Proponents of the new licensing bill

maids whose greatest assets, from the
standpoint OF the house. are their
good looks and ability to put away

These women work on percentage.
which naturally spurs them to sell as
many drinks as possible.
The difficulty in combating places
OF this sort by a general law is found
IN the fact that great number OF
highly respectable places employ wom-

Germany, indeed, the female waiter is
the rule. In view Of this. the federal

era1 elections this spring win consid-
erably increase the temperance vote in
energetic nonparty campaign through
out France, urging each political
group to obtain from their candidate
q declaration on the drink question
and II possible a pledge to support
anti-alcoholic legislation.
after the passage of the law al
present before the house there are two
other projects which we hope to
realize in course Of time. One is the
absolute prohibiting Of the sale OF
absinthe. Official statistics show that
the consumption of this liquor which
stood at 100000 litres in 1874 had in
creased to 100000 litres in 1910.
The increase of crime in France dur
absinthe drinking Our madhouses
are filled with 1unatics who would have
been sane and healthy men and wom-
en- but for abSinthe.
THE second anti-alcoholic measure
will be for abolishing the privilege
Of spirit distillers to manufacture a
quantity of spirit free from taxation
for consumption by themselves and
their families. The amount of spirits
thus manufactured is enormous, espe-
Normandy and Brittany, where every
peasant Is distiller of spirit in a
small way. The government has no
check whatever on spirit manufac-
tuTcQ unOeI inc privilege anu u
course it is not by any means con-
sumed by the distiller and his family.
1t is estimated that il the spirits
manufactured under the privilege were
taxed at the same rate as other alcO-
hol it would bring revenue Of at least
100000.
1--WE propose no legislation at pres
ent against the drinking of wine. In
districts where nothing but wine is
consumed there is very little alcohol
ism. Unfortunately inhabitants OF the
famous wine growing districts OF
France are no longer content to drink
wine alone. They have acquired the
taste for more pernicious drinks and
at the same time more absinthe is
being drunk each year in the Midi
than In any other part OF France.
Nine Leon Brunschwieg. general
secretary of the French Union for
Wcman's Suffrage and q prominent
temperance reformer. says: anti
alcoholism is one OF the chief planks
in our platform and believe the
granting Of votes for women will be
the only means of securing temper
ance majority in the French parlia-
ment.''
The German parliament, like that Of
France, will soon be called upon to
consider measures of restraint upon
the liquor business Of the empire.
The federal council has prepared
for consideration a bill which is the
result of years of agitation against
the issuing liquor licenses regardless
of whether there is any real demand
for more drinking places. Under the
existing law municipalities are au-
thorized to refuse licenses where the
need for their issuance is not proved,
but the new measure makes such re-
fusa1 mandatory. 1t also requires
applicants for licenses to show that
they are persons Of good character,
and can be depended upon to conduct
their business properly.
