ENCOURAGE DISTILLERS TO
TAKE UP NEW ENTERPRISE
Louisville Business Men See Great
Possibilities in Industrial Alcohol
Trade

Business men of Louisville, Ken
lucky, are expected to call the atten-
ton Of the Board of Trade to the
possibilities of the distilleries of Ken
lucky being utilized for the manu-
facturc of commercial alcohol.
Various interests believe that a
business almost as large as that of
liquor can be built up in Kentucky
along this line, says the Louisville
Evening Post The movement was
given good start recently when it
was announced that three distillery
plants in the city were sold and will
be converted into plants for the man
ufactu-e of grain alcohol.
A dispatch from Henderson, KY,
states that the Kraver Distillery Com
pany's plant is now being remodeled
and the owners hope to be able to
start the manufacture of its product
in .hree months. Another report
from Frankfort states that the In
dustrial Food Products Company of
Buffalo, N. Y, has purchased two Of
the largest distillery plants in Frank
fort and will devote them to making
commercial alcohol Recently it was
announced the Elk Run distillery
would be used for the same purpose.
This is one of the largest distillery
properties in the world.

On February %, 1912, at a time
when the drinking OF liquor was al
most a universal habit among all
classes, Mr.. Licoln delivered his ia
nous temperance speech at SPRING
field, ILL.,, which has been frequently
published. 1t may be found in Vol.
ume ! of Nicolay and Hays great
work on Licoln. 1t is such a complete
and characteristic statement of Mr..
Lincoln's views on temperance that
when a friend of his son, Robert I.
Lincoln, asked him for his fathers
views OH that subject, he replied by
sending him a copy of that address.
Leonard SWEET, in his "Reminis-
cences OF Abraham Lincoln" says that
Mr.. Lincoln declared to him on one
occasion that he never drank nor
tasted a drop of alcoholic liquor Of
any kind"
In 1917, while he was member of
Congress, Mr. Lincoln gave as a rea-
son Tor refusing to drink wine that
he had made solemn promise to his
dying mother that he would never
use as a beverage any. thing intoxi-
eating, and 81 consider that pledge
said he, "as binding today as it was
the day gave it"
On February 81, 1860, when he de-
livered his Cooper Institute address
in New York, he was asked to drink
by prominent citizens, and the papers
of that day commented on the fact
that he declined to do so, giving as a
reason that it was his invariablc rule
not to use liquor.
When he received the committee
who waited on him at his home in
Springfield to notify him of his nomi-
nation as a candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1860, Mr.. Lincoln's friends
offered to provide liquors for the &C.

said: 81 have never been in the habit

shall provide cold water-nothing
else To the committee he offered
water with the remark that ut is
pure Adams ale, the most healthy
beverage that God has given TO men
and the only beverage | have ever
used or allowed my family to use"
These facts were published at the
time and attracted attention through
out the country.
In 1865, when on the steamer River
Queen on his way to City Point to
visit General Grant, President Lincoln
was offered some champagne as a
remedy for seasiekness, from which
he was suffering. mo, no, my young
friend" said he, Il have seen many
man in my time scasick ashore from
drinking that very article"
On the day that President Lincoln
was assassinated Maj ]. B. Merwin
was guest at dinner at the White
House. As he was about to depart,
Mr. Lincoln said TO him: "Merwin,
we have cleaned up with the help of
the people colossal job. Slavery is
abolished. After reconstruction the
next great question will be the over
throw and abolition of the liquor
traffic, and you know that my head
and heart and hand and purse will go
into that work. In lS42--less than
