tFlat n cultured community can sud
denly dispense with stimulahts. slf the
aim is to produce a non-alcoholic com
munity, this end must be achieved
through legislation imposing gradual
restrictions, so that the present and
possibly the next generation may be
afforded time to change their habits.
In conclusion the board, while en-
phasizing the necessity for vigorously
fighting this misuse of alcohol, recon-
mends that the personal restriction
system now in force in Sweden be fur
thcr. tested developed and improved.
Sweden has used the Pratt system
for seven years. Under it the coun-
try's inebriate record reached the low
est figures since 1918 during the first
quarter of this%year, according to the
Swedish Social board. The drop in the
incbriety record has been especially
marked in and about Stockholm, where
it amounts to no less than 36.S per
cent, compared to the last quarter of
1921. In some Swedish provincial
towns drunkenness has decreased 55 to
so pGr cent.

which radio waves, which can De re-

PRo4lsIrIoMtN SWEDEN. :
Election to Be Held In August of This
Year.

ITO deprive the majority of citizens,
who do not misuse alcoholic liquors, or
what is for them an innocent stimu-
liant because a small number Of people
abuse liuuor, seems to be rather dra-
comic decree"
This opinion is found in the official
report just issued by the medical board
of Sweden on the proposed introduction
of total prohibition, says Stockholm
dispatch. 1t has aroused intense in
terest throughout the country, which IS
now in the midst of a nation wide con-
fict between the prohibition forces and
those who want to maintaip the pres
ent so-called Bratt rationing system,
whereby only those who have openly
shown their abuse of alcohol are de-
prived of its use. Sweden will vote on
the liquor question August 27, of this
year.
The medical board points out further
that q large number of physicians be-
! lieve that under certain circumstances,
and in cases of certain diseases, alco-
hol cannot be dispensed with without
great disadvantages, and it says tnat
not only the fatal consequences OF the
abuse of alcohol should be considered,
but also those effects that cannot be
characterized as harmful 1t declares
that most Of the so-called primitive
races used alcohol and expresses doubt

EDITOR HEARS SERMON.
And Tells Readers They Will Get the
News REGARDLESS.

In the course of sermon in one OF
the local churches yesterday, we heard
remark by the preacher to this ef-
feet:
There are preachers, you know, who
will give their congregations nice,
pleasant sugar. coated sermons, sort
OF milk and water, Cruel diet, so 10
speak, and soothe their consclences
and those of their people by assuming
that all are Christians and the ROAD
to Heaven is wide open and pain sail
ing and there's nothing to do but Sit
steady and breeze in with all sails "a
furl. | want to say to you that this is
still the church militant and that
Christianity is at warfare against sin
and evil and wickedness and that it
takes stern measures and sound gospel
preaching to bring folks to their duty.
The church of God is a fighting Or
ganiZation and il wants no milk-sop
preachers for leaders Of its fghtlng
forces" .,
And as we sat and listened, we
thought of how nice and pleasant and
what n soft snap we would have If we
could carry out that policy in running
a newspaper, viz never to print any
thing but complimentary remarks
about people, always to evade the truth
or sugar coat it if it hit anybody or
caused a little embarrassment. II
would be so easy never to attend any
of the courts or city council or county
commissioner meetings, and keep the
people in blissfull ignorance Of what's
going on We could fill the paper with
other stuff that would probably be in
tcresting reading, but in time we would
come to be known as a spinelcss, in
sipid sheet, afraid TO speak up and
print the news. When the daily paper
was delivered this would be the COM
ment: "Oh, we know what's in this pa
per before we read 1t, a little society
news and country correspondence. It's
controlled by the advertisers and in
tcrests, you know, and its policy Is set
for it and it dare not disobey the man
date of the bosses"
1t would be mighty easy to be pol
litely blind or considerably deaf on
some occasions, but it is not the policy
of this paper. Ninety per cent OF our
circulation expects us to print the
news and tell the truth and this we IN
tend to do.-Gastnnia Gazette.

- About forty miners, most Of them
imported workers. were killed in
fight between union mon and strike
breakers Ak the Lester Strip mine,
near Herrin. Illinois, yesterday. II is
said that about 5000 striking miners
attacked the strike breakers. The
strike breakers claim their men were
murdered in cold blood. There seems
TO be little doubt that there was fight
for it on both Nsides. 1t had not been
possible to check the death list up
last night although it was known that
there were as many as 27 dead and
1t was said that at least twenty i'm
ported miners were missing. One
story has it that fifteen imported
miners were thrown into pond with
rocks about their necks.

ury receipts before noted.
Of the eighty-six counties of the
state, fdrty-four receive more from
the state treasury than they paid in.
They paid state taxes amounting to
S2,5O3, 536.7O and received directly
$3,890,832.33. The other forty two
counties paid in more than they re-
