LIQUOR DEALERS DEFENSE
(New York WORLDLY

tNew York Worid.)
Militant probation begins to have
its natural effect. The liquor interests
organize for defense. The New York
State Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton, which begins its annual conven-
ton soon at Utica, plans to bring into
one organization industries allied with
the liquor business-such as mineral
water makers, icemen, l~aundrymen.
delieatessen dealers, etc. AS the
president Of the association saws;
Every industry in the world defends
itself. Why not the liquor industry,
with twenty-sevcn thousand Of us
paying taxes to state and Nation I"
The retail liquor dealers of this
state will pay into the state treasury
this year 22h million dollars. Nobody
that the state could spare this
or a greater one for an equiyal-
ent Of sobriety and moral strength.
Maybe some day il will be proved
that moral strength in man or nation
increases directly with government
regulation. Those who toll at the
demonstration never seem to lose
courage.

EDUCATION AGAINST ALCOHOL

tine Outlook}
Reason is by far the most powerful
ally Of the law in the growing cam
paign against the use of alcoholic
stimulants. The testimony of ply
s~icisns, Of insurance men. and Of en-
ployers is accommodating with startling
rapidity as to the damage which
arises from the use and abuse Of IL
quor.
One Of the most effective advocates
of temperance who has recently been
brought before the public attention is
DR.. S. S. Goldwater, the commission
er of Health for New York City. His
department has for some time in the
past been issuing educational leaflets
on the subject Of intemperance. 1t
now proposes to outline a scheme for
an extensive educational campaign
against the use Of alcohol. In the
weekly bulletin of this department the
following statement justifying the
r Of the commissioner has been
recently made:
"A dimunition in the consumption
of alcohol by the community, accord
ing to those who are in a position to
know and TO Judge would mean less
tuberculosis less poverty, less de-
tendency, and less pressure on our
hospitals, asylums, and jails. Intern
perate drinking of parents weakens
the vitality of children. Drinking
mothers lose twice as many babies as
do sober mothers. More alcoholism
is found in the parents Of feeble
minden children than in the parents
Of normal children. The children Of
drinkers develop more slowly and do
poorer school work than do the chill
dren Of abstainers. Alcohol impairs
the tone Of the muscles, lessons the
product of laborers, d~epreciates the
skill and endurance Of artisans, i'm
pairs memory, multiplies industries
accidents, causes chronic disease Of
the heart, liver, stomach, and kidneys,
increases the death rate from pneu.

Don't Judge a man by his clothes.
God made one and the tailor made
the other. Don't judge a man by
his family, Cain belonged to a good
family. Don't Judge man by his
failure in life, for many a man fails
because he is too honest to succeed q.
Don't judge a man by the house
he lives in, for the lizard and the
rat often inhabit the grander struc-
ture. When a man dies they who
survive him ask what property has
he left behind; the angel who bends
over the dying man asks what good
deeds he has sent before him.
