Bixtiop X«G«bM s Prohibition Town. Bishop McCab recently furnished the following significant item to the West­ ern Christian Advocate: "Within fifty- eight miles of Pittsburg Pa., is the little town of Bolivar. The principal busi­ ness is brick making. This is controlled by the Reese Hammond Fire Brick Com­ pany. They have had no saloons there for thirty years. There are two hun­ dred and fifty men in the employ of the company. They nearly all own their own homes. There is no poverty, no suffering, very little crime, no strike be­ tween labor and capital. The Golden Rule is lived up to by both sides. Pov­ erty is abolished: it goes with the saloon. There would be many more towns and cities like Bolivar if the press and pub­ lic speakers would tell the infernal bus­ iness which fills the land with sorrow and despair." Abolish the saloon and yon abolish poverty, strikes, strife be­ tween capital and labor, wife beating, divorce, and three-fourths of the mur­ ders and other crimes with all their at­ tendant woe and misery. ^ , Bam In Afri®a.. L_ The Anglican bishop of «pmtwrtal Africa has created a profound sensation by stating that seventy-five per cent of the deaths of Europeans on the coast of Africa are due to drink. The excessive thirst caused by the burning heat; the unpalatable water, containing deadly fever germs; the depression that comes from lack of civilised society, with a feeling akin to homesickness therefrom, are given as reasons which make tem­ perance difficult in tropical countries. The leading testimony of the highest medical authorities deserves respectful consideration. We are told that "strong drink or alcohol in the tropics often proves fatal to both the white and col­ ored races, destroying both mind and body, and that in coast regions like those of equatorial Africa, nothing short of total abetinance will assure immunity from its dangers." In the face of such assertions it is easy to understand why oriental religions forbid the use of in­ toxicating liquors. It would be well if our American civilizers and Christian- icers would learn this lesson of total ab­ stinence from the "heathen." Recognizing idleness as a most potent ally of the drink habit, the British have provided light games and sports among their soldiers stationed in tropical coun­ tries. America should not be slow in adopting like measures for its thirty thousand men in the Philippines and its several thousands more in the West Indies, who are keenly susceptible to temptations in their peculiar situation. The European congress, recently in session in Brussels, and called chiefly to consider means of averting the danger that threatens to exterminate the native Africans as well as resident Europeans, expressed itself as fully awake to the folly of having allowed the importation of alcohol among the Africans. How slow the world is to learn the truth, that all wrongs must at some time be rights, and that, in the event ot man's indifference, evil will perish by the divinely appointed method of its own self-destruction!
