Ninety-five out of everyhundred of them poison their brains and other tis- sues very regularly with a little rum of some kind. Most of them are very temperate. The.abler men are usually sound in the nerves, and most of them have no trouble about self-control in drinking. Nearly all of them drink a little, and demonstrate by their ex- ample that the extreme theories about the harmfulness of intoxicants are not justified. SpHEY drink a great deal less than they did a century ago. Intelli- gent people are careful what they drink nowadays, and usually are very abste- mious, The increase of knowledge about alcohol has operated to reduce the dose, tut it is not operating to reject alcoholic beverages altogether. That is what the Prohibitionists believe in and want to do, but they will not succeed, and where they win for a time, their success will breed so much evil—so much irritation, so much “dope”, so much law-breaking and demoralization of character and poli- tics—that reaction will follow and the lid will come off again. Their prin- ciple is wrong. They are trying to impose upon the sane and the compe- tent limitations of liberty. suited only to the irresponsible and crazy. They can regulate the liquor traffic, probably to advantage; they can teach that alcohol is a dangerous clement in beverages, and that is true; they can teach that four-fifths of the people are better off without any intoxicants at all than with such as they can get in this country, and that is probably true. But they cannot abolish the liquor traffic altogether nor detach alcohol from civilization, The dream of a world where the ignorant, the self-in- dulgent and the brutish will be safe from temptation will never come true, and if it did, such a world would perish by the redundancy of the unfit. Rum as at present used and abused is an enormous evil, but the way to are it is not by abolition. You cannot make the world good by turning it into a jail. You can keep whiskey out of Sing Sing, but opium and cocaine get in. So they do in the prohibit.on States. One devil being driven out, seven move in, THE rum problem is a hard problem. The great cure for it is the train- ing of people who can take care of themselves.

U, 45 West 34th St., NEW YORE Inventor and Patentee mechanical age make for abstemious- ness, for they cannot be handled safely by muddled brains, Business competi- tion makes for temperance. Men who are not safe in the presence of alcohol cannot hold good jobs. But where the strains of mechanical work or of busi- ness competition are excessive, that makes for alcoholism, because ex- hausted men drink, and that kind of drinking is dangerous. The best substitute for alcohol is tea. As a temporary expedient in limited localities where the proportion of ir- responsibles is large, prohibition may cio good, but as a general remedy for rum it is a sure failure. E. S. Martin.
