PROHIBITION PROGRESS.
(By JAMES MIDDLETON, in World.

(By JAMES MIDDLETON. In Worlds
Work.
About two years ago Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan gave a diplomatic din.
ner In Washington, distinguished par.
t1cularly by the absence of wine. I'm
mediately the world burst into a roar
Of laughter; Europeans, especially,
hailed the proceeding as an amusing
illustration of American provincialism.
A few months ago the king Of England
announced that he would himself alb
stain from alcoholic drinks for the rest
Of the war, and that wines would no
longer be served in any of the royal
households. Nine American states
have adopted prohibition in the last
eight months. France has legally for
hidden the manufacture and sale OF
absinthe, and the Russian empire is
dryer" at the present moment than
Kansas or Maine ever were. Facts
like these testify to the progress that
the cause Of antialcoholism has made
In less than a year. When the leader
OF the most sophisticated society in
Europe follows the example Of our
own somewhat homespun secretary Of
state, the cause OF teetotalism has
ceased to be ridiculous.

Water Power In ireland.

A somewhat extensive water-power
scheme in Ireland, according to the
Irish Industrial Journal, involves the
combination of two powerhouses
utilizing the waters of the Shannon
and Erne. and capital expenditures
amounting to G1,50O, 900. The drain.
age area of the Shannon is 5000
square miles, and the average dis
charge is given as 1920 900 cubic feet
a minute at an available head of 40
feet, equivalent to some $4,000 horse
power, all the year round. 1t is pro
posed to utilize Loughs Derg, Rea and
Allen as storage reservoirs. The
catchment area of the Erne is almost
half that of the Shannon, but a head
Of GO feet is said to be available. Com.
paratively little in the way of dams
would be required, although consider.
able dredging would be necessary be.
low the fall. and a conduit would be
needed. 1t is proposed to establish
transmission lines to Dublin, Cork.
Waterford. Kilkenny. and other cen
tiers.

EFFECTS OF BEER DRINKING.
VConducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union)

EFFECTS OF BEER DRINKING.
The political strength Of liquor is
furnished by the wine and beer drink
ers. Whisky interests may be better
organized than the brewers and inter.
fere more actively in politics, but
the votes which make possible the
sale Of intoXicants are not furnished
by whisky drinkers, who do not al.
ways vote as they drink. The beer
drinker generally will vote to protect
his habit. because he is far from con.
WINGED of its malignancy.-From Ed.
torial in Chicago Tribune.
And that is why the W. c. T. U. and
other temperance organizations are
bringing to the masses the truth about
beer and its malignant effects upon
the human organism. Concerning
those effects the Life Extension insti.
tute says in a published statement:
"One-half OF one quart Of beer is
sufficient to distinctly impair memory
lower intellectual power and retard
simple mental processes, such as the
addition Of simple figures. This mar.
cotic or deadening influence is first
exerted on the higher reasoning pow.
ers that control conduct, so that the
lower activities OF the mind and merry.
GUS system are for a time released.
The everyday. well-poised. self-con.
trolled man goes to sleep. as It were,
and the primitive man temporarily
wakes up. Eventually, the nervous
system is narcotized, and the drinker
becomes sleepy. Muscular efficiency
is at first increased a little, and then
lowered, the total effect being a loss
of working power"

THE VIEW.

The special committee appointed by
the Socialists a year ago to study the
liquor problem says in its report, pre-
sented May Is to the national commit
tee In Chicago that total abstinence
Is the only absolutely safe and wise
course to pursue in view of the dis.
astrous effects Of excessive drinking.
Many Of the authorities quoted in
the report In condemnation OF beer
are German. Among alcohol's recorded
opponents are 800 German and Aus.
TRAN doctors. One statement Is that
beer is not the harmless beverage
many Of the German people think IT,

THE Socialist party" declares the
report, cannot remain Indifferent or
inactive, but should take a definite po-
sition and active part in combating
