THE DRINK OR THE JOB

A big Pennsylvania corporation
has offered those Of its employees
who will take Il pledge for total
abstinence from liquor a wage in
rea Of 10 per cent. The offer is
based on the fact that alcohol in
any quantity is a foe to efficiency,
so proven by science and business.
This firm thinks its expenditures
of an additional 10 per cent will
be an excellent investment, visible
eventually in dividends.
That reasoning is correct. And
it is reasoning of the sort that is
doing o to promote genuine
temperance than all the well-meant
or emotion soh-singing on the cal
endar. The job versus the drink!
Some weeks ago the Constitution
preached a New York Sermon
without sobs" upon the drink-or-
the-job text. 1t based its state
ments upon the edict of the new
Atlanta municipal court, which
gave all court atta ches the choice
between three" fingers and en-
ployment. We cited similar policies
becoming increasing the national
attitude of business and industry.
We laid down the premise that il
was this kind of practical interdic
that was doing the real work or
temperance reform.
Not for many months has any
single editorial in a Southern paper
attracted more favorable newspaper
and business comment. The Consti-
tution's theory seems to have
struck a thought that was in the
mind of clergy, laity and the
scientist.
There was just one exception.
Curiously and inexplicably, it came
from a prominent and able Atlanta
pulpit. 1t didn't matter to this
particular minister that economic
Temperance was ronquering where
emotionalism was failing. 1t didn't
suffice that he ought to be grateful
for healthful results, whatever the
medium. So long as the end wasn't
reached by the "Teu Nights in q
Barroom" schedule it wasn't guar
anteed under the pure fo3d and
drugs act. Whether this honest but
misguided clergyman believes bust
ness will let it's employees guzzle
to their hearts content, or that the
emotional method is all-sufi cient,
we are unable 20 determine.
But this doesn't prevent US from
accla;ming the forward march of
temperance by the path that APP
pears to promise the most effective
results-the economic method
the drink or the job" plan.-At-
lanta Constitution.

Home of the Glove.


About two-thirds of all the cloves
come from a little island named
Pemba that lies about five degrees
south Of the equator, just within sight
Of the mainland of Africa, between
Mombasa and Zanzibar. The island
of Pemba Is only So miles long and
ten wide. 1t is a low, ju~ngle-covered,
fever-haunted spot, surrounded by
coral reefs and inhabited by indolent,
uninteiligent and improvident natives
and a small handful Of Europeans.
The Glove tree is singularly deli
cate and must have a combination Of
climatic conditions that exist in a few
places on earth. Where it will grow
at all 1t will grow wild and in pro-
fusion.
Capt. j. q. z. Craster of the Brit
ish Royal Engineers has just publish
ed ar account Of a survey he made of
the island. He estimates the average
yield Of a tree to be So pounds of
cloves, and says that with a little at.
tention to the plantations this could
easily be doubled.
