The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1931-03-01

A choice bit Of wet propaganda that has
been appearing regularly for many years
about the time when the nation has its
thoughts turned toward Abraham Lincoln
in celebration Of his birthday, IS the fol-
lowing:
Prohibition will work great injury
10 the cause of temperance. It IS a
species of intemperance within itself,
for it goes beyond the bounds Of rea-
sen, in that it attempts to control a
mans appetite by legislation and
makes crime out of things that are
not crimes. A prohibition law strikes
blow at the very principle upon
which our government was founded.
The above statement is attributed to
President Lincoln as having been made in
the Illinois house of representatives on
December 10, 1910, when Lincoln was a
member of that body. Page IS of the
Journal of the house of that date is given
as authority.
DR. Albert Porter, managing editor OF
the Standard Encyclopedia of the Alcohol
Problem, several years ago asked the clerk
of the house Of representatives Of the Il
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1931-03-01

in the very cellars of the great wine coun-
tries, France, Germany and Spain.
AUSTRIA-Those who, few years ago,
announced that Austria was on the nigh
way to becoming a dry country were lar
out in their calculations. The parliaments
which have succeeded one another at
Vienna have taken little interest IN the
question of alcoholism and the natlonal
council elected last November IS not likely
to take more. However, there are GER
tain number of abstainers among tho
deputies elected especially in the socialist
party
In Austria particularly useful activity
is displayed by abstaining school teachers
who organize lectures and exhibitions.
circular has been issued by the ministry
of commerce and transport strictly for
bidding the use Of alcoholic beverages by
railway employees while on duty.
The temperance movement has suffered
a great loss in the death of one of its most
eminent leaders, Dr.. Wlassak
BULGARIA-The discouraging eco
nomic situation severely hampers the de-
velopment Of the movement against alco-
holism in this country. Some societies, in
despair have disbanded and others have
lessened their activities. In spite Of this,
however, the fight against alcoholism is
making progress. In several towns and
villages refreshment rooms have been
opened for the sale of "boza," national
non-alcoholic beverage prepared from
millet, non-alcoholic wines and excellent
fruit preserves of which the Orient has
the secret
The vegetarian movement in Bulgaria
is generally associated with the fight
against alcoholism. The Vegetarian So
ciety has opened a large building in Sofia
wherein is located a vegetarian restaurant.
Similar restaurants are doing good bust
ness in other quarters Of the town.
Bulgaria has a local option law which
permits women as well as men to vote.
The law on public health contains some
satisfactory provisions on alcoholism

A VOICE FROM THE PAST

The Northport New York; Observer
for January 80, prints the following COM
munication from a reader reporting an
incident which occurred in connection
with Yale-Princeton football game back
in 1897. The facts herein set forth will, no
doubt, be startling information to young
people of today who are being misled into
believing that there is more drinking now
than in the old saloon days.
In looking over an old copy of the union
Signal, Chicago, Illinois, December 8, 1897,
many years before prohibition came into
effect, the following clipping was found:
"One of the most disgraceful scenes ever
witnessed must have been the drunken
revels Of Yale AID Princeton students in
New Haven on the occasion Of the football
game, November q. Tt is said that there
was little sleep for forty hours, while the
bowling mobs had possession of the city.
The saloons were packed full Of drinking,
betting students and the day and night
carouSals beggared description. The night
following YaIe's unexpected victory is
characterized as night Of bedlam.
"The special correspondent to the Voice
says that in spite Of the instruction Of the
mayor and superintendent Of police to the
officers to arrest no one unless he became
so boisterous as to make it necessary, the
ASChIp WOO AQ41 Cal y III J1AC CNCA4A115' IL ID
estimated that there were one thousand
drunken students. A mob took possession
Of the grand opera house and stopped the
performance, and a squad of police had to
be called to queu the riot. Lewd women
were abroad in the land, and saloons were
open all night. The half cannot be told.
Such orgies are a shame and disgrace to
our civilization The Voice promises to
investigate the drink habits of universe
ties this year, and we are glad of it. Let
the parents know the truth"
In the face of such facts how can any
one say that the college students and
young people of today are drinking more
than ever before No one for a moment
can believe such propaganda.

WET SANDER OF LINCOLN REFUTED

Iinois legislature for confirmation of this
alleged entry in the house Journal. X
received the following reply:
Dear Dr.. Porter: Your letter adj
dressed to the clerk Of the house of
representatives was by him referred
to this department for reply. I beg to
advise We can find no record of the
quotation, prohibition will work a
great injury, etc." in any of the
newspapers or published speeohse Of
Abraham Lincoln. In the house jour
nal Of 1839-40 there is mere record
Of the vote on the Murphy bill, no
speeches being given, nor is there
anything published in the Springfield .
papers Of that date. Many others
have gone over the files in this Office
and also the house Journals of that
date, but, as above stated, IN none of
the material in this library that we
have gone over do we find any record
of this quotation.
Yours very truly,

Assistant Librarian,
Illinois State Historical Library.

POLAND-The advanced liquor law
adopted in 1920 is still the object of bitter
attacks on the part of the alcohol industry
and of all whose habits are affected by
any restrictive measure. However, the drys
have thus far held the line under the
leadership of the temperance societies and
the women's organizations. Thus far 629
polls on local option have been held, and
most of them have given dry majority.
However, in only small number of locali-
ties has the suppression of the drinkshops
been carried into effect. In most such
cases the authorities have declared the
voting unlawful.
CHILE-The government of Chile will
pay to grape growers in 1881 the equiva-
lent of about cents for every gallon of
Chilean wine exported, in an effort to
make this the greatest wine export year
in the history of the country. The growers

HUNGARY-No marked progress has
been made in the past year. However, de-
spite limited resources, the temperance
societies have carried on the fight and
have prevented any backward step. The
drys are encountering powerful opposl-
ton, wine production playing an lmpor-
tant part in Hungarian economic life. The
temperance societies OF the country are

which, no doubt will help the organiza-
ton of the work
On the occasion of the jubilee celebra-
ton of ST. Emeric a Catholic congress,
dealing especially with juvenile temper
anee education, was successfully held at
Budapest in the summer of 1880.
In June the International League
Against Prohibitions held its eleventh an
nuaI congress at Budapest. The absti-
hence societies Of Hungary organized
few days later, as counter-manifestatio
a great meeting of protestation.
LATVIA-The temperance forces are
engaged principally in promoting their
campaign of education. There are more
than 500 temperance societies in this lit
tie country, and in addition the churches
of the different confessions are taking an
active part in the fight against alcoholism.
Numerous lecture courses are organized.
Active propaganda is carried on with the
support of the government among the
youth and in the army. In the country
districts the situation is encouraging since

GERMANY-Th. Glass gives the fol-

licensing law in the ReUietD International
Contre alcoholism, october, 1890
Shortly after Germany became a re-
public an emergency law was introduced,
in 1923, to regulate the sale of alcoholic
beverages. In 1927 the German govern
ment had prepared definitive bill The
German temperance party had made eff
forts to introduce into this bill some pro-
visions favoring the fight against alco-
holism. They had proposed in particular
the limiting of the number of licenses to
one for 400 inhabitants. After discussions
which-partly for political reasons-were
drawn out until the spring of 1880, the
law was voted by the reichstag. From the
temperance point of view the progress it
represents is insignificant The fixed lini-
tation of licenses was rejected. Tt is
merely stipulated that the opening OF new
licensed premises shall be subject to
