Arguments for and against the
uss of alcohol as beverage continue
N mark the letters received on the
subject of prohibition. After dealing
With alcoholics and cases Of nervous
disorder for years, including expe-
r;ence in Bellevue Hospital, Charles
I. Dana gives his deductions He
believes in the strictest possible con-
,rol and regulation of the alcohol
traffic, but thinks prohibition is un-
wise. He writes:
n the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: am not in any propaganda as
,ecards prohibition, but have been
dealing practically with alcoholics and
nervous disorders for many years. At
Bellevue Hospital We received from
1900 to 5000 cases yearly. One can
not but reach conclusions after long
Intensive experience. 1t seems to me
that nv views are right or at least
nearer right than are those of people
sho have had only the sentimental or
academic standpoint.
At any rate, send you the follow
mo not as a letter to form part of g
d.bate but as data and conclusions
which are the result of a long expert
,,ee and sober consideration. And I
write not only as a medical specialist
hat as student Of public health.
livery strongly believe in the strict
.st possible control and regulation of
ihe alcoholic traffic. Personally, it
would give me the greatest possible
satisfaction and relief if alcohol could
be entirely eliminated except for medic
insl and commercial purposes, but I
10 not believe in the method of prohibi-
ton. | think it unwise and unneces-
sary and part of wrong public policy
IS regards racial health. I think it un-
wise. because believe that really in
!elligent, educated nation should pro-
,ect itself against moral dangers by its
own intelligence and training. and not
coddle itself by erecting legaI defences
against every temptation or opportu-
nifty for self-indulgence. believe it is
unnecessary, because it has already
been shown by the experiences of
other nations that the alcohol question
can be adequately controlled by gov
emmental regulations and that this
can be done without enforcing drastic
measures. which often lead to other
substituted evils. I believe the meas
ure unwise. also. because it is bad
policy to try to control morals by des-
potic sumptuary laws. Education is
always better than legislation as 6
measure Of fundamental reform. 1t is
cry feeble minded, undeveloped ant
uheducated races that need this alb
slute prohibition. We must at pres
snt keep alcohol from the Indians, tn.
negroes, children and the mentally de
iectiye and unstable.

The question of the use or disuse of
aieohol in any form or amount cannot
ss answered simply by laboratory ex-
periments which show what alcohol
does under certain conditions to ami
mails and healthy men or by public
statistics as to efficiency and non-ef-
heisney, because the utility or harm

Blames Saloon for
Most Evils Of Alcohol

A contributor in Spring Lake. N.
j., sends the following denuncia-
ton of saloons, whose abolishment
he favors, while defending the con-
sumption of light wines and beer:
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Every respectable man and
woman in our cities is without doubt
in favor of closing UP the low class
liquor saloon--the hotbed of crime,
misery and want to the working class,
degrading to the young, the resort ~
criminals, loafers, idlers. buns and the
unspeakable wretches who live Off Of
the earnings of ruined and degraded
women
If these 'dens Of infamy were closed
up there would be little need for pro-
hibtion. Their place could be filled by
open halls, where light wines and beer
could be served at tables, with no back
rooms, nor spirits, nor bars, and under
police rules and control.
The sale Of liquor in hotels, res
taurants and homes is, as a rule, not
demoralizing, nor actively injurious.
and does not reach nor injure the
working classes as does the liquor
saloon. 1t would seem that such set
the approval of fair-minded men. 1t
would satisfy the man who likes a cock
tail before dinner, an occasional stimu-
liant and glass Of wine for his guests,
and probably even meet the views Of
the ultra prohibitionist.
The liquor saloon works four-ffths Of
the evil caused by alcohol and should
be abolished. Even the physicians on
both sides of the question will admit
this.

SPOKANE, Wash, March 3O.-Old metals recently were contributed to the Red Cross here during a "trinkets and treasures" campaign. Much sill yer and gold was among the donations, although all sorts of metals were ac- cepted.

