DOCTORS HAVE NEW LIGHT.
A common argument of the liquor
interests may be put In the form of
a syllogism thus:
Major premise: The demand for an
occasional stimulant la Instinctive In
human nature. Minor premise: Alco
hol is a stimulant. Conclusion: Alco
holic drinks supply a natural demand.
Granting the first premUe to be
sound which wo do not grant the
second premise Is' glaringly untrue.
Latest findings of medical aclence
have proved that alcohol is not a stim
ulant as once believed, but a depres
sant. There is expert testimony In
abundance to this effect. We quote
here from W. A. Chappie, M. I)., M. R.
C 8 , ph. D., and member of parlia
ment: "Wo know that alcohol stimulates
nothing except disease and the suscep
tibility to It. We know one of the
first; nerve centers to fall under Its
paralyzing Influence is tho vasomotor
renter In tho brain. What happens Is
all you see and a lot you don't see.
The face flushes because the vessels
dilate and engorge. Put you only aee
It in the face because these vessel
are so delicate everywhere.-In the
brain, the liver, the kidneys, all the
vital organs, which suffer in conse
quence. And the heart beats faater.
It beats faster because Its controlling
mechanism has been paralyzed. It
ha not been stimulated any more
than the horse has been stimulated by
rutting Its reins. We see, therefore,
how, till quite recently, doctors have
been deceived. Wlno is a mocker!
Put it need mock no longer. Apply
the teaching of experience, of science
and of tho Itible all attest that In
the end It 'blteth like a 6erpunt and
stlngeth like an adder.'"
8AVE THE BOYS.
A number of loafers were sitting
outHlde a village store one evening,
when a farmer drove up and flashed
tato-wlde prohibition petition on
them, explained what It meant, and
asked If any of them wanted to sign It.
The farmer knew the men were old
time boozers, but he did not propose
to pass them by. The oldest man in
the bunch promptly said:
"I am down and out. Pooze put
me to the bad. I am too old to ever
get on my feet and make a man of
myself. I am going to sign that dry
petition, and If I live I will vote dry,
for I do not want any one of those
little boys (pointing to a group of little
fellows playing near by) to become
what I am now. I want to do what I
can to save the boys."
A TRUE STORY.
An Indiana newspaper tells the fol
lowing story:
"During the time there were no sa
loons In Princeton, Ind., SG well-known
wage-earners suhncribed for shares In
one of our local building and loan as
sociations, wllh a view of saving suffi
cient menns to provide themselves
with a home. Their payments were
mndo regularly during such period.
When the saloons returned 25 of this
number began missing payments, and
one after another withdrew his sav
ings until at this time, with or'v two
years' experience with the Baloons,
but one of the 26, himself a total ab
stainer, has continued his payments.
This man has butK a' comfortable
homo, which he will own free from
debt In a fow years."
WHO SHALL DECIDET
"No class Is better acquainted with
tho dreadful social effvts of alcohol
lnm thnn the medical profession," says
tho Medical Times, "and we are In
terested In tho sociological phases of
the subject hardly less than In the
scientific. Therefore, wo are Interest
ed In tho efforts of tho prohibitionists
to prohibit. Perhaps our alcoholics
mli;ht well bo loft to destroy them
selves as a mailer of personal free
dom and of riddance to the commu
nity, were It not for tho social havoo
that flows from tho vice. This makes
It a concern of poverntnent. It la not
thoso who profit commercially from
tho sale of the poison that should
decide the Issue, but those whose
lives and happiness are In Jeopardy."
NO UPHEAVAL IN BUSINESS.
"If the liquor traffic were abolished
tomorrow." said Ttev. rr. Poynton of
Chicago In a aermon on "Liquor
Logic," "tho other induntrles of the
country, employing 6,020,000 people,
would have to absorb only 6,4:10 per
sons who are now engaged In tho
manufacture of distilled liquors and
only 54,579 who are now engaged In
tho manufacture of fermented liquors.
This change In the business world
would be less of a shock to the busi
ness of tho Vnited States than was
the Inauguration of the parcel post or
tho changes that are usually required
by every revision of tho tartS."
LIGHTENS FARMERS' TAXES.
my mop. joiin a. is'irirot.a.)
The suppression of tho liquor trafflo
would be of great benefit to the farm
ers, who are now taxed heavily to pay
their pnrt of the enormous expense
of taking care of the great army of
orphans and paupers, drunkards, and
criminals produced by this destructive
and degrading t raffle. The liquor traf
fic now destroys the buying capacity
of the mon who put their money into
whisky and beer. For every $100
spent for liquor, the farmer now re
ceives $3.50. If the money was spent
for other commodities the farmers'
share would be very largely increased.
NATIONAL PROBLEM.
The liquor problem la a national
problem. The national government
must give power to dei.l with it and
through the development of public
sentiment we can obtain national tem
perance and stop Its manufacture and
importation. James It, Garflold.
