DOMAIN, OF TEMPERANCE
THE LIQUOR SITUATION IN
GREAT BRITAIN. &

The people of Great Britain are
quite evidently hating between two
opinions regarding the alcoholic liquor
traffic.
The facts upon which they must
base conclusions and provide action
are seemingly contradictory.
Upon the one hand is the fact that
strict regulation of the drink traffic
has been achieved. Liquors may be
sold only from noon to 2:30 and from
$50 to $3.50 in the evenings. The
strength of spirits and beer has been
greatly reduced. Treating" has dis
appeared. Many dangerous public
houses have been closed and many
temperance canteens opened. There
has been reduction in drunkenness
of rather more than 1870. In 1913
there were 11S,267 convictions for
drunkenness in England and Wales.
| In 1917 there were 3O,216 Between
1913 and 1916 the weekly average of
| convictions was reduced in London
from 1859 to 556. There was similar
reduction in Birmingham, Manchester,
Liverpool and Glasgow.
There has been a corresponding de-
| cline in deaths in which alcohol has
been causative factor In England
and Wales the number of such deaths
in 1913 (partial record only was
Sill; and in 1917, 2,S63. Deaths from
suffocation of infants under one year
| declined from 1926 to 704.
The Other Side.
| Upon the other hand is the fact
that the trade in alcoholic liquors has
successfully defied the nation and vio-
lated every principle of patriotism.
According to those who should know,
Great Britain was at one time within
20 minutes Of war prohibition. The
liquor men practically threatened ma
tional destruction and prohibition was
abandoned, with the result that Great
Britain found herself with her back
to the wall' at the very time when she
should have been celebrating complete
victory. Ii. 49,. e.;
The drink trade INDUCED in riot
Of profiteering during the war. The
largest drink bill for any pre-war year
was 185,927,000 pounds in 1899. In
1917 the bill was 259,OOO,000 pounds.
Permission to make weak liquors and
charge high prices gave the powerful
liquor trade enormous profits. ALI
sops, which had a pre-war average
profit of $4,000 pounds, made in 1916
I17,164,900 pounds. Similar increases
were shown by Arnold, Perritt; Bass,
Ratcliff; Croswells and other interna-
tionally known concerns. At the same
time the revenue from drink in 1915
declined from 60,300,00O pounds to
IS, 100000 pounds in 1917. II H.,
i Outside of the trade, sentiment in
Great Britain is undoubtedly for pro-
hibition, but the drink traffic has such
a hold upon machinery that it will
probably be destroyed only by gradual
processes. Claims have been made
that labor in England is opposed to
prohibition, but this is not indicated
by the results of plebiscites taken in
industrial centers. --

Under the new Code of Canol

Under the new Code of Canon
Law indulgences attached to pious
objects are no longer personal as
they formerly were. Canon 924
declares that rosaries and other
objects of piety cease to be indul-
genced when they are destroyed
or sold. One can, therefore, now
lend ones rosary beads, crucifix
indulgenced for the Way of the
Cross, etc, without loss Of the in
diligence attached to them. When
they are given the indulgences
can be gained by the person upon
Nhom they are bestowed.
