YOBKA CURSE. $500,000,000 Natibp's Annual Drink Bill--Sale .a Government Mono- poly--Reform Campsign is Labor- ing Under Big Handicaps. Si. Petershurg, June 20--In the past couple of nionths it has become of abatinefes from Strong drink. The ezar himsell in hid rescript appoin ting the new finance minister, P. 1, Bark, sald that in his travels in Rus- #ia his eyes had sometimes been dis- treised by the miserable results of Alcoholism among his beloved pea- saniry, and he desired his minister, as controller of the state alcohol mio- nopoly, to champion the case of sabriéty. » : It is an abselute certainty that the political police paver allowed a druniten peasant to be within sight of {le czif, or allowed the czar to see a home ruined by dink; but fhe imperial pronouncement is, all the slime, an important step on the road alopg which Russia is drifting The coincidence of different tend encies coming sharply to a head at the same time has brought the drink problem to the front in Russia. For the past twenty-five yéars--ever since the central government took over the.monopoly inthe sale of al cohol--yqdKka has become each year a more and more important factor in the Imperial révenue This past year--iheé last budget of the Ko kovtze finanéia regime the revenue from vodka reached $500,- 000,000, The fiknre scandalized the, respectpble sense of seriohis people But Kokovizeff was entirely a laissez faire wan. Ijis predécessor and enemy, 'White had made glcohol a government source of wealth to pay for his ambidous railroad and in- dustrial finance, and Kokovizeff wa: quite content (fo use the proceeds to curities and to keep the revenue side of the budget abreast of the vast naw expgnditure on ary and navy Witte's Plan Rejected. Into this quarrel between finan- cial experts. the decent outside pub- lic broke in with the demand that the drink question he handled, not as a mere matter of inimediate ve- venue, but as the biggest of social and econoinic troubles in Russia. Witte came some way toward tmeet- ing tbis clamor, and proposed that the revenue from aleghol received into the imperial treasury should he steadily reduced by reducing the sale of vodka until $350,000,000 should be the maximum taken in one year This proposal was rejected in the council of empire by the territorial magnates who own the distilleries which sell their output to the goveran- ment, but the discussion of the sub- ject lad to the overthrow of Kokovt- zeff. Aside from the political phase of the ynestion there is the phenomen «n that drinking bas increased ~rormously in th» last half-dozen veal:--in the period when thers has been a great increase in the eircula- tiont of michey among the peasantry In the breaking up of the communes entailed by the new land act," set- ting up freehold farmers as the pre- vailing agricultural typé in'Russia, peasants who sold out but did not wish the work of building up home- stedds for themselves were paid in cash from the State Peasants' Bank, an institution subsidized by the treasury for the operation of lamd transfers. Thrifly peasants hus banded their little capital for their || new Hvelfhood; most of the other: took Ht to the "monopolka--the goy- ernment monopoly drink-shop of the district. Drink to Get Drunk. It has been said that some people drink to gquefch thirst, others to £6t merry, bot a Russian to .get drbnk. Any one who has seen the country drink Shops in Russia wil) be inclined to forgive. Vodka, and nething but vodka, is sold to be drank out of the neck of the bottle apd without a seat ofr table to give a 8ocial sense to the performance No glasses, n® carafes of drinking wiltgr, are in the place, no doubt bhe- case the customers would take them away, and the establishments are government property, and the treasury, as owner of the vodka mgnopoly, would have to make good thé loss. The bare squalor of the drinking business serves to hasten the drinking Russian's lenging for a "change "of mood." A few swigs at thé neck of his vodka bottle and be is in another world as surely as any Cinatnan drugged with opium There I$ nothing féstive about the performance. 0 gee the group of Russias mad with vodka in the public road, outside a monopolka is about the most repulsivecspectatle'in the world; their horrid, melancholy helplessiiess gives them the look of beitg débimanized. Decent people who want to pass along that road must walt until they have increased to substantial Iufipheta and have Strang men among them. And the astonishing thibg i= that erimes committed in this state are condon- ed by Russian courts and juries as upfortungte acts of afflicted people. he invariable verdict is, "committed in "a #fate of irresponsibility," and the sentence is gither a few .weeks' imprispumant or, more commoply, nothing at all. Floating Missions. * The people~ in Russia who are tying te take practical head- way on the lines of the czar's tem- perance rescript ape making a brave stir. This month they have started two floating temperance missions from Tver fo navigate the Volga and Kama and advance the cause of ab- stinence among the riverside popula- tion. On board each are a couple of lecturers, and there are cinemato- graph lms demonstrating staph ruination that results giving way to drimk.

The czar has decreed {hat at the daily drinking of his health at officer's regimental mess, it'is en- ough to sland up and make the ges- ture of salute. Gen. Miknetzky, the adjutant-general, responsible for the moral condition of the army, has is- sued a long order on the subject, in Which he maintains that Rusejan's beiwéen the ages of twenty - and twenty-four--that is, during their age" of military service--are the ueulthiest people fbr their yews in the world, fing that their systems do not need any alcohol at all. If be fore entering the army their stom- achs have been habituated 1a the use of strong drink they should be serv- "@ in the regimental canteen with large onions sliced, and these will satisfy them. He urges officers not to drink in the presence of their nen, becayse example is a greater influ- sce than anything else. He also forbids officers' clubs from opening credit actounts with their members, as has been the ecpstom hiterto. In spite "of this: the Immunity of the drunken officer from the comsequen ces of his acts remains beyond all understanding, ? The Russian Army. Recently af the buffet of the military railway station at Peterhiof a drunken officer kept de- manding more drink after viesing time. The private soldier serving at the bar was shot dead for refusing to serve him. Another soldier who laid hands on him to restrain him from shooting others, was court-martial: ad and sentenced to five years' penal servitude for assaulting his superior officer The murderer, the officer, was lef off with two months' con inement to barracks for 'excess Comuitited while ip a state of irre sponsibility ® : Russia has only 2,000 government savings bank officers for the people, while it has over 7,000 drinking shops The most unflinching and best or- ganized endgyy of temperance reform is the department of the interior. Ite political police, spread all over the ampire and sending reporis on savings and behavior of even provisional governors, whom it supposed to serve, regard the vodka shops as an auxiliary of their work The vast hordes of unskilled laborers thrown up by the breaking up of the commuaes and now often getting high wages in the miné and metal industries rapidly spreading "ove: dussia are less dangerous politically if they spend their wages on drink I'hey are very gregarious and talk- itive, and with some vodka added it is easy for the police to learn the Aames of the workmen who agitate politics auiong their comrades.
