LIQUOR RATIONING
49,. REDUCES IT'S USE
Only Half as Much Consumed In Sweden
Now as I'm 19II-Cards Used by
individuals

STOCKHOLM. Feb. l3.-Thc- con
sumption of intoxicating liquors in Swe-
den has been reduced nearly 30 per cent
since the beginning of 1914 when Swe-
den's liquor rationing system went into
effect. This is shown by the latest Off
cial reports which state that the reduc-
tion took palce without absolutely OK
Guiding anyone from the use Of alcoholic
Stimulants except those who abused the
law by drinking to excess
Under the Swedish rationing system
individuals are given cards upon which
they can obtain given amount OF dis
titled liquor or wines. The maximum
amount allowed to any individual is
about seven and one-half pintS per
month and this is allowed TO married
men. Married women receive no allow
ance except from their husbands cards.
while unmarried women receive as low
as one and one-half pints per month. On
special occasions such as weddings or
festivities these allowances are increased
if requested.
The rationing cards are revoked in the
case of individuals convicted of drunken.
ness. The official report states that the
number of inebriates whose licenses have
been taken away have decreased . enor-
mOusly In 1913 the number of inebri-
ateS who lost their licenses to buy intoxi-
cants was 5O.42 persons per thousand
while in 1921 only 1856 persons per
thousand were found guilty of drunken
ness.
The consumption of distilled liquors in
Sweden in 1913 amounted to S,J41 .04S
literS, a liter bein a triie less than two
pintS. In 1927 the Swedish people used

engagements to respect territorial integ-
rity. The President asks, Why should
we not make reciprocal engagements TO
respect the territory of others and con-
tract their respect of ours Another
massage which was marked as inviting
comparisons with the Wilson utterances in
favor of the league is this paragraph in
Mr.. Harding's address
IF nations may not safely agree to
respect each others rights and may not
agree to confer If one to the compact
threatens trespass, or may not agree TO
advise if one party to the pact is threat
ened by an outside power, then all con-
certed efforts to tranquilize the world and
stabilize peace must be flung TO the
winds" So a.
And here is what Mr.. Wilson sup
ported in the famous article 10:
The members of the league undertake
to respect and preserve as against eXter
nal aggression the territorial integrity
and existing political independence of all
members of the league. In case of any
such aggression or in case of any threat
or danger of such aggression the council
shall advise upon the means by which
this obligation shall be fulfilled.
Advise and Confer ..
The Republicans sin the senate didn't
accept Mr.. Wilson's Interpretation of
what the word advise meant. They
Gratis now accept Mr. Harding's interpre-
tation-his denial that the Horsepower
pact contains any obligation to fight and
his promise that the words. advise and
confer" do not mean conference hostile
to the power or powers who threaten to
violate the new treaties!
Senator Borah of Idaho already differs
i'll his construction of the meaning of
the treaties. Senator Johnson objects on
more or less the same ground. An entire
presidential campaign was fought on inn
piled meanings of words. The disposition
of the majority in congress today is to
accept the Harding Interpretation. The
Democratic ranks are divided by the con-
version of Senator Underwood, Democrat,
to the Republican viewpoint. The weap-
ons of ambiguous words are, therefore,
both sides just the same as in the league
of nations fight. but at present writing
the Democrats are not sufficiently CO.
hcsive to defeat the Harding Hughes
treaties.

Observation-Disclosures Increase In Min
listers than i'm Congregations More
AT0rIneps than Jews in This Country.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Eyery day
during the last five years an average of
2,I73 persons joined the various churches
of America. During the same time an
average number Joining the ministry has
been four and one-half persons a day.
These facts are brought to light by re-
ligious statistics for the United States
compiled by DIR. f. O. Watson, Washing
ton secretary of the federal council of
the Churches of Christ in America. The
figures show that the churches are stead
ilysF overcoming their war losses. The
total church membership of the country,
according to the latest available figures
is, 1891 1879 This is an increase of 4,0T0,
345 over the 1916 census figures and indi-
Gates a gain OF more than a million mem
hers for the preceding u months.
The various religious bodies report
233 l04 congregations headed by 100000
ministers. This is gain OF 5,6l7 congre-
cations and 1921 clergy over the govern
ment figures for 1916. While there has
been much talk of n shortage of minis
tiers the increase in clergy has been APP
proximately 50 per cent more than the
increase in the congregations. The 3d.
Ola difference between ministers and
congregations does not indicate a CORE
spending shortage of pastors, as many
ministers, especially in the rural dis
tricts, have charge of two or more
churches.
OF the 4J, 90, 100 persons listed officially
as church members. the Roman Catho-
lies have l7,s85,646 Roman Catholic
figures represent estimated population
including all baptized persons. Protest
ant bodies count only communicates.
The total religious constituency of
the country Gncluding all members and
adhercntsl is placed at 95.85S ,096 persons.
Owing to different statistical methods
of the various churches these figures are
estimated in accordance win studies
made by statisticians. On 4his compar-
dble basis the constituency of the vari-
Gus great bodies is as follows
Protestants 74.795, 226; Roman Catho-
lies l7.Ss5,646; Jews l.l20000: Eastern
Orthodox (Greek and Russianl 4lla54;
Latter Day Saints lMormons) l646,170.

