WHITE EXPLAINS THE
LIQUOR PROBLEM
A curious thing in this big
world-wide agitation against
the sale of alcoholic liquors
says William Allen White
Russia stoDs the sale of vod
ka; Germany restricts the
f hp.fir: France
shuts down on the sale of ab
sinthe; and England serious
ly considers the prohibition
of liauor trathc.
These are some of the large
manifestations of the move
ment now against drinking
But in every country the ban
of insurance companies is
upon the drinking man. The
railroad errmlovee all over
the civilized world today sure
must be so nearly a teetotaler
that the old glad lite ot unre
stricted booze-fighting has
passed from him forever. The
coming of steam and electri
city has done many things to
chanee the face ot civiliza
tion, but by speeding up the
machinerv, steam and elec
tricity have changed the face
of skilled labor more than
anvthing else. They have
bleached him out. The hard
drinker can't hold his job in
any factory today where ef
ficiency methods are used.
As men in the machine
rooms have had to stop drink
ine. the increased' speed they
have generated has compell
ed a faster pace in the office.
Office men all over the world
are dropping liquor. Ten
years ago bad form consisted
in carrying too much liquor
into the day's work at the of
fice. Twenty vears ago. bad
form expressed itself in being
drunk during working hours.
Fifty years ago, a protracted
spree was trowned upon
But todav the man who
"breezes into the offices after
lunch with the aroma of a
beer or a cocktail about him
is viewed with suspicion i
not alarm . Personal liberty
is getting more of a jolt from
the customs of civilization
than it is from the laws in the
local option and prohibition
states. For. as a matter of
fact, the law merely follows
public opinion. The change
in the Constitution of a state
comes only after the habits o
a considerable minority i
not a majority have been
changed.
It is not prohibitory law
that is closing the breweries
so much as it is the wise little
man in the factory and in the
office who quickly decides,
without putting on a parade
atter his decision that he will
cut out the booze. When he
and his neighbors meet to
talk it over, the town goes
dry. and the state, when
enough counties are dry, it
self moves out ot the wet col
umn. And the liquor dealers
association views with alarm
and blames its troubles upon
the prohibition cranks. They
are glad ot the honor con
ferred. But they don't real
ly deserve it.
For the liquor dealers them
selves are largely to blame for
the wave or teetotalism that
is sweeping the globe. The
iquor dealer has organized
his business upon a wrong
basis. He is trying to sell his
products through the saloon.
And the saloon as a sales
agency is all bad. It is bad,
because of two things. First,
because it is run on the the-
nrv ot oversrimuiuuuK me
consumption of the product,
and overstimulation of the
sale is the one thing which
produces the evil ot drink:;
and the second fault of the
saloon comes from the fact
that in every American com
munitv at least, the saloon is
hooked up with vice and cor
ruption. A highly-organized
civilization will not permit a
man to overdrink. And a de
r.p.nr r.nmmnnitv sooner Or
ater will rebel against any in
stitution within its borders
which is allied with the gam
hlp.r the nrostitute and the
slection thief. And almost al
wavs the saloon tries to make
men drink too much, and
then tries to hold its place in
the community by an alliance
with vice. bo men quit
drinking, and then vote
against the saloon as the first
step in self-detense and civic
righteousness.
Every election sees, the dry
territory widening. Only one
:hing can save the liquor
traffic in this world, and that
is the liquor traffic itself. It
must cease beme a hog. it
-- a -
must put itself upon a status
where decent men can defend
it. And decent men cannot
defend the saloon as it stands
today. Doubtless if sugar
dealers were to go into
sales agency which would try
to make people eat vastly too
much candy and then wuld
ally itself with touts and gam
blers and grostitutes in every
town to hold its rights to
make people consume too
much sugar, the sugar busi
ness would tall into disrepute
very shortly. And the liquor
business will find itself fight
ing a hopeless fight until it
abolishes the saloon, puts it
sell upon the basis ot any
other commodity as, say,
clothes pins, mackerel, dress
goods, or nails; instead o
trying to overstimulate its
ales through the saloon, take
its chances over the counter
with the rest of the, world's
goods and get out of politics.
Ihe water wagon with all
its horrors for the liquor deal
er and it is onlv the shadow
of prohibition cast before
the water wagon is coming in
to this world because the sa
loon as a sales agent of alco
holic liquors has affronted
civilization, produced a socia
cancer, and must be cut out
of our highly complex life.
JOHN BARLEYCORN AT
WASHINGTON
It seems to be almost sure
that within the next year or
two Washington will go
"dry." It has been establish
ed that a majority in Con
gress favor prohibition, and
had it not required a specia
rule, while Congress was
working at top speed, the last
Congress would likely have
abolished the saloon as an in
stitution in the national cap
ital. The liquor interests
say that the handwriting is
on the wall, and investments
in "Boozerine" establish
,rssnts are considered poor
business in Washington.
