Temperance
Notes

INTEMPERANCE IN EUROPE.
One of the prize publicity method
of the brewery and wine Interests la
to contrast the amount of drunkenness
In one of our prohibition stutes, usual
ly Mulne, with the amount of drunk
enness In the wlne-drlnlilng countries
of France and Italy In an attempt to
show tho superiority of the latter la
the matter of sobriety. So far from
being correct, tho statesmen of Franc
and Italy have long recognized Intern
pcrnnre as one of the most serious
evils with which they hove to contend.
In 1012 the Italian premier, Hon. Lugl
Luzzattl, Introduced a bill Into the
Italian parliament providing measures
for the reduction of Intemperance, and
presented a great mass of evidence
showtag that deaths from alcoholism
In Italy are rapidly Increasing, while
the general death rate Is falling. Prof.
Cesare Lombroso, the world-renowned
alienist, recently deceased, published
In the Archive dl Tslchlatrla of which
he was the editor, a stirring appeal
from Doctor Antonlnl, superintendent
of one of the largest Insane asylums la
Italy, In which he said: "The Hospi
tals and Insane asylums are filled with
alcoholic potlentsj consumption pro
moted by alcoholic degeneracy rages
pellngra Joins Itself with alcoholic poi
soning; crime Is becoming more fre
quent among the young; the suicides
are legion; the people are growing
steadily weaker and more morally de
generate." To this appeal, Lombroso
added his Indorsement, with a demoid
for stringent legislation. At the Milan
International Congress on Alcoholism,
1013, prominent Italian delegates
spoke strongly of the growing evils
caused by alcohol. Hon. H. E. Falcl
onl, Italian secretary of state, report
ed that deaths from alcoholism have
nearly trebled since 1880. Against of
ficial declarations like these the argu
ments of brewers and wlneraen and
their supporters have no weight.
MUNSTERBURQ ON SALOON.
The late Trof. Hugo Munsterburg
of Harvard, recognized authority In
America on German Ideals, gave to
the public In 1007 this opinion of the
saloon :
"There Is nothing more degrading
and no more atrocious Insult to civil
ized life than the American saloon. It
has poisoned the social atmosphere
for the masses; In It the worklngman
squanders his savings, and the henlthy,
man devastates his energies and be
comes a wreck. Political corruption
Irradiates from the saloon Into the
whole public life and a thousand ways
lead from the saloon to the penlten-'
tlary. It Is a blessed movement which
now turns with overwhelming energy
against the horrors of this evil and
source of Infection. There may be dis
agreements as to tho best ways and
means, disagreement whether strict
prohibition or education towards tem
perance Is the more reliable meth
od; but there Is no disagreement as
to the fact that the saloon has to be
wiped out, and the day seems near
Indeed when thanks to women the;
fight agalnBt the saloon will be taken
tip In almost every state."
SECOND EMANCIPATION.
In high moments Abraham Lincoln'
dreamed of the coming of the hour
when In all the land there should be
found no slave, and he lived to see;
the dream come true, and with his own
good hand he unlocked the bar that
hold a race captive. But that waS
not all his dream. IIo dreamed of th
coming of a day when In all the land,)
the land he loved, and for which he
gave his life, there should be found)
no drunkard made by government
sanction, no died and did not seej
that half of his great dream realized,
but his countrymen do not forget, nor,
shall they until in tho high empire of
a mighty power they commission an
other man from the selfsame room In
the capltol at Washington to write
the emancipation of tho land from thej
liquor trafflc Ex. Gov. J. Frank
Hunly of Indiana.
MARKSMANSHIP.
In Sweden three corporals and threef
privates were used In a test to deter
mine the effect of alcohol upon pre
cision. During the days of the first
test the men were entirely abstaining,.
while during the second series ofi
tests they were allowed two-thirds of
a wineglass of brandy a short time be
fore the firing and an equnl amount
of alcohol In punch on the evening
before. In the quick-firing tests, on'
the alcohol days, they hit the target'
on the average only three times out of,
30 shots, but on the abstinent days the
average was 23 and 20 hits. The men
were found to be similarly affected by
alcohol during tests for endurance of
sustained firing.
NO DRINKERS NEED APPLY.
The Wlnton Motor Car company em
ploys about 1,200 men In Cleveland, O.,
and almost as many In other cities. A
rule barring drinking employees has'
been In force ever since the factory
opened.
"We do not allow any man to enter
our plant with liquor on his breath or
to drink at any time, if we know It,"
says Mr. Wlnton, founder and presi
dent of the company.
"No well regulated plant can afford
to employ men who drink. Men who
use liquor cannot be at their best"
SIGNIFICANT STRAW.
The Business Men's league of St
Louis will not be counted In with the
wets when Missouri votes again on
the question of state-wide prohibition.
In the campaign of last year the
league's executive committee (elected
at a meeting attended by 47 members)
lined their organisation up with the
liquor people. Business men resented
this action, and this year, at a meet
ing attended by 1,600 members, dry
officers were elected by a majority of
