America needed to be sober, it is
now. To hear and read of the ter
rible things that are being brought
about through strong drink and no
attention being paid to it except
to try to sell more iquor-rnore
liquor no difference how much
misery and degradation it causes,
lust so we get the revenue. What
is that paltry revenue compared
with the-well 1 cannot find words
to express my sentiments ON this
subject.
The legalization of the liquor
traffic was the legalization of the
most prolific source Of poverty and
crome that man has ever known
We repealed the wrong law. I can
say this much, the liquor industry
had better get together for the
temperance people all over the
United States are getting ready for
another battle to eliminate all
kinds of liquors
The New York Tribune says that
the liquor traffic costs more each
year than our whole civil service,
our army, navy, congress and pen
sion bills, our national, state, and
county debts. In fact our govern
ment pays more for liquor than
for every function of every kind Of
governinnet.
Friends, did you ever stop to
think what is in a barrel of
whiskey. It contains something
more than just the whiskey. I
shall mention a few of the addi-
tional things: headaches, heart
aches, curses, blows, tears, sorrow,
strife, cares, debts, hunger, poison,
blasted hopes, falsehoods, poverty,
ruin, terror, crimes, orphans, and
serpents. In fact, a barrel of
whiskey is the devils most potent
agent through which he destroys
mans body, soul, home, family,
and all that is sacred. These are
strong words, nevertheless they are
true.
1 am so glad that the states are
rising up in arms against the
! drunken driver. Here is what hap
pens when he starts out He
strikes car, exceeds the speed
limit, drives on the wrong side OF
the street, passes car on the wrong
side, cuts in and out of traffic

occupied safety zone, makes right

TIDE OF MIGRATION
GROWING IN NATION
Hard Times Cause Trek
of Americans.

Washington. - Government CEN
sus officials expect to record for the
last four years the largest migra-
tion of population In this nations
history. The economic tide has
swept millions out of cities in search
of employment or subsistence, on
to farms, into suburban areas to do
part-time farming, into smaller
cities and towns. The movement
has not been all one way, says the
New York Times. From farms and
small towns many people have gone
to other places in search of jobs or
to share in the organized relief In
large communities.
Farm Population Grows.
The agricultural census to be
taken In January is expected to
show the largest farm population
yet enumerated, exceeding the peak
figure of 32,5O9,00 persons esti-
mated as of January 1, 1884. That
total included only persons on COM
mercial farms, as distinguished
from those living on plots Of land
too small to be classed as farms by
the census. The migration from
cities, towns and villages to farms
had slowed down in 1888 and was
more than offset by the migration
from farms to cities, towns and viii
lagos, but the increase In births
over deaths raised the farm popu-
lation figure to a record high.
Had there been no economic de-
preston, the census officials would

quail sailing before us. A flash and
our gums were at our shoulders,
and in less than a minute two
thurs could be heard a distance
away. The dogs were off, and re-
turned, each with warm bird in
his mouth. One bird was still
alive and the f1uttering bird in the
mouth of the dog was quite a COM
ical sight. One of the hunters soon
put the bird out of misery, and af
ter giving each dog few pats on
the head, a joyful group of men
and dogs tramped home.

WHITE COLLAR
SAVINGS GONE,
ASKS RELIEF

lntefnatlOnal NfWH StTNiCO
Fifty per cent Of those applying
for relief between January and
April of this year had never been
on relief rolls before, Harry L.
Hopkins, FERA administrator,
said today.
A depletion Of savings" was
given by Hopkins as the chief
reason for this situation. A great
proportion of the new applicants
have been white collar workers"
chiefly professional and semipro-
fessional people, small proprietors,
office workers, statesmen and
clerks. Mr.. Hopkins said:
"That the new families going
on relief during this period were
from a different social level Is
shown by the fact that they re-
ported lOnge unemployment,
smaller families, fewer workers
in the family and greater deple-
ton Of savings.
SITUATION is CHANGING
"Before the depression it was
usually assumed the relief pop
ulation was entirely from the
lower economic groups. Our
figures show this situation IL
changing. Obviously employ.
ment must be provided for this
group, the kind Of work they
are capable Of doing"
Mr.. Hopkins statement was
based on a survey Of II repre-
sentative cities - Baltimore,
Bridgeport, Butte, Chicago, De
troit, Houston, Manchester, N. H.,
Paterson. N. j.. San Francisco,
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Atlanta and
st. Louis.
The reports from the various
cities on the changes in relief
load since December, 1884, were:
