What He Advised. A young man unhappily married and practically penniless took his tale of woe to a prominent divorce attorney In Chicago and concluded with this: "I'm too poor to pay much for a di vorce, but my wife makes my life ml*, •rable. After I get home at 9 o'clock lb the evening 1 get no pe&oe untQ I go to aleep. What would yoa ad visa 7" "After considering all the facta In yowr case," aald the lawyer, "I would anggeat that you get a Job which re fvlres you to work all night."—ex change. 2imuiiiuiiiHj.iiiiiiiimiMmiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiimiiiiiiimi!iiiim!iuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimimiiiismiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiiiiiitts I Poverty, Crime and Insanity j j Spring From Many Causes I | | E It is fair to presume that when a "Commission on Temperance," of an association of laymen uader the title of Federal Council of Churches, shall have been misled into making a report = •f FALLACIES through the press, that it would not be unwelcome if substantiated FACTS E and figures were submitted to show the misinformation that had been given the public. This Commission was quoted declaring: (i) That men who work too many hours spend the most time in saloons, where they go for stimulants for fatigue. This is still a moot question, and 1 no convincing testimony has yet been produced. (a) That alcoholism is the chief cause of poverty? The FALLACY of this allegation was sufficiently answered in the recent annual re port of the Philadelphia Society for Organizing Charity, which investigated 30,000 individual cases of poverty last year and found more than 50 per cent the result of sickness. Only 918 of the 30,000 came to want from misuse of liquors—a trifle over 3 per cent. (3) That 3 E drink is the chief cause of crime? This FALLACY was exposed in the annual report of Comptroller Prendcrgast, of New York, who stated that only 8 per cent, of every $lOO of that city's taxes goes to support the police (only in small part serving against crimmality) and less than 1 per cent, used to maintain penitentiaries and other prisons. (4) Tha* alco holism is the chief cause of insanity? The FALLACY of this may be learned in Bu v tin 5 119 of the U. S. Census, which shows that 24 States in the Union had a lower ratio cf in sane than Prohibition Kansas; that in alcoholic psychosis the insane record of "dry" Kansas E > was worse than that of 19 other States, 14 of which had licensed saloons. (5) That if cap -2 « -1 ital now invested in liquor industries were exploited in other business enterprises the money wo.ld give employment to four times as many wage earners. This is reckless allegation, for Census statistics show many industries with less labor employed, in ratio to capital in vested, than liquor enterprises. When it is considered that National Prohibition would con- El liscate and destroy properties in which $771,516,000 has been invested through Governmcn: 3 encouragement; that Prohibition would throw out of employment an estimated 1,200,000 E wage earners trained to that work only and just as helpless in other pursuits as carpcnter.l 3 or printers would be if their trades were taken from them; that $325,000,000 paid for Fed -3 eral and Municipal support by alcoholic industries would necessarily have to be impose I upon other taxpayers; that the wiping out of drink (even if possible) would not transfer ail 3 moneys thus spent to increase purchases of other commodities, then the FALLACY and fclL 3 of Prohibition becomes clear to people who appreciate the FACTS.—PENNSYLVA = NIA STATE BREWERS' ASSOCIATION. 3 3 113 niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiniiiiii? 8om« Rssemblanoe.
