MinnesOta's Death Rate From
Alcoholism.

Minnesota statistics concerning
deaths from alcoholism are being
used by the w. C. T. U. in the ma
tional educational campaign now un-
der way to induce health officials to
include alcoholism in their health
programs. Minnesota has death rate
of four (4.0) per hundred thousand
from alcoholism, trifle higher than
the national average death rate from
this cause; but almost half of New
York's and Maryland's which have no
state prohibition enforcement codes.
Before prohibition Minnesota's al
cohol death rate reached 81 in
1910; it fell to less than one
per hundred thousand (0.S) per
hundred thousand in 1920, the first
prohibition year. Under the i'm
pact of the great wet drive and the
40 and while it has never reached
the peaks of the saloon days the w. G..
T. U. considers it is too high and
should be recognized as preventable
cause of death by public officials,
rather than a political football.
U. S. census figures show alcohol
ism lowest in the dry states; highest
in the wet states and highest of all
in New York and Maryland, where

Mrs. Steers visit to our union on
Wednesday. March 21st, was brief but
inspiring. She told Of how the As
ISOLATION Against Prohibition is busy
enrolling members and funds with
which to fight for the notification Of
our prohibition law. She said it be-
hooves the friends of Prohibition to
stand fast and work for the spread
of truth and for education of our chill
dren in scientific temperance. To
meet this drive for members in wet
interest we must enroll an equal num-
Der in the organizations that stand
four square for law and order.
Mrs. Sizer explained that the reason
the vets are so anxious to elect the
next president is because of the ap-
pointive power of the president. He
appoints to office the men in whose
hands the final command rests. The
presidential cabinet of ten men are
often his personal or political friends.
AS to the influence of this group in
the success or failure of the enforce
ment of the National Prohibition Act
there can be no doubt. Some of them
have direct control of the administra-
ton of the prohibition law; others
have large opportunity to strengthen
or weaken such administration by CO.
ordination and cooperation. If wet
were to become president it follows
naturally that he would appoint men
who were wet and this is the big rea-
son why it stands every thinking citi-
zen in hand to apply every means Of
electing dry man at the head Of
our nation, unless unhappily we favor
the return of the liquor traffic. So
far each Congress has been drier than
its predecessor.
After Mrs. Steers talk, a lively dis
cussion on topics of interest was car
ried on and among others, the ques-
tion was asked whether or not Al
Smith is as wet as some reports have
it. Mrs. Sizer answered assuredly
that AL Smith is the liquor interests
candidate for our next president and
he is dripping wet".. Mrs. Sizer

her home in st. Paul. She has been

on the road for three weeks, organic
ing new unions throughout the state
and campaigning for the dry interest.
One thing against which the vets
must prevail il they would win is the
force of prayer to God who has SO
richly blessed and made us the lead
ing nation today, and our prayer arises
more fervently than ever, Lord. God
of Hosts, be with us yet" He has
never brought to shame those who
earnestly call upon Him and the pray
ers of God-fearing people of the whole
universe will carry America through.
