LEST WE FORGET.
By Margaret H. Barnett.
From time to time, we read in the
newspapers of those who come to their
deaths by drinking liquor containing
wood alcohol, or of the violent deeds
of persons who are crazed by “boot-
leg” whiskey, or by some variety of
“home brew.” And people shake their
heads and some say that prohi-
bition does no good, others say that it
does harm.
In the good old days, these people
say, when good whiskey was manufaec-
tured, men drank very generally, and
it did not do the harm that drinking
does now. Whiskey was used in the
harvest field, they say, and never stop
to ask why it was banished. The pres-
ent evil effects of drinking are due to
bad whiskey and bad whiskey is due
to prohibition, and, therefore, prohibi-
tion is bad.
People who talk in this way are
either very unreflecting, or they have
very short memories. It is not denied
that wood alcohol is a deadly poison,
or that the liquor of the present time
sometimes contains it. It is not de-
nied that “boot-leg” liquor is vile and
sometimes poisonous stuff. Those en-
gaged in the liquor traffic never care
what happens to their foolish victims.
But in spite of these things, the fact
remains that alcoholic liquors have al-
ways been agents of destruction to
those who drank them. About three
thousand years ago, it was written,—
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is
raging.” Many centuries ago it was
written,—“Woe unto him that giveth
his neighbor to drink.” “Mania a po-
tri,” “madness from drinking,” is an
old term for an old, old evil, an evil
which existed long before national
prohibition was even thought of as a
possibility.
More than two hundred years ago,
on October 28th, 1701, an act was
passed in the Province of Pennsylva-
nia, forbidding any one to give or sell
any kind of strong drink to the In-
dian residents of the Province. This
Act of Assembly was passed because
“several Sachems or Sachemucks,
kings of the Indian natives” had
“earnestly desired that no European
should be permitted to carry rum to
their towns.” The reason given for
the passage of the Act was that many
of the Indians were “not yet able to
govern themselves in the use thereof,”
and were “generally apt to drink to
great excess, and were sometimes in-
flamed to destroy themselves and one
another, and terrify, annoy and en-
danger the inhabitants.”
The law-makers of 1701 did not
seem to realize the irony of their Act.
The white residents of Pennsylvania
were not wise enough to follow the
example of those old “Sachems or Sa-
chemucks, kings of the Indian na-
tives,” and demand prohibition. And
we find that two hundred years later, }=
they were “not yet able to govern
themselves in the use” of intoxicating
* liquors, and the Legislatures of 1913
and 1917 appropriated $220,000 to es-
tablish a Home for Inebriates, those
who had “drunk to great excess,” un-
til they were hopelessly ruined.
Those of middle age, and even those
who are younger, can recall, if they
choose to do so, many cases, among
their friends and acquaintances, of
persons who died terrible deaths from
alcoholism; of persons found dead
after prolonged periods of drinking;
of persons who committed suicide, or
attempted to do so, because of drink;
of drink-crazed men whose acts of
violence endangered the lives of their
families and friends; of wives and
children who were obliged to flee from
their homes by drunken husbands and
fathers; of many whose business and
professional careers were ruined by
drink. The annals of one small town
would furnish a long and tragic story
of the evils of strong drink, even in
the “good old days.”
Those who criticise prohibition must
remember that in Pennsylvania, it has
not yet been really given a trial. But
even with the very lax enforcement of
prohibition in this State, many good
results are apparent.
Public officials will be elected this
fall, to fill many important offices in
the State and in the nation. Some
candidates who ask for the votes of
the people announce themselves as
“wets.” Some are running on a “light
wine and beer” platform.
Let the voters of the State refresh
their memories as to the effects of al-
eoholic liquors, not only the “boot-
leg” variety, but liquor of every kind
and name. And let them register their
condemnation of them at the polls.
To Observe Pennsylvania Day at State
College.
Elaborate preparations are being
made by the students of The Pennsyl-
vania State College for the annual cel-
ebration of “Pennsylvania day” on the
campus at State College on Saturday,
November 11th. The event falls on
Armistice day this year and special
military exercises will feature the col-
lege celebration when hundreds of vis-
itors will be present for the school ex-
hibitions, social and sports events.
The student R. O. T. C. regiment of
1800 men with the cadet band of 125
pieces will prove one of the main at-
tractions of the day. The agricultur-
al and engineering schools are plan-
ning special exhibits of student work-
manship, and the annual college live-
stock parade at the football game will
make an unusual feature.
Contrary to custom there will be no
special services in recognition of the
day this year, since college officials
have for the present decided to make
Pennsylvania day a student social and
athletic association. Hereafter a day
in the fall will be set aside for visits
of inspeetion and conference on spe-
cial group interests of the college.
——A recent announcement from
The Pennsylvania State College states
that sixty per cent. of all chemists as-
sociated with the tanning industry of
the country are graduates of that col-
lege. Penn State now graduates up-
wards of fifty chemists each year.
