Worlds Strides In Temperance

A curious thing is this worldwide
agitation against the sale OF alcoholic
liquors Russia stops the sale of vodka,
Germany restricts the manufacture OF
beer, France shuts down on the sale
of absinthe and England seriously
considers the prohibition of all liquor
traffic These are some Of the larger
manifestations of the movement
against drinking. But in every coun-
try the ban of insurance companies
is upon the drinking man. The rail-
road employe all over the civilized
world today must be so nearly a tee
totaler that the old glad life of un-
restricted booze-fighting has passed
from him forever. The coming of
steam and electricity has done many
things to change the face of civiliza-
ton, but by speeding up machinery,
steam and electricity have changed
the face OF skilled labor more than
anything else. They have bleached
him out The hard drinker can't hold
his job in any factory today where
efficiency methods are used.
AS men in the machine rooms have
had to stop drinking, the increased
speed they have generated has COM
PEELED a faster pace in the Office. Of
fee men all over the world are drop
ping liquor. Ten years ago bad form
consisted in carrying too much liquor
into the days work at the Office.
Twen.y years ago, bad form expressed
itself ia, being drunk during working
hours Fifty years ago a protracted
spree was frowned upon. But today
the man who breezes into the Office
after lunch with the aroma of beer
or a cocktail about him, is viewed
with suspicion, If not with alarm
Personal liberty is getting more of a
jolt from the customs of civilization
than it is from the laws in the local
option and prohibition states For,
as q matter of fact, the law merely
follows public opinion. The change
in the constitution of state comes
only after the habits of considerable
minority-if not majority = have
changed.
1t is not prohibitery law that is
closing the breweries so much as il is
the wise little man in the factory and
in the Office who quietly decides,
without putting on parade after his
decision, that he will cut out the
booze When he and his neishbors
meet to talk Ii over. the town goes
dry, and the state, when enough coun-
ties are dry. itself moves out of the
wet column. And the liquor dealers
association views with alarm, and
blames its troubles upon the prohi-
bition cranks. They are glad of the
honor conferred But they really don't
deserve ii, II.
For the liquor dealers themselves
are largely to blame forVthe wave of
teetotalism that is sweeping the
world. The LIQUOR dealer has organ.
lied his business upon wrong basis.
He is trying to sell his products
through the saloon. And the saloon
as sales agency is all bad. II is
bad, because of two things: First,
because il is run on theory Of over
stimulating the consumption of the
product, and overstimulation of the
sale is the one thing which produces
the evil CT drink; and the second

fault of the saloon comes from the
fact that in every American commu-
nifty, at least, the saloon is hooked up
with vice and corruption. A highly
organized civilization will not permit
a man to overdrink. And decent
community sooner or later will rebel
against any institution within its Dor.
ders which is allied with the gambler,
the prostitute and the election thief.
And always the saloon tries to make
men drink too much, and then tries
to hold its place in the community
by an alliance with vice So men quit
drinking, and then vote against the
saloon as the first step in self-defense
and civic righteousness.
Every election sees the dry territory
widening The saloon fight is a lost
cause Only one thing can save the
liquor traffic in this world, and that
is the liquor traffic itself. 1t must
cease being hog 1t must put itself
upon status where decent men can
defend it. And decent men cannot
defend the saloon as it stands today.
Doubtless, if sugar dealers were to go
into a sales agency which would try
to make people eat vastly too much
candy and then would ally itself with
touts and gamblers and prostitutes in
every town to hold its rights to make
people consume too much sugar, the
sugar business would fall into disre-
pute. And the liquor business will
find itself fighting hopeless fight I'M
til it abolish the saloon, puts itself
upon the basis of any other commo-
dity, as say, clothes pins, mackerel.
dress goods or nails, and instead of
trying to overstimulate its sales
through the saloon, take its chances
over the counter with the rest of the
worlds goods and get out of poll.

The water wagon, with all its hor-
rors for the liquor dealer and it is
only the shadow of prohibition cast
before-the water wagon is coming
into this world because the saloon, as
sales agent of alcoholic liquors, has
affrcnted civilization, produced a So
cial cancer, and endangered highly
complex life.

He got no further, for at that mo-
ment he was struck down with apo

the doctor took the man away to the
hospital.

