'Carnovsky's THE FLASK HABIT LICENSE REDUCTION INCREASES THIS HABIT, The Experience of Toronto and Other Cities Clearly Proves This--Some Facts, The feeling in favor of license re- duction in Kingston is not nearly so ~this because jl is now generally re- cognized that license reduction will not lessen the consumption of liguor. I'he experience of Toronto and other cities where license reduction has een tried proves this. There is more liquor drunk in Toronto to-day than ever there has been--and what is worse, it is strong and spirituous li- Yuor as compared with the milder sinds formerly drunk. Under the cir- cumstances it is not to be wondered at that the Toronto hotebmen in meet- ing recently passed a resolution re senting the insinuation that they were responsible for the marked increase in drunkenness in that city. What the hotelmen say is that in- creased drimkenness in Toronto is due to the fact that very many men have developed the flask habit." That is, they patronize the lijuor stores, buy their liguor by the bottle, and, having the whole bottle full by them, con- sume mich more of it than they would i hey were erely passin irom hotel a htt or Cher Be for hyuid refreshment. Anyone who has noted the condition and given any attention to the signs which accom- pany it, must admit that the hotel- men are not far from the mark. And what is trde of 'oronto is equally true of all other centres of population, and will be true of King- stop. It Ts quite proper that the li- quor law should be strictly observed y Mcense holders, but it is true that the rigid enforcement: of the Taw gov- erning selling from Saturday to Mon- day has not appreciably, lessened the consumption of liquor during that probibited period and it is equally rue that license reduction has not Icssomed it. And the answer to the problem is easy. When the man who will drink finds that he cannot get into the pub- lic barroom over the prohibited per- iod, or that his regular barroom has been cut off under license reduction, he exercises forethought and on the Saturday invests in a flask or flasks which tide him over the dry time. And, as the hotelmen say, there is every likelihood that in taking his liquor from the bottle's mouth, he takes much more of it than he would were jt to come from the glass. 'If yor) oubts the correctness of this flask Whiv¥inise, let him stroll through the streets early on a Monday morn- ing and take note of the empty bot ties scattered' iff -roadways, on boule vards aud front lawns in all parts of the city. Phe question of combating the flask evil as an aid 4p drunkenness is one of the most important temperance workers' have * before them to-day. That it is 'an evil of very consider- able proportions is true. Virtually it means the disposition of intoxicating Nguors without let or hindrance from the pockets of the purchaser, without any semblance, of restriction or regu- lation, and thus unrestricted and un- regulated, he stuff passes to any and everyone who happens "fo be in the community, whether of full age .or not. " The RAask habit will certainly grow if ten licenses are ent off in hing- ston, #hd this' means that drunken- ness will grow also.--Advt, Died in Watertown, N.Y.
