HOW THE ANCIENT GREEKS SOLVED IT
Long before Cyril, somewhere about 490 A. D., had!
whipped the pagan horde into a semblance of co-ordina
tion, emerged victorious as the champion of the Chris
tian religion and civl government began te take on an
orderly form, the ancient Athenians grappled with the
question of intemperance. Whether they had been shov
ed into the second division of the wrestling league or,
■were inspired by the eloquence of those endeavorng to
point the way to a higher plane matters not. lhev found
that over indulgence in strong liquors was sapping at;
vitals of their cliques or clans,
The way was open for securing legislation deal- j
ing with the question, but in those days the ancients ;
appear to have possessed a sort of sentiency as to the
evils of over-legislation. It was argued that, if teaching
could persuade the barbarians of Africa to cease slitting |
throats at a time when throat-slitting was a national |
pastime, it might work in relation to saving their best
gladiators from the count at the hands of a mere pork
and-beaner from the sticks.
Hence there came into practice the use of slaves as
hori ile examples. History does not tell us if their servi
tude was the result of nocturnal necking parties and hip
flasks. Suffice it to say that they were caught when
their atting or— throat-slitting —average was be
low the .150 mark. But it is set down that there were
a number among them who were created without a safe
ty-valve. These soaks, along with the others as yet had
not addicted to imbibing, were gathered at stated per
iods, herded into a room and told not to allow the bar*
tenders time to wipe off the mahogany. Occupying the
front seats in the balcony were the youth of the land,
including children of both sexes. When the party below
had reached a stage where a fly-weight believed he
could hang the kayo onto the prow of the big barbarian
who had strangled a lion at the last hamburger aim
chitlins exhibition, the runt with the chop-suey tenor
believed he was Caruso, and otherwise docile servitors
began tearing up the furniture and tossing it about,
some staid senator arose, and calling the class into an
other room, delivered himself of a few observations on
the evils of over indulgence and its mental and physical
after-effects.
At about this period the Greeks began develop
ing muscles and shapes which all sensible youth covet
and the latter of which has made woman start in to
effect a metamorphosis in what God gave her, and which
have been handed down to us in marble and bronze for
which millionaires pay a bootlegger’s income to possess.
These temperance taught athletes could throw a bull
over the pasture fence. Now we have, instead of tem
perance, the slaves to vile hootch and narcotics; also
the bull tossers. But these latter confine their activities
to fake statistics, impractical theories and like the hor
rible examples, are intoxicated but with the power of a
war-time coupe in their hands.