Allan, left alone in the office, did
not know what to do. Therefore, he
started to do his work exactly as
though the unexpected had not hap
pened. He was hard on biting edi-
torial when the shadow of a man in
silk hat fell across his desk and
caused him to start round.
Behind him, Immediately dressed,
his heavy jowl set in a sneering
smile, stood Gregory himself.
'WeIl, sir!'' said Allan, rising.
"This is bad news about Mr..
Smith" said the boss.

it that way, sir" suggested Allan.

bought it, from Boss Gregory to the
high school boys.
At the end of three months Allan
was writing nearly all the editorials,
under Smiths guidance. The older
man confessed that the youngsteT
could beat him at his own game.
Then Allan wrote gleefully to Mil
dred:
1.-THE time is coming, dear. After
the approaching elections we shall
have a new government. Then bust
ness will flow our way. Gregory and
his satellites will be consigned to the
outer darkness. I shall be raised
again, and we will be - married!
Think of that! Married.
Four weeks before the elections, to
his amazement, the young fellow was
waited on by deputation of citizens
at his boarding house. They wanted
him to run for the Office of sheriff,
paying $4,000 yearly.
"But I don't know anything about
the work." exclaimed the boy, de-
lighted.

 Referring again to your district, or First Judicial Division, l will assure you that our Board does not fail to recognize It's needs, nor its right to fair proportion of expenditures on road projects. Any of the projects mentioned in the petition to our Board and agreed to by me at our last conference which may not be taken up this season, will merely be delayed-for @ short time only. it is hoped-and in the meanwhile exist ing roads will be repaired and main lained in as good condition as possi- ble. The high water in parts of the Territory during the last few weeks has done considerable damage to our roads and makes necessary addition al and unexpected expenditures for their repair
 The whole trouble about the road situation in Alaska is primarily, of course. a lack Of sufficient funds to accomplish what is really needed for the Territory's development. have exerted my best efforts to have this situation recognized and taken care of, and the War Department has been liberal in its support; but the Army appropriation bill cannot carry enough money for the commercial develop ment of Alaska. The secretary of war, in a letter to the Secretary of the Interior, Jan. 12, 1914. stated, in connection with a special estimate submitted by me for S750,O0O.OO, that In the opinion or the Board or Road Commissioners for an expansion of this work of road building to an ex- tent that makes 1t impossible to con- sider it military enterprise Q This gives the reason for referring the matter to the Secretary of the Interior for consideration and such action as he might deem advisable"; and also conveys the suggestion that the initial steps toward securing in- creased appropriations for road work in the Territory should come from source other than the War Depart. ment

COL. RICHARDSON AND SENATOR SULZER EXPLAIN
 ROAD FUNDS QUESTION

of the Territory by the United States
 and represents 25 per cent of the
 monies derived from the National
 Forests. The money is paid over by reason of an Act of Congress which
 provides that this money shall be eN- pended by the Legislature for the
 maintenance of schools and the com struction of roads and trails in the
 county or counties where the money
 has been derived. The purpose of this law is partially to compensate the sections embraced within forest reserves for the withdrawal of the lands and the restrictions imposed. No serious persoin questions the fact that 1t was the lcear purpose of Con. gress that this money should be ex. pended at it's source. Unfortunately, when the law was enacted. Alaska had no Legislature at all and evident. ly was not taken into consideration. Again. when Alaska was created in- to a Territory with a local Legisla- ture. the method adopted was radi- cally different from any previous Territorial creation by our govern ment and the various divisions of AL aska were allowed to remain as Di- visions and were not designated as Counties. In many other respects the Alaska enabling act restricted the ac- tivities of the people of Alaska be- yond the limitations of previous Ter ritorial creations. Doubtless the non-contiguousness of Alaska has something to do with the case, and also the vast size of the Territory and its conflicting interests and radi
 cally varied Conditions. as well as gross popular ignorance as to the true facts about Alaska. However
 be that as it may, ! found during the early days of the last Legislature
 that there was a disposition among some Of the members to hide behind these technicalites. and notwithstand. ing it was generally acknowledged that the First Division was morally entitled under the law and under the past and present conditions in Alas. ka. to the full amount of S52.O0O. that this division had paid into the fund, still finally. with three noted excep- tions. the members of the other di. visions voted solidly to take this money and divide it among all four divisions.
