Two Depressions Confront A World’Seeking Recovery One Concerns Economics; The Other A Personal Responsibility — Blunt Words About The Place Os Strong Dring In A New World Order.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Again and again, while travelling in Egypt and other parts of the TTast where British military men are numerous, I have asked frijnds, “How can these young officers afford to drink so much every day? I know their salaries are small, and 1 have seen many a man drink up in afternoon and an evening the equivalent of his day's income.” Answers have usually been, ' “Most of these officers have independent incomes; the rest ruti into debt." Purely from the economic side, the liquor problem is a heavy bur-' den for civilization to bear. It is an unproductive tax on a man's resources. The best that he gets out of it is a tickling of the appet-l ite, and a temporary glow of feel-1 ing. The worst—well, that story is too familiar to retell here. The latest edition of it may be read in other columns of this newspaper. : For booze makes news —bad news; o» automobile mishaps ("Alcohol and gas will not mix'); of I crimes ranging from embezzlement to murder; of broken homes and blighted lives of the innocent. On The Front Page Informed commentators are op- 1 enly saying that King Edward 1 would not have lost the throne had he not early chosen for companions a "fast” set, whose hard drinking and other bad habits had become internationally notorious. It was a dissipated man, indifferent to the moral and Christian standards prevailing amidst most of his subjects who was unable to think clearly , when a grave issue arose. Edward had repudiated the high obligations of kinghood before he surrendered the crown itself. A myriad teachers, around the whole earth, nowadays repeating to youth the moral lessons inherent in the story which for weeks dominated the front pages of the world s newspapers. The familiar dying words of John B. Gough are recalled. "Young man, keep your record i clean. ’ Apparently, the use of liquor distorts a person's sense of proportion and of values. That is why only drinkers find the monotonous and banal programmes of the night clubs entertaining; and afford tfieir outrageous charges. In my travels «***• * « * * 1 *The Sunday School Lesson for January 31 is a Quarterly Temperance Lesson: “The Economic Approach To The Liquor Problem.” Prov. 21:17: 23: 20, 21: Matt. 24: 45-51; John 6:26. 27. 35. «*•»•»**»

Governor Seeks Aid in Strike j: fl ?k ■fast®'* X •/■ ' - j GovVrank .*' Seriousness of the automobile strike situation resulted in a trip to Washington by Gov Frank Murphy of Michigan, right, who went 1 to the capital, accompanied by his brother. George, left, to ask aid at fedartU labor o£suia,. |

1 have often sat through dinners i where other guests had drunk too freely; and the talk grew sillier and sillier and the most pointless . jokes drew loud laughs. The men thought they were having a good time; what really had occurred was that they had abdicated their powers of discrimination and judgment. More than once those same men, suffering from a "hang over,” have confided to me that they had , been fools the night, before. Any | party that substitutes wine for wit i impairs the intellectual integrity of its participants. Not all who drink become drunkards; but Dr. Mayo is credited with ' the statement that three out of every ten moderate drinkers become addicts. And society bears few ' graver or more expensive burdens than the drunkard. In A Time of Crisis ' Some serious but somber thinkI era sincerely entertain the belief | that today civilization is collaps- ' ing before our eyes. Certainly it is I changing. In the ultimate summing up it is the individual who will be i the determinative factor — his strength and wisdom and freedom and resourcefulness. The great crisis of civilization have always been periods of dissipation and I drunkenness, especially at the top. Abstinence from strong drink, ev- ' en though one is of assured selfcontrol, and able to afford the cost, would seem to an intelligent person a reasonable price to pay for fitness to meet the changes that seem just ahead of the world. Surely. the thinking man should be willing to say, "If danger or disaster are coming, I propose that it' will find me sober, and unencumbI ered by any hindrances, and ready to bear a man's part in the struggle.” When I was a cub reporter, older associates assured me that I would have to drink. In a long and varied experience, I have never found an instance where total abstinence was a handicap, and I recall many cases where it was a help. I got my first promotion in journalism because another reporter—a better newspaper man than I—could not be trusted to keep sober in emebrencies. Today, the carousing journalist has pretty well disappeared from the scene: there is no room for him in the modern newspaper office. John Barleycorn's Little Bill Probably the toucan has the big gest bill, in proportion to his size, among all birds. But the biggest bill that society pays is for booze. The American Business Men's Research Foundation of Chicago, reported last September that the grand total of the “legitimate" drink bill of the United States, in

the thirty-nine months since the passing of prohibition, had been 1 $7,687,141,577- not Including other billions spent for hoot-leg liquor. That seventeen and a haif per cent of the legal booze hill went to Government in taxes. I Os this qnornious expenditure, I what remains in tangible benefits ' to the people? Most of the money ■ was kept out of the tills of busl- i ness; the grocer, the butcher, the I milkman, the tailor, the dreasmakj er, the builder, would have had • most of that money, had it not, gone for drink. 1 There is a gruesome aspect of the drinking habit that is being < heavily accented nowadays by eco- < ' nomists and sociologists. Estimaties of automobile accidents due to . liquor range from twenty-five to I 1 sixty per cent. The National Safety Council says that the cost of automobile accidents in 1935 moun- ; ted to a total of $462,500,000 —nearly half-a-bfllion dollars. John Bar--1 leycorn is an expensive companion. Is It Worth While? For milleniums observers of life have been commenting upon this strange phenomenon of the disastrous grip of a single appetite up--1 on a man's character and fortune. 1 To many readers the most ap-, ' pealing portion of the novel, “Ben Hur," was the regimen of prepar-; 1 ation that the noble young Jew and his followers imposed upon themselves that they might be ready to rally to the defense of the • Nazarene when the hour of need ' should strike. That same spirit is ’ to be prepared for the new world ' in which they are to live. There- . tore, for the sake of themselves; i ! for the sake of fellow men who will need them; for the sake of , Country and of God, they should discipline themselves to lay aside every weight—including indulgence in strong drink—that they may be fine and fit for the great tomorrow.

WATER DOESN’T STOP (CONTINUED FHOM not as showing anything unusual in the daily work of the Democrat carriers, but as typical of their willingness to “carry on" under all l conceivable conditions. Papers are delivered in sub-zero weather, driving snow and sleet storms, and in temperatures above 106 degrees. The carriers operate under the "little merchants" plans. They buy the newspapers and are subject to only a few regulations. They are instructed to deliver their papers as soon as possible, be courteous ■ to their customers and in all oth■er matters to follow their own ; judgment. These boys are some of the best collectors in town and seldom fail to meet their bills. Only seldom do j customers leave town or refuse to pay them. They form the last and one of I the important links in the dissemination of news. A war correspond-, • ent in Spain is dependent on a ! newsboy in Decatur to distribute | copies of his stories. Kenneth Beery, son of Mrs. Leota Beery, lives on Bellmont road. His telephone number is 283. He is one of the newer boys on the routes, having carried the Democrat in Bellmont park only about a month. This is the first of a series of stories and pictures of Decatur Democrat carriers. o *’CONGRESS TODAY By UNITED PRESS Senate: In recess. Committees: Agriculture meets at 10 a. m.
