NO SUCH THING AS
 MODERATE DRINKING
To Editor of The Labor Press:

To Editor of The Labor Press:
 With many of the editorials in The Labor Press 1 find myself in hearty ac- cord, and your news columns are all ways interesting. The editorial from the New York World which you practi- caly adopt as your own, on the tyranny of the majority" contains a timely warning. There is certainly q present tendency of expression on the part ot government amounting in spots almost to a 'panicky'' feeling, which telus 10 arouse unfortunate reactions ana thereby to aggravate rather than to remedy. -' But as one especially interested in prohibition may I ask whether that measure has really destroyed personal ilberty as much as it has strengthened It.! What is Prohibition It is q poncy of government, not to forbid uIlilk1ng, but to put stop to a traffic winch IS essentially damaging in it's ef- rect upon those who drink and esne- c1aily upon the social welfare because ot the acts of those who drink. The supreme Court of the United States has comprehended the facts in its statement that the liquor traffic is greater source of crime and misery" than any other Dus1ness. This statement from the high est authority should give pause to every candid citizen: Why should such a order? '00isi
 But, as some say Prohibition is ex- cessive and into1erant. There shouId he regulation of the traffic, to the end that pure liquors may be sold to those who will drink in moderation and in an or- derly manner" But here again let me S; say that something new has appeared in tne age-long temperance reform: some th1ng new, which has changed the whole aspect of the temperance oues- ton III recent years, and that new thing IS the revelations of modern science aS to the physical nature and effect of a1- cohol. VI e'i-
 It has been proved indisputab1y that alcohol IS not what men have so long supposed it to be; it is not food. nof stlmulant, not even a wholesome die tet1c, but always and everywhere deadly nerve-paralyzer and no man can take 1t into his system in any form with considerable degree of ire quency or regularity, without damage to his entire being No man who will attempt to deny this. The man who uses alcohol as drink today, in the light ot what modern science has shown as to its physical nature and effect. is deluding himself. -
 Really, in the light of modern sci ence, there IS no such thing as mod crate drinking" no such thing as "well-regulated saloon." There has never been, and never can be, any place where alcoholic drinks are sold, from whose traffic there does not proceed far more of harm than of good, both to individuals and to the community.
 Is not this true? And if true, why should any sane man wish to drink the stuff; why should any man who has 1t; and why should not the traffic be interdicted, on behalf of "the general welfare" which government is ordain- ed to protect and conserve?
 Sincerely yours.

from war conditions. The Public Health Service has branches in every state in the Union, as have our own activities, and our joint work with them is solv- ing many problems for the ex-soldier who needs medical aid.
 Similarly, we are working with the Federal representatives i'll getting action on delayed cases of vocational training for other men. We are now in position to take up individual cases through our various employment bureaus, and we can practically promise prompt action to every enlisted man still in need of help of this character He has only to apply to our nearest employment bureau for soldiers.
 War risk problems of soldiers and sailors are now handled by these bureaus, as we'll. Our representatives also go after Liberty Bond troubles and adjust them properly"
 In many important cities and towns, representatives of the civic and welfare associations have been formed recently into permanent committees meeting regularly with officers of the Public HeaEh Service and Federal Board of Vocational Education, with the idea of uniting their efforts for the nations fighting men. It Is pointed out that when all the organizations work inde- pendently there Is bound to be confus- ion. With a union of endeavor 1t is expected that the soldier who needs Government aid will get the maximum of assistance i'll the promptest manner possible. These committees will be or ganized wherever necessary.

 Tt has been found," says Lieut.. Col. Mathew C. Smith in bulletin, today, ''that there are many soldiers who do not need a job, but who do require our help i'll solving their individual prob 1ems. The Government has provided abundant relief for them. In many cases the men do not know of this relief or they do not know how to go about get ting it. Our problem is to bring the information to the men and have them reach the Government agents who can give them the help they need.
 ''In this work it is necessary to work through those who have contact with the men. The welfare, civic and fra brought into cooperation with the Fed eral agencies they make the connecting link between the two.
 Some men are ignorant of the fact that they are in line for Government assistance, and others who know that they are entitled to benefits do not un- derstand how to go about securing them. Others have been careless, and many let ters are left unheeded by the men which would speedily bring assistance in spe- cial cases, if answered.
 'For example, ex-en1isted men do not yet generally realize that the Public Health Service is at their disposal. Our field representatives are engaged in effort to reach cases of dis ability and illness which have resulted

Marion, o.. Dec. l7.--The next
