CALLS LIQUOR TRAFFIC
BIGGEST SOCIAL WASTE
Lenten Speaker Shows Eco
nomic Loss Caused by Booze
in This Country

The liquor tranlc was bitterly arralgned
as the greatest economic waste in the
United States by the Rev. George Crad
Stewart. J.. IT. d, Of Evanston, ILL.,,
today at the MONDAY Lenten service in
the Garrick Theatre Mr.. Stewart deliv-
cred the second Of hts series OF three ad-
dresses on The Colors OF the Repub-
lie" speaking today on "The White"
The liquor traffic" he said, costs us
three times as much as meat, five times
as much as shoes seven times as much as
tea and coffee, 10 times as much as our
public schools and so times as much as
teachers of the Gospel. 1t costs us
S7,O00,0 00G TO care for the inmates Of our
almshouses, and as per cent Of them are
there either directly or Indirectly from
drink
"Our criminals cost us $50 100000, and
as per cent OF crime can be traced to
drink. 1t costs us more than $4,000. 900
to care for the Insane, and oue.fourth of
the insanity can be traced directly or in
directly to drunkenness
drunkenness md slavery-the two
great causes of the fall Of Rome-are
threatening our national life" Mr.. Stewart
added. "The slavery of this nation, how.
ever. is no longer slavery of race, but
white slavery"

Father Butler Speaks With Barren
Fig Tree" as Theme

"No other misfortune can compare with
the misfortune of offending God" said the
Rev John G. Butler, $. j., today at tho
MONDAY Lenten services I'm Old st. Jo-
sep's Church
"The fig trec planted In the rich soil
of the vineyard and tended carefully by
the dresser represents the soul" he said
us the soul barren? or does It pro-
duce fruit? There is only one thing that
can wither tho soul, make It unfruitful and
even destroy 1t, and that one thing is
mortal sin.
MY soul must not be like the barren
fig tree. Penance will restore life to
the withered tree It will restore Gods
grace to our souls"

other diseases, eight were due to
tuberculous meningitis and three from
cerebro-spinal meningitis. Inc re-
mainder were divided between thirty
four other diseases ranging from hys-
terra to measles. &,
During the course of the epidemic,
said Health Commissioner Emerson
1T was repeatedly intimated that the
plague was largely creation Of the
Health Department and that large
number of cases were not due to IN
fantile paralysis. The large number
of individuals left with some degree
of permanent paralysis is in itself
sufficient to refute the absurd charge.
"Out OF 2.715 cases followed up care
fully in their homes, 1885 were found
to have a serious paralysis of one or
both lower limbs and TO be incapable
of locomotion; $50 more were partial
" paralyzed in the lower limbs, al,
though still able to walk. and 273 had
one or both arms totally paralyzed'

Proclamation in
Closing
STATE OFFICERS
ARE REELECTED
DR.. Shaw Brings Promise
of Keystone Aid in
Campaign
From stan Correspondent, o, III. Tribune. ]

from a stan Correspondent OF Tbs Trbune.l
Albany, Nov. 23.-The New York suf-
fragists at the close of their state con-
vention here to-day found themselves
grateful for so many things that moth
ing would express their emotions but
a Thanksgiving proclamation of their
own.
Their memorial began with the
words of President Wilson in the ma
tional Thanksgiving proclamation, but
veered quickly to suffrage topics, as
follows:
Whereas, In the year that has
elapsed the whole face of the world
has been darkened by war, out of that
war emancipation has come to the
women OF Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatche-
wan, British Columbia, Yucatan and in
some measure to the women of Hol-
land.
"Whereas, One year ago 553,34S vot-
crs supported at the polls our desire
to enter into full citizenship;
"Whereas, We are therefore assured
that our desire for political emancipa-
ton has the support of a large and in
creasingly large number of the male
citizens Of the country; and,
"Whereas, We believe that we have
been created equally intelligent and
equally patriotic with our brothers,
equals also in enthusiasm for civic
righteousness;
ave. women Of the greatest state IN
the greatest republic Of the world, here
assembled in annual convention, do
Resolve, To announce Thanksgiv-
ING of our own for the support Of the
half million votes at the polls No
vember, 1915. and for that evolution
in thought, in which we firmly trust
to make us citizen equals with the men
of our state in 1917"
DR.. Shaw Brings Aid
One of the best things the sufrsgists
had 10 be thankful for to-day was DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, and the support
che brought to New York from the SIS
ter suffragists of Pennsylvania. The
venerable leader had come directly
from the convention of the Pennsyl-
vania suffragists. She had spoken un.
iii II O'Clock last night, and travelled
ali night and until noon to get here.
she was tired and pale, but the well
come she received from the convention
seemed TO repay her.
"Our cause is always won. and al
ways is going to be won, until 1T is
won," she told them.
The suffragsts Of Pennsylvania, she
said, were anxious TO do whatever they
