Life insurance, railroad and manu-
facturing companies are cutting out
liquor drinkers, “for business rea-
sons.” Still, some business men cling
to the notion that saloons help banks
and mercantile establishments. The
CON-DEMS LACK GINGER.
The lack of enthusiasm through-
out the State in the proposed Anti
convention has been one of the marv-
els of the day. And yet it is not
much wondered at. The movement
lacked that element of the word, “gin-
ger,” and the fellows who had the
ginger refused to uncork it, and the
sinews of war, booze and boodle, were
lacking, and thus the great “construc-
tive” movement died a-bornin.’ It
looks very much as though the liquor
interests were about at the point of
quitting putting money into politics,
and when they do this they had as
well quit their “business” altogether,
for the people will quickly make an
end of it.—Palacios Beacon.
THE RUSSIAN TEMPERANCE
PLAN.
That the Czar’s government is wil-
ling to keep his beloved subjects from
worrying overmuch about politics by
supplying them liberally with vodka
is a charge that has recently been
made with some force by Russian
radicals. The statistics are rather on
their side. For several years the
traffic in vodka has been a govern-
ment monopoly for which Count Witte
was originally responsible.
In ten years the sales of vodka
have increased by two hundred and
fifty million dollars—the increase last
year alone being forty million dollars
—which largely comes out of very
meagerly furnished pockets. It is
hardly disputed that drunkenness has
greatly increased during the period of
government monopoly; that there are
industrial communities where at
week-ends “in every house someone
lies drunk;” that the spread of in-
ebriety is a national problem.
Count Witte comes forward with a
novel suggestion: In addition to re-
tricting the sales of vodka he would
turn over to temperance societies a
considerable part of the government
revenue derived from the traffic, to be
used by them in persuading the peo-
ple to abstain from the government’s
alcohol. The proposed t emperance
fund would amount to fifty million
dollars a year, or about a tenth of
the national drink bill.
Giving a man a penny’s worth of
temperance for every dime he spends
in drink does not look like a final
solution of the liquor problem; but
there is something in the suggestion
that every government deriving a
revenue from alcohol might study.—
Saturday Evening Post.
WHY MODERN IDEAS ARE
GAINING.
The moral iniquity produced by the
liquor traffic was the first thing that
turned the attention of men to an ef-
fort to abolish it. And because of
this fact the men who became pio-
neers in the effort to arouse the pub-
lic conscience were a fine type of
crusaders who were moved by moral
considerations. To be sure they were
called cranks, but that was because
they were men who were moved by
an ideal that drove them to action
before the so-called practical man
saw anything in it.
But as the battle waged, with suc-
cess here and there, and the cause
began to demonstrate its worth, men
who are usually moved by more ma-
terial considerations, began to ally
themselves with the movement and
to hasten its progress. All men be-
gan to see that the idea that the
whiskey traffic helped business was
fallacious, but on the contrary, was
its most deadly enemy. When a lo-
cality once wakes up to the fact that
a business which depends for its suc-
cess upon the production of individ-
ual inefficiency and final degeneracy
and pauperism cannot be valuable in
its aggregate contribution to society
however it may add to the wealth of
the individuals engaged in it, then
the success of prohibition in that com-
munity is assured.
And that is what is going on all
certain that Prohibition will in time
be universal in this country as any-
thing can be. It is only a question of
time.
And so it is with other reforms.
Working conditions, insufficient wag-
es, degenerating living conditions,
and kindred evils produce economic
waste and when men come to believe
this in large numbers, as they are
beginning to see it here and there,
we shall have smoother sailing for
reforms. What is generally known
as the progressive movement is
bound to succeed because it is based
both upon good morals and sound
economic considerations. Progres-
sive measures are everywhere de-
monstrating their efficiency and use-
fulness, not only to the people at
large, but to business, and business
is, after all, the main consideration
that moves men. As to the value of
progressive government in Wiscon-
sin, La Follette’s Magazine says:
“Accurate banking reports are a re-
liable barometer of financial pros-
perity. They are weather flags in the
industrial world, predicting storms or
sunshine. The failure or retrench-
ment of large business interests is
always reflected in the bank records
of the community. Its progress and
prosperity are measured by the same
rule.
“Wisconsin started on the path of
progressive government in 1900. Since
that time the assets in its State banks
have increased from $68,223,185 to
$233,699,322 in 1914. National banks
in Wisconsin have increased from
$89,856,000 to $203,506,000 in the same
period. In thirteen years the bank-
ing power of the State has more than
doubled. The total assets of State
and National banks in Wisconsin in
1900 was $158,179,000, as compared
with $437,205,000 in January, 1914.
The assets of building and loan asso-
ciations—financial concerns aiding
the small home-builder—have grown
from $3,819,768 in 1963 to $10,456,499
in 1913. The number of State banks
in Wisconsin has increased from 347
in 1903 to 650 in 1914. Since 1904 not
a dollar has been lost to depositors
in banks operated under Wisconsin
laws, nor has there been a failure
of a building and loan association in
fifteen years. This is a wholesome
prosperity. This story is a leaf from
the book of progress in Wisconsin.
