Nature and Effects of Alcohol.
a. Tom| i ,. ;.1 e .Mi atis Self Control.
Intoxicated me.:: . •.•ironed. The
product whirh reducer intoxication
is a |. ■ » u. fer
mentation is i . d t.tin action of
a germ trilled I , teiir. and the liquid
excrenu nt of the |> t. ria i.- the in
toxicating element in heer, wine, whis
key and etc., 'Ve ca". It alcohol. It Is
i produced In to other way.
I). Vlcoho' Not a Food. — Foodstuffs
furnish the body with materials which
build up the tis.4TTes and repair waste
occasioned by labor. Alcohol does not
possess the power to repair tissues, it
only allays the sensation of hunger by
its narcotic action on the brain, which
j is delusive. Alcoholic drinks taken
with meals delays digestion because
1 it hardens the food in the stomach and
prevents the salt and the sugar from
dissolving. Alcohol is a dehydrating
(without water) poison, and its use
is destructive and degenerating to hu
man organisms.
i Its Effect. — The brunt of evil
heritage caused by alcoholism falls
upon nervous system of the next gen
tion. Many children of alcoholic
P . ' ntage show signs of stupidity,
mental deficiency, moral instability,
and lack of moral control. Dr.
Demmes found of ten families (tern
perate) 82 per cent were normal, and
18 per cent were feeble. Of ten In
temperate families 17 per cent were
■ normal, 82.5 per cent were feeble. Of
j the latter group 43.8 per cent died in
1 infancy and of the first group 8.2 per
cent died in infancy.
Alcoholism weakens the body to
such a degree that disease finds it its
best friend. Consequently, in the
United States in one year four times
as many people die from the effects
of alcohol as due from cancer; seven
and a half times as many as die from
typhoid and eight hundred times as
die from smallpox. Alcohol is a poi
son, a narcotic, it impairs strength
and endurance, it promotes sickness
and death, it is a source of misery,
it costs our government many times
its revenue, and is a fruitful source
of crime, a law breaker, a defier of
law and a curse to any community.
2. Its Effect on Society. — Scien
tists tell us alcohol possesses no food
values, and no wthe U. S. Pharmaupela
Society says alcohol is no longer re
cognized as a drug. This knocks its
last props from under It, since it is
neither a food nor a drug, it is only a
habit forming poison, why continue to
| indulge to give money to men who de
j - ire a living without hard work?
The saloon is the licensed poison
| house of the community, whose busi
: ness to make an easy living without
respect for law, order or regard for
the welfare of men, women or child
ren. The saloon is a social parasite.
It robs men and women of their hon
or, homes, friends, business, wives of
their husbands, children and mothers
■ •■WHIG yj 1 tin
happiness and prosperity; the world
o; girted and talented men and wo
men, of life and reason.
The saloon produces paupers, luna
tics, beggars, criminals, dead beats
for sober and industrious people to
support. The saloon agrees to cause
mothers to forget their infants, child
ron to grow up in ignorance, young
women to lose their priceless purity,
young men to become loafers, swear
ers, gamblers, skeptics, lewd fellows
ol the baser sort and murderers. It
further agrees on short notice to send
lathers in a condition to reel home,
break furniture, beat wives, and kick
children out of doors. It fits mechan
ics to spoil their work, be discharged
and become tramps. It makes corrupt
politicians of the raw, base Alaska
type. The saloon fills orders for fev
ers, scrofula, consumption or delirium
•tremens. Its products fill our poor
houses, asylums and prisons for you,
Mr. Taxpayer and sober laboring man.
The total number of paupers in li
censed states for 1910, 83,662, and in
lion-licensed states 4,651. Of the pris
i oners committed to the work house
I in Allegheny county, Pa., in 44 years,
| 91 per cent were drinkers, only 9 per
i cent abstainers. In 1913, 3,798 were
I committed, and of this number 3.482
were drinkers, or more than 91 per
cent.
| Our society and government rests
upon the home, the church, the school
j and the ballot box. The liquor traffic
j destroys the home, hinders the
church, lobs the school and corrupts
! the bullot box.
The liquor traffic is responsible for
50 per cent of our Insane, 69 per cent
of our paupers, 70 per cent of our
criminals. Destroy the traffic and
| reduce the cost of living and your
j taxes, which go to support the courts,
l asylums, almshouses and prisons.
Must the parents of our school
j i hildren become drunkurds In order
i that our public schools may exist?
j Think it over, parents and taxpayers.
| Which is more valuable — children or
i dollars?

at the time the letter published by George Dooley was
issued.
My term of office ended September 1, 1907, when I
resigned.
While I was president of the Mine Owners’ Associa
tion it issued no such letter, nor did it discriminate in any
way against union labor. The operators belonging to the
organization were at that titne paying $6.00 per day in
stead of $5.00, as mentioned in the letter published by
Dooley. JOHN RONAN.