JITNEYS CLOGGED BY
RED TAPE
The jitney bus has been
trving to break in an the
transportation game in the
city ot Washington, u.
here is no city more in need
of this kind of traffic, as
here are all sorts of inacces
sible places that cannot be
reached in the regular way,
and even the rubberneck .
wagons pass up some ot the
most desirable parts ot tne
citv. But it transpires that a
jitney bus, according to the
aws of Congress, is a trans
portation company and there
fore it is almost as much ot
an undertaking to establish a
itney service in Washington,
as though it were a small-
sized street railway. A big
company formed tor the pur
pose ol putting in a jitney
system, but after an exami
nation of the complicated
egal machinery, the promot
ers decided that the street
car interests of the capital
might be able to put them.
and their industry, out Ot
business. Therefore, Wash
ington will likely have no jit
ney service
"BUCKET OF BLOOD"
Some clever newspaper
man wrote a story, and head
ed it the bucket ot blood.
And then he proceeded to
ambast a Washington hotel
charging it with a lot ot 1m
nroner practices. The hotel
r x i
had been in operation so long
that the steenth set ot shin
sles had started letting in the
rain. Now it the newspaper
man naa saia tnai uiis rnnei,
which was perhaps no better
or worse than most hostelries
'was a "iardinier of roses,'
little attention would nave
been given the story. It so
happened that the hotel was a
building purchased by the
government, in order to se
cure the land, thereupon
the atoresaid government ol-
hcials were tlooded with pro
tests about the manner in
manner in which the hote
was run. the otticials very
promptly ordered the ten
ants to get out, and they
said thev would. Thereupon
the public indignation was
anneased. but that was
1 A
weeks ago, and the hotel is
still doing business at the
same old stand, and the pro
prietor can quietly boast that
thev never touched me.
Perhaps it is all just as well.
ELECTRIC COMPANIES
HAVE A STRANGLE
HOLD
There are two street rail
way companies running al
most parallel lines in the na
tional capital. They do not
exchange transfers, and un
less one "knows the ropes"
they are obliged to pay two
fares on manv short trios.
Sightseers to the capital usu
ally use up choice protests
and protanity when they dis
cover how thev are mulched
But the street car companies
have put this imposition over
on the capital tor many years
whereas an ordinary city
council with voters back o
the local machinerv would
have remedied the difficulty
years ago. but no one can
vote in the District of Colum
bia. The principal Commis
sioner is betore the courts
trying to prove that he is a
resident ot the city ot Wash
ington and he is having a
hard time doing it. 1 he post
master is from l exas. the do
'- A.
lice come from all parts of
the country, and most of the
local officials vote in the dif
ferent states of the nation.
WHO REALLY DID IT
"So you've stopped eating meat,
have you." inquired the actor. "Who
did it the doctor?'
"No." said the poet, sadly, "the
butcher."
TO LIVE
GKHVW
THIS IS THE. NAME OF A NfcW
BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS
TIAN, F. S. D.
Eueene Christian. F. is. D., the
world's, greatest , Food Scientist, has
just" published a new book called "How
to Live 100 Years."
This book tells you what to eat
according to your age, your work and
the time of the year. It teaches you
how to select, how to combine and
so as to establish perfect digestion
and assimilation of fopd and perfect
elimination of waste. In other words.
it teaches you how to cure all stomach
and intestinal disorders by removing
their causes, which is wrong eaung.
If you have Indigestion, gas, fermen
tation, sour stomach or any such dis
orders after a meal, this bonk tells you
how to put the remedy on your table
at the next meal.
Dr. Christian shows thaw all animals
how to proportion your food at meals
except man live about eight times as
long as It takes them to get their
growth. If man should do this he
would live nearly 200 years; but civi
lized man dies at the average age of
39. He begins to lose his teeth, his
eyes and his hair, and drops into his
grave onty a few years after he Is
grown.
Dr. Christian shows that 22 per cent
of all the hum&n beings born into the
world die before they lare one year old
Twenty-five per cent more die before
their fifth birthday, and more than
half of the human race die before they
are twenty-five.
All other animals on the globe live
eight times as long as it takes them
to get their growth. Man breathes
the same air, drinks the same water,
lives under the same sunshine, but
differs from his brother animals only
in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian
shows conclusively that this appalling
discrepancy must be on account
his eating habits and he has proved
that his theory is true by curing over
23,000 people within" the past ten years
by teaching them what to eat and
how to eat. "How to Live 100 Years,
gives the secret of his methods.
This book does not disarrange or
upset the family table. It teaches the
housewife what foods the meal should
be composed of, so as to make them
chemically harmonious and perfectly
digestible and healthy.
This book is beautifully bound in
velum, and sold lettered. Send one
dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213
West 79th Street, New York City, and
you will receive this life-saving book
by return mail, and if it is not worth
its weight in gold your money will be
promptly refunded to you.
TWO-UNIT RADIATORS
IN AIL MAXWELL CARS
Owing to the delicate construction
of an automobile, a very light blow
will sometimes put it entirely out of
commission. The Maxwell Motor Co
has adopted a radiator of two-unit
construction. These units are the
shell and the core. The shell is made
of pressed steel and performs only two
functions that of enhancing the very
beauty and appearance of the radiator
but nrinciDallv to serve as a buffer
to the more delicate inner construe
tion. As there is a quarter of an inch
of space between the shell of the radi
ator and the core, it takes an extra
ordinarily hard blow from the top or
the side to result in a leak; and, 4f
the shell becomes dented, it is a very
simple matter to remove four small
bolts and entirely separate the core
from the shell, and remove the dents
without affecting the core.
