THE GREAT DESTROYER I SOME STARTLINC FACTS ABOUT ' THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE*" The SsnlleBsneaa of the Brewer Mtkei ' Itself Manifest In the Publicity Baits TVfileh He Itsnes to Cateb tbe Weak and the Unwary. In 110 way does tte soullessness of , ilie brewer manifest itself as In its ad- . vertisemeuts, declares a temperance * paper. A year or two ago a man died . in n neighboring State at an age eon- J siderably over 100 years. So remark- ! able was Lis longevity that an enterprising brewer sent a photographer, 1 ostensibly out of the goodness of his j heart, to secure n likeness of the cen- 1 tenarian. Arranging his subject on the lawn, in front of the window, and J surreptitiously placing a bottle of a cec- : tain brand of intoxicants on the sill, J he secured tbe much-coveted likeness; then, without the knowledge or con- f sent of the innocent eld man, who had ' been all his life a total abstainer, ad- ; vertised him as a user of their concoction and attributed thereto his long life. J Our attention has just been directed . to another defamation perpetrated by this heartless worker of death, and J one that should call forth the most ve hement protest from every American citizen, be he temperate or not. The ' r.qnufacturer of a certain brand of J beer has scattered an advertisement J broadcast into which he drags our ] President. Tbe picture is called "At . the bottom of Oyster Bay." The theme is the recent descent of our President in a submarine craft, and the adver- . tisement 'represents the President at the head of the boat, smiling his delight "while it moves amidst a sunken cargo of this particular brand of beer, with the words beneath, "And it's 's beer, too!" We had been half watching for this; we knew these people had been seating foreign rulers at tables drinking their beer, but hardly thought them brazen ar.I bold enough to go the length they finally did and compel our own President to pay tribute to tneir business in an unholy beer advertisement. We believe President Roosevelt would be righteously indignant to see himself thus unwarrantably portrayed. We make our criticism on the same ground that we would should the flag of our country be thus desecrated. It is in the 6ense that they have used the likeness of Roosevelt the President, not Roosevelt the man, wc lift our voice in positive protest. . . , It is just this spirit that will event- ' ually destroy the institution of the saloon. The public is long-suffering,' very patient, but we believe this heartless disregard of the common decencies of life, this tampering with the good, name of our citizenship is something good men will not stand for, and sooner ! or later win evidence their disapproval in a manner and with a force sufficient to drive the saloon out of commission. ' A Question Answered. ' Has intemperance anything to do with the demonstrated inferiority of Russian military leadership? American Medicine thinks that it has, and compares the habitual if not total abstinence of the Japanese officers with the notorious consumption of vodka and champagne by the Russians. This, it says, is not merely a question of drunkenness at the moment of danger, but of cumulative enV>ct of daily doses of alcohol. "The Russian officer is notorious, by general report, of course, for the large quantities of alcohol he daily consumes, and it is impossible for any brain to submit to such insults without undergoing the changes long known to take place in heavy drinkers. It is not remarkable, then, that the older officers, who are managing the campaign, are constantly outwitted by the healthy minded Japanese. It Is apparently not so much a question of drunkenness as it Is one of pothological results of long continued excessive drinking without drunkenness." This is the medical verdict as to the results in brain deterioration of long continued consumption of alcohol, even in doses moderate enough to keep the user out of the ranks of the drunken. The implications of this verdict in regard to social drinking of our own army and navy?not to say of civil life ?will hardly need to be pointed out to intelligent readers. A Seiiolble Printer. A Ntew Orleans paper tells of a printer who, when his fellow workmen went out to drink beer during working hours put in the bank the exact amount which he would have spent if he had gone out to drink with them. He kept to his resolution for five years. He then examined his bank account, and Sound that he had on deposit $521.85. In the five years he had not lost a day, from ill health. Four or five or nis leilow workmen had in the meantime become drunkards, were worthless ab workmen'and .were discharged. The water drinker bought a printing office, went on enlarging his business, and in twenty years from the time he'.began to put by his money was worth $100,000. Records Public Matter. The temperance people at York, Pa., waged war on a certain hotel which had a bar. Rev. E. E. A. Deavor attempted to secure the names of "the signers and bondsmen on the hotel keeper's petition for license, but the clerk of the court refused on the ground that it would injure the reputation of the signers to have their names published. Judge Stewart, before whom tut? tttoe ?no uutiu, ruj ov.uniiiieij rebuked this idea, and eaid: "Who las constituted the clerk of the courts the guardian of the reputations of the people who sign applications for license? It is right of every man to print or publish (from public records) on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that liberty."?Keystone Citizen. %* ':T*V Canadians Pay the Piper.
