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 Is Instinctive In
human nature. Minor premise: Alco
hol is a stimulant. Conclusion: Alco
holic drinks supply a natural demand.
Granting the first premise to be
sound which we do not grant the
second premUe Is glaringly untrue.
Latest findings of medical science
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. P., M. R.
a 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
first1 nerve centers to fall under Its
paralyzing Influence is the vasomotor
center In tho brain. What happens Is
all yon see and a lot you don't see.
The face flushes because the vessels
dilate and engorge. Hut you only see
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 faster.
It beats faster because Its controlling
mechanism has been paralyzed. It
has not been stimulated any mora
than the horse has been stimulated by
cutting its reins. We sop, therefore,
how, till quite recently, doctors have
been deceived. Wine is a mocker!
Put It need mork no longer. Apply
the teaching of experience, of science
and of tho Itlhle all attest that in
the end It 'bltcth like a serpent and
stingeth like on adder.'"
8AVE THE BOYS.
A number of loafers were sitting
outside a village store one evening,
when a farmer drove up and flashed
a ntato-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., 15 well-known
wago-earners subscribed for shares In
one of our local building and loan as
sociations, with a view of saving suffi
cient menus to provide themselves
with a home. Their payments were
nmdo 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 saloons,
but one of the 23, himself a total ab
stainer, has continued his payments.
This man has bulK a' comfortable
homo, which he will own free from
debt In a few years."
WHO SHALL DECIDE?
"No class Is better acquainted with
tho dreadful social effn'-ts of alcohol
ism than the medical profession," says
the Medical Times, "and we are In
terested In tho sociological phases of
the subject hardly less than In the
Bcluntidc. Therefore, we are Interest
ed In the efforts of tho prohibitionists
to prohibit. Perhaps our alcoholics
might well bo left to destroy them
selves as a matter of personal free
dom und of riddance to the commu
nity, were It not for the social hnvoo
that flows from tho vice. This makes
It a concern of povernment. It is not
thnso who profit commercially from
tho sale of the poison that should
decide tho Issue, but those whose
lives and happiness are In Jeopardy."
NO UPHEAVAL IN BUSINESS.
"If the liquor traffic were abolished
tomorrow." said Rev. Dr. Tloynton of
Chicago In a aermon on "Liquor
Logic," "tho other lnduntrles of the
country, employing 6,020,000 people,
would have to absorb only 6,430 per
sons who are now engnged In tho
manufacture of distilled liquors and
only 54,579 who are now engaged In
the manufacture of fermented liquors.
This chango In the business world
would be less of a shock to the busi
ness of the United States than was
the Inauguration of the parcel post or
the changes that are usually required
by every revision of tho tart St.''
LIGHTENS FARMERS' TAXES.
rty rnoF. john a. nk-iiot.s.)
The suppression of the liquor trafllo
would be of great benefit to the farm
ers, who are now taxed heavily to pay
their part of the enorniious expense
of taking care of tho great army of
orphans and paupers, drunkards, and
criminals produced by this destructive
and degrading traffic. The liquor traf
fic now destroys the buying capacity
of the men who put their money Into
whisky and beer. For every $100
spent for liquor, the farmer now re
ceives $5.60. If the money was spent
for other commodities tho farmers'
share would bo very largely Increased,
NATIONAL PROBLEM.
The liquor problem Is a national
problem. Ths national government
must give power to deiil with It and
through the development of public
sentiment we can obtain national tem
perance and stop Us manufacture and
Importation. James R, Garaold.
