REGISTRATION WILL
DETERMINE ELECTIONS
Kansas City, Missouri, Is Urging vot-
ers to Register So That 1t Viii Be
Possible to Defeat the Machine
Control at Election

In Kansas City, Mo-. they view the
success or failure of the approaching
general election, as far as getting
good men elected TO Office is con-
cerned. TO be determined on October
Is, although the election will be held
on the 5th day of November 1t is
pointed out that regardless of the de-
sire OF the clean element to win the
election this can only be done by
actually casting the votes. These
votes cannot be cast unless they are
registered. October Is is the day set
for registration. New voters, voters
already registered but who have NOV
ed from their former addresses, must,
go 10 the registration booths on DC
tober Is and become properly re-
corded.
1t is pointed out in the Kansas City
Star that the reason why the machine
politicians so frequently win in the
elections even though their votes are
actually a minority is because they
always have their vote registered,
while the other vote frequently has
not been registered. There IS an ac-
tive campaign to have registration

Bishop OF London in a statement lie
made at conference OF the TEMPER
ance Council OF the Christian
Churches at Claxton Hill recently. AZ
this meeting approval was expressed
for the program which provides SUN
day closing, reduction of licenses,
abolition of grocer licenses, no sale
OF drink to young people, non-alco-
hol1c refreshments in recreation and
social intercourse, halls instituted 10
take the place of drink shops. Reduce
ing from nineteen and a half hours
time for drink selling daily in London
to five and a half hours has increased
sobriety 10 remarkable degree. The
improved conditions under severe re-
strictions which have been placed
through actions OF Parliament have
shown. according to this conference,
that the statement is misleading that
people cannot be made sober by ac-
tons of Parliament. The enforcement
OF this regulative measure with its
consequent benefits provides the nee
essary ground to sustain by practical
experience the demands OF the COM
mon people that there shall be COM
plete elimination of the beverage i'd
uor traffic. The Bishop OF London
states that as one who has worked
for woman's suffrage he would be
greatly disappointed if six million
women voters would not use their
votes to further temperance reforms.
Increased restrictions leading up to
ultimate elimination is the program
for the people of London.

By Man Employed in an Ammunition Plant

mans physical endurance Is reduced
to some extent by the use OF alco-
holics.
The extent to which this reduces
production and efficiency can only be
estimated. Ii varies witt, every man,
but, in gang OF men, 1T is not much
less than 20 per cent. To state def
nitely that ii is more than 10 per cent
is we'll within the margin. and on a
basis OF three thousand shells a day,
which is a good output Tor a large
plant, it means, even at this low per
cent (on men who haven't quito, A
LOSS TO THE AMERICAN
ARMY, FOR ITS IMMEDIATE
NEEDS, OF THREE HUNDRED
SHELLS \ DAY, THREE THOU
SAND IN Ten DAYS. AND THIR-
TY THOUSAND SHELLS IN ONE
HUNDRED WORKING DAYS IN
ONE PLANT. The same ratio on
other items OF ordnance. Multiply
this i'll proportion to the total amount
OF production, known only to thc~War
Department, and then consider the
fact that this per cent is far below
actually IT TAKES MANY MEN
TO MAKE A SHELL, ONE IN
EFFICIENT MAN CAN SPOIL IT.
Manufacturers who have experience
ed both wet and dry are agreed that
absence for illness and accident is re-
duced about Is per cent under dry.
For our purpose it is perfectly safe to
estimate a reduction of over so per
cent. This is an important item in
itself. In our crew of almost 1000
men, it required most of the time OF
one office man to arrange adjustment
of injury cases among the men. He
once showed me a handful of many
reports to the State" that repre-
scented one days toll.
The liquor industry and the hold it
has taken upon us-the extent to
which it reduces man power, effici-
ency, restraints public men and re-
tards, to an appreciable per cent, pro-
ductio1 Of military equipments a
very striking example of German eff
cheney and kultur.
This Germanized industry is not
permitted by Army and Navy officials
to make its inroads on the health and
efficiency of the Boys in Arms .
why do we permit it to impair the
efficiency of the boys to make the
arms?
If alcohol is poison, as a regular
diet, to the combat soldier and sailor,
how can it be otherwise to the indus
trial soldier?
A man is no stronger, physically,
than his stomach. And no more eff
cient than his head. A poison that re-
duces a mans production by weaken
ing his muscles, and reduces his eff
cheney by weakening his mental di-
rcction, should receive no tolerance
in an intensive campaign to promote
war production.

The latest claim for booze is that
it will aid in combating Spanish in
fiuenza." A large percentage of these
cases have resulted in pneumonia. As
it has been proven over and over that
il is almost impossible for habitual
drinkers of alcoholic liquors to re-
cover from pneumonia, it is plain to
see that those who are stricken with
the "hu" and who drink booze with
the hope Of it helping them to recover
are doing the worst thing possible.