HAWAIIAN VICE RESORTS
 WILL BE CLEANED UP

HONOLULU, T. H., Feb. 30 (by maiD Drastic action toward the moral cleaning up of Honolulu has been taken by the local military au- thorities, following instructions re- ceivod from Washington, it became known here last night.
 The action begun takes the form of vigorous enforcement of section 13 of the selectiye draft act of last May, which prohibits the maintenance or operation of disorderly houses within five miles of an army post.
 Enforcement of this section. which has been delayed until the present. will affect all of the city of Honolulu and most of the rest of the island. there being military posts scattered over most of it.
 This is taken locally as meaning that commerciaIized vice is to be driven from Oahu by military author ity. The grand jury recently charged that the police and the city and county attorney deliberately tolerated and winked at vice which, it said, was prevalent in Honolulu.

.ULTRA MODERN METHODS
 USED AT CAMP KEARNEY

CAMP KEARNY, San Diego, Cal, March 3O.-The traditional camp fire has no place in Camp Kearney, where the Sunshine division" is preparing for it's work abroad. Cook with gas" is the motto in the kitchens and heat with gas" might be the motto in the offices aud assembly places which re- quire heat. Gas ranges are in use in every kitchen and gas heaters are used wherever there is need, except in a few minor ones, where electric heaters are used.
 The gas comes from the San Diego municipal supply, being piped to the camp. Similarly modern arrangements prevail as to electric light there be- ing wires and electric fixture in every building and ten where there is a permanent light source. Some of the stables, warehouses, and so forth, are equipped with lighting facilities.
 The camp water supply is the same as that in San Diego, being drawn from the city mains and raised by a series of booster stations" to the level of the high plain on which the camp is situated. Each station has it's electric motor and results, sanitary of ficers at the camp say, have been very satisfactory, as an ample supply of water has been available at all , times. A reservoir of 100000. gallon capacity, located on high ground near the camp, provides reserve sup ply in case of emergencies, such as failure of a motor at one of the boost CT stations" It has not been neces' sary to draw upon this reserve sup
 ply in any great degree since the water system was completed.

CHAPTER XVI

It required twenty-One rounds for Corbett to whip Sullivan. And, during those twenty-one rounds there was not a time when Sullivan was able to land a solid blow on his youthful, speedy tended himself with speeding about the right, ducking inside occasionally to rip home a long left that finally closed Sullivan's eyes and cut his face to ribbons. Sullivan, fat and slow, coud neither catch Corbett to hit him, nor could he protect himself from the blows that, deadly-in precision, rip ped home one after the other
 Sullivan believed the end was com ing With tears in his eyes, he told his seconds he couldn't hit the tall, rangly fellow from the west He knew that his ways of living had brought him to the threshold of defeat. But his lion heart and determination car ried him on until he dropped from sheer exhaustion For the first time in his life he heard a referee count the fatal ten over his prostrate form.
 Speaking after the fight Sullivan de- clared he knew everything that was going on and made every effort to get up. His body responded to his will but, he said, his legs were prac- tically paralyzed.
 As the last count rang out in the tense air that surrounded a nevy heavyweight champion. Jim Corbett turned from his prostrate foe and re. ceiyed mighty ovation, but when a second later, the mighty form of John L. Sullivan finally came to a standing posture and reeled to the ropes, the crowd hushed at the rais ing of his hand.
 Gentlemen" shouted the gruft voice of the old gladiator q am glad an American beat me He's a better man than I am"
 And with choking throats and throb ping hearts, a loyal boxing crow( roared a cheer that shamed the salvt

CHAMPION

which had acclaimed Corbett as the new champion
 Away from the ring that day John L. Sullivan wept his grief among his friends. The end finally had come to his invincibility and he realized it. He also realized that it was liquor that was to blame-not the fact that he had met his master. He drank a bottle of beer while he dressed in his hotel room, and, gazing at the liquid, he told friends:
 "If I had just stuck to that all my life instead of drinking whiskey I wouldn't be here today, grieving over lost title I'd still be the cham pion."
 Back to New York he went after his bout, a completely broken-hearted man. His sister met him at his hotel in New York, and, with their arms around each other, they both wept over the misfortune which finally had caught up with the huge Boston champion Crowds of curious follow CTS and friends of John l.. wiped tears from their own eyes as they wit messed the pathetic meeting between brother and sister.