FOR RATIFICATION
Some of Harding's Views I'm Concord

Senators Resent His References to

By DAVID LAWRENCE.


Especial Dispatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The first
impulse of the Democrats in the United
States senate is to ratify the group of
treaties submitted by President Harding
though in so doing they have in their
hearts an unmistakable feeling that they
ought to make an exception of the four
power Pacific treaty.
The treaty which puts an end to the
Anglo-Japanese alliance will be eonsid-
cred last and will be debated more than
the Others.
President Harding's address to the sem
ate is the subject Of much discussion III
congressional circles. Its general effect
was beneficial. But several senators are
suggesting that Mr. Harding, who from
the start has shown little desire to use his
addresses TO the senate for partisan re-
Dukes permitted himself TO be drawn into
unnecessary expression of disdaIn for the
league of nations. One senator suggested
that Henry Cabot Lodge contributed lib
orally to the Presidents manuscript and
that these portions are the authorship of
Mr.. Lodge, who has not forgotten the
league of nations fight.
Regarded as Splendid Argument.
Except for the reference to the league,
which stirred up the applause of the anti
leaguers and provoked a resentful silence
on the part of the Democrats, the speech
was regarded by senator's generally as
splendid argument for ratification.
1t was pointed out that President
Harding uses language almost identical
with that of PX-PreSident Wilson in sub
uniting the Versailles treaty and cove
nant. Mr. Wilson declared that there
was no compulsiOn except the compul-
sion of our good conscience and judg
ment'' in the league covenant and with
the article which pledged respect for ter
ritorial Integrity. Mr. Harding declares
there is mo commitment To armed force
no alliance, no written or moral ObEga
tiOn to join in defense, no expressed or i'm
piled commitment to arrive at any agree
ment' and he adds:
Except in accordance with our consti-i
tutiOHal methods
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that the coun-
Gil of the league advises" what should be
done to enforce respect for the covenant
and said If in the judgment of the people
of the United States, the council adjudged
wrong and this was not a case for the
use of force, there would be no necessity
on the part of the congress of the United
States TO vote for tire use of force But
there could be no advice of the council on
any subject without n unanimous vote and
the unanimous vote includes our own and
if We accepted the advice we would be
accepting our own advice

Mr.. Harding further supports a Will
son viewpoint on the idea of reciprocate

STATE PRISON CROWDED.
There Are 90 More Prisoners Than There
Are Cells For

MONTPELIER, Feb. 13.-There are
more inmates in the state prison this
winter than ever in the history of the
institution, according to a recent state
ment of Judge J. E. Weeks. director of
state institutions. Many of these have
to be kept in a large dormitory, but they
are the better class of prisoners, SO there
is little likelihood of their trying to es-
cape. There are over 300 now in the
institution, probably 40 more than there
are cells for. The major portion of
those being committed now are those who
have committed larceny.

than a sentence i'll his famous
poem entitled, IF"
eff you can meet with Triumph
and Disaster
And treat these two impostors
Just the same"
"Impostors" is the accurate
word. There is a measure of de-
fusion in success. The sweets OF
victory easily sour. Fame has
wings. Conquerors are also NOR
tai. "The hero OF today pushes
the idol of yesterday out of rec
objection, and will in turn be
supplanted by his successor of to-
morrow" The great man who
rides at the head of procession
and listens to the band play 10

triumphal march and a dirgc
The higher up a man is carried
by popular acclaim, the farther
down he is likely to be flung by
reversal of public favor. The
snares of success are numerous
Victory wears a mask. Not only
death, but likewise gossip, slam
der and vaulting ambition love a
shining mark. The Great Teach
er spoke sagaciously when He
said. "Woe unto you when al
men speak well OF you"
Defeat is no more real or last
ing than victory. If there be .
fly in the ointment of success
there is Jewel in the vinegar OF
failure. Disaster has no monop-
oily on establishment. Triumph
comes in for a share, and a gen
erous share at that A man is

The youth of every age needs
to know these antipodean expert
,ences of life, not according to
their reputation but as impostors

needs to be warned not to wor-

has equal need to be taught not

Too great a premium has been
