Fort Lee Athletic Club Notes.

The smiling countenances on all the
members of the Fort Lee Athletic
Club attested to the fact that the
barn dance held Saturday night was
thorough success both socially and fl
nancially. Despite the inclement
weather the beautiful new club house
was crowded and the colored orches
ira proved to be a decidedly success
full novelty.
1t is evident that there is a real
"get together" spirit in the club and
its membership is increasing very
rapidly. At a meeting held Monday
night it was decided that a spread
would be prepared the first meeting
night of every month and all mem
bers are invited to bring their friends
to participate in the festivities.
The Entertainment Committee, an

the distilng and fortified liquor industries It has
long been much more than a suspicion among the
brewers that practically all the evils about which
society complains, directly traceabe the high
percented alcoholic liquors They argue with all the
skill of Rchelieu Bacon that if they dump the
whisky Jonah overheard the will be calm. Hence
they are proposing with singular unanmity to cut
loose from the dstilers and go it alone In some
quarters they are talking Of making terms with the
dry forces and joining them in onslaught against
the d1stlling industry. Others propose to manufac-
ture three-per cent beer and boost it as genuine
blown n-ln-the-botte temperance beverage In frantic
attempts at salvage the brewers already throwing
mirrors from upstairs windows and carefully carrying
bedticks out OF the burning buildings.
1t is needless to say that the temperance people
will not join the brewers in fight on the whisky
crowd They have sighted bigger game and will not
turn aside until it is bagged The brewers proposal is
virtual confession that the doom of the liquor traffic

Attitude of Daily Newspapers Augurs Bad for
the Liquor Interests

The Temperance Society of the Methodist Epis-
copa church recently addressed inquiries the 2I6o
daily newspapers of the United States, concerning
their attitude on liquor advertising. reply was re
ceived from 679 and of this number $50, three
fourths, refuse liquor advertising Of all kinds good
percentage of the remaining I5o admit only beer ad
vertisements. OF these 90 papers replying 900
editorial advocates of Prohibition.
1t is not at all unlikely that large number Of
dalies not replying to the temperance societys in
qury are on the dry side of the proposition.
No more powerful allies could possibly have been
mustered to the ranks of the enemies of the saloon
than the daily newspapers, and this magnificent show
ing in favor Of the temperance must come as
distinct shock to the makers of beer and whisky It
is another sign that plainly points the overthrow

The Problem of Destitution

Many OF the larger American cities and towns are
Just now confronted with widespread destitution
among their citizens The usual winter conditions
are aggravated by the existing industrial depression
In many instances public improvements are started
before the oected time in order to furnish work for
the unemployed Citizens urged by the municipal
authorities to do likewise. Charitable organizations
are requesting good housewives to have their house
cleaning and decoration done earlier than usual
The great problem in all charitable efforts is to
aid the deserving peer in such way to avoid de-
stroying the independence and self-respect of the
beneficiary Bread-lines and back-door giving pro-
duce dependents and dead-beats. ndisCrminate civ
ing IS social menace and should be prohibited bv
law 1t is hopeful sign of the times that in verv
large majority OF instances the effort is along the line
OF furnishing employment to those able to work
The question naturally arises, why should des-
t1tuon exlst? The is all the more difficult in
land OF opportunity and abundance 1t is indisput-
able that the liquor traffic, directly and indirecty is
the cause In very large majority Of cases. of poverty
Most OF these cases to be found in saloonnfested
towns. The correspondence between the number of
saloons IN city and the number of cases
OF dest1tuton is too frequent and outstanding
to be accidental There is little want in the rural
districts or in those sections of the country from which
the saloon has been banished
Had the working of America deposited in
bank the billion dollars and they spend annually
for drink they would be abundanty able to tide over
the winter and times of industrial depression The
problem of poverty and destituton will never be
solved while the saloon permitted to rob the wage

The Young Men in Congress Are Dry

Sixty-hve per cent of the congressman, forty-hve
years of age and under, who voted on the Hobson
resolution, VOTED FOR IT.
Nothing points definitely to the annihila-
ton OF the liquor traffic than this fact 1t reflects the
attitude OF the present generation toward alcohol.
The personal instruction given to by moth
enlisted under the banner of the W. c. T L.. the
agitation by the various temperance organizations the
pledge-sgning campaigns, have borne fruit, and
generation Of men and women opposed to alcohol,
assuming leadership III the affairs Of land. This
has found expression in the vote in Congress.
1t is noteworthy too that the age test holds good
when applied to the who lead in the fight Con
gresham Hobson is forty-four years of age The two
wet leaders, Underwood and Mann, are fifty-two and
ffty-eight respectively. Senator Sheppard who is
sponsor for the amendment in the senate is but
thirty-nine years of age.
Some congressman well along in years voted for
the amendment of course; some young registered
their vote against it, but the fact remains that sixty
five per cent of the younger men voted for it.
The liquor interests might just as we'll try to hold
back the tide Of the Atlantic attempt to check
the rising sentiment against alcohol. With the young
manhood and young WomanhoOd against them it can
not be done.
