ALCOHOL. -COHOL would-be regarded from-adifferent point of | view If everybody would read the recent German scien- tific books on that subject and the statistics of the big American colleges and the Bowery missions. Un- intentionally these sources of information present a -| different line of argument from the Prohibitionists and. tempenince societies. _.._. Alcohol is a fuel, a food ora poison, according to the vehicle of its use.” Some men cannot be made kard: than some otlier men can -be “kept from being drinkards. An inevitable drunkard : =} if deprived of alcohol will use substitutes: if deprived ‘of substitutes he will acquire the drug habit. The weakness exists before fhe excess, anda predisposition must always be or the result of alcoholic excess will be reaction and repulsion instead of a renewed craving. “Drunkenness does not cause poverty so much as poverty produces ‘Hirunkenness. Poverty in this broad sense does not, mean only lack of -snoney,-but lack_of -vitality, lack of will power, lack of ambition, lack af those other physical and mental qualities whose absence means failure. ~The Bowery missions find that the majority of men who drift inte _ them were well educated, many of them graduates. of colleges or tech: * “gical schools, members of the learned professions. The derelicts cast wpon the sea of life from educated families are proportionately more —wurrierous than the-driftwood-from: the-ranks-of-physical-labor, : Amanina profession who has lost his standing through any reason end finds it impossible to return to a profitable practice has none_of the many alternatives opened_to-him_which_every manual: workman and every-day. laborer can readily find, He takes to drink as a solace, to n his cares, jo lull his thoughts to make him forget. ~The Hun miner In the Pennsylvania coal mines will drink his share ‘of a keg of beer every pay-day, sleep off part of the effects that night sweat himself back-into—a~hardy—physical—condition- in- the-coal mbers with his pick and drill. The intoxication of a celebration, a holiday or a banquet is not akin to the drunkenness purposely brought |’ \ ‘on to drown thought. ‘ d As the German professor~Starke writes, the —cause—of excessive irinking is found in mental abnormality or in a combination of misfor- tune with weakness of character. The educated drunkard by choice uses ‘elcohol immoderately to avert the torments of his morbid mind. ~ Bocessive drinking ts not dependent upon the daily income except ‘sorfar as the inabillty to purchase adequate nourishing food tends to the -pee-of alcohol as a substitute. It costs. less to buy. sufficient alcohol “Po. give a feeling of warmth, fulness ‘and satisfaction than to buy roast beef and vegetables, bread and butter and coffee. ~ Tho Yale statistics show that the wealthy students spend 82 times | —9-much-on-altohol-and tobacco. as-the students of small-means. -Pro- portionately the expenditure for alcohol Is greater in the expensive res- 4 =—-\-aumants ‘than in the cheap restaurants. Dinners at the Waldorf, Del- Sherry’s, Rector’s and the like cost about as much for the alcohol as the food consumed. In the five and ten cent restaurants the “emai for<atconot is so slight that none is sold. In twenty-five-cent| ~- Westaurants the alcohol fs confined usually to a five-cent glass of beer and tn the fifty-cent restaurants to some cheap imitation claret, =... These.facts would Indicate that the problem of. drunkenness dwells snore in the field of economics than of morals. pi SS SoS eer Defends Tipping. weighing 220 pounds.
