cause in AL
per cent. of first commitments.
We are convinced from available
data that the annual cost to the State
by loss of labor resulting from pro-
mature deaths, from preventabie dis
ease and from accidents occasioned
by Incorporate use Of alcohol amounts
to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The part played by drunkenness in
the production of poverty is very
! large. Each investigation Of the
causes of poverty reveals that in from
10 to 20 per cent. of the cases apply
ing to public or private agencies Of
relief, the abuse of alcohol is an i'm
mediate cause of dependency. One
tenth or more of the present cost Of
public and private poor relief would
| probably be wiped out if drunkenness
could be eradcated from our Com
| nnonWealth.
| The greatest economic loss to the
State lies in the idIeness of capable
men. Nineteen out of every 20 men
| imprisoned for drunkenness in Mas
scahusetts last year were of American
or British birth, unhandioapped in
their occupation by difficulties with
our language. Four out of every five
men so imprisoned were between II
and SO years of age, and therefore at
the very period in life when indus
trial output should be largest. These
men, at the prime of life, lost ever
100000 working days from imprison-
ment alone last year, and probably AN
equal amount Of time was lost in
hunting for work after release from,
prison. That efficiency in work is re-
duced through alcoholism is unques-
toned. 1t is impossible to calculate
the continuous loss which is involved.
The cost Of drunkenness to the
| State in homes broken through d.
vorce, through desertion, the cost in
neglected childhood, in degraded man.
hood and womanhood, Is beyond
| measure.
The fact, incidentally revealed, that
nineteen out Of every twenty men i'm
| prisoned for drunkenness In Massa-
| chusetts last year were of American or
British birth, stops us from holding
the immigration Of the past dozen
years from southern, central and east
ern Europe responsible for the recent

against whom a campaign of ex-
clusion has been so vigorously con-
Quoted is certainly not to blame.
On the question of the prevention of
drunkenness the commission is not so
convincing, so sure-footed, as could be
wished. The logic of the situation is
that our present system in regulating
the liquor traffic and in educating the
people to habits of self-control fails to
meet the demands society places upon
it. For the naked fact of an increase
in drunkenness is itself condemnatory
of present methods as insufficient If
not mistaken. The problem has many
social ramifications and is intimately
bound up with the broader problems
of poverty and disease. The COM
mission sees nothing hopeful. for the
near future at least, in prohibition, nor
in Scandinavian system, nor in Gov
eminent dispensaries. 1t does not at
tack our local option system, Its
recommendations are good in their
way. The average drunkard must be
treated less as a criminal than as
diseased person calling for hospital
care; and whatever can be done
toward supplying attractive social
centres as substitutes for the saloon
has a strong claim upon public sup
port. Special emphasis is placed
upon more vigorous educational eff
forts to combat the further growth of
this evil. by means of posters,

NOW

Today the Oregon's trip may be
safely recorded as the only one
and the last of it's kind. No
other warship is likely to be called
upon to make the circuit of South
America. Before. another war can
come to pass, the gateway of the
oceans will have been opened at
Panama. Then a modern battle
ship steaming at the same rate as
the Oregon, might make Jupiter
Bay, Florida, from San Francisco
in less than 20 days. She would
not suffer for want of coal, as did
the oregon. She would need to
refill her bunkers but once, and
this while passing through the
canal. During the to IL hours
passage of the Isthmus the engi-
neers could repair or overhaul her
machinery. and hanacles, the bane
of high speed would be cleaned.
Thus refreshed the battleship
could dash across the Gulf of
Mexico and into the battleline well
stocked with both fuel and am
munition.
