FROHIBITION.

HERESTING STATEMENT.

Gandier, of California head of the movement to make the world dry, and the man who made Amarios dry, is in Shang- hat on his way to Manila to tell u how prohibition makes us happy. The following from the Shanghai Press gives an impres. tion of his views

The United States of America have adopted prohibiton as the permanent policy of the nation. The amendment to the Constitu- of the US which prohibits the manufacture, sale inportation, ex- portation or transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, was passed. It has been ratified by 45 State legislatures, only New Jersey. Rhode Island Card Connecticut failing

apprare.

Probably no one could enume Tate all the influence which help- ed to bring this about. I shall mention five which seem to me to be the most important.

to

"The first was scientific invest- igation of the effects of alcohol. upon the individual and the race. This showed clearly that alcohol, used as a beverage works some injury. At its best it does some harm, and at its worst it is hellish.

These conclusions were verified by investigations in many lands and" by military and industrial experience, so that employers began to favour total abstainers, making them the first to be pro- mated and the last to be dis charged.

Scientific investigation also revealed the fact that even so- called moderate drinking in- creases sickness and shortens life. Insurance companies began to keep records of their policy- holders. They would not insure drankafds.

Then the effect of drink upon In- the family was studied.

vestigations made in Britain, Finland, Switzerland, America and other lands showed that drink robs many children of their right to be well-born

The second 'cause of America. going dry is the new social còn- sclence which has been develop. ed Recent years have heard a new note in the religious and political life of America. Brewery- -owned saloons were found to be one of the worst elements in political life. They were invariab Tythe allies of special privilege.

saloon failed. It was ini curably bad. If politics were to be purified the saloon must go. And so agreat body of men, who were not total abstainers, became prohibitionists. For the sake of their country, they were willing to give up their drink-not because they thought that drink was hurting them, but because they were convinced that prohibi- tion offered the only remedy for the corrupting influence of the liquor traffic in pubic life.

In my judgement modern cost- finding systems and workmen's compensation laws were a big influence in causing America to go dry. So long as employers did not have to take care of employes injured in their service, accidents in factories and mills were not a great expense to the business. The operation of workmen's compensation laws made accidents expensive, and em- ployeers began to investigate the cause of accidents. This trail led directly to the drink habit. Then modern cost-finding systems en- abled employers to tell who among their men were the most efficient. This led to a study of the men and their habits. Abstainers were found to be more efficient than drinking men......

The fourth reason for America going dry was the effective organisation of the dry forces. The Anti-Saloon League has been at work twenty-five years and has only a national organisation, state organisations in every

of the Union.
