All Russia Forbidden Vodka

If believe all we hear nation of drunards has been
made sober day by imperial edct 600 peop
of Russia in the habit of drinking billion dollars worth of
vodka but when the dogs of were let loose the
Gar ordered all these millions drink and as their fear
of the Germans powerful than their thirst for strong
liquor they promptly obeyed and millions of former drnsrs
with their wasted physical and mental powers completely restored

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

A young man in neighboring coun-
ty seat was fined for intOxication, and
the fine was RENTED on condition that
he stay sober until July 4. Is it fair
to man who has acquired the drink
appetite to put saloons in his way and
then demand that he stay sober? Ev-
cry time he sees a saloon or smells
the odor that comes from one he has
an uncomfortable desire to go in and
fill up. Is it fair to set traps to create
the desire, inflame it to the point of
desperation, and when he falls to pun
ish him for it? Is it not true that if
you vote for saloons you are to blame
for the shame and misery they unload
on the community? Uhrichsville
Chronicle.

LOSS TO THE NATION?

The following statement is taken
from the report Of the Massachusetts
commission on drunkenness: 'The
greatest economic loss to the state
lies in the idleness of capable men.
Nineteen out of every twenty men I'M
prisoned for drunkenness in Massachu-
sets last year were of American or
British birth, unhandicapped in their
occupation by difficulties with our Ian
guage. Four out of every five men so
imprisoned were between seventeen
and fifty years of age. and therefore
at the very period of life when indus
trial output should be largest These
men, at the prime of life, lost over
100000 working days from imprison-
ment alone last year and probably an
equal amount Of time was lost in hunt
ing for work after release from prison.
That efficiency in work is reduced
through alcoholism is unquestioned.
1t is impossible to calculate the con-
tinuous loss which it involves"

NATION MUST BE PRESERVED.

NATION MUST BE PRESERVED.
From nowhere and from no one in
the assembled craftsmanship of the
nation is there any hint of from what
sources the tremendous annual federal
income of $250,O0OOOO now derived
from imported or domestic liquors is
to be replaced" walls Mr.. Joseph De-
bar, secretary Of the National Whole
sale Liquor Dealers association.
We respectfully call his attention to
the address made by Senator Morris
Sheppard before the subcommittee of
the committee on the Judiciary. He
says:
There are legitimate sources of
revenue yet untouched. There are
few direct taxes on Injuries. The in
come tax has little more than
scratched the surface of enormous
wealth. There is no federal inheri-
lance tax. Non-aIcoholic beverages
are untaxed The national domain,
with measureless mineral resources,
water powers, forests and the like
could be managed so as to produce
yearly usufruct of fifty or one hundred
millions. The pension roll gives prom
Use of rapid decline"
The crux of the argument for the
abolition of the liquor traffic, however,
lies in the senator's further statement
that "the American republic cannot en-
dure if the liquor traffic continues to
absorb the earnings and the energies
of the people-to threaten their moral
and material welfare"
The preservation of the republic
through a higher standard Of citizen
ship is the end and aim of all tenn
perance legislation.

RUSSIAN POLICY,

We cannot make our fiscal pros
perity dependent upon the destruction
of the spiritual and economic powers
Of many of my subjects, and there
fore it is necessary to direct our
financial policy towards seeking gov
eminent revenues from the unex-
hausted sources of the country's
wealth and from the creative toll of
the people, to seek constantly, while
preserving wise economy, to increase
the productive powers of the country
and to take care of the satisfaction of
the peoples needs.
Such must be the ends of the de-
sired changes.
l am fully convinced that they must
succeed and that they are absolutely
necessary for the good of my people.
especially since both the Duma and
the Imperial Council have turned their
attention to these needs of the people
by revising our alcohol laws.-Nich-
olas, car Of Russia.

MUST HAVE THE BOYS.

Recent investigations show that
two-thirds of all the drunkards con-
tract the drinking habit before they
are twenty-one years old, nearly one.
third before they are sixteen. and
about seven per cent before they are
twelve. The liquor dealers know this
and for business reasons they must
create appetite" among our school
boys. One family out of every five

The final score was 1912 in favor
of the Aggies. The Aggies weigh
ed little more than our boys and
played little better football. but
Fitzgerald played them as close a
game as could be desired.
Griffin made speedy end run
in the second quarter which gave
Fitzgerald goal. To the third
quarter Dover made long run
from the center of the field which
netted Americas one. Again in
the fourth quarter Capt. Lew
broke through the line for touch
down on line plunge. Americas
succeeded IN kicking goal. In the
latter part of the fourth Fitzgerald
made a touchdown, Griffin carry.
ing the ball across this time too,
Fitzgerald failed on an attempt to
put out. Fitzgerald fought hard
to make another touchdown but
was unable to do so in the time
left.
